Before You Book a 10- or 20-Yard Dumpster, Read This First

Before We Talk About Dumpster Sizes…

I am sure that you may be wondering what qualifies me to give advice regarding dumpster sizes.

Well, I work as a customer service representative at a dumpster rental firm, and my entire day revolves around people planning to undertake a clean-up, remodel, or renovation. Every conversation is different, but there is something that I hear quite often: "I don’t know which dumpster I should rent."

It is only reasonable that you do not know the answer, especially if this is your first time considering dumpster rentals. That's where I come in.

I don’t immediately put pressure on you to select a dumpster; rather, I will probably begin by asking some easy questions first. Once you give me some information about your project, it is much easier for me to find the correct sized dumpster for your needs. In some cases, all you need is a 10-yard dumpster; other times, a 20-yard dumpster rental in NJ is ideal.

Every Phone Call Teaches Me Something New

What would surprise you most is how many people feel the need to apologize for asking a "silly" question.

Believe me, there are no silly questions.

It's not uncommon to hear from our customers that they initially felt they should get the biggest dumpster until we figured out that, actually, something smaller would suit them perfectly well. Some wanted to get the smallest dumpster to save money on the rent; however, once we discussed all that they wanted to throw away, it turned out that it wouldn't fit at all.

For instance, if I were told that they are going to clean the garage or dispose of some bulk materials, I would suggest that they should consider using the 10-yard dumpster.

However, this is what would happen if someone told me that he or she wanted to replace a roof, remodel a kitchen, dispose of some old flooring from several rooms, or move out of a house after clearing everything in it. These are projects that normally generate a huge amount of debris, and therefore, a 20-yard dumpster rental in NJ is the ideal choice for such tasks. This ensures that you continue with the project without being forced to stop just because the dumpster filled earlier than you thought.

These cases show me how important it is to make a choice based on a good understanding of the project and not on guesswork.

This is why I always try not to hurry up any of my customers when talking on the phone.

Before You Reserve Your Dumpster, Keep This in Mind

However, before you go about booking one, do not think of pricing alone.

This is the simplest way to ensure that you get the best recommendation possible. You do not have to be an expert in dumpster sizes because that is what we are for. All you need to do is to let us know about your cleanup project, and we will be able to point you to the right choice.
