The Comfort of Clean

Why Renting A Dumpster For A Week Is Often A Better Option Than A Daily Rental

If you're planning a big garage or attic cleanout, you might want to rent a dumpster to make it easy to get rid of all the junk you don't want to keep. You can rent a dumpster for different time periods, but a weekly rental is one of the more common options for residential cleanouts. Some dumpster rental companies may require a weekly rental period, but if not, you may still want to keep the dumpster for a week. Here's why.

You May Not Get A Price Break For Daily Rental

When you compare prices between weekly and daily rentals, you may find the cost to be nearly the same. That's because it costs the company the same amount of money for dump fees and transportation costs whether you keep the dumpster for a day or a week. There might be a small price difference, but you'll have to consider if paying a little more to keep the dumpster longer is worth it so you won't have to rush when filling it up.

You'll Have The Dumpster Over The Weekend

Dumpster rental rates can be higher over the weekend when compared to during the week since dumpsters are in more demand then. If you can only work on the weekend, you might have difficulty scheduling your dumpster or you may have to pay more. When you rent a dumpster for a week, you'll have it in your driveway waiting on your days off when you can be the most productive.

You'll Be Prepared For Delays

You don't want to rent a dumpster for a day and then not be able to use it because you're sick or because of unexpected rain. When you have your dumpster several days, a day of delays won't ruin your plans. Plus, you might think you can clear out your attic in a single day, but once you start going through your things, you may realize the job is going to take more time than you planned on. You'll have less stress and have time to allow for changes to your plans if you have the dumpster for a more flexible time period.

Be realistic when making plans for your dumpster rental. Learn about the rental options so you have the dumpster for as long as you need it. If you rent a dumpster for the day and don't finish the job, you might be able to add another day on, but paying for two days at the daily rate might cost the same or more as renting for a week. If you'll be working at your job and keeping up with the usual family activities during the cleanout, you might even need to have the dumpster for more than a week.

You'll want the best value for your money, so compare daily, weekly, and monthly rental rates and then think about how long it will take you to complete the cleanout taking into account the disruptions that come along with a busy family schedule. You may find the weekly rental option to be the right fit. Contact a dumpster rental service for more information.
