Understanding Dumpster Rental Costs
Dumpster rental prices can vary significantly depending on your location, the type of debris you're disposing of, and the duration of your rental. The "National Average" shown above represents the typical cost for a standard 20-yard dumpster, which is the most common size for residential projects.
Key Factors Affecting Price:
- Location: Disposal fees (tipping fees) at local landfills vary by county and state.
- Weight Limit: Exceeding the included weight limit will result in overage charges (typically prorated per ton).
