Make the Most of Your Dumpster Rental
Planning a home project? Whether you’re updating your kitchen or tackling a full remodel, here are a few simple tips to help you get the most out of your dumpster rental from Bama Rolloff & Recycling.
Pick the Right Size
Choosing the right dumpster size saves you time and money. A 15-yard dumpster is great for smaller cleanouts or one-room remodels, while a 20- or 30-yard works best for larger renovations. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you choose the right size. Remember it’s better to have a little extra space than to run out halfway through. See our dumpster size guide here.
Schedule Delivery for the Right Day
Plan to have your dumpster delivered a day before your project starts so you can begin loading the day of. If your project runs longer than expected, just give us a call, we offer flexible rental extensions to fit your timeline.
Load It Efficiently
Start with flat, heavy items like wood or drywall at the bottom, then stack lighter materials on top. Break down furniture, boxes, and debris to maximize space. Keeping materials level with the top rail helps ensure safe pickup and prevents overage fees.
Know What Can and Can’t Go In
Most household junk, furniture, yard waste, and construction debris are fine. However, avoid hazardous materials like paint, batteries, fuel, or chemicals. For a full list, check our Acceptable Materials page or ask before loading, we’re happy to help.
Protect Your Driveway
If your dumpster will be placed on your driveway, put down plywood or boards to prevent marks or damage. Our drivers are careful, but an extra layer of protection is always smart.
Plan for Cleanup
Keep a clear path to the dumpster, especially if multiple people are working. When the job’s done, just give us a quick call or text and we’ll haul everything away, no hassle, no mess left behind.
