A roll off dumpster rental provides an easy and quick way to get rid of waste. These rentals are perfect for a one-off as well as ongoing junk removal needs. For all their benefits, one of the primary concerns for anyone looking to hire these dumpsters is the cost. How much will it cost you to get a roll off dumpster rental? It depends, and here is a brief look at some top factors determining rental costs. 

1. Size of the Dumpster

Roll off dumpster rental units come in several sizes. The bigger the dumpster you get, the higher the rental cost. That said, it is crucial to ensure you get it right with the size of the dumpster unit you choose, as any mistakes can cost you. 

If you go for a small roll off dumpster rental that can't hold all your junk, you'll be forced to get another unit, at an extra cost. Similarly, if you get a dumpster that's way bigger than you actually need, you'll end up paying for unused capacity.

2. Your Location

Transportation costs are a significant part of the total costs of a roll off dumpster rental. The rental company will charge you based on the distances to be covered to and from your location to deliver and pick up the dumpster. There is also due consideration for the distance to the nearest landfill.

3. Rental Duration

The rates will differ depending on how long you keep the roll off dumpster rental. You can rent the dumpster for as long as you'd like, and most companies charge by the day. If you need the rental for a very short time, you may not be able to get a discount. Some companies may offer a discount for longer rental durations.

Remember also that extending the original rental duration for your roll off dumpster may attract extra costs. Again, most companies will charge per day for however long you extend the rental period.

4. Availability of Rentals

Some days are busier than others for roll off dumpster rental companies. For example, during spring when most people are looking to do some spring cleaning, the demand for the roll off dumpsters can get quite high. The imbalanced supply and demand dynamics will push up the rental price points.

The highlighted factors greatly determine roll off dumpster rental costs. Of course, you will want to discuss your needs with rental companies and compare quotes.
