To save time and money in the dumpster search process, we need to talk about what to look for in rental companies before you make your ultimate decision.
Although you should ask your dumpster service many questions throughout the rental process, it is important to do diligent research before moving forward with a specific dumpster rental company. Arrowaste has put together a guide on what to search for when looking for the perfect company to take care of your business. Whether it be a renovation project or weekly commercial trash service, Arrowaste has your back.
Jack-of-All-Options
In the dumpster business, you can never have too many options. In fact, the more options you have, the better off you are! Some would say broad services – like residential, commercial, and industrial – are what you should look for in a dumpster rental company. However, this is far from the case. Even though a company might offer all these broad service categories, the dumpster rental may not offer a variety of dumpster sizes. At Arrowaste, we offer 5 different sized dumpsters including 6-, 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yard dumpsters for waste pick-up services, covering all your needs with the project or business at hand. When you are looking for your jack-of-all-options rental company, make sure they are willing to work with you to provide the best customized dumpster size and service.
Flexibility in Availability
Although a dumpster rental company may have all the dumpster options in the world, they may not be able to deliver timely and customized service for your needs. Just as understanding your dumpster rental’s options is important, you should also be aware of the flexibility in delivery and pick-up for your waste removal services. Availability options can range from specified time for pick-up and delivery, rental period, and even customer service for answering your questions. For example, here at Arrowaste, you can rent a dumpster for a period of 10 days and schedule pick-up whenever is convenient for you. As Arrowaste allows the client to change the rental period and time of pick-up and delivery, many rental companies have strict guidelines and policies for dumpster rental services. If flexibility in availability is important to you, make sure to ask your local dumpster representative about related residential and commercial waste services questions.
Perfecting the Pricing
Nationally, it costs nearly $400 to rent a roll-off dumpster. That’s expensive! To decrease these costs, check to see if your dumpster rental company has hidden fees or charges for waste removal services. Ask your local dumpster representative about added costs, specifically the following: hazardous, overloading, tonnage, trip, and late fees. In addition to the cost of a roll-off dumpster or commercial waste service, these hidden fees – especially tonnage fees – can add up, making your final cost a lot more than what you initially thought. If you know these added fees beforehand, you can work with your dumpster rental company, as well as your own waste-related habits, to help reduce total costs.
As these three categories are the most important to research and think about when choosing your dumpster rental company, at the end of the day, make sure the company is professional and has a team you could see yourself working with long-term.
