Junk Removal vs. Dumpster Rental: Which Is Right For You?
When you are in the middle of a project, whether it’s home improvement or cleaning up a property, you may find yourself with a lot of debris and junk. You have two choices at this moment: junk removal or renting a dumpster.
Which one is right for you?
That’s going to depend on a couple of things. Let’s take a look at what you need, and which option will work better for you.
Junk Removal
Junk removal involves hiring a company to send a crew that will clear out the junk for you. They will bring what they need and they will haul everything you want hauled away. This can be a nice option for you if you don’t have the time or the energy to clean the property yourself.
Of course, there is a catch when it comes to junk removal. It is the most expensive of your options. This is because you will be paying for the crew as well as the dumpster and everything else that goes into the project.
Sometimes it may be necessary to have help cleaning out an area. If the objects are too large for you to handle then you should consider junk removal. Of course, there are other options available, such as hiring someone besides the dumpster rental company to do the moving for you, such as local teenagers. This could save you money on the job.
There is also the issue of time constraints. A lot of junk removal services will have a time window in which they can work for you. They have other clients and need to keep their crews ready and available. If you have a large job, or one that is going to take a lot of time, this option may not be for you.
Dumpster Rental
When you rent a dumpster, the waste management company you’re working with will bring in a dumpster and drop it off. The dumpster will remain there for as long as you rent it, and when it is full they will haul it off for you. This saves you the time and aggravation of dealing with the landfill.
This is a cheaper alternative to having a crew come and take care of the junk for you. You could have friends or family help you, or do the entire job by yourself. You can also hire others to come in and help you if necessary. If you already have a crew, such as if you are doing construction work, then you have hands ready to help.
The best part about dumpster rental is that there will be no cost increases. The price you pay to rent the dumpster is based on the size of the dumpster and how long you will need it. Most waste management companies have plenty of dumpsters, so a few extra days isn’t going to cost you much.
You should consider the cost of each option before making a decision. It can have a major impact on your ability to complete the task and on your bottom line. Don’t pay anymore than you need to.
