The two primary uses for roll off dumpsters are large cleaning projects and construction projects. Here are some examples:

• Basement, attic, and garage cleanouts
• Large spring cleaning projects
• Yard waste removal
• Cleaning out a house prior to a sales listing
• Kitchen and bath remodeling projects
• Roof tear-offs for roofing projects
• Replacing siding or windows
• Commercial construction

Dumpsters are measured by the number of cubic yards a container will hold, a 15-yard dumpster will hold 15 yards of waste materials. The typical dumpster sizes are 15 yds, 20 yds, & 30 yds. 

The two things that have the biggest impact on the cost of renting a dumpster in Tulsa are where you are located and how much debris you need to have removed.

Your location will have a significant impact on the cost of renting a dumpster as each landfill and city municipality will have different fees and taxes associated with disposing of the contents of a roll-off dumpster, the difference can be 300 to 400% from city to city.

The amount and type of debris you will be disposing of will also have a big impact on the cost. Simply the more material and the heavier it is the more it’s going to cost.

Most dumpster rental companies charge a flat fee for the specific sized dumpster, a specific number of days, and for a certain amount of weight. For example, you would receive a bid of $400 for a 30 cubic yard dumpster, for 7 days, and not to exceed 3 tons.

However, some dumpster companies may have additional fees for, delivery, landfill costs, fuel charges, etc. So make sure when are quoted a price it is a flat fee for a specific size, time, and weight. Then comparing prices will be very straight forward.

Even with flat fee pricing extra charges may apply if you need to dumpster longer then the scheduled rental period. There is usually a daily fee for extending the rental period that is typically between $3 and $10 per day.

Additionally, if you exceeded to stated weight limit there will be additional fees. Each dumpster is weighed at the landfill or transfer station and the dumpster service pays a fee to dispose of the dumpster. If the dumpster exceeds the agreed upon tonnage there will be an additional weight fee that typically ranges from $30 to $100 per ton of overage, depending on the local landfill fees and taxes.
