Planning in Advance Can Make a Big Difference in the Success of Your Project

Looking for a new pair of shoes? You wouldn’t want to accidentally buy a pair that’s too small, and you certainly don’t want shoes that are too big (unless you’re five years old, and your parents claim that you’re going to “grow into these.”)

Buying a suit or dress? Too small or too large just won’t do.

Planning on buying a huge party sub for the Chiefs game? You don’t want anyone in the rec room to go without a piece of the sandwich, and you don’t want too much … Okay, well, in this case having too much isn’t really a bad thing.

However, when we’re talking rental dumpsters, you definitely don’t want to have too much room left over, and you definitely don’t want to be stuck with a dumpster that’s overflowing while you still have another room to clear out.

This is why you should tap into Small Haul Containers ’ expertise and outstanding customer service when renting a dumpster in Kansas City for residential or commercial projects. You can describe your project to us, and we’ll let you know which rental dumpster you’ll need. In the meantime, allow us to offer some measuring advice to ensure you’re getting the perfect fit for your next clean up.

How to Estimate the Size of Your Small Roll-Off Dumpster Rental

On our website, we offer a sizing guide that will help you estimate the perfect-sized dumpster when renting a residential dumpster from Kansas City’s leading waste management solutions team, Small Haul Containers.

You can look into all of our sizes, from 6 to 20 cubic yards, but – to be helpful here – we’ve provided a description below – for our two smallest sizes – to give you a sense of how we help customers determine what they need.

Six cubic yards: Think of this as three truck-loads worth of material. Imagine a small kitchen demolition, or a small garage or basement cleanout.

10 cubic yards: Moving up to the 10 cubic yard rental dumpster, you now can put four truck-loads worth of material in one container, which will allow you to get rid of excess waste from small-to-medium sized cleanouts, including a kitchen renovation or deck demolition.

From there, we have 13, 16, and 20 cubic yard roll-off rental dumpsters , which increase the estimated number of truck loads with each larger size. For example, at 20 cubic yards you get eight truck-loads-worth of space, which is perfect for big home improvement projects.

It’s Math Time with Small Haul Containers!

Bear with us – we know not everyone loved math class! But here’s how you can get an even more detailed measurement of the rental dumpster you’ll need for your next project.

  1. Imagine how many large moving boxes worth of material you want to clean out.
  2. Each large moving box provides about .2 cubic yards of space.
  3. Multiply the number of boxes you think you’d fill by .2
  4. Write down that number!
  5. Know that our six cubic yard rental dumpster is equivalent to three pickup truck loads.
  6. A pickup truck’s bed is about two cubic yards in volume.
  7. Therefore, if your job is the equivalent of 10 or less moving boxes, a six cubic yard, small roll-off rental dumpster will likely meet your needs.

Another Sizing Question We Get From Small Roll-Off Dumpster Rental Customers

Once we’ve helped our customers determine the size of the residential rental dumpster they need, they often ask whether our dumpsters will fit in their driveway.

We are proud to report that ALL of our dumpsters for rent fit in the typical driveway. Our dumpsters’ widths are all the same, but come in different lengths, so – no matter what size you choose – if you’re renting a dumpster from Small Haul Containers, you’ll be in good shape.

If you do have special circumstances, however, we are always happy to connect to ensure that your Kansas City dumpster rental serves you exactly how you expect it will. We love strategizing with our customers to help you make your next project a success.
