Question 1

How much does it cost to rent a dumpster in Kitimat, BC?

Accepted Answer

Rental rates vary across the country, but all rates are dependent on:

Type of debris
Dumpster size for the job
Length of rental
Extra options ordered

In weighing your purchase decision for a dumpster rental, consider efficiency and effectiveness. Workers can be much more efficient on a roofing project or driveway replacement at your home or business with access to a centrally located, deep-capacity dumpster to safely contain shingles, sharp and broken debris, garbage, clutter and junk. WM wants you to be a well-informed customer. This is critical to making good rental decisions.

Use these 5 easy steps to estimate your dumpster rental cost.

Know the contents of the load to collect and haul away. This helps with estimating volume and weight. Here's an example: Storm damage covered your property with fallen limbs. You rent a 10-yard dumpster for one week. When the job is done, the volume of debris almost fills the 10-yard. The weight of debris you take to the landfill is under 3 tons. This job is on budget: under the limits for weight and volume.
Choose the right size dumpster. Visit our Support Center to speak with one of our friendly team members if you have questions about the right size for your rental.
Estimate how long you plan to have your dumpster on site. Daily, weekly and monthly rentals are available at a wide range of prices from various rental companies. We strive to work with your project's needs, even if they change as your job unfolds. Shop around for what you need. And watch out for hidden fees that can drive up a rental that looks like a bargain!
Select options of wheels, locks, plastic liners, rear entry doors and other add-ons that may be helpful for your project.
Ask about permitting that may be required in your area. City or county permitting costs will not be included in the cost of your dumpster rental, in most cases.

A word of caution! Some rental companies charge extra fees that can add up fast.

Delivery Fee: Charged for dumpster delivery to the site.
Removal Fee: Charged for dumpster haul-off from the site.
Shorter Rental: For example, you may be charged full one-week price even if you don't use the dumpster for a full week.
Extra Days: Extra day charge may be as little as $5 - $10 per day, or significantly more. Check with the service providers you are considering.
Overflow Fee: Any debris not beneath the Maximum Fill Line on an open top dumpster may incur this charge.
Overload Fee: Loads above the Maximum Capacity Weight of a roll-off dumpster are fined for each additional ton.
Special Items Fee: For electronics and bulky household items. Regulations vary across local and state sites.
Taxes: You will be charged federal and state taxes, in most cases, for your dumpster rental.

Question 2

Are you moving to the Kitimat area and wondering how you can use a dumpster in your move?

Accepted Answer

Roll-off containers are used by construction, demolition and remodel businesses, as well as those that generate large waste loads, such as manufacturing plants. Many different sizes of roll-off dumpsters are available from WM. Most popular sizes include dumpsters with 20-, 30- and 40-cubic-yards of capacity. Roll-off dumpsters and bins can be placed in safe locations. WM trucks will need to be able to access the dumpster in order to remove it. Once emptied, it can be replaced in its original or other designated location. Some types of waste, especially hazardous, are not allowed in roll-off dumpsters and/or require an additional fee. Contact us to order your roll-off dumpster to ask about what materials can and cannot be placed in a roll-off container. Roll-off dumpsters are ideal for manufacturers, large retailers, commercial or residential renovations, construction and demolition firms, land, yard or tree clearing trimming and removal, festivals and large events, and agricultural harvests.

Question 4

What are my options when renting a dumpster in Kitimat, BC?

Accepted Answer

Dumpster Size

The first choice to make when renting a dumpster is deciding what size you need. Dumpsters are sized based on how many cubic yards of waste they hold.

A 10-yard dumpster is 8 feet wide x 12 feet long x 3 ½ feet high. It holds 10 cubic yards of waste.
A 20-yard dumpster is 8 feet wide x 22 feet long x 4 feet high. It holds 20 cubic yards of waste.
A 30-yard dumpster is 8 feet wide x 22 feet long x 6 feet high. It holds 30 cubic yards of waste.
A 40-yard dumpster is 8 feet wide x 22 feet long x 8 feet high. It holds 40 cubic yards of waste.

*A cubic yard is 3 feet wide x 3 feet long x 3 feet wide. Weight will vary for a cubic yard. For example, a cubic yard of popcorn will weigh significantly less than a cubic yard of housing shingles.

Extra Options

Wheels are a popular rental choice. They are ideal if your debris container needs to move between or around job sites.
Locking devices can be part of your rental, too. They make sense when child safety or animal control is a concern. They also deter people who may be tempted to add their waste to your dumpster.
A roll-off dumpster can also be equipped with a rear swing door. This feature lets workers carry heavy items through the rear door at ground level, rather than having to lift that object high enough to toss it into the dumpster's open top.
