Is it possible to rent a dumpster for only a day?

Question

I want to empty out my garage and my attic but I believe I can get the whole job done in one day....any suggestions on what I should do with all the cool stuff I don't need any more...seems a shame to throw some of it out.

Answer 1

dumpsters are priced by size not how long you keep it , when your done call and they will pick it up have a yard sale

Answer 2

craigs list, sell it or give it away, for free. yes you can have a dumpster dropped off am and picked up at the end of the day.

Answer 3

Why not freecycle.com it instead? Offer some of that good stuff up for free and people will be happy to haul it away for you.

As far as renting a dumpster, yes, it's possible to rent a dumpster just for one day.

Answer 4

You CAN rent a dumpster for one day, but the waste management companies generally charge by the tonnage and not by the time you have the dumpster.  That being said, they won't let you keep it forever.

Answer 5

If you have the time to go through some of the attic junk, see if any of it is something a goodwill or salvation army could use.  They readily accept donations.  However, unless you have a special situation, you'll have to drive the stuff to them yourself.

Answer 6

Yes I have one in my driveway right now (We've been doing the same cleaning). They usually give you 2 weeks to keep it and you can get rid of it at any time, even one day. The cost is the weight of the dumpster contents. It is costing me $600 per roll of container. The price is usually around $300 for a full container since I'm not throwing out super heavy items (like a bunch of concrete, mostly things like broken furniture or old toys). I got the largest one available for residences.

Give the good items to the salvation army for good karma, or a homeless shelter, have a mini yard sale, sell it on craigslist or ebay, or just see if any of your friends need it. Don't keep stuff just to keep it, someone out there could use it.

Answer 7

yes they can be rented for a day only
