What You Should Know About Dumpster Rental in Sarasota
Sometimes you need to get rid of large amounts of trash or junk. In fact, no matter where you live, if you are
looking to rid yourself of a large amount of debris from a project or downsizing and getting rid of excess
“stuff” you need an efficient way to do it. Sarasota is no different.
Throwing out our trash is something that many of us usually take for granted. Especially if we live in an area
with municipal trash service. However, there are times when you can’t just throw your unwanted items in the
trash bin.
It could be because your items are too big, or there’s way too much junk or debris. That’s when you need a
different way to get rid of it all easily and inexpensively. Now, you could do it yourself, but you probably
will need a truck and be able to load and unload the debris or junk. But that doesn’t work for everyone.
You could hire a full-service junk hauling firm, but
that usually works best if you need it all picked up at once. However, for some projects, a better waste removal
solution is renting a dumpster in Sarasota for your junk.
Know When to Rent a Dumpster
Keep in mind that renting a
dumpster isn’t your only choice for getting rid of your unwanted material. But there are typically only
two other ways to haul your junk without renting a dumpster: you can do it yourself or hire a full-service junk
removal company.
But doing it yourself can be hard work, time consuming, and even a bit risky. In addition, you may have to load,
drive, unload, several times to get it all done. Also, you must deal with the landfill or facility dumping fees
and may possibly need to rent a truck (and buy gas!)
Given all that, hiring a full-service junk-removal company is a far more convenient option, and you probably
won’t have to move anything yourself. While this may be the easier option, it can also be a bit expensive to pay
an entire crew of laborers to pick up your junk and take it away for disposal, depending on the firm you choose.
When to Consider Dumpster Rental
A common question about dumpster rental Sarasota residents often have is, “When do I actually need one?”
Many homeowners think dumpster rentals are only necessary if the volume of debris they have is overwhelming. But
when you consider the options, especially the time and effort needed to do it yourself, a rented dumpster can be
cost-effective for even smaller amounts of junk.
Dumpster Rental or Junk Removal
Going with a full-service junk removal company may be a better option if all your junk is in one place and it’s
ready to be picked up. Also, it can be great if you have more than 12 cubic yards of debris to be picked up.
On the other hand, rental
dumpsters are perfect for waste from landscaping projects, home remodels, or other large-scale clean
ups. A dumpster rental is a great
option if you’ll be generating debris over time and you expect to have up to 12 cubic yards of waste.
In fact, a rented dumpster is often the best way to get rid of large amounts of waste. One benefit is that you
don’t need to make multiple trips to a waste management facility. Instead you can fill the dumpster gradually as
you work through your project. And once you’re done, you simply have the provider pick up the filled dumpster.
What You Need to Know When Renting a Dumpster in Sarasota
In Sarasota, dumpster rental usually follows the same
process:
- Call a dumpster rental company

- Have it collected
Rental Dumpster FAQs
What’s Not Allowed in a Rental Dumpster?
Dumpsters rented in Sarasota are subject to state and city regulations that prohibit specific
materials. Make sure that the materials you need to dispose of are suitable for a dumpster.
The following items are some of the restricted or banned waste items that considered hazardous household waste in
the state of Florida:
- Paints and stains
- Pesticides, herbicides and poisons
- Pool and spa chemicals
- Automotive fluids
- Household cleaners
- Batteries
- Aerosol spray products
- Propane tanks
- Fluorescent lamps and ballasts
Items such as ammunition, explosive and highly flammable materials are prohibited entirely. The best thing to do
if you’re unsure about what to place in a rented dumpster is to contact an experienced junk removal company.
Where Can You Place a Rental Dumpster?
While a rental dumpster can be perfect for your waste disposal project, there
are logistical considerations involved. It will usually be placed on your property, since city streets and
other public right of way areas may require permits. You should check with your local government about their
specific regulations.
How Long Can You Rent a Dumpster?
For dumpster rental, companies in Sarasota
usually charge for the length of time that you want the container so it’s critical that you check beforehand.
Other companies may charge you based on the amount of space you use within the dumpster and for a set period.
These can be the most cost-effective for Sarasota residents.
What Size are Rental Dumpsters?
Most dumpsters come in several standard sizes. Most people are familiar with the large 40 cubic yard receptacles.
Unless you have a large commercial job,
you probably won’t need one that large. Fortunately, a 12-yard dumpster from Junk King can easily hold the
junk from most cleaning projects.
What is the Environmental Impact?
Most junk, trash and debris still ends up in local landfills and these are quickly reaching capacity in Sarasota
County and nearby areas. However, dumpster rentals from eco-friendly
companies can help keep much of your debris out of the landfills.
If you’re concerned about being environmentally friendly, go with a junk removal service like Junk King that
focuses on salvaging and recycling junk.
Renting a Dumpster
Here are some terms that are helpful to know when renting a dumpster:
- Load size: This is simply the volume of your actual load of debris in a dumpster. The Junk
King dumpster holds up to 12 cubic yards of junk loaded by hand and you are only charged for how many cubic
yards you fill.
- Bedload: This is a measurement of loose debris such as dirt, rocks, tiles, shingles,
bricks, or chunks of broken concrete. For example, a dumpster that is a third full (or 4 cubic yards) is
equivalent to a large truck bedload.
- Daily rates: At Junk King, our standard pricing includes up to 3 days of rental. And if you
need it longer a simple fee of $20 per day will be added.
When renting a dumpster, you should
think about their fee structure. Some charge by the day, others by the weight when it’s picked up, and others by
the amount of space that you use. Most people find the last option to be the most cost-effective as it allows
them to save money by loading their dumpster only as they need to within a set time frame.
Understanding Rental Costs in Sarasota
For dumpster rental, Sarasota prices depend on your location within or near Sarasota, the size of dumpster you
rent, how long you rent it for, and the company you rent it from. And you may need to buy permits to use a
dumpster on your street.
Junk King in Sarasota only charges you for the space you actually use! Other dumpster rental companies start with
a flat fee and then add in other costs. Even with a larger project, the Junk King dumpster can save
you money.
The dumpster, while smaller than standard dumpsters, holds up to 12 cubic yards and can work for everything from
major cleaning projects to minor home renovations. And with a convenient 8 by 12 base, it is easily accessible.

Residential Dumpster Rental Tips
Be Organized
Plan ahead and take time to break down boxes or take apart bulky or unwieldy items to minimize space taken up in
the dumpster. Be sure to separate the stuff you want to get rid of from the items you want to keep. Being organized with your clean up before
the dumpster arrives will help you avoid having to keep it for an extra day or two.
Save Money
There are ways to save money on your
dumpster rental before you book it. Choose a company with the right fee structure, but also avoid dumping
materials that will result in extra fees and have an accessible area so that it can also be picked up easily and
on time.
Make it Convenient
Make sure the dumpster is put in an easy-to-reach location. This way it can be dropped off and picked up quickly
and easily. Also, consider a dumpster from Junk King. These fit easily in
driveways without blocking garage access, damaging your driveway, or causing pick-up problems.
