When you’re working on a large DIY project, you might end up with a lot of waste that won’t fit in your regular garbage bins. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a temporary dumpster rental to throw out the waste and have it hauled away? Here’s how to rent a dumpster, from determining the size you need to securing permits and more.

1. Determine Amount of Waste
Before you rent a dumpster, you’ll want to make sure you know how much waste you’ll be tossing. If you haven’t started demolishing those old kitchen cabinets, estimate the amount of waste you’ll have afterward.

If you’ve already started ripping up the old floors in the bathroom, gather all the waste in one spot to see how much you have. Plus, you could save money and hassle if you have only a few heavier items by opting for junk removal versus a dumpster rental.

2. Choose Dumpster Size
