5 Ways to Save On Roll Off Dumpster Rental

Save on Roll Off Dumpster Rental - Express

Renting a roll off is a favorable and affordable method to get rid of massive amounts of junk, but do you want to pay more for the service? If you’re new to renting a roll off (even if you’re not), Express Roll Off Dumpsters of Brevard County, Florida can help ensure you get the best price possible when renting a trash dumpster. Read on and learn our five easy tips to save on your dumpster rental.

1. Rent from Local Carriers and Avoid Large Haulers and Waste Brokers

Express Roll Off is a local dumpster rental company in Melbourne, Florida. Although it seems like a simple solution to call the same company that picks up your residential trash to rent a dumpster, that’s not the most affordable idea. Generally speaking, the larger well-known chains, like Waste Management and Republic Services, are usually more expensive than local carriers, and their customer service is less personal. See our article about average dumpster rental prices in the area.

Another factor that increases your total rental cost is choosing a waste broker or a middleman. These companies often pose as local carriers, servicing a large area, but they hire out the hauling to a local dumpster company. Call Express Roll Off directly today to save on your trash dumpster rental at 321-253-1080.

This is how dumpster brokers operate:

• The broker takes your call or responds to your lead through a website request for a roll off.
• The broker then subs the job out to legitimate local carriers to perform the actual work.
• The broker agrees to pay the local dumpster service and arranges for the dumpster to be dropped off, increasing your rental by 50% or more.

Usually, you end up paying $150 - $200 more for the same rental by unknowingly using a broker than you would have if you rented directly from the local carrier. Be cautious of toll-free numbers and ads at the top and bottom of search engine pages, as these are often brokers.

2. Share the Costs with a Neighbor

Your neighbors probably have items they need to get rid of too. A simple visit and inquiry about when they can clean out their garage and share a roll off with you is usually all it takes to save half the cost of your rental. Share one roll-off, or team up with a neighbor or two and rent multiple dumpsters. If your neighbor has junk they would be interested in disposing of too, then consider going in on the rental price of the dumpster with them.

Community Garage Sales

If your neighborhood is having a community garage sale, approach a few neighbors to go in on the cost of the rental ahead of time. Approach your HOA and book a dumpster rental during or right after the neighborhood yard sale. The Homeowner’s Association could call Express 1-2 days ahead of time and ask that the roll off be dropped off in a central location, like the Clubhouse parking lot.

3. Keep the Dumpster Load Clean

A key factor in renting roll off dumpsters is the type of debris being disposed of. If you’re renting a dumpster for a home improvement project and you only plan on disposing of construction debris, you usually will not incur any additional dump fees (unless the project takes place at a commercial or government location, or is considered ‘new construction’). Mixed loads, however, can get very costly with dump fees. Here in Brevard County, the local landfills recycle all vegetative waste, therefore dumping even small amounts of landscape debris with your junk or construction load costs extra.

Separate Your Loads

Mixed loads cost $41/ton and can easily be avoided by bringing tree branches, sticks, leaves, mulch, sod, palm fronds, and other vegetative matter to the curb. Your local residential garbage service will collect these items with a grapple truck. If all you are disposing of is landscape material, you can place the entire clean-load into a dumpster.

4. Donate (or Sell) Unwanted Items First

Before you rent a roll off, consider having a yard sale or donating to local charities. Bulky items, such as furniture or rugs, will take up a lot of space in the dumpster. This is a great opportunity to make extra money to offset the cost of renting the roll off (or have a tax write-off).

Places to Sell, Trade, or Donate Items

• Letgo (app)
• Decluttr (app)
• Facebook Marketplace
• The Freecycle Network
• Craigslist
• OfferUp (app)
• Goodwill
• The Salvation Army
