How Can I Find a Local Dumpster Rental Company in Atlanta

If you have never rented a dumpster before or even if you have rented a dumpster before, you probably though, how do I find a dumpster rental near me?  It can be hard to find out what companies are local when it seems that everyone one you call is not located in your area.  In fact, most dumpster rental companies are not local or are not even a dumpster company, but a broker. Brokers simply take your order, find the cheapest person to do the job, mark it up, and then the 3rd party brings you the dumpster rental.

Separating Local Dumpster Companies From Brokers & National Companies

The big companies and brokers are the most expensive dumpster rentals.  The big companies have brand recognition,  love to go for after the big contractors, and are regional.  Sometimes the big guys will team up with broker to create a perfect mistake!

Brokers simply run adds and market their company as the source, but when they actually just find a local guy to do the work and add an significant amount of money to the cost!  They are a 3rd party company.

Using a local dumpster rental company will not only save you money, but you will also get a true idea of all the cost (no confusion), better service (less layers), faster service, and less fees (pre and post).  How do you find the dumpster rental "near me"?  For one visit their website and look for the following:  address, local phone number, see where their reviews are coming form, and look for social media links.  Social media can tell you a lot about where a company is located, too!  Another great place to look in google maps.  Maps will search by your IP address and list companies near you, but sometimes brokers will have listing in your area.  A local listing should look something like this.

Another indicator is look at the company name. If it is a blanket or general name; ie Budget Dumpster, Local Dumpster, Cheap Dumpster, Easy Dumpster, Quick Dumpster, etc it is strong indication that they are a broker.

Landfills and transfer stations are a good place to call and find out who the local guys are, too!

The simplest and quickest way to find out where the dumpster rental company is located is to ask them; this way you know for sure where they are.

Brokers and regional dumpster rental companies try to avoid letting you know that they are not local.  Brokers also try to avoid you figuring out that what they really are, a third party or subcontractor.  Remember, these guys are significantly more expensive, too!

Brokers are notorious for additional charges.  Read some of the great reviews:

"A few days later they charged me additional 44 dollar for who know what. Looking at the reviews, it seems to be quite common in their practice.
Lesson: if they claim to be the cheapest, they will charge you afterwards." Nataliya L.

"They give a very great competitive price and then a week later charges an additional $109.50." Pnoemi

"This is not even a dumpster company. This is a third party referral service .
They only get the business and then they call a local dumpster company." Mike R

Bagster vs Dumpster

Paper or plastic? Dogs or cats? The correct answers depend on what you need, want or prefer.

Similarly, dumpsters and the Bagster also have their own sets of pros and cons. So before you use one or the other, make sure to do your homework to see which one is best for you and your project.

Here are five things to consider when it comes to choosing between Waste Management's (WM) Bagster vs. dumpster rental from a local provider like Bin There Dump That.

Container Size And Materials Accepted

The main determining factor for you might be what you can fit in the dumpster or Bagster.

Dumpsters come in a variety of sizes from 4- to 40-yard bins and hold both small and large items, including boxes, furniture, landscape and home renovation materials, appliances, clothes, trash and clutter. You can talk with the dumpster operator to see which size they would recommend for your project.

The Bagster is designed to handle smaller jobs like garage, attic or yard clean outs and is 2 1/2 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8 feet long. It has a 3-cubic-yard capacity and can hold up to 3,300 pounds of debris or waste. The Bagster is available in one size.

They both do not accept hazardous materials.

Durability

While both can help you clear your home of clutter and unwanted items, they have different levels of durability.

The Bagster is a tarp-like material with handles. When you put items in the bag, you’ll need to start filling it at the edges to help the bag keep its rectangular shape. You should also lay items down flat and not pile debris above the edges.

A dumpster is heavy-duty, allowing you to throw or carry items into the bin. So there’s no need to lay items flat, as the dumpster is a hard metal and won’t lose its shape.

Placement

You can put dumpsters and the Bagster on your driveway or yard (with some exceptions). If you want to put them on the street, you’ll need to check with the city and ask about local regulations.

You can have the dumpster operator leave the rental in a convenient location on your property. Just avoid putting it on sloped surfaces, a neighbor’s yard or soft ground. The operator will put boards under the bin to keep it from damaging your yard or driveway.

Since the Bagster is picked up by a crane on the WM truck, there are some placement requirements. The bag must be 5 feet away from structures or vehicles, have at least 18 feet of vertical clearance and be clear of overhead wires, trees or structures. You should also avoid putting it on sloped surfaces.

Bottom Line

You need to know what your project will require — from the amount of material you’ll have to how quickly you want it picked up — before deciding between the Bagster vs. dumpster rental.

If you don’t have much to throw out and you plan to work on the project for an extended or an unknown amount of time, the Bagster might be the best choice since the price is the same no matter how long you keep it (you pay for the Bagster and then for its pickup).

On the other hand, if you have a lot of items to dispose of and want a set pickup date, you’ll need a dumpster to hold all of the materials. You also won’t have to worry about not being able to fit all of your items in the bin if you end up with more than first expected.
