How do I find dumpster rental near me?

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

Difference between a front load dumpster & roll off dumpster rental?

A dumpster is a dumpster, right?  No, there are 2 basic types of dumpsters that can be rented.  A Roll off dumpster and front load dumpster.  A roll off dumpster is generally what you see at a construction site, residential location, or being used by someone moving.  A front load dumpster is generally what you see behind a business, shopping center, restaurant, or commercial facility.

Roll off dumpsters are commonly referred to as a open top dumpster, roll-off dumpster, construction dumpster, rental dumpster, bin, or simply a dumpster. These are general on a short term rental and is only needed 1 or couple of times. All roll off type dumpsters have an open top and usually one door.  The design of these dumpsters will vary, but most are longer than taller and hauled on a large CDL truck.  The two most common types of lifts that roll off dumpsters use are either a hook lift or a winch cable. Hook style lifts have become more common and have less issues.

Front loading dumpster are usually long terms rentals and are tied with a contract.  These are the type of dumpsters you would see behind a shopping center, restaurant, or business complex. Most governments require them if food waste is going to be disposed off, because they are seal at the base and do not let water out; unlike the roll off dumpster.  Also, governments require front loading dumpster to have lid to prevent rain from filling them and to keep animals out of food waste. The design is taller to take up less room, usually have 1 or 2 sliding doors to load trash, lids, and seal water tight around the base.  Unlike roll off dumpsters, front load dumpster are not hauled away every time they are emptied. A large compactor truck with a forklift style lift.  Then they pick up it up and tip it upside down into the back of the truck.  It is very similar to how weekly trash pick up is done.

Lets review the differences of the two dumpster types.

Front load dumpster vs roll off dumpster rental

Roll Off Dumpster	Front Load Dumpster
Commonly referred to as: roll-off dumpster, open top dumpster, construction dumpster, dump bin, or dumpster	Commonly referred to as: front load dumpster or dumpster
Short to medium term rental	Long term & usually comes w/ a contract
Used for construction, house clean out, remodeling, or moving	Used in commercial settings. Apartment complexes, business, restaurants, or shopping centers
Not a watertight seal around bottom	Watertight at bottom
Brought to landfill or transfer station to empty	Is emptied into a truck onsite.
No lids	Lids installed
Has walkin capabilities	Can not walkin
Long and short	Tall and narrow

So to make it simple. If you are doing a construction job, remodel, moving, cleaning out, or building you need a roll off dumpster.  If you need a dumpster for your business you need a front load dumpster.  Remember if you need a roll off rental dumpster you can all check us out on the web at www.atlantadumpsterrentals.net or https://www.mariettadumpsterrental.net.

How do I get rid of old vehicle tires?

Your weekly trash service will not take tires and most disposal facilities don't accept them. This makes them one of the hardest items to dispose of and why the are constantly littered along the road and vacant lots.  

Scrap tires are a major health concern.  Trapped water is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and can increase their reproduction rate up to 100%!  Also, decomposing tires release hazardous chemicals and gases. If they burn they release toxic chemicals and gases.

I remember as a teen in 1995 a tire fire about 30 miles from my house.  We could see the thick black smoke and debris falling from the sky for a week.  Here is a video of the fire: FIRE. This burned for a about a week above ground  and months below ground.  It is estimated to have burned up to 6 million tires!  EPA decided to let the tires burn vs putting out the fire because of the chemicals the tires release while burn would run in the water supplies.

Although, they seem difficult to dispose of, they are not.  Just about every store (Walmart, Firestone, NTB, etc) that install tires will accept used tires for a fee and there is probably a limit.  Some transfer stations or landfill might accept them, but they cannot place them in the ground because it is illegal.  Tires must be recycled in the state of Georgia and you have to store them inside.

Recycled tire are used for many different things: mulch, playground bedding, roads, roofing, fuel, recapped & reused, artificial reefs, clothing, etc

Another option is to re-purpose the tires.  Simply google used tire uses and you can stay busy all day.  Some of my favorite are:

• Shooting barrier or shooting house.  The military love building house out of tires to train for urban operations. *note the tires must be filled with dirt.

• Potato garden.  Simply start with one tire and as plant grows add another tire  on top with soil.  Continue this till it is time to harvest. Then simply unstack them and grab your potatoes. If you have ever had to dig up potatoes you will know why this is a great idea

• Then there is everyone's favorite.  The tire swing.  No  explanation needed.

Did you know at every tire you buy has a tax on it for scrap tire abatement?

We, Bin There Dump That Atlanta, can haul and dispose of tires in certain locations. Just call  us find out if we can help you.

How to Dispose of a used Mattress?

Ever been driving down the road and seen the dirty nasty mattress lying on the side? Why do people do this?  Probably because they are hard to dispose of, costly, no residential trash company will touch them, few dumpster companies will haul them, and just about every landfill or transfer station will not accept them!  Some states even have laws preventing them from ending up in landfills.

We have asked several locations why this is and we never get the same answer.  The two most common are the springs get caught in the tracks of the equipment and they take up too much space (do not compact).

With up to 20 million mattresses and box springs disposed of each year there is a need to deter them from landfills and to recycle them.  Each mattress/box spring has over 80% of recyclable materials.  These are:

• Fabric- Is sometimes already made of recycled material and can be recycled again for mattress or other industries (clothing, insulation).
• Springs and metal- melted and recycled for numerous applications.
• Foam- Is chopped up and used in padding (floor, sound, etc)
• Wood- Is recycled in pulp for paper, fuel, mulch, boxes, and much much more.

There is not much that can’t be recycled.

Now you are asking how do I get rid of this thing!  Well, there are a couple of options:

• The company you bought your new mattress through will sometimes dispose of your old one for free or a small fee.
• Dispose of it yourself.  Call your local transfer station or landfill to see if they accept them or if they recycle them.  Cost should run anywhere from $5 to $20 per mattress/box spring.
• Sell it on craigslist, letgo, a Facebook sale site, or any other outlet.
• Donate it.  This probably will take a lot  of time, but call around to organizations who might have a need for  something like this.  Some ideas:  Goodwill, Salvation Army, halfway houses, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and  thrift/consignment  stores.  Some states have laws against resale of used mattress.
• Some areas have companies that deal only will mattress recycling. Try Googling mattress recycle.
• A majority of junk removal companies will remove and dispose of it (or any other junk).  The pros are you don't have to do much physical labor, but the con is that it will cost you approximately $100 to dispose off.
• Rent a dumpster.  If you have a bunch of other debris to dispose of this would be the economical way, but make sure you check first with the company to see if they will take them and if so is there any additional charge.

As far as we know Bin There Dump That Dumpsters of Atlanta is the only dumpster company in metro Atlanta that will accept your mattress or box spring; depending on your location.  Currently we only charge $15 each with a dumpster rental (subject to change). We can be reached by phone @ 404-692-2838, email Atl@BinThereDumpThat.com or check us out on the web www.AtlantaDumpsterRentals.net.

How to dispose of paint?

How to dispose of paint?

A common question that is ask when someone is renting a dumpster is how to dispose of paint.  Well, it is fairly easy and there is couple of ways of doing it.

The most common way is to simply mix it with cement and let it dry.  To do this you will need a bucket, bagged cement, a bucket, and a sturdy stir stick. Simply mix the cement and paint in the buck and let dry.  It is that simple! We prefer that prior to loading it into one of our bins that a lid be placed on it.  

Another way is to simply let it dry out.  This will be difficult to do if it is left in the can, but you can spread it out on a box (everyone has a million boxes thanks to Amazon), plywood, or even a section of carpet.  

The best way and most environmentally friendly way is to recycle it.  The down fall is it can get pricey and is hard to find locations that  accept paint.  If you are in the Atlanta area here is a link to a company that does strictly paint recycling: Atlanta Paint Disposal. 

Charities will sometimes accept paint for them to use, but good luck finding one and getting the timing right!

If you rent a dumpster from us, Bin There Dump That Dumpsters Atlanta,  you are allowed to dispose of paint using the cement or drying method.  We can't haul any wet paint.  We can reached at 404-692-2838, Atl@bintheredumpthat.com, or online www.AtlantaDumpsterRentals.net.

Disposing of Asbestos Material

Removal of asbestos can be enough of a headache with all the worry of exposure, labor of removal, and regulations.  The final part of the process can be the most expensive- disposal!

Because of the regulations on asbestos it can only be disposed of at certain locations.  This could require the hauler to travel further than normal and does add to the cost.  Furthermore, disposal fees for asbestos is based on cubic yardage of the container (not the amount in the dumpster), landfills have "profile" fees, and additional fees/taxes!  Also, asbestos needs to a minimum of bagged twice, wet, and determined to friable or non-friable.

In Georgia if you are doing an abatement job at your personal residence you do not need to file any paper work with the state; there still needs to be a manifest forms (Click  Here) with and in each load. 

The most important part of disposal is to know that you (the homeowner) are responsible for the asbestos forever; even after it is buried!!  

It is highly recommended that you leave the any hazardous material abatement to a professional and allow them to hold the liability.

If you have all your ducks in a row and are looking to dispose of asbestos from your personal residence you can call us at 404-692-2838.  

*By no means are we experts in the field of asbestos, the information provided here is not to used as professional advice and/or current regulations! It is highly recommended that you consult with an certified asbestos contractor, local government(s), and federal government.

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.

Dumpster Placement

Dumpster Placement

When considering where to have your dumpster placed there are some items to think of access to placement location, placement surface, and ease of loading.

How will the dumpster get to location where you want it?  For most people this is simple; on the driveway to one side.  There are always some things to consider before ordering  your dumpster: height clearance (low wires), turn radius of delivery vehicle, and width (most common if going through a fence). In order for Bin There Dump That Dumpsters of Atlanta/Marietta to access a drop location we need a min of 10’ height and 9’ width clearance; those requirements are lower than any of our competitors.

When it comes to placement there are two main factors: slope/angle and surrounding hazards.  Slope/angle has never been an issue for our dumpster system; the only thing we need to able to do is be parallel with the slope.  A bin cannot be place at an angle or perpendicular to the slope. Surrounding hazards need a clearance of 5’ on the door end and 3’ on the sides. This ensures that we have a enough room to safely deliver and pick up all dumpsters.

With Bin There Dump That Dumpsters the surface where the dumpster is being placed is an non issue.  Whether it is being placed on a blacktop or concrete driveway we protect the surface 100% with custom boards (with stops) for the roll and rails; the bin never touches the surface.  When a dumpster is placed on a solid surface there is a high probably of damage from the roller and rails during the dropping and pickup of the dumpster.  Also, if the rollers and rails are in contact with the surface there is a good chance of rust stains.  If you are going to have it placed grass, gravel, or other natural surface the trucks can cause minimal surface displacement to severe damage.  Dumpster trucks can weigh 6 tons to 10 tons without any load!  Yet again our truck are the lightest in the Atlanta/Marietta market and will cause the least amount of damage.  Another thing to think about is the weather;  if it has rained and ground is soft this increase the probability of severe damage.

Loading the dumpster is extremely important.  You want to make sure that you can open both (or at least one) doors and have a straight clear access to the loading end.  Being able to open the door makes loading easier and prevents from having to lift items over the rim. Also, being able to walk into the bin makes it much easier to organize the loading and maximizes use of all available space.

If you are in Atlanta, Roswell, Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, Powder Springs, Austell, Mableton, Dallas, Hiram, Lithia Springs, or Douglasville we access where no one else can. Furthermore, we are the only company to provide driveway protection and double doors for easy walk in loading.  If you have any question about a dumpster rental we can be reached at 404-692-2838.
