Small and large Dumpsters in Long Island, NY are available for a variety of projects. When someone needs to get rid of a lot of junk or is planning a demolition project, the bigger sizes and roll-off dumpsters are best. These people will want to talk with a company representative to find out which container is most suitable for their project.
Choosing the Right Size
The containers are available in a broad range of sizes. Many customers choose a smaller size than they should because they’re trying to save money. They also may not realize just how much debris they want to pack into the dumpster. It generally costs less to order one bigger container in the first place than to rent an additional one later.
Roll-Off Dumpsters
Roll-off dumpsters are often chosen for projects that will take several days or weeks, or for construction endeavors. A roll-off dumpster differs from the standard version in some features other than size. It does not have a lid, for example. If someone wants to keep the rain out of the container, a tarp will suffice. Many of these containers have a side door so people can put heavier objects in without having to do so from above. They are rectangular and never square.
Length, Width, and Height
In general, roll-off Dumpsters in Long Island, NY are no longer than 22 ft., but the width may vary from 4-1/2 to 8 ft. The height varies as well. Customers have the option of asking the company to haul away a full container and bring another one, as some projects require more than one load. Demolition projects commonly require a second load, and even clearing out an estate that has a lot of junk could require more than one roll-off dumpster.
Placement
When ordering a rental dumpster from a company like V. Garofalo Carting Inc., it’s also imperative to know that the container will fit in the available space. Usually, these dumpsters are placed in driveways, but they might be allowed curbside for a short time. Smaller dumpsters can be placed on yards, but a roll-off container with heavy materials inside is likely to sink into the ground and be difficult to remove.
