Dumpster Rental

[Nick Danger]

I need to rent a dumpster for some general yard cleanup, from what I can determine a 10 cu yd one would work fine. Anyone have any recommendations for a low cost 1 week or less rental?

These companies rent them at competitive prices. I would take a few minutes and call them all. I do business with each of them and prices do vary based on location and amount of work they have.

You may look into this as well, supposedly much cheaper:

The Bagster is pretty cool until it rains. Waste Management does have them locally and will recommend it for small jobs.

That's pretty neat. I had no idea that something like that existed. I'll have to keep that in mind if I have another job that needs to be done.

I called around, and the least expensive dumpster (9 cu yd) was $185 for 7-10 days, depending on the company. After doing some more research, I decided to hire the HOW Foundation and get some metal edging and landscaping work done at the same time. For 4 hours and hauling off a load of approximately 2 pickup trucks worth, it will cost less than $300. They charge $60 an hour for 4 men and a truck, plus a hauloff charge, which isn't too much. With what needs to be done, I also think it can be done by 4 men in less than 4 hours. The downside is they are booked out for a month, but I guess I'm not in too much of a hurry. Even if I rented the dumpster, I was still going to have to install the edging myself, and that's not fun.

This weekend is free at the landfill for city of Tulsa residents...

Anyone bought a bagster then had the city come pick it up rather than Waste Management?  I recall a friend saying they did this.  City bulky waste rate much cheaper than WM.

Thank you for posting that, it will come in handy when I get tired of making trips to the waste disposal facility.

Ya...saw that...not sure what exactly that means or if they are being sarcastic....

I saw a commercial for Lowes the other day for the same thing. You buy the big bag there. Fill it up, call the number provided with it, and it gets picked up and hauled away. I didn't see a price for it on the ad.

[JCnOwasso]

If I remember correctly, when the bagster was initially introduced a couple years back, it had an insane cost of like $99, and you still had to pay to have it picked up.  That did not last long and I soon saw it going for 29.99.
