Project Scope and Waste Volume
Evaluate the scale and nature of your project. Consider the type of waste you’ll generate. The volume of waste you’ll generate will provide a baseline for selecting the right dumpster size.
What are the San Francisco Dumpster Options
Dumpster sizes vary depending on the rental company. At 7 Day Box, you have a choice of six sizes starting at 5 cubic yards all the way to 40 cubic yards. Each size has its capacity limits, and understanding their dimensions will help you to choose the right fit for your project.
Five and 10-yard dumpsters - Ideal for small-scale projects, such as attic or garage cleanouts, or disposing of yard waste.
Fifteen and 20-yard dumpster - Suitable for medium-sized projects, like kitchen or bathroom renovations, or removing flooring or roofing materials.
30-yard dumpster - Recommended for larger projects, such as whole-house cleanouts, commercial construction, or extensive landscaping.
40-yard dumpster - Reserved for substantial projects, like major construction or demolition projects, large-scale renovations, or commercial building cleanouts.
Consider Accessibility and Space Limitations
In San Francisco, space can be a constraint due to limited property sizes and strict parking regulations. Consider the availability of space and any accessibility issues that may arise. If you have limited space, you could opt for a smaller dumpster or explore alternatives, such as street permits or placement on a nearby lot.
Local Regulations and Permit Requirements
Check the local regulations and permit requirements for San Francisco dumpster placement. Depending on the project location and duration, you may need to obtain permits from the city. Familiarize yourself with the rules and ensure compliance to avoid penalties or delays.
Cost Considerations
A bigger dumpster will cost more. It may be tempting to choose the smallest dumpster to save costs, but you must ensure that the San Francisco rental dumpster that you choose can accommodate your waste volume. Overfilling a dumpster may result in additional fees or you may have to order an extra dumpster.
Order an appropriate San Francisco dumpster before you start your next project and keep the area safe and clear of debris.
