Whether you’re renovating your home or landscaping your yard, when you have a project that requires debris removal, Prestige Carting has you covered! While renting a Dumpster is a relatively simple process, you do want to make sure that you set yourself up for success. Accidents, issues with delivery and pickup, and renting the wrong sized Dumpster are just a few of the issues that can happen. You can avoid mishaps by taking a few important factors into consideration before you make arrangements for a Dumpster rental.

Here's a look at four important factors to consider that will help make your Dumpster rental a complete success from start to finish.

The Size

One of the biggest issues people run into when it comes to Dumpster rental is choosing the wrong size; and usually, they choose a Dumpster that’s too small for their needs.

Dumpsters come in a variety of sizes and it can be difficult to determine the right size for a particular job. Obviously, the larger the Dumpster , the more debris it can hold. If you aren’t sure exactly how much space you need, it’s wise to err on the side of caution and go with a larger Dumpster . You might assume that there’s no way you’ll fill up a large Dumpster, but it’s surprising how fast it fills up. If you choose a Dumpster that’s too small, you could be charged overage fees, or you may end up having to rent another Dumpster .

To give you an idea of capacity, a 10-yard Dumpster can accommodate roughly the same amount as the flatbeds of three pickup trucks and is a good size for smaller projects, like clearing out a medium-sized basement or a small kitchen remodel. A 20-yard Dumpster can hold the equivalent of six pickup truck flatbeds and is ideal for larger projects, like carpet removal in a medium-sized house or a big landscaping project.

The Debris

You also want to consider the debris you’re going to be putting in the Dumpster. Don’t assume that you can dump anything and everything in it. Usually, some items are prohibited, such as toxic chemicals, paint, and flammables. Additionally, you may not be able to mix certain materials together; for example, you may not be permitted to mix landscape debris with construction materials.

Make sure you find out what can and can’t be placed in the Dumpster, and adhere to the Dumpster rental company’s policies. You don’t want to end up making a mistake and getting charged extra.

Time Frames

Find out about the time frames for drop off and pickup. You want to ensure that the company you choose can drop the Dumpster off and pick it up at a time that’s convenient for you.

If the company can’t drop off the Dumpster at a time that works for your schedule or charges extra fees if you end up needing it longer, you may want to look elsewhere. A reputable Dumpster rental service will work around your schedule to ensure the utmost convenience. After all, the purpose of renting a Dumpster is to make your project – whatever it may be – easier.

The Location

The location where you’re going to have the Dumpster dropped off is another important factor to consider. It should be in a spot that can accommodate the size of the Dumpster and is easily accessible. While a 10-yard Dumpster may be able to fit in your driveway, a 20-yard Dumpster may be too big for this spot. Additionally, while putting the Dumpster in your driveway might seem like the best idea, if it’s far away from the project site, you’ll end up having to lug bulky, heavy materials a far distance.

You might want to ask the Dumpster rental company for the dimensions of the Dumpster. That way you can find a spot that will fit the Dumpster before you schedule a drop off. Obstructions are something else you want to keep in mind. Things like trees, shrubs, sheds, and swing sets can get in the way, making drop off and pickup difficult. Make sure that the spot you choose is free of obstructions.

By considering these factors before you make arrangements for your Dumpster rental, you can ensure the process will go as smoothly as possible. For fast, convenient, and affordable Dumpster rental services on Nassau county, contact Prestige CartingFul at 631-938-7588 today!

Information About Jericho

Jericho is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Nassau County, New York, United States, on the North Shore of Long Island, approximately 29 miles (47 km) east of Midtown Manhattan. Its population was 13,567 as of the U.S. 2010 Census.

Located mainly in the Town of Oyster Bay with a small part in the Town of Hempstead, Jericho was part of the Robert Williams Plantation in 1648. The English families who settled in Jericho were, or soon became, Quakers, members of the Society of Friends. Many fled from persecution in England and in the New England Colonies. They sought a peaceful existence as farmers. The name of the area was changed in 1692 from Lusum to Jericho after the town in the Middle East near the Jordan River mentioned in the Bible as part of the Promised Land.

Elias Hicks married Jemima Seaman in 1771 and moved to her family’s farm in Jericho, where he soon became a noted preacher of Quaker doctrine. All the Quakers suffered during the British occupation of Long Island in the Revolutionary War. The practice was to quarter troops in homes of residents, who had to provide room and board for them. The Quakers continued to protest the entire concept of war itself. After the war, peace returned to Jericho, and the neat farms and businesses began to prosper. A Friends Meeting house was built in 1788 in Jericho that is still used in the 21st century. A Quaker school was built in 1793, the Charity Society of Jericho and Westbury in 1794, and slavery was abolished in 1817, with Hicks’ help.

Platt Rogers Spencer’s Log Seminary in Jericho, New York

A post office was established in 1802, a cider mill in the mid-19th century, the first public elementary school in 1905, known as the Cedar Swamp School. Improvements to infrastructure were made with the founding of the Jericho Water District in 1923. As the population increased, a new elementary school was built in 1953 (Robert Seaman School), and a Volunteer Fire Department established in 1938. The population kept increasing until the last elementary schools in Jericho were built, the George A. Jackson Elementary School in 1957, the now closed Robert Williams School in 1961 and the Cantiague School in 1963. When the Village of Muttontown was incorporated, the cider mill was within the village limits. Because most Gold Coast villages wanted to remain business free areas, many do not have their own post offices or ZIP Codes. Therefore, Jericho Post Office which serves this area of Muttontown is displayed as the official USPS mailing address and leads to the misconception that the cider mill is in Jericho.
