Read our simple guide to dumpster size comparison.
How To Know if You Need a Dumpster
Guidelines for bulk removal in each municipality vary, so check with your local waste management service before deciding. Be aware of any hazardous materials, including flammable liquids and electronics, because they often require special disposal methods.
If you are getting rid of large household items like furniture, mattresses, tires, or small sections of carpet, you can often place them at the curb for pickup alongside your regular trash and recycling. Check for any local restrictions on size and quantity.
Dumpsters are better suited for larger projects. If you are completing a small renovation project, a large-scale cleanout of a home or office, or a major landscaping project, rent a dumpster to make cleanup quick and convenient.

Different projects produce varying amounts of waste. Eagle Transfer Services provides options for every bulk pickup situation. We help you choose the right size dumpster to avoid overflowing trash and wasted space.
