Choose the Right Dumpster Size for Your Junk Cleanout or Construction Project
When scheduling bulk removal service, picking the right-sized dumpster is crucial. Making the wrong choice leads to extra costs and logistical headaches.
Eagle Transfer Services offers junk removal service without the hassle and ensures you rent the right dumpster for your needs. Whether you are completing a DIY small bath renovation, cleaning out a basement or office, or building a commercial space, we have the right dumpster size for you.
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.
Maximize Efficiency on Bulk Pickup Projects
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.

Finding the right solution keeps your junk removal on schedule and within budget.
