Some General Information On Roll Off Dumpster Rental Tobyhanna

By Joanna Walsh


Transporting a massive amount of material or goods requires specialized transport, and usually people do not have access to such equipment or vehicles. They may be moving to another home, or preparing for a special occasion, or simply getting rid of a large amount of trash. All of these situations necessitate special transportation, but only for a few days at a time, sometimes even for a single journey in one direction. This is where roll off dumpster rental Tobyhanna, in Long Pong PA, becomes useful.

A roll off dumpster is so named because it uses small wheels to roll on to or off the back of the truck horse that moves it. It is not, therefore, a truck trailer, with its own road wheels. It thus resembles a very large metal tub which can be shifted on to the truck, or removed and left in isolation, as may be required.

This concept has an obvious advantage. The dumpster can be left somewhere while it is being loaded, making the truck horse available for other trips. Where loading is going to take days or even weeks, this makes sense and can reduce costs. Also, if the location is secure, the dumpster can even be used to store the material or goods for a temporary period.

This becomes particularly important where the dumpster is being used for its most usual purpose - the disposal of trash. It can be parked somewhere and used as a gigantic rubbish bin until it is full, at which time the rental company can be contacted to remove it, and return it empty.

Dumpsters are manufactured in various size options. At 40 feet, the largest ones match the size of freight containers, while the smallest are a mere 15 feet. This is important because there is no obligation to use them exclusively to transport trash. Any material that can be transported without being sealed, or refrigerated, can potentially be transported in a dumpster. The only question is as to whether the material can fit into it. For loose items, it is necessary to calculate the collective volume, and then try to reconcile that figure with the capacity of the dumpster, while for larger, more bulky items, the interior dimensions are more important. It helps to contact the rental agency and ask them what the possible options are, because they probably have experience in the transportation of such items and can advise accordingly.

Another factor in rental is time. People want to hire the dumpster for the shortest time possible. This matters, since some rental agreements involve a rate per day or per month. Rental companies also sometimes charge a fee according to the weight of the load, so the customer needs to determine, more or less, what their load is going to weigh.

And, of course, in transporting bulk freight, one also has to determine whether the local authorities are going to charge a tariff or fee. Some municipalities do this, in the form of taxes, so the customer should ascertain what they are going to pay, or ask the rental company if they are not sure.

A dumpster offers a simple yet effective transport solution for basic waste or material that does not require quarantine (sealing) or refrigeration. They also offer a responsible option in controlling and removing waste from the immediate environment.
