There's never a better time to have your own personal dumpster in Denver than when you're cleaning out your house, moving out, renovation or remodeling. It saves you the troubles having to work with only your weekly trash pickup to get rid of your junk. It saves you time hauling your trash to Denver's landfills and paying lots of money just to get rid of it, not to mention how pressing it'll be on your vehicle.

That's why a dumpster rental in Denver is perfect for your next project. The process is easy -

Pick up the phone and schedule a drop-off date with the number one dumpster rental company in Denver, Green City Waste & Recycling.

Have it dropped off right in your driveway (or on the street with a city permit) when it's convenient for you.

Fill it up with all the junk or remodeling debris you've been waiting to get rid of.

Call back and have it picked up punctually without any hassle.

Understanding the Size of Your Project

Now, what many don't understand is that the size of dumpsters are in cubic yards. Let's put it into perspective for you. A wheelbarrow filled with debris is roughly 1 cubic yard (1-yard length, width and height). Take a standard pickup truck and fill its cab with debris, that's about 3 cubic yards. Now look at the 4 dumpster rental sizes available; it's easier to imagine 10 wheelbarrows worth of junk sitting inside a 10 cubic-yard container rather than taking a measuring tape and guesstimating the size of your cleanup.

Hopefully the above helps you find the right sized dumpster for your project. Envisioning what a cubic yard looks like really helps. However, there are still dumpster rental guidelines you must follow. First, you must make sure your trash does not overflow over the edge of the dumpster. No dumpster rental company will pick up one of their dumpsters if its overflowing for safety reasons. This can turn into a fine and keep you from getting rid of all your junk at once. A bigger sized dumpster isn't the solution. Instead you can maximize space by stacking them along the back wall of the dumpster and following this pattern. Another item to keep in mind is weight. Volume does not equal weight. A dumpster filled with feathers is not going to weigh nearly as much as a dumpster filled with gravel. Look at what type of material you are throwing out, and choose the right dumpster size to avoid hefty overage fees.
