15 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster Rental in NJ

Frequently Asked Questions about NJ Dumpster Rentals

How do I know which dumpster size to choose?

Choosing the right dumpster size depends on a number of factors. These include the type, weight, and volume of debris you are getting rid of, along with the size of the project. A 15-yard dumpster is the best option for smaller jobs, such as bathroom remodels or attic cleanouts. Predicting your debris type – whether it is heavy, bulky, or standard waste – will also help direct your decision. 

Can my dumpster hold large and heavy items?

Dumpsters are made to handle a wide range of materials, including large and heavy items such as furniture, appliances, and construction debris. The weight capacity, however, is important. If you are disposing of heavy items like dirt or concrete, a 15-yard dumpster is ideal to avoid going over the weight limit. We can help guide you regarding the maximum load for your dumpster and help you avoid any overloading charges. 

Why are certain items prohibited in my dumpster?

Certain items are prohibited from dumpsters because of safety and environmental concerns. Items like hazardous batteries, electronics, and chemicals can release harmful substances into the environment if not properly handled. Other materials, such as tires and certain appliances, require particular disposal methods to prevent pollution and comply with landfill regulations. If you have questions about whether or not specific items are allowed in your Cali Carting dumpster, please let us know.

What should I know about dumpster safety?

Dumpster safety includes both the placement and proper use of the dumpster. You should never overfill the dumpster beyond its weight or volume limit, as this can lead to accidents or spillage during pickup. Put the dumpster in a stable location, away from power lines or slopes, to avoid tipping. Also, avoid putting any hazardous materials inside and make sure children and pets stay away from the area. Following safety procedures helps prevent accidents and ensures efficient waste disposal. 

How can I keep animals out of my dumpster? 

To keep animals out of your dumpster, cover the dumpster with a tarp or a secure lid. Wildlife may be attracted to food waste or other scents, so tightly sealing your waste and regularly emptying the dumpster will reduce this risk. Placing the dumpster away from wooded areas and disposing of any loose nearby debris can also prevent animals from being drawn to it.
