How to Rent a Dumpster the Right Way: Tips for Orange County, California Residents and Contractors
Renting a dumpster might seem straightforward, but doing it properly can save you time, money, and headaches—especially in a busy place like Orange County, California. Whether you’re a homeowner cleaning out your garage or a contractor managing a construction site, knowing the basics of proper dumpster rental helps keep your project on track.
At CT Equipment & Services, we specialize in making dumpster rentals simple, affordable, and hassle-free throughout Orange County, California. Here’s what you need to know to rent a dumpster the right way.
1. Choose the Right Dumpster Size
Dumpsters come in various sizes. Choosing the right one ensures you don’t overpay for unused space or get stuck with a dumpster that’s too small.
-
15-yard dumpsters work well for moderate cleanouts or small renovations
-
20-yard dumpsters are great for larger projects like home demolitions or commercial cleanups
At CT Services, we offer both sizes and can help you decide what fits your project best.
