What are Commercial Dumpster Rentals?

Similar to residential dumpster rentals, commercial dumpster rentals allow the renter to use an extra dumpster for a certain amount of time. Commercial dumpster rentals are aimed at commercial businesses that may need them for specific projects or events. These types of rentals may result in larger dumpsters being rented out, which may lead to higher prices for the rental.

Most rental dumpsters are known as “temporary roll-off dumpsters." These dumpster rentals have a set of rollers underneath, which can be placed on boards or planks to protect against hitting a part of commercial property. They also have doors that allow easy access and simplify the process of using the dumpster. The doors will enable you to drag or lift heavy objects into them without too much strain. These dumpsters are perfect for businesses that don't have time for all the hassle.
