Can You Rent a Dumpster for Just 1 Day?

At R&L Dumpsters, we often receive inquiries about single-day dumpster rentals. From contractors looking to complete projects ASAP, to homeowners wanting to save some money, it's natural to wonder if you can rent a dumpster for just 24 hours.  This answers differs from each dumpster rental company, but here at R&L Dumpster, yes it's possible to rent a dumpster for a single day.

We understand that some projects require a quick turnaround, and we're here to accommodate your needs. However, it's important to note that our pricing structure remains the same whether you need the dumpster for one day or our standard seven-day rental period.

Why doesn't a one-day rental cost less?

This is a common question, and it's understandable to think that a shorter rental period would result in a lower price. However, the cost of dumpster rental is primarily determined by factors such as:

  • Fuel costs for delivery and pickup
  • Landfill fees
  • The cost of the dumpster rental itself

These costs remain constant regardless of the rental duration. At R&L Dumpsters, we strive to provide transparent pricing that reflects the true cost of our services.

Are there companies that offer discounts for single-day rentals?

It's not uncommon to find a new business who will offer discounts on single day rentals. Often, these companies offer smaller sized dump trailers rather than roll-off dumpsters. Unlike the 20, 30, and 40 yard roll-off dumpsters that we offer, dump trailers and the truck hauling them aren't able to move heavy weight. So if you are looking for a smaller sized dumpsters for light waste, it might be worth it to look around to save a few dollars.

Here at R&L, our dumpsters are are ideal for medium and heavy duty projects, and we pride ourselves in offering the best value for the money, as our heavy duty trucks are able to haul 8 tons of waste, and we include it in the price.

What if I need to clean up a job site quickly?

We understand that time is money, especially on construction sites. That's why we offers flexible scheduling for both delivery and pickup. If you need a dumpster for a quick job site cleanup, we can accommodate your request for a single-day rental. Just keep in mind that the pricing will be the same as our standard rental period.
