Step 2: Choose the Right Size Dumpster

You don't want to pay extra money for a dumpster that's going to be too big. You also don't want to be stuck with a dumpster that is too small for all of your trash.

Step 3: Schedule Delivery and Pickup

When scheduling delivery, be sure any vehicles, materials, or other obstacles are not in the way. Choosing a flat, level surface, such as a driveway, to park the dumpster is usually a good choice.
