Rent a Dumpster in New York Now!

Does my waste get recycled?

When you rent a temporary dumpster, your aim is to fill it up and possess the waste hauled away. But in case you want your waste recycled, you might need to really go about it in a somewhat different style. Waste in most temporary dumpsters isn't recycled since the containers are so big and hold so much stuff.

If you're interested in recycling any waste from your project, check into getting smaller containers. Many roll off container rental businesses in New York have a wide range of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are typically smaller than temporary dumpsters; they are the size of routine trash bins and smaller.

If you like to recycle, figure out whether the company you are working with uses single stream recycling (you usually do not have to sort the stuff) or in case you'll need to organize the recyclable stuff into distinct containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This can make a difference in the number of containers you need to rent.

Do I require a license to rent a dumpster in New York?

If that is your very first time renting a dumpster in New York, you may not know what's legally permissible in regards to the placement of the dumpster. If you plan to place the dumpster totally on your own property, you are not generally required to obtain a license.

If, however, your job requires you to set the dumpster on a public road or roadway, this will often mean you have to apply for a license. It is always advisable to consult your local city or county offices (perhaps the parking enforcement division) in case you have a question concerning the requirement for a license on a road.

Should you fail to get a license and discover out later that you were required to have one, you may probably face a fine from your local authorities. In most roll off container rental in New York cases, though, you should be just fine without a license as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.
