Businesses can produce many things! While a successful business creates a stream of income and happy clients, it's also responsible for producing a lot of waste. According to Title Max, a typical American produces 25 pounds of office papers yearly. This can lead to a lot of waste accumulating. That’s why dumpsters are usually the ultimate choice for commercial garbage pickups. Selecting the right-sized dumpster is critical to removing all your waste. We’ll review the main things to consider that'll help you determine what size you need.

Recycling Needs

Take the time to consider what materials you want to recycle. Many companies offer separate dumpsters or bins for recycling. If you're going to recycle, you’ll have significantly less waste in your dumpster, so you’ll need a smaller size. You should also think about how much of your waste is recyclable. If your company uses many paper and cardboard products, they can be recycled.

Company Size

The size of your company will play a significant role in determining what size dumpster you need. A company with two employees will go through much less waste than one with 50 employees. A waste management professional or customer service representative can give you important insights regarding what size dumpsters work for other customers in your situation.

Overall Budget

Many companies have a waste removal budget that will play a crucial role in the size of the dumpster you choose. Smaller dumpsters are known for costing less than larger dumpsters. You should also consider how often you can afford garbage pickups to ensure you stay within your budget. A quick phone call to a dumpster rental company can tell you the price of various dumpsters.

Storage Space

Most businesses only have a certain amount of space available on their property for dumpsters. This can be the determining factor in the size of the dumpster you wind up renting. Measure the space you have available, and then see what dumpsters are available that will fit in the space. If your dumpster is going to be in an alley behind the business, there should still be ample space for cars to drive through the alley to comply with local regulations.
