Frequently Asked Questions
What size dumpster do I need for a home renovation?
Most home renovations require either a 20 or 30 yard dumpster depending on the project scope. A 20 yard works well for single-room remodels, while 30 yard dumpsters handle whole-home projects or multiple rooms. At P&P Dumpster Depot, we help Detroit homeowners choose the right size based on their specific renovation needs.Do dumpster rentals damage driveways or lawns?
Dumpsters with rubber wheels significantly reduce the risk of driveway damage compared to metal wheels. At P&P Dumpster Depot, our residential dumpsters are equipped with rubber wheels for easy maneuverability and surface protection. Placing plywood under the dumpster provides additional protection for delicate surfaces.How long can I keep a dumpster rental?
Rental periods vary based on your project timeline and service type. Commercial dumpster rentals offer flexible pickup schedules to match business or construction site needs. At P&P Dumpster Depot, we customize rental durations for both residential and commercial clients throughout the Detroit area.What's included in eviction cleanout services?
Professional eviction cleanout services handle removal of large furniture, personal belongings, and all debris left behind by former tenants. This comprehensive service saves landlords time and labor by managing the entire cleanout process. At P&P Dumpster Depot, we help Detroit property owners quickly prepare units for new tenants.Can I put yard waste in a regular dumpster?
Yard waste typically requires a dedicated dumpster rental designed specifically for organic materials. These dumpsters accept grass clippings, leaves, branches, and soil from landscaping projects. Separating yard waste from construction or household debris ensures proper disposal and often reduces costs.What's the difference between 20 and 30 yard dumpsters?
A 30 yard dumpster holds approximately 50% more waste than a 20 yard container, making it better suited for larger projects. The 20 yard works well for smaller renovations and cleanouts, while 30 yard dumpsters handle major construction, whole-home cleanouts, or commercial projects with substantial debris volume.How does construction debris removal work for demo projects?
Construction debris removal uses durable dumpsters specifically designed to handle heavy materials from demolition and construction sites. These containers manage concrete, wood, metal, drywall, and other building materials efficiently. At P&P Dumpster Depot, we provide waste management solutions tailored to Detroit-area construction projects of any size.When should landlords schedule eviction cleanout services?
Landlords should schedule eviction cleanouts immediately after legal possession is regained to minimize vacancy time. Quick removal of belongings and debris allows for faster property turnover and repairs. Professional cleanout services expedite the process so Detroit property owners can prepare units for new tenants within days.What items can't go in a dumpster rental?
Most dumpster rentals prohibit hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, batteries, tires, and appliances containing refrigerants. Electronics and certain appliances may also have restrictions depending on local Detroit regulations. Always verify acceptable materials with your rental provider before loading to avoid additional fees or disposal issues.Do commercial dumpsters have flexible pickup schedules?
Yes, commercial dumpster services offer customizable pickup schedules to match business operations and waste generation rates. This flexibility ensures containers don't overflow while avoiding unnecessary pickups. At P&P Dumpster Depot, we tailor commercial schedules for Detroit businesses and construction sites based on their specific volume and timing needs.
