Dumpsters and roll-off containers are two different types of waste disposal units. Both can be used to dispose of waste, but they have their own uses that should be taken into consideration when choosing one for your project.
Let’s take a look at how they differ and the types of waste that can be disposed of in each.
How is a roll off container different than a trash dumpster?
The main difference between a container and a trash dumpster is that the roll off does as its name implies: it’s a container that can be rolled away. A trash dumpster, on the other hand, is usually smaller than a roll off and doesn’t have wheels. It also comes in square or round shapes (although most are square).
A roll off container can be used for both commercial projects as well as residential projects in which a contractor needs to get rid of any unwanted materials. At Rent-A-John, we offer roll off containers that are compatible with any size project – the smallest can even fit in your driveway!
Can I use a roll off for all kinds of waste?
Both dumpsters and roll offs are useful in getting rid of waste, but they each have their uses. A dumpster is used to store trash and other types of waste, while a roll off container is used for construction materials like wood, brick, concrete, and drywall.
A roll off dumpster can be used by both commercial and residential projects for storing unwanted material until it can be disposed of properly. Our roll offs are compatible with the following type of projects:
- General Junk Removal
- Home Renovation Waste Management
- Waste Material Removal
- Demolition Debris Removal
- Construction Site Clean-up
- Backyard Clean-out
- Roofing Debris Removal
- Landscaping Projects
- Scrap Metal & Iron Removal
Which is right for you?
If you have you have a construction or home renovation project coming up, a roll container is a great option for you. Projects of the sort create a lot of debris and waste that a dumpster simply cannot handle. However, traditional dumpsters are great if you’re planning a large event, like an outdoor festival. These dumpsters are excellent for disposing of the garbage created by a large crowd.
