Dumpster Rentals

What To Know About Renting A Dumpster

A roll-off dumpster is an open-top container delivered to your location for a set rental period. Roll-offs are ideal for large cleanouts, commercial construction projects, and demolition work. Front-load dumpster service is an ongoing, scheduled pickup solution for businesses that need regular pickups. For these clients, they get a permanently placed dumpster that our trucks empty on a routine basis. 121 Disposal Company offers both roll-offs and front-load dumpster rentals to fit your project size and frequency needs.

Yes, 121 Disposal Company offers short-term roll-off dumpster rentals, specifically for residential cleanouts, renovations, roofing projects, and demolition projects. We offer rentals for up to 2 weeks for home cleanouts and longer periods of time for construction or contractor work. Contact us today and we’ll help you choose the right size and rental period for your job.

The dumpster size you need will depend on your project. A 10-yard roll-off is usually perfect for small cleanouts or minor bathroom/kitchen renovations, while a 20-yard container works well for larger home cleanouts, flooring removal, or mid-size remodels/renovations. A 30-yard or larger roll-off is best for major construction, demolition, or roofing projects. 121 Disposal Co. offers a range of roll-off dumpster sizes and can help you choose the right one to rent. Call us if you need more help deciding which size roll-off dumpster you need, or request a quote online.

Depending on your project, we offer short-term to longer-term rentals, offering up to 2 weeks for home cleanouts and longer periods for construction projects or contractor work.

The amount of space you’ll need depends on the size dumpster you’re renting. The largest roll-off dumpster sizes we offer are 40 yards in length, and our smallest front-load dumpsters are 4 yards in length. But regardless of what size dumpster you’re having delivered or picked up, it’s good to have more than adequate space in an area that is easily accessible by our delivery trucks.

Commercial Waste & Recycling

What To Know About Commercial Waste, Compactors, and Recycling Services

A commercial waste compactor is a permanent on-site unit that compresses your business’s trash. This reduces how often the trash needs to be emptied and lowers your disposal costs. 121 Disposal Co. provides compactor installation, servicing, and pickup for businesses across Alabama and Georgia. Commercial compactors are a great fit for high-volume operations such as restaurants, retailers, manufacturers, and office buildings. Call us to discuss whether a compactor makes sense for your business.

Our services are available Monday through Saturday to fit your needs, and we will work with you to schedule waste pickups whenever it is most convenient and necessary for your business.

Front-load dumpsters will be adequate for most small businesses that don’t produce large amounts of waste. Compactors can be a great option for larger businesses that find their waste areas frequently overflowing and an increased need for pickups. Compactors significantly reduce the volume of waste, allowing you to make the most of your available space. Contact us today to find out if a 121 Disposal Compactor can help your business’s waste management needs.

Generally, most paper, cardboard, and plastic products can be recycled. The EPA has a comprehensive list of common items that can be recycled, with specific instructions for how to recycle each item. Be sure to check this page and other recycling resources before putting just anything in the recycling.

Adding a recycling service to your existing account is easy. Contact our team or call us today, and we’ll let you know if recycling is available in your area and how you can add it to your account.
