Junk Removal vs. Bin Rentals

21 Mar 2023 Junk Removal

When it comes to removing junk from your home, it is crucial to understand what your options are. While you could take the time to remove all junk from your home and dispose of it properly, it is typically more worthwhile to invest in a junk removal service or bin rental from a reputable provider. By choosing either of these options, you can save time and effort while ensuring that all junk from your home is properly disposed of. As a leading provider of junk removal services and bin rental services, the team at Fraser Valley Junk Solutions knows how difficult it can be to determine which option is best for your needs. That is why we have compiled some information to compare junk removal vs. bin rentals to help you understand what each option includes.

Junk Removal

With a junk removal service, you will contact a provider to come to your home with a truck and junk bin. Once the provider has arrived, you will need to agree to their pricing structure before any work can begin. While some junk removal providers charge per junk bin/trailer or trailer weight, others will charge based on pre-determined “levels” within the trailer. Regardless of the provider you choose, it is crucial to ensure that you understand their pricing structure. It should also be noted that, in most cases, junk removal services cost more than bin rentals due to the additional labour requirements.

Once you have agreed to the price, the team members from the service provider will start to remove junk from your property based on your instructions. As each member of the team removes junk from your home, they will load it into the bin/trailer for you. From household junk and electronics to yard waste and tires, many types of items can be taken and loaded into a single bin with a junk removal service. Once the job is done, the provider will drive off your property and dispose of all items within the bin responsibly.

Bin Rentals

With a bin rental, you will need to contact a provider to drop a dumpster bin off at your property. In most cases, these bins are placed in driveways. Once the bin has been dropped off, you will be responsible for loading it up with household junk, renovation debris, or other items depending on the type of bin you are renting. For example, some providers will offer bins that are to be used exclusively for drywall or bins that can only be used for renovation debris. In most cases, homeowners will likely choose to rent a household waste bin to dispose of unwanted items within their property.

Most bin rentals are only available for a set number of days (3 days on average), so it is crucial to ensure that it is loaded before this time period is over. Since you will be responsible for loading all junk into the bin, this option tends to be less expensive when compared to junk removal. Once you are done with the bin, the provider will retrieve it from your property and dispose of all waste responsibly. While both options are great for decluttering your home, you will need to weigh the cost vs. labour requirements to determine which solution is ideal for your needs.
