The 7-Yard Choice

Image
Have you been searching and searching for a dumpster perfect for the job you’re about to tackle? We have the perfect option for you! Aside from our 13-yard, 17-yard, and 21-yard dumpsters, we have that needle in a haystack you could benefit from. A very uncommon 7-yard dumpster! These are hard to come by in the dumpster rental search. Our 7-yard dumpster is ideal for landscapers and contractors. It can hold items such as concrete, bricks, dirt, sod and even mulch. It is low to the ground to make it very efficient to use a wheel barrel to empty the contents into it. This can be helpful if you’re working alone or with a small team because it could lessen the strain on your body, eliminating the need to toss items overhead.  Many times, people don’t want to spend 21-yard dumpster money when they cannot utilize all of the space due to weight. By opting for a 7-yard dumpster, you avoid overspending and only pay for the capacity you’ll actually use.  Also, with a larger dumpster, it’s very t

Spring Cleaning!

Image
It’s that time of the year! The pollen is in the air, the carpenter bees are buzzing, and you’ve started to get that motivation to clear out your home for spring cleaning!      The best way to start off your new beginning and fresh start is to rent a dumpster to make the hard work a little less tiresome. The first thing you’ll want to do is figure out how deep this cleaning is. Are you going to want our 13 yard for a quick clean-up up or are you going all in and want to rent the 21-yard dumpster? Either way you go - having a dumpster in your yard or driveway will make for easy toss-outs. Once you’ve gone room by room, it keeps you motivated to see all the items actually leaving your home and throwing it all in the dumpster. This is so much more refreshing than seeing a bunch of trash bags sitting around the house until you have the time to take it all out. Invite some neighbors, friends, or family to join in the spring refresh. You might help them get the ball rolling for themselves in

Dumpster or Dump Trailer?

Image
If you’re not a “handy” person or not into knowing all the in’s and out’s of hauling equipment, you could be thinking - “what’s the difference between a dumpster and a dump trailer? They both are used to dump items in, aren't they?” Yes, a dumpster and a dump trailer are similar in that they can both be used to haul away items. However, you will find that a dumpster lessens the loader’s work load. With a roll off dumpster, we’re able to place it on a surface and you don’t have to worry about it rolling off a hill or down a driveway. Whereas with a dump trailer, you do need to use a little more caution in placement because it still needs to be secured at the wheels and at the tow hitch. Now you’re ready to start loading it up. The major difference you’ll see here is that once the doors are swung open, there is a significant difference from the floor to the unit itself. If you’re trying to move a large item, you will have less of a height to climb using a dumpster. The lower distance

Why Rent a Dumpster?

Image
Let’s be real - these days we need to be cautious on every penny we spend. This leads to you wondering why you should even consider renting a dumpster. You can do it yourself, right? You most certainly can. However, when it comes to renting a dumpster, there are two major factors to consider: convenience and cost.  Convenience is the biggest benefit of renting out one of our dumpsters. If you’re working on a project, you already have so much on your plate. Renting one of our roll off dumpsters keeps you from having the headache of using a pick up truck, or finding someone who will lend you theirs. That comes with loading it up and finding a landfill that will accept the materials that you put in them, unloading once you get to the landfill, driving back to the location you started at and repeating that process over again, several times. There’s also the convenience of being able to load up the dumpster over a few days instead of having to commit to just one day or weekend. We do all th

Does Size Really Matter?

Image
This could be your first time renting a dumpster or it could be your twentieth.  However, each project will be different, and it will require different sizes. Here at Vega’s Pro Services, we offer a 13-yard, 17-yard, and 21-yard dumpster for your needs as opposed to the typical 10-, 15- and 20-yard sizes. This helps lessen the frustration of choosing a specific size for your project and thinking “what if,” as far as getting a bigger bang for your buck. 13 yard - This size is going to be the most convenient for your smaller DIY projects. This can include cleaning out a few rooms in your home or maybe getting rid of some yard debris. It will be approximately 5 leveled pick-up truck loads. 17 yard - You might be thinking, why go for the 17 yard? This is going to be your best option when you’re looking at a bigger project. If you’re looking to do a garage or basement clean out, this is probably your go-to. Think of a 17 yard dumpster as approximately SEVEN leveled pick-up truck loads of d
