What Dumpster Should You Choose for Your Event

No matter the event, any large congregation of people will always involve one thing, a lot of waste to deal with. People are messy creatures, and a large event will invariably leave a lot of garbage behind. Fortunately, a dumpster rental can provide an easy way to deal with all of the waste.

However, it is critical to ensure that the dumpster you choose is the right size for your event to ensure that no unexpected waste disposal issues arise. The size of the dumpster you need will vary widely based on the expected attendance and size of the event. Here are some basic guidelines to use in choosing the right dumpster for your event.

Conventions, Trade Shows, and Other Large Scale Events

For particularly large events, you can expect an immense amount of waste. For events such as large corporate get-togethers and other particularly large events, a 100-yard dumpster may be needed.

Large or Multi-Day Events

For large events or those lasting multiple days, a 25-yard dumpster will generally offer the best option. These dumpsters can handle a lot of trash as well as potentially clean up decorations once the event is complete. For extremely large weddings with guest lists of 200 or more, as well as block parties and other large get-togethers like these, a 25-yard dumpster should be your go-to waste management solution.

Family Reunions and Typical Events

For events such as large weddings and family or class reunions with guest lists smaller than 200 people, a 20-yard dumpster should do the trick. With a height of only four and a half feet, these dumpsters can allow trash to be easily disposed of while offering ample space for most events. Of course, it is important to consider if a particularly large number of decorations or other physical items, such as temporary dance floors or tablecloths, will be disposed of.

Parties and Small Events

For most parties taking place at a residence as well as small events, a ten or 15-yard dumpster can get the job done with room to spare. For in-home parties where no large decorations are being disposed of, a 10-yard dumpster will do just fine.

For small events that may have a large amount of waste, such as decorations or other refuse left over from the festivities, a 15-yard dumpster will generally get the job done. This is also the perfect size for smaller weddings with guest lists of 75 or less. These dumpsters will handle the waste produced by guests as well as decorations just fine.

Final Thoughts

Having the right size of dumpster is crucial for any event, and the best way to ensure you choose the right size is to take stock of the type of event you are planning. You can begin planning by using the above guidelines, and when you are ready to get started, a dumpster rental provider can help you to pick the right size for your needs.
