Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between renting a dumpster and a dump trailer?

    Dumpsters are larger (10-20 cubic yards) with 7-day rental periods, ideal for construction projects and major cleanouts. Dump trailers are smaller (7-15 cubic yards) with 5-day rentals, better suited for DIY projects and shorter-term needs. At S.A.T. Dumpster Rentals LLC, we help you choose based on your project scope and timeline.
