This is a long rant about what I have found to be successful while advertising and pricing my services for dumlster rentals! Like and subscribe!

[@ubencioarismendy4834]

Here I am watching a video made in 2024 that was made in 2022😂😂. Great video!!! I here getting ready to open my own business you made me more excited to start my business I’ll continue watching love your videos keep up the good work

[@OldSchoolMillennial]

Great advice, man! I've been binge watching your videos. I have a similar background and started my side hustle with rental property. I'm hoping to start a roll off operation on the side as soon as I can find the right truck. You've got a new subscriber. Almost to 1,000!

[@rollingops]

Wow thats awesome man! Thanks for the sub, and keep grinding! Rentals are where it is at. I clearly love renting everything!

[@emowgencynwa217]

Dude, this video has heled me a ton!! We are looking at purchasing a dumpster rental company right now and everything you have said is spot on about the current owner. 28 dumpsters, all rented weekly, $10 cheaper than the big company.... they are currently renting 40 units per month and are beating their chests, lol. Great stuff man, thank you.

[@rollingops]

Yep it is crazy, I have 7-8 dumpster and easily do 40+ rentals per month

[@elitedumpsterrentals2935]

Great Advice, I’m hopefully picking up a hooklift truck this week. Currently running 4 dump trailers, I’ve done 20 rentals in the first 17 days of this month.

Where do you find a business for sale? Or trailer and dumpster? Thanks

[@Adam-qt6qq]

1 Dumpster and I work full-time job during the week. I bought my rolloff trailer and Dumpster 15yd. I'm doing it on Saturday dropping off picking up next Saturday morning dump out then drop off to another customer. Right now Can't afford to get more Dumpsters.. just started up 2 weeks ago. Got my Equipment like month ago. Fb marketing free advertising. Need to brand my Dumpster. But companies are really busy and my 1 is out there in driveway.

[@rollingops]

You have to start somewhere! I started with a single roll off as well and built up from there.

[@mikelopez4148]

How is business? Is Facebook market a really good source !?

[@revfred2008]

Would love to see a video about your preference between hooklift vs rolloff.

[@rollingops]

Oh man, I could talk about that quite a bit, ill see what I can do

[@revfred2008]

Thank you so much!!! If you add a second driver wld it be cost effective to buy a used hooklift truck and add it to the arsenal?

[@meangel1298]

I would add using the software like podium or nice job after each drop off to get reviews. Adding real pictures of yourself on Google and Facebook instead of generic ones

[@rollingops]

I'll be looking into this, thanks!

[@MrShayster007]

Starting out here. What do you think about stenciling with bright spray paint. Trying to keep the cost down until the business can sustain itself professionalism....

[@melissat3500]

Great videos! My husband and I are thinking about starting up our own roll off dumpster business. There are a couple bigger dumpster companies, the one company charges $325 for 7 days and the other company is more expensive. We are going to be pricing almost the same amount that you do. 1 day rental-$295 2-3 day rental $315. 4-7 day rental $325. Would it be worth it for us to do this or should we be pricing lower?

[@kevinryan3241]

Great video i love the advice!! I’m curious have you ever heard of the bigger companies controlling a contract for a whole county or a whole city so then no other waste disposal business is allowed in the area without getting fined or shut down?

[@rollingops]

Yes I have, luckily that is not a thing in my area!

[@danahasson2892]

I run 10 dumpsters currently and got 10 more on order. I do mine pretty similar I have 1-3 days and 4-7 days for my pricing model. Most of the big companies are 7 days and that's it in my area.

[@rollingops]

It works well for me too!

[@FrankKriticos]

If you had a crew cab, would you be able to see the end of your trailer out the rear window if it was unloaded?

[@rollingops]

I've had a crew cab. Not quite. That's why u went to the single, I can see the gooseneck hitch and the trailer is much more visible. But a crew cab does the work fine. Just makes it difficult in tight places

[@ivancastellanos5047]

Great Advice, Question there where you live does the big dumpster company have a contractor with your city for the dumpster Rental?

[@rollingops]

No but they do for the dump, the city dumps their waste there.

[@danteros9460]

I see a lot if people on my area with the big roll off dumpsters. Most of them have good reviews more than 4.6 stars. Each website I go to I don't get a direct price point. Im doing dump trailers (15 cubic yard ones ). But it seems like most of those guys can't deliver on time, or have rentals within the same week.

[@danteros9460]

I live in cali most 20 yard dumpsters run from $450 to $650 with the big guys. I offer $400 for 24 hours $450 for 48, and $500 for 72 hours

[@jtromans8307]

I currently have a Cdl, I’m really interested in starting up a roll off business. Have you noticed any benefit to having larger dumpsters versus smaller dumpsters?

[@rollingops]

I get calls for bigger dumpsters only so often, but it would be nice to have. Most residents can do what they need with 20 yards and less. If you want contract work with crews, go bigger. But you will be fighting for the business from the big guys.

[@citywidebailbonds7428]

Hey man started following your page really cool stuff. I have a question for you are you able to do what you do with a flatbed tow truck?

[@rollingops]

I wouldn't suggest it, I don't think the tilt angle would work out, would def want 4x4 if you tried. But look into shipping containers and renting them out. I've seen some guys with 20ft beds do that! Super passive income in that business

Could a roll-off dumpster be operated under no CDL? Under what set up?

[@rollingops]

Yes. Very common

[@alexmalm6406]

Would a single rear wheel truck be better as it would be a lower GCVWR? 2500/3500 single wheel vs drw as you have.

[@rollingops]

I had a single. And even though in over cdl, I'd never go back. Because I like how it handles. But it does work just fine.

Is Now the time to start a dumpster rental business ? Or wait more until just before spring time ?

[@rollingops]

Very loaded question, winter would be a good time to ease into it. Spring and summer is jam packed for me. If business popped off, it could turn into a cluster

[@marcomolina9235]

How do you make money on a 2 to 3 day if there’s 4 to 4 ton of garbage and they charge $120 a ton on the landfill. Im looking to start but that’s one of my main questions thank you!

[@stevenhoneywell4497]

I’m wondering the same thing

[@buildingsalvage]

He mentioned in another comment anything over 1 ton is added to the invoice. So the rental includes pick up drop off and up to 1 ton. Then add mileage for anything over.. 25mi? And include dump fees over that 1 ton

[@boondocksaint7212]

What are your thoughts on services like angi leads? I'm seeing contractors have basically mixed reviews. Do you think it would work well in the dumpster business? Thank man!

[@rollingops]

I turn them down every 2 weeks when they call. I have heard terrible things and have been told they are also in a lawsuit, so it's just not for me. I'd rather allocate the money for things I already know work, like Google ads. I'm sure they are better in parts of the country than other. But I have never in my life heard someone say "look it up on angie" - but I have heard "look it up on google" a million times

[@timothytherrien3624]

hello mr rolling ops. quick question on pricing if you wouldn't mind. Up here northern michigan i have 2 landfills near me, both are waste management. one charges $35/yard the other charges $50/yard. I am in the process of working out tonnage rates with the local sales rep for them, however we will see how it goes. This turns out to be ~500-1000 just to dump one 15 or 20 yard dumpster (depending). this means the small day rentals are out of the picture, shoot even full 2 week rentals like the big guys are almost out of the picture.

[@scrapmanindustries]

Dang man, find a different place to go. Them places are rip-offs if they are charging that much. Down south in northern Ohio it’s like $65/ ton.

[@scrapmanindustries]

@@timothytherrien3624 it looks like your area does kinda suck. I couldn’t find price for the republic landfill online but there is the MOA landfill about and hour north that only charges $15/yard. Not sure if that goes off of the capacity of the trailer or what you actually are hauling. That still kinda seems expensive if your not filled completely full. Still only about $225-$300 dump fees for that one. Plus about 2 hours of driving unless you start marketing yourself more north than south. It kinda seems like you need to find a partner and open up a full fledged transfer station in your area. Waste management and republic usually offer volume discounts to bigger companies, you’d be a bigger company and if your not trying to rip people off most people will come dump at your site I’d imagine if waste management really is charging $35/yard.
