Roll Off DUMPSTER vs. DUMP TRAILER

[@Sky-wb4mu]

Hey bud, great video! Thank you for the consultation, it was worth every penny, you really lit a fire under me to get this going ASAP! I really appreciated the transparency as well, I wish the best! 🙏🏾

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Great to hear Skylor! I appreciate the support and look forward to seeing your success in the future!!

[@AR-ye8gm]

I’m pumped you made this video. I’ve asked people and did my research and unfortunately I’m still torn between the two. Because of start up money reasons, i think i will go with the dump trailer to start, and God willing work my way up to the roll off trailers..... if money wasn’t an issue I would get the roll offs. My business is demolition/ junk removal and cleanouts but my goal is to rent out my dumpsters also for the extra and all year around income. Any suggestions or guidance is always appreciated and thanks again for all your videos

[@Amy-of5lo]

I heard that customers usually complain about the roll-off damaging their driveway. I think starting with no rooftop dump trailer, would be ideal.

[@AR-ye8gm]

@@Amy-of5lo i work for a roofing company part time where all we use is roll offs. We never get complaints because the dumpster company my boss uses puts wood down. I would take the same approach. But if you don’t use wood, yes you totally will ruin driveways especially paver driveways

[@randyking1704]

I really like that you use both. Yes the registration is there but the tires I disagree. This is just my opinion of course. Dump trailer you drop and go ,roll off you pull back to yard to get another dumpster. This is double the miles for every drop,and every pickup. Again just my opinion. Thanks for your video

[@danielblanco6212]

We have 7 dump trailers. We love it. They are easier on the driveways because they are on tires and not metal rollers, they take less overall space to drop and hook. One breaks down you grab another. And you only back a trailer 1 time. Hydronic system is only used when dumping (not #1 loading at yard, #2 unloading at job, #3 loading at job, #4 dumping at landfill, and #5 unloading roll off). And no winch to deal with. The trailer and roll off combo weight more. Note: registration is not much and the trailer tires are used on that one trip for that 1 trailer not for the 7 trips if we had roll offs. So ideally, 7 sets of tires last you 7 times longer than the one set on the roll offs.

[@AlexCo2025]

Thank you Daniel, it all makes perfect sense. Buying the first dump trailer Wednesday!

[@750schimel]

I was thinking the tire comments weren't very valid because the trailers travel the same distance to the customer regardless

[@aaronyoung6937]

Great video & information! I personally prefer a dump trailer but hey I’m still working with a 7x16 utility trailer as my daily money maker 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

They are both great options and totally personal preference!! Thanks for commenting!!

[@Mr.WS6]

Can you use that roll off to also haul rock and spread rock?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Small loads yes

[@crypto_jay8019]

Do you charge by how much weight cystomer puts in dumpster or you cgarge one flat rate?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

We start by including a ton of debris then bill extra if it weighs more

[@danielsowell3024]

Who is the manufacturer for your roll off trailer? And are you happy with your trailer? I am leaning towards a Texas pride trailer and I’m not sure if I want gooseneck or bumper pull. You like your bumper pull?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Mine is a PJ and I’m happy so far! I’ve heard of Texas Pride but have never seen one in person. I do like the bumper pull in case a truck goes down you can borrow any 3/4 ton truck to pull it

[@mdot5850]

What size dump trailer would you suggest

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

7x12 or 7x14

[@JonsDailyHustle]

I'd have to pick the dump for me, just became I have more uses for a dump trailer and I can find them cheaper and easier here in my area

[@dougmarkley1476]

I believe one of the biggest advantages to a roll off is that the customer can have ground level loading for large heavy items. Or is that not much of a concern?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

That is very true!!!

[@stevenw76]

Where I live the local trailer place has a trailer and 3 dumpsters for $19k

[@markarauza2051]

Hey great video I've been watching your videos with everything that happened last year I'm looking to going into business for myself as a side hustle hopefully can turned to more. I have a question I know you've stated before about purchasing a route and going from there how would you go about starting from scratch how could I build a route in my local area I have a trailer and wanted to junk haul but also would like to do residential garbage pickup as well thanks to you btw haha just trying to figure how to go about that any info would be greatly appreciated!

[@jimlincoln1283]

Thank you great info.

[@derekestump6435]

Good stuff friend!

[@hipolitozamorano2214]

Question you just drop it off and pick up later what about if its stollen what happens are you just sol 🤔

[@Davo32310]

GPS tracker and insurance

[@hipolitozamorano2214]

@Davo32310 would insurance cover the whole cost of the trailer im going to get me one and just worried about that kind of stuff over 20 thousand is a pretty penny nowadays

[@chizz12]

Hey man! Just wondering what your opinion or advice is on this. I do landscaping, was looking into getting an Isuzu npr dump truck. Hoping to get some trash disposable jobs with it in the off season. What do you think about that? Or would a roll off trailer or dump trailer would be better?

[@chizz12]

Only thing with the Isuzu i can think of is that I can’t just drop it off and leave the site

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

I think both options would be great to start but 2 separate services, use the Isuzu for cleanouts/junk removal and the dumpster/dump trailer option for rentals

[@helpinghardgainers6753]

You can also get an Isuzu with a switch-n-go hoist to use with dumpsters, chipper bodies, flat beds, etc

[@germanalvarez745]

Good information.. about the weight capacity any difference? Thanks

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

They are rated similar, larger trailer is 14k and smaller is 12k...only thing about the larger is it weighs 2K more empty so payload is basically the same

[@OldBoyTantrums]

Have been bingeing on your videos the past few days, planning to get into the business and your videos are really helpful. I couldn’t hear what brand of roll off trailer you use as the wind distorts the sound, what brand do toy use? Also have your heard of Texas Pride trailers and what do you think of them? Thanks in advance.

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Awesome thank you! PJ Rollster is the brand! I don’t know much about Texas Pride

[@Asianevermore]

What model of the PJ roll of is that? What’s the configurations? Thanks man

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Rollster with 7x14 cans

[@DScott8732]

what are the dimensions of your roll off dumpster? the sizes in my area are 7.5 feet wide and 22 ft long 4.5 ft tall, but it is kind of hard to find a company that uses smaller trailers. the options in my area is that 22ft long is to long for my needs

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Ours are about 14’ long, 7 wide 4.5 tall

[@SrFulanoTal]

how much do the roll off dumpster rent out over there in the USA? and how is it rented, like per day or until they fill it up?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Can be rented by the day, week or month. Pricing ranges from $200 - $1,000 depending on size and time

[@ZSharkPH]

Great vid...I would assume the roll offs weigh a lot more.. Am i right about that??

[@kingbucks5368]

For this system do the dumpsters come in diffrent sizes?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Unfortunately no just 1 size but you can build them up yourself which I may do in the spring, taller sides = more yards

[@schoopinprofit]

Can you just start sending out fliers for residential trash? Or are there licenses you have to get to start doing that? I'm in the country and would love to start my own trash business to help the people around here out.

[@Sigma12557]

What’s the name of the company where you bought the roll off trailer?

[@lukes7188]

Funny how the roll off trailer cost less for the manufacturer to make. But they cost twice as much as a dump trailer.

[@benjaminsciascia6975]

Is this only able to be successful in rural areas?

[@vpst00]

What about theft. are you worried of either of the dumpsters being stolen off a customer's site?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

I would definitely be more worried about a dump trailer being stolen over a dumpster yes.

[@bojangels3545]

When u say 300 -400 for rental is that just the dumpster rental and dump fee is extra. Cause you fill that thing up with shingles it's like 800 to dump

[@liers99]

Depends on your area. Where I am the dump cost is next to nothing. Trailers go for $250 for 3 days. 30yd roll off $350. The highest dump bill I’ve ever had was $550 and that was 22 tons on a 40yd can.

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Yes it is $3-400 for just the 1st ton. Everything over that is extra

He said the roll off look more professional I say customers just want their junk move I don't think they care if it's a roll off or trailer just my thoughts

[@luisvalencia6974]

What state are you working in bro ?

[@NexusGuru]

Would buying 3 15 yard dumpsters be enough to start off? I saw in one of your videos buying everything new with 3 dumpsters comes out to $1,757/mo roughly. Do those 3 dumpsters make enough to cover those costs? Sorry for the odd questions but I saw your video today, and it seems like an excellent business idea where I live. I've also been sitting on savings I've built up over the years to build a business and right now seems to be the perfect time because I have a good amount of money saved up.

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

They definitely can with the right advertising, it might take a couple months to get the word out there but you could potentially rent each one a couple times a week!

[@JonsDailyHustle]

That definitely was sketchy, I would have an anxiety attack trying to back that in

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

It was tough 😳

[@hhprogressiveconstruction1140]

Oh man that dumpster is in a tight spot . Hopefully loading up there’s no issues .

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

It was tight but got it out clean!

[@mberk007]

Why don't you have you business number and website listed on the dumpsters?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

Not on there yet, definitely going to do it I just want to make sure it looks good and doesn’t take away from the logo. The truck pulling them has the number large on it, also we have a very informative website. It’s hard to read a website when driving by which is why the logo is so large and bold by itself

[@lsxpower3367]

The con you forgot to mentioned is that dump trailers are easier to get stolen than a rolloff dumpster

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

For sure!!!

[@reyrey90_60]

Amd a video of how you collect money from residential accounts and roll of dumpsters

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

That is personal information. Unfortunately I can’t make videos about customers, cash check and card are forms though.

[@courtneybattle104]

Anther pro is you don’t have to worry about theft as much.

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

For sure!! That’s a great benefit!

[@Nozhk]

You'll be probably look more professional, if you improve the sound when it's windy) Another pro of dump trailer is wheels don't damage driveway. Does your small roll off dumpster do any damage on driveway as big dumpsters do?

[@lakechamplainsanitation]

No because I use 2x10s so rollers never touch the ground.
