When renting a dumpster for a home renovation, cleanout, or construction project, most people assume that as long as everything fits inside the container, they're good to go. However, what many don’t realize is that dumpster rental pricing isn’t just about volume—**it's also about weight**. Dumpster rental companies include a specific weight limit in the base rental price, and exceeding that limit can result in additional charges. This is a common source of surprise for customers when the final bill arrives.
