Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Renting a Dumpster in Central Arkansas

Whether you’re clearing out a garage, tackling a remodel, or running a roofing crew, renting a dumpster is supposed to make life easier. But one wrong move can leave you with extra fees, damaged driveways, or a whole lot of wasted time.

1. Choosing the Wrong Size Dumpster

Too big, and you’re overpaying. Too small, and you’re calling us for another delivery mid-project.

At Little Bit Trashy, we’ll help you figure out what size you actually need:
- 15-yard: Perfect for household cleanouts and light remodels
- 20-yard: Great for larger projects or light construction
- 25-yard: Ideal for roofing jobs or bulky waste

2. Falling for “Too Good to Be True” Prices

Some companies advertise low rates — then hit you with hidden fees for weight, delivery zones, or mystery "environmental" charges. Not us. We keep it flat-rate and transparent with tonnage included.

3. Overloading the Dumpster

If debris goes over the top edge, we can’t safely haul it. That means delays and extra fees. Pro tip: pack your dumpster like you’re loading a trailer — flat and even.

4. Forgetting About Local Regulations

Each town has rules about where dumpsters can go. Some HOAs don’t allow them in driveways without approval. Don’t stress — we know the rules in Benton, Bryant, and most surrounding areas.

5. Waiting Until the Last Minute

During peak seasons (spring and fall), dumpster demand in Arkansas spikes. Book early to lock in your spot, especially if you need our Equipter RB4000 — the rooftop-friendly dumpster that roofers swear by.
