In older parts of Gainesville, plaster and lath walls weigh far more than modern drywall. If you are gutting a pre war property, tell the provider, because the weight allowance matters more than the cubic yards.
Soft ground is the quiet risk at Gainesville addresses with long unpaved drives. After heavy rain a loaded container can settle far enough that the truck cannot winch it back on.
Check whether your Gainesville neighbourhood has rules about street visibility or screening. Finding out after the container is on the drive is the expensive order to do it in.
A container sitting empty on a Gainesville driveway tends to attract debris from elsewhere, which counts against your weight allowance. Call for collection when the last load goes in.
The provider tips at a facility near Gainesville and knows what it accepts. Reading your debris list out on the call takes a minute and prevents a contamination fee.

Gainesville dumpster rental questions
What size do most Gainesville homeowners order?
The 20 yard container. It handles a full floor of remodel debris or roughly 2,500 square feet of shingles and still fits a standard two car driveway.
What is the cheapest way to rent a dumpster in Gainesville?
Pick the size you actually need, keep the load under the weight allowance, put it on the driveway rather than the street, and book a few days ahead rather than same day.
How full can I load the container?
Level with the top rail, no higher. Anything above the rail cannot be legally tarped for transport, and the driver will refuse the load or charge to level it.
Can I rent a dumpster for just one day?
You can, but it rarely saves money. Most providers price a minimum rental period of about a week, so a one day rental usually costs close to the same.
What happens if I go over the weight limit?
You are billed for the extra tonnage at the local disposal rate, commonly $50 to $125 per ton. Ask for that rate when you get the quote.
