New homeowner in Viera or Palm Bay? Starter guide to renting the perfect LH dumpster

Moving into a new home often comes with projects—fresh paint, new floors, a backyard refresh, or clearing out what the previous owner left behind. A roll-off dumpster can make those first weeks smoother and safer. Here’s your starter guide to renting the right dumpster from LH Junk Hauling & Dumpster Rentals, LLC—Melbourne’s licensed, insured, white-glove team serving Viera, Palm Bay, and surrounding communities.

Step 1: Choose the 15 cubic yard dumpster

Our residential roll-off dumpsters come in 15 cubic yards.

Pro tip: Heavy materials (soil, tile, concrete, roofing) add weight fast. Sometimes a smaller dumpster with multiple swaps is safer and more cost-effective. Tell us what you’re tossing—we’ll right-size the bin and explain any weight considerations upfront.

Step 2: Plan placement and permissions

In Viera, Palm Bay, and many HOA communities, planning placement avoids delays.

• Best spot: A flat, hard surface like your driveway. We can lay protective boards upon request.
• Clearance: 60–80 feet of approach space and 20+ feet of vertical clearance for safe drop-off.
• Street placement: May require permission; check your HOA or city guidelines. We can advise.
• Gates/HOAs: Share gate codes and quiet hours. We schedule around community rules.
• Safety: Keep the area clear of vehicles, sprinklers, low limbs, and overhead wires.

Step 3: Schedule a smart rental window

Plan your delivery a day before work starts so your crew (or you) can fill immediately.

• Set a start date tied to demo or moving day.
• Build in a buffer for unexpected debris.
• Ask about short-notice or emergency delivery—we do our best to accommodate.
• Not sure how long you’ll need it? We offer flexible rental windows and prompt swap-outs.

We provide free estimates and fast response so you can get your project rolling without delay.

Step 4: Know what can (and can’t) go in

Most household and renovation debris is fine, including:

• Furniture, mattresses, carpet, and padding
• Cabinets, drywall, wood, doors, and trim
• Appliances (special handling for refrigerators/ACs with refrigerant)
• Yard waste, fencing, decking
• Electronics and general trash

Items that typically require special handling or are prohibited:

• Paints, solvents, oils, fuels, chemicals, pesticides
• Batteries, tires, propane tanks, pressurized cylinders
• Asbestos, medical waste, liquids
• Appliances containing Freon without prior notice

When in doubt, ask. We can arrange appliance removal, hot tub tear-outs, and responsible disposal for regulated items.

Step 5: Load efficiently and safely

A neat load saves space, controls weight, and keeps your property safe.

• Break down bulky items and stack flat.
• Load evenly front to back; keep heavy items low.
• Don’t overfill—material must be level with the rim.
• Keep the door latched once loading is done.
• Cover the dumpster if rain is forecast; wet debris weighs more.
• Separate clean yard waste or metal when possible to support recycling and keep costs predictable.

Step 6: Understand pricing (and avoid surprises)

With LH Junk Hauling & Dumpster Rentals, transparency comes standard. Your quote is based on:

• Debris type
• Weight and disposal fees
• Rental duration and any swaps
• Distance and access considerations

We’re upfront about weight allowances and potential overage so there are no hidden fees. Ask about special rates for first responders, military, police, firefighters, nurses, and veterans.

Step 7: When a dumpster isn’t the best fit

Prefer not to lift a finger? Consider our full-service junk removal. It’s ideal for:

• Single-item pickups (appliances, mattresses, couches)
• Tight spaces, stairs, or condo move-outs
• Hot tub removal (draining, dismantling, hauling)
• Light demolition (cabinets, drywall, decking)
• Complete home or garage clean-outs

We can also combine services—our team handles heavy or specialty items while you use a dumpster for general debris.
