How Long Can You Keep It?
Most reputable dumpster rental companies will allow you to keep the bin for around 5 to 7 days, giving you plenty of time to fill it.

Keep Your Bin As Long As You Need It
Remember that these companies make money by moving dumpsters from one job to the next, and they will have a finite number of bins in their inventory. If it turns out that you have the dumpster longer than expected it is important to communicate that to the company as soon as you can so they can make the arrangements needed.
So remember, the bin is yours as long as you need it. But let’s face it: Once the job is complete, don’t you really just want that thing gone?
