Garbage Trucks Rentals – Smart Choice For Municipalities?

Garbage Truck Rentals Are A Smart Choice For Municipality Hauling Programs
More and more municipalities are utilizing garbage truck rentals to meet the needs of their city or town’s waste hauling programs. The current economic environment has placed a considerable strain on municipalities nationwide dramatically limiting the available resources to purchase new refuse equipment to meet their city or town’s waste collection obligations. An interesting trend has been the utilization of garbage truck rentals as an option to an outright purchase. As the average front loader garbage truck sports a price tag of well over $200,000, renting the same trash truck for a modest monthly fee is quite an attractive option.

What trash truck is the best to use for our municipality? Renting a garbage truck allows the municipality to test multiple vehicles without long term obligation, allowing the “extended test drive” of different trash trucks to determine which would be the wisest choice for their particular requirements.

Many garbage truck rental companies have rent to own options which allow municipalities to use the vehicles they need and then place a portion of their monthly fee to the outright purchase of the garbage truck they have been renting. The rent to own garbage truck rental plan provides considerable savings on the purchase of new refuse equipment. If the eventual purchase of a garbage truck rental is a possibility, it is recommended to discuss the available options with the rental company prior to beginning the lease to ensure the plan chosen allows for the maximum credit towards purchase.
