Check your truck before you book
A loaded 8x20 enclosed can weigh 5,000–7,000 lb, and the tall box catches wind. Plan on a full-size pickup or large SUV with a brake controller, and check your ratings in the tow checker.

Where to dump it
Howard County: Alpha Ridge Landfill, 2350 Marriottsville Rd, Marriottsville, MD. Any resident using a trailer or rental vehicle is treated as a commercial customer: a $40 yearly permit and every load crosses the scale. Residents using a rental vehicle may also need a special-exception form approved before unloading, so call ahead. Construction debris is $106/ton plus a 2.45% card fee. Monday–Saturday only; Howard County waste only.
Every county around us weighs rented trailer loads and charges by the ton, and none opens Sunday.
Return It Loaded
Bring it back full and we take it to the scale for the county price plus $49. Saturday-afternoon renters: this is how you avoid keeping a full trailer until Monday.
Questions about the 8x20 Enclosed
Do you include straps and blankets?
Straps are included. Bring your own moving blankets.
Can I keep it overnight at a storage unit?
Yes, inside your rental dates. Lock it and keep the key.
6x10 or 8x20?
The 6x10 ($60/day) pulls behind most SUVs and holds a studio or one-bedroom. The 8x20 ($150/day) holds about two and a half times as much but needs a bigger truck and a brake controller.
