When a dumpster is dropped off, it is inspected similar to the way a rental car would be. If we see you have caved in a side or beat up the dumpster you will be responsible for the repairs. These repairs can range from as low as $100 to a full replacement of $5000.

If you have items that you are uncertain if they can be placed in the dumpster, please contact us or call to ask. Prohibited items found in our dumpsters will incur an additional charge to you.

You can only estimate but as a few examples:

• A 15 yard dumpster filled with asphalt shingles averages 3.5 tons

Items such as plaster, concrete, stumps, asphalt, roofing materials, trees and brick are some examples of items that can cause a dumpster to go overweight.

How much dumpsters will hold is measured by cubic yards. Guessing what size you need can be slightly tricky; but here are some examples to help you.

• A 15 yard dumpster will hold roughly 35 roofing sq. of shingles, a 20 yard dumpster approximately 50 square and a 30 yard about 75 square. These calculations are based on one layer of asphalt shingles. As an example, a 1500 sq. ft roof needs a 15 yard dumpster
• A bathroom remodel typically uses a 10 yd dumpster to hold all the old fixtures and construction materials. Should you be planning to add additional clutter from your home, you will want to get a 15 yard dumpster to hold the extra items
• For a kitchen remodel you will need a 15 or 20 yard dumpster. The size will depend on the extent of the remodel, and normally these projects grow as you start doing floors and walls. If there is going to be a lot of plaster, drywall or flooring materials, you may exceed the weight limit so it may be a good idea to order one size larger than you think so you have that higher weight cap.

If you have questions about choosing a size, please feel free to contact us here, or call 1-888-555-1212.

No. If you give us good placement instructions or mark the area you want it placed you will not need to be there.

Electrical & telephone wires will need to be at least 13.6’ in height. The Wheelbase of the truck is approximately 22 ft. and the width with mirrors is 11 ft. We cannot deliver dumpsters over fences. Because dumpsters need to be lifted and tipped off the truck we will require additional height when placed. Without written permission we cannot go on any of your neighbor’s property. Anything such as vehicles, boats, trailers or anything that would hamper our placement attempt must be moved prior to delivery. If we arrive with the dumpster and have an obstruction or lack of space, you will be charged a $75 trip fee.

You will pay for the total cost of dumpster upfront when you book it online or by phone. Payments are made with any major credit card. Once we pick up dumpster and get a final certified weight slip, if you went over your weight limit you will be then charged for that additional weight. I.E.: You rented a dumpster with a 2 ton limit, but your dumpster final weight was 5000 lbs. We would charge you for the extra 1000 lbs at $.10 per lb.
