Dumpster Rental Questions and Answers

One flat price, told to you upfront, with no junk fees tacked on at the end. No surprise "environmental surcharge," no fuel-fee shuffle. Your exact number depends on where you are and what you're tossing, so call your local owner and you'll have a real quote in a couple of minutes.

Plan on several days, usually 3 to 7. If your project runs long, just tell us. We would rather leave the bin with you than make you rush the job. Your local owner can sort out extra time.

A lot of the time, yes. Call in the morning and there's a good chance it's in your driveway that afternoon. It comes down to the day's route, so ask when you book and we'll tell you straight.

If it sits on your own driveway or yard, almost never. If it has to go on a public street, your city may want a permit. Your local owner has worked in your area before and can point you the right way.

Nope. Just tell us where to set it and make sure the spot is clear. Plenty of customers are at work when we drop off and pick up.

Most of what a home project throws at you:

• Household junk and clutter
• Old furniture and mattresses
• Renovation and construction debris
• Yard waste and brush
• Roofing shingles
• Flooring, drywall, and lumber
• Appliances (minus the ones with refrigerant)

A short "please keep out" list, mostly for safety and the law:

• Paint, chemicals, and fuel
• Batteries
• Tires
• Asbestos
• Medical waste
• Fridges or AC units that still have refrigerant

Rules shift a little by town, so if you're eyeing something borderline, just ask your local owner first.

Often yes, but heavy stuff like concrete and brick hits the weight limit long before the bin looks full. Tell your local owner what you're loading and we'll set you up so an overage charge doesn't catch you off guard.

Absolutely. Branches, brush, grass, soil, the leftovers from a weekend in the yard, all fine.

A little from a kitchen cleanout is fine. Skip dumping large amounts, though. It turns smelly and invites critters before pickup day.

Load it level with the top rail and you're golden. We can't legally haul a bin that's mounded over, so keeping it level keeps your pickup on schedule.

Hazardous things like paint, chemicals, and batteries go to a designated drop-off site. Your city's waste department keeps a list, and your local owner can usually point you to the closest one.

Driveway, side yard, job site, wherever's handy for you. Tell us the spot you want and that's where it goes. If access is tight, mention it and we'll plan the approach.

Yes. The 10-yard is built to sit in a normal driveway, and it will even fit in most garages, so you're not surrendering the whole front of your house for a week.

We're careful, and being right-sized helps a lot. A 10-yard on a smaller truck is far gentler on concrete than a giant roll-off. Mention your surface when you book and we'll place it with that in mind.

For almost every home and small construction job, a 10-yard does it, roughly 4 to 5 pickup-truck loads. It's the size we specialize in, so it's all we run and we've got it dialed in.

Because it's the right fit for most jobs and it goes where the big bins can't. You skip paying for empty space, and it slides into driveways and tight lots without taking over your week.

Usually not, for a home project. Bigger means more money (even half-empty), harder placement, taller walls to heave debris over, and a better chance of blocking your driveway or scarring the concrete. The 10-yard skips all of that.

Really easy. The extra-wide swing gate and low 4-foot walls let you walk debris in from the side instead of hoisting it over the top. Your back will thank you.

Perfect for it. Garage, attic, basement, the whole "how did we keep all this" pile, one bin and it's gone.

Yep. A 10-yard handles a typical residential tear-off, shingles, felt, nails, and all.

It heads to the landfill or a recycling facility, and we divert what we reasonably can. Less in the ground is better for everybody.
