Frequently Asked Questions

Roll-off dumpsters get their name from how they're delivered -- on a truck which must have access to pull or back in and roll the dumpster off the back of the truck at your chosen location. 

Dumpsters can, in some cases, be equipped with wheels, or we can relocate the dumpster for you. 

Although dumpsters are generally priced by size, their capacity has more to do with the weight of what is disposed of in them. Imagine the difference in filling a dumpster with 10 cubic yards of leaves and branches or with 10 cubic yards of concrete or asphalt debris. 

We are happy to work with you to determine an appropriate size and weight limit to match your needs.

Federal, state, and local health and safety regulations prohibit hazardous and medical waste from being part of regular waste collection, including in dumpsters. 

Landfills have special processes for dealing with hazardous waste, and substantial surcharges and possible fines can be added if such materials are part of dumpster contents.

Our low, straightforward pricing system includes free, on-time delivery and pickup and a standard weight limit. If you exceed our generous weight limits, there is a surcharge for the extra tonnage to reflect the higher charge at the landfill. 

Of course, we are happy to work with you when choosing your dumpster to select the best size and weight limit for your project.

We're happy to collect almost anything you want to get rid of that fits in one of our dumpsters. There are, however, some hazardous items and other waste that require special disposal so those can't go in dumpsters. Items prohibited from dumpsters include:

• Pesticides and fertilizers
• Food waste or garbage
• Asbestos-containing materials
• Motor oil
• Electronics - like TVs, computers, etc.
• Pharmaceuticals & medications
• Medical waste
• Batteries
• Tires
• Liquid paint, oil, or most other fluid chemicals
• Fluorescent light bulbs
• Antifreeze
  

Almost all construction and landscaping waste can go into a dumpster safely, including:

• Dirt, soil, gravel and rocks
• Concrete
• Asphalt

Most driveways easily accommodate a dumpster without problems. We're experienced and careful in our delivery and pickup to avoid damage as much as possible, too. 

You can help limit the risk of damage, by putting down some plywood where the dumpster will be unloaded, to cushion and distribute the weight better. Also be sure to talk to us when planning your dumpster rental -- the weight of what you fill your dumpster with has a lot to do with the risk of damage, too.

Do you have junk or debris to get rid of that's too much for your weekly trash collection?

Do you want to avoid making multiple trips to the landfill?

Do you want to leave the heavy lifting to the professionals? 

Do you want to save time, energy, and money getting rid of your junk?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you already know why you should rent a dumpster.
