DUMPSTER RENTALS

You are responsible for whatever ends up in your rented container, even items added by other people. If restricted or prohibited materials turn up, extra fees or penalties may apply. To reduce the risk, place the dumpster in a secure spot, keep an eye on access, or cover it with a tarp when it is not in use.

Every dumpster size comes with a set weight limit that we explain at booking. If your load goes over that limit, overage charges apply, usually calculated per ton or per pound above the allowance, and always prorated. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, brick, or roofing shingles are the usual cause. Estimate your debris weight as closely as you can and discuss the project ahead of time. If a load is overweight, you will hear about any extra charge before pickup.

Yes. Rental periods can be extended when a project runs long. If you already expect to need more time, mention it during booking so we can set the rental to match. If you realize mid-project that you need extra days, contact customer service as soon as possible. Extensions are available at a reasonable daily or weekly rate, and arranging one before the scheduled pickup keeps service uninterrupted and avoids added fees.

Yes. The Department of Transportation sets limits based on material type and dumpster size, and we also give you options for how much weight we cover for a given material and container. Going over the limit results in charges per ton or per pound above it. If you plan to toss heavy materials like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles, bring it up at booking so you choose the right size and understand any overage fees.

No. Dumpsters should stay where the delivery team places them. Roll-off containers are very heavy and need specialized equipment to lift and reposition safely. Moving one yourself can damage your property, the dumpster, or nearby structures, and it may break local safety rules. If you need it relocated, contact customer service so a professional can handle it. There may be a fee, but it ensures the move is done safely and within regulations.

Most general waste works, including construction debris, household junk, furniture, yard waste, and non-hazardous materials such as wood, drywall, roofing shingles, flooring, limited amounts of concrete, old appliances without freon, and everyday clutter. Hazardous materials are not allowed. That means no paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, tires, propane tanks, or certain electronics like TVs and computers, due to local and federal rules. If you are unsure about a specific item, ask first to avoid added fees or disposal problems.
