DUMPSTER RENTALS

No, all debris must stay level with the rim of the dumpster. Piling waste above the top creates safety risks during transportation and may prevent us from hauling the container. If your dumpster is overloaded, pickup could be delayed or result in extra charges. Always keep materials within the container’s height to ensure a smooth and safe removal.

Identify a flat, stable area such as a driveway or paved lot for placement. Remove any vehicles, debris, or obstacles, and consider placing plywood under the dumpster’s wheels to protect your surface. Communicate any access concerns ahead of time to ensure a smooth delivery.

Your dumpster can handle most non-hazardous debris, including household clutter, old furniture, yard trimmings, remodeling waste, and typical construction materials like wood or drywall. Appliances without refrigerants are generally accepted as well. However, items like paint, chemicals, batteries, tires, and certain electronics are restricted due to safety and environmental regulations. If you’re not sure about a specific item, just give us a call—we’ll help you sort it out before you load.

Yes, most of our roll-off dumpsters have a swing door on one end. This feature allows you to walk in large or heavy items before filling in with smaller debris, making loading easier and safer. Always ensure the door is closed and latched before pickup.

Every dumpster rental includes a designated weight allowance based on its size. If your debris goes over that limit, you’ll be charged an overage fee, typically calculated by the extra tons or pounds. To keep your project within budget, we recommend estimating your waste load in advance. Our team can help you choose the right dumpster size, and you can use our weight calculator to stay within the allowed limit.

Place the dumpster on a firm, hard surface like concrete or asphalt, and consider putting boards or plywood down to protect against scratches or dents. Avoid soft or grassy areas and discuss any surface concerns with our staff to take additional precautions.
