Our standard rental period for a single haul is 10 days, but that can always be extended if you need your dumpster for a longer window. Each additional day past the standard rental period is a $10 fee. Contact us for a custom quote if you know that you will need your dumpster longer than the standard 10-day rental period.

Depending on your location, we can typically deliver within 1-2 days.

The cost to rent a dumpster depends on your location, the size of the dumpster needed, and if you need to rent a dumpster for longer than the standard 10-day rental period.

Typically, you will be charged via credit card for the dumpster rental immediately when you make an online rental. Any additional fees will be assessed and calculated once the dumpster is picked up and emptied. A second charge for additional fees will be processed only if applicable.

If you intend to place the dumpster on a public street, you'll likely need to get a permit. It is best to contact your local municipality for the most up to date information.

It’s up to you if you wish to be present during the delivery or removal. If you are not present during the delivery, you should make sure the area for the delivery has been marked for the driver, and any plywood is placed on the driveway for the container to be set down on.

To prepare for the dumpster delivery or removal, you should make sure all vehicles and any other objects are out of the way of the delivery or removal area. You should also make sure all wires and overhead obstructions have been cleared from the delivery area. Finally, you should make sure the area for the delivery has been marked for the driver, and any plywood is placed on the driveway for the container to be set down on. 

Electrical, telephone wires and trees need to be at least 14.5 feet in height. The wheel base of the truck is approximately 9 feet. The mirrors on the truck, span 11 feet.

12-Yard Dumpster

The 12-yard dumpster is perfect for a variety of projects like roofing updates, deck demolitions, or can be used for heavy materials like concrete or asphalt.

Ideal For:

• Heavy materials
• Concrete or asphalt
• Small deck demolitions
• Moderate roofing debris

Container Dimensions:

12'0" L x 8'0" W x 3'5" H

Holds: 5 truckloads

 

20-Yard Dumpster

 

 

Unfortunately, there's no way to be 100% sure your dumpster won't be overweight until it gets weighed at the landfill. Here's a breakdown to help you estimate:

• Heavy items are the culprits: Think plaster, concrete, bricks, dirt, tree stumps, and roofing materials. These pack a punch weight-wise compared to regular household trash.
• Ton limits are for typical projects: Most dumpster weight limits are set for average remodeling or construction waste.
• Rain/Snow usually don't add much weight: They tend to drain out when the dumpster gets lifted.

Here's a rough guide to help visualize:

• A 30-yard dumpster filled with household debris usually weighs around 2 tons.
• The same size dumpster filled with new construction debris can reach 4 tons!

Protect your drive by placing three 8' 2x6' boards in the area to be delivered. Placing dumpsters on your grass can cause damage especially when the ground is wet. Asphalt surfaces are softer in warm weather. We are not responsible for damage to any private pavement or accompanying subsurface to lawn, concrete, asphalt or any route reasonably necessary to perform the services herein contracted.

The answer is yes, for the most part. Every site is looked at on a case-by-case basis. There are situations where snow and ice may create a risky situation.

No, but there may be exceptions. Most alleys are not wide enough for trucks loading and unloading dumpsters to back into them, and with low hanging wires they would not be able to deliver the container in a safe manner. The exception is if you are on a corner lot and the alley is wide enough for the truck and container to back into. You may still have to get a permit just in case to place it in the street.

No, but there may be exceptions. The weight of the truck would leave ruts in the yard, causing it to sink into the lawn and damaging the grass. An exception may be made if the area you need to use is dry and you place plywood down for the container to sit on.

Yes, in most cases. For many renovation and construction projects, the driveway may not always be an option. By obtaining a street permit from your municipality, you can then place the container in the street. Some municipalities will only give street permits for a certain amount of days and they do charge to issue the permit as well, and they may require barricades. In some areas, it is the responsibility of the hauler to get the permit and the barricades.

All containers have a load level sticker which will indicated that the material should not go above or sticking out above the load level sign. Overstuffed dumpsters are liable to having contents removed, and any additional work required to ensure safe transport may result in additional charges.

Absolutely! We offer dumpsters specifically for concrete, dirt, and other construction materials like brick, metal, and cardboard.

Here's the good news: When you keep these materials separate (like in separate dumpsters), they can be recycled at a lower cost. That means savings get passed on to you!

Give us a call and we can provide current pricing and answer any questions you have about renting a dumpster for concrete, dirt, or other recyclables.
