How far in advance should I order my dumpster?

We recommend scheduling your dumpster 2–3 days in advance to guarantee availability. During busy construction seasons, earlier booking is encouraged. Same-day service may be available depending on scheduling.


How much space do I need for delivery?

For safe delivery, please allow:

  • Approximately 60 feet of straight clearance
  • 10–12 feet of width
  • 20 feet of vertical clearance

Remove vehicles, trailers, and obstacles before delivery to avoid trip fees.


How much weight can I put in the dumpster?

Each dumpster rental includes a specified weight allowance. Heavy materials such as roofing shingles, concrete, dirt, and brick add weight quickly. Exceeding the included weight limit may result in additional landfill charges.

If you are unsure about material weight, call us and we’ll help you choose the right size.


Will I be billed for extra weight?

Yes. If the container exceeds the included tonnage, additional landfill fees will apply. We believe in transparent pricing and will always communicate any overages clearly.


What items are restricted?

For safety and environmental compliance, the following items are prohibited:

  • Hazardous materials
  • Paints & chemicals
  • Tires
  • Batteries
  • Asbestos
  • Propane tanks
  • Flammable liquids

If you are unsure about a specific item, please contact our office before disposal.


How will I be billed?

A valid email address is required for billing and invoicing. All invoices and receipts are sent electronically for accuracy and proper record-keeping.

We offer multiple convenient payment options, including:

  • Credit and debit cards
  • Approved business payment methods

If you have billing questions, our team is happy to assist.


Can I change or cancel my order?

Yes. Please contact us at least 24 hours in advance to avoid cancellation or trip fees. We understand schedules change and will work with you whenever possible.


How can I protect my driveway?

We recommend placing plywood boards under the dumpster wheels to help distribute weight and reduce surface pressure. While we take precautions during delivery, protecting surfaces is ultimately the customer’s responsibility.
