Dumpster Rental FAQ’s

If there are concerns about potential damage to the surface of where you’re requesting placement, we recommend putting down a piece of plywood for protection. If you’d like to request we place the dumpster on the road or street in front of your house, be sure that you have a permit to provide to us for the dumpster prior to the delivery.

If debris is filled above the wall height or if the container is too heavy for the truck to lift, you would be responsible for off-loading the container into another dumpster. This would incur an additional fee in the form of an additional container, or a swap-and-return for the existing unit.

There would be a dry-run fee assessed for the wasted trip to the location.

Additional fees can occur if you exceed your allotted tonnage amount or exceed the number of days included in the rental.

Third, if you have a septic tank and you do not clearly mark its location, you run the risk of the truck damaging your tank.
