  • How much does a dumpster rental cost?

    The cost varies based on the dumpster size, rental duration, and the weight of the materials you plan to dispose of. We’ll guide you through all these considerations before delivering your container. Please contact us for more information.

  • What sizes of dumpsters are available?

    We offer 15-yard dumpsters with flexible rental periods to suit various needs.

  • How do I order a dumpster?

    You can order a dumpster by giving us a call or clicking the "Request Quote" button at the top of our website.

  • What are the payment options?

    Payments can be made via credit card over the phone, or you can use our secure online payment system before delivery. Any additional charges for excess weight will be billed to your credit card after we pick up the dumpster.

  • Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?

    No, you don't need to be present, but it can be helpful. If you're not home, just let us know your preferred placement location when you reserve the dumpster. Please note, that if the dumpster is to be placed on a public street or right-of-way, some cities require permits, which may incur additional fees. We recommend placing the dumpster on your property whenever possible.

  • How long can I keep the dumpster?

    The rental fee includes ten days at no extra charge. If you need the dumpster longer, additional days are billed at $25 per day.

  • What can I dispose of in the dumpster?

    You can dispose of household items, construction or demolition debris, old furniture, wood, metal scraps, roofing materials, brush, and stumps. Household appliances like washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, and trash compactors are also accepted but must be placed on top of other debris. For heavy materials like concrete or bricks, please contact us for more information.


    • Additional fees apply for the following:
    • $75 for each passenger car tire
    • $125 for each truck tire
    • $175 for each heavy-duty industrial tire

  • What items are not allowed in the dumpster?

    Prohibited items include paint, gas engines, chemicals, medical waste, combustible fuels, batteries, AC units, computers, electronics, oils, asbestos, and excessive food waste. Please be aware that additional charges will apply if any prohibited items are found in the dumpster.

  • How should I load the dumpster?

    Most items can be loaded from the top, but if you open the back door, please make sure to close it securely after loading. For tips on efficient loading that will save you time and money, refer to our Loading Tips page. Household appliances such as washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, trash compactors, etc. are accepted but must be loaded on top of all other debris in the dumpster.

  • How high can I fill the dumpster?

    It’s crucial that the dumpster is not overfilled, and that no debris extends above the fill line or is hanging over the sides. This ensures our driver will be able to safely cover the load. Additionally, it’s important that the area around the dumpster is clear to allow for safe pickup. We will be unable to haul the dumpster unless it is properly loaded. If our driver finds the dumpster improperly loaded, you will be charged a $125 trip fee.
