Frequently Asked Questions

The process is very easy. Call us for current dumpster rental cost for your delivery location. We charge a complete container fee which includes delivery, rental, and one time pick-up of your container.  The material you put in the dumpster will be weighed on a scale and charged on a per/ton disposal rate that is prorated.  In other words, you only pay for the exact weight that you have in the box.  For your convenience, we can take your order up to a week in advance of your project.

We have 4 container sizes available for temporary dumpster rental.

• 10 yard container:  12′ L, 7′ W, 4′ H
• 14 yard container:  13′ L, 7.5′ W, 4′ H
• 20 yard container:  18′ L, 7.5′ W, 4′ H
• 30 yard container:  18.5′ L, 7.5′ W, 6′ H

We require a 9′ width of space for access and proper box setup.

We can only provide the dumpster. Please contact our office for suggestions on companies that can provide this type of service for you.

All asphalt shingles are now required to be recycled. Therefore, only roofing and roofing related material is allowed in the container.

Yes, you must call and arrange the removal of the dumpster. Please know we must have clear access to dumpster. It’s important to make sure no vehicles or debris is in the way of the dumpster, and in winter months, any snow and ice must be removed to avoid trip charges.

We’ll work hard to try to accommodate your dumpster needs. Based on the large demand for dumpsters, especially during the warmer weather, we may need to limit the time allowed for each rental. Additional rental day-charges could apply. Please feel free to discuss your questions and concerns with our office.

We certainly will do our best to accommodate your needs, but once the job has commenced, there may be additional charges if the order is changed.

To help determine the size you may need, calculate the volume of your load. Here’s how: Multiply the Width in feet x the Height in feet x the Length in feet and divide by 27 to get cubic yards. Keep in mind that when you load the dumpster larger pieces will make a difference in the ability to fit all items into the dumpster. All items must be contained within the dumpster level full.
