How do I rent a dumpster?
1.Book your dumpster online or over the phone. Select the dumpster size, your desired delivery date, and your planned rental duration.
2. Load the dumpster. Fill the dumpster with trash, being sure to not load over the top, as that is a hazard to the drivers.
3. We haul it off! We take care of the rest! One of our drivers will haul off the dumpster and properly dispose of the contents. They will then invoice you for the weight of the trash – it is usually around 2 tons – at a rate of $49/ton. (This is based on the fee the landfill charges us to dispose of the trash. They weigh us upon entry and departure to determine how much waste we were disposing of).
What types of waste are not accepted in the dumpsters?
Please be aware that we cannot accept hazardous materials. This includes, but is not limited too, items such as motor oil, weapons, asbestos, sealed tanks/drums, chemicals, propane tanks, and pesticides. Batteries, biohazards materials, food waste, weapons, firearms, construction and concrete.

Our dumpsters are equipped to hold up to 8,000 pounds of waste.
What is the best size for a residential clean out?
As you imagine, there are a lot of factors at play, but we usually recommend a 20 cubic yard dumpster.
How much can a residential dumpster hold?
For comparison, a 20 cubic yard dumpster holds around 64 residential trash-bins. A 20 yard dumpster is approximately 5 1/2 feet tall, 7 1/2 feet wide and 14 feet long.

We always love to meet our customers any chance we get, but it is not required to be on site for drop off or pick up of the dumpster. We will always knock on your door to shake your hand and go over some rules, but that all can be done over the phone if you are not present during delivery.
How should I load my dumpster?
When loading a dumpster, ensure all debris is placed inside the container. Do not leave anything hanging over the sides or sticking through the top of the dumpster. This could delay your waste pickup because drivers cannot haul overloaded dumpsters.
