Please Note: Driveway Damage May Occur

For every dumpster delivery, we take great care to minimize the risk of scratches, cracks, or surface damage. The customer acknowledges that driveway surfaces may still be subject to normal wear and tear from the weight of the dumpster and truck and the pick up and drop off process. The company is not responsible for damage to surfaces or property.

Common Questions About Renting

Answers to frequently asked questions about the dumpster rental process

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking 24-48 hours in advance for guaranteed availability. Next-day delivery is often available when ordered before noon.

Do I need to be present for delivery?

It's helpful but not required. We'll call before arrival and can place the dumpster in a pre-arranged location if you're not available.

What if my project takes longer than 7 days?

No problem! Daily extensions are available for $50/day. Just call us before your rental period ends to arrange an extension.

Can I move the dumpster once it's placed?

No, dumpsters should not be moved once placed. If repositioning is needed, contact us to arrange professional relocation.

What happens if I exceed the weight limit?

Additional tonnage fees apply for weight over 2 tons. We'll discuss options with you if this occurs to keep costs reasonable.
