Dumpster rental questions we hear daily
Written the way we answer the phone: plainly.
What weight limits apply to roll-off dumpsters?
Weight limits vary by provider and dumpster size. Ask the provider for the limit before delivery, since heavy debris such as concrete can reach it sooner than expected.
How do I pick a dumpster size?
Dumpsters commonly come in 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yard sizes. Smaller sizes suit cleanouts and small remodels, and larger sizes suit construction and demolition. Call and we talk through your project.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on the street?
It can depend on the town and where the dumpster sits. A driveway often needs no permit, while a street may. Ask the dumpster provider and your town office before delivery.
What items are not allowed in a dumpster?
Prohibited items vary by provider. Paint, chemicals, tires and batteries are often restricted. Ask the provider for their list before you load.
Who delivers the dumpster?
An independent local dumpster provider. We are a referral service, so we connect you with the provider, and the provider sets the delivery and pickup schedule with you.
Can I keep a dumpster longer than planned?
Rental length and any extension rules are set by the provider. Ask about them when you book, and tell the provider if your project may run long.
Can I rent a dumpster for heavy debris?
Many providers offer dumpsters for heavy debris such as concrete or soil, often with fill limits. Ask the provider what applies to your material.
What do I need to tell you when I call?
Your delivery address, the type of project, the kind of debris, and when you would like the dumpster. We use that to connect you with a local dumpster provider.
