“Great prices and friendly staff. Process was made very easy and they are very flexible if you need to change the pick up date. I had to change pick up date 3 times and they were very understanding. I will definitely use them again if I ever need a dumpster service in the future and recommend them to anyone.”
All American Waste vs. Summit Carting: the statewide fleet or the local yard
All American Waste is one of the biggest independent haulers in Connecticut, with 6 to 30 yard containers and service across the state. Summit Carting runs one yard in Milford. Both will get a dumpster to your driveway. The differences are what the price includes, how you find it out, and who answers when something changes mid-project.

A generous weight limit is not a number
All American describes its pricing as transparent with most weight included. It may well be, but their site does not print the tons or the overage rate, so you cannot compare quotes until the callback. Summit prints both: the tons included on each size and $160 per ton after that, weighed at the scale and billed only if you go over. When two quotes are a hundred dollars apart, the tonnage line is almost always why.
Two weeks you get versus five days you choose
Their standard rental is two weeks, which is real value if your project needs two weeks. Most driveway cleanouts are done in three days. Summit includes 5 days on the 12 yard and 7 on the larger sizes, lets you set the exact pickup date while booking, and prices extra days at ten dollars, so a short job is not subsidizing a long one.
Statewide route or first stop of the morning
All American covers Connecticut from multiple facilities and does it well at that scale. Summit covers 49 towns within about 25 miles of Milford, which means your delivery is a first-run morning stop, not the eleventh address on a statewide route. That radius is the whole reason next-day delivery is our default and same-day is frequently possible.
When you call us, we pick up
An 800 number is how a statewide company has to work. It is not how we work. Call (203) 268-3739 and the person who answers is at the Milford yard, knows what is on tomorrow’s routes, and can give you a price and a delivery slot in the same conversation. No quote queue, no callback, no re-explaining the job to a second person.

Is All American Waste or Summit Carting faster on delivery?
We can only speak for ourselves: online bookings are next-day, and calls before noon can often be served same-day because the yard is in Milford. Ask any statewide hauler what their next available delivery date is for your town, and compare.
What does the Summit price include that a quote might not?
Delivery, pickup, the printed tonnage allowance, and the rental window, with your town fuel recovery fee and 3 percent processing fee itemized on screen before you pay. The only thing billed later is tonnage over the allowance, at a posted $160 per ton.
Can I switch to Summit mid-search without re-quoting everything?
Yes. The Save quote button in our checkout emails you a firm, itemized quote with a secure pay and sign link, so you can hold our number while you wait on any other callback.

Statewide haulers commonly quote delivery 2 to 5 days out once the quote process is done. Summit delivers same-day when you call (203) 268-3739 before 12 PM and next-day as standard on online bookings.

“Easy booking, drop-off, and pickup. Staff was very accommodating and prompt. They even worked around my absent-mindedness by dropping my bin on time, even though I forgot to sign the contract. Highly recommend Summit. Will definitely use them again!”
“Summit Carting was the easiest part of the project. They came on time, they were reasonable with the rates, and very professional. I have a tricky driveway; it was no issue. They were wonderful to work with.”
