Frequently Asked Questions

Q.How does your dumpster rental service work?

A.Our dumpster rental service is simple! Choose the right dumpster size for your project, and schedule a delivery date online. On your delivery date, we will deliver your dumpster, you fill it up, and we’ll haul it away at the end of your rental. When you're finished, simply call or text us. We’ll come to haul away your dumpster rental promptly so you can focus on your project. If we don’t hear from you before the end of your scheduled time, we will pick up your dumpster on the last day of your rental period.

We deliver our dumpsters between 8am-8pm. Our delivery times are not guaranteed. We will deliver the dumpster on the day promised, however, the exact time is unknown due to the unpredictable wait times at the landfills. We will however send you a text or a call when we are on the way to your dumpster rental location.

Q.How do I know what size dumpster rental I need?

A.We keep it simple with three roll-off sizes:

• 12 ft × 5 ft × 8 ft (≈17 yd³) – attic, basement, or small kitchen/bath remodels.
• 15 ft × 6 ft × 8 ft (≈26 yd³) – roofing jobs, medium renovations, deck tear-outs.
• 19 ft × 8 ft × 6 ft (≈34 yd³) – whole-home clean-outs, large construction or demo.

Still unsure? Call or text us and we’ll size it for you in under two minutes.

Q.How soon can I get a dumpster rental delivered?

A.We offer fast delivery, often within 24-48 hours of booking. Availability depends on location and demand, so we recommend scheduling in advance. Same-day delivery may also be available. Please call us if you need same-day delivery.

Q.How long can I keep my dumpster rental?

A.Our standard dumpster rental period is typically 7 days, but we offer flexible options if you need more time. Let us know your schedule, and we’ll accommodate your needs.

Q.How much does a dumpster rental cost?

A.Dumpster rental pricing depends on the size of the dumpster, rental duration, and location. To see the sizes we offer as well as the pricing for each, visit our Dumpster category.

Q.What materials can I put in my dumpster rental?

A.Acceptable waste includes household junk, furniture, appliances, electronics, and construction / renovation debris; we DO NOT accept rocks, concrete, bricks, dirt, sand, gravel, tree stumps, animal or medical waste, hazardous materials such as oils, paints, chemicals, batteries, or roofing shingles unless pre-approved. If restricted items overload a dumpster you must off-load them and extra charges apply; additional fees: tires (car tires + $20 each), excess weight $150 per ton, rental beyond 14 days, and returned checks; customers are responsible for all collection costs and any damage to curbs, driveways, lawns, or similar areas during delivery or pick-up, and further charges may be assessed as applicable.

Q.What if I fill up my dumpster and need another one?

A.This frequently happens with our customers as they get into their projects. We are happy to offer a swap out during your rental. Please contact our office to discuss the pricing and scheduling of a swapout.

Q.Do I need to be present when the dumpster is delivered?

A.No. It is not required for the renter to be present when the dumpster is delivered. Please make sure any special instructions are given to the office at the time of renting the dumpster.

Q.Do I need a permit for a dumpster rental?

A.If you’re placing the dumpster rental on a public street or sidewalk, you may need a permit. Private property placements typically do not require permits, but we can help you check local regulations.

Q.What surfaces can you place the dumpster on?

A.We can place the dumpster on pavement, concrete, dirt or grass. The surface just needs to be strong enough to hold the weight on the dumpster and the contents you load into it. We do place boards when delivering the dumpster to help make sure there is no property damage.

Q.Any special requirements when placing a dumpster at my house?

A.We do require a spot at least 15' Long and 10' wide or big enough to park a pickup truck or suv.

Q.What happens if I exceed the weight limit?

A.If your dumpster rental exceeds the weight limit included in our rentals, additional charges may apply. All of our trucks are weighed at our dump locations and if allowed tonnage is exceeded, we will charge the additional to your card.

Q.Are we responsible for the roll off dumpster if it is to get damaged in any way?

A.Normal wear-and-tear is on us. If the container is damaged by heavy equipment, fire, or misuse (e.g., lifting it with machinery), the customer is responsible for repair or replacement costs. Load evenly, avoid using excavator buckets, and you’ll be fine.

Q.Do you require a deposit?

A.We charge the rental fee to your card at booking—no additional deposit is required. Any extra fees (over-tonnage, extended days, etc.) are charged only after final pickup and scale tickets are in.

Q.What sizes of dumpsters do you offer for rental?

A.Three sizes, purpose-built for Fairfield County jobs:

• 17-yard (12 × 5 × 8 ft)
• 26-yard (15 × 6 × 8 ft)
• 34-yard (19 × 8 × 6 ft)
