Pricing depends on size, weight limit and length of time rented for (rental days). Every size dumpster comes with a different weight limit or otherwise known as a dumping allowance (disposal charges are prorates, no estimates). Weight allowances are predetermined based on averages for each specific size. All dumpsters are weighed at the disposal facilities. If your material weighs more than your allowance you will be charged the difference prorated. Example, if you were allowed 4000 pounds (2 tons) and your material weighed 5200 pounds, you are charged for the extra 1200 pounds.  If you have the dumpster longer than the term you rented it for there are additional daily or monthly charges that apply. All standard rentals will not be removed until you call for the removal. Example, if you have a seven day rental and you need it for 3 extra days, you would be charged a daily fee for each of your 3 extra days. If you needed to keep the dumpster for 10 extra days, you would be charged for the 10 days at the daily rate. Client services can inform you of the potential extra rental day charges when you place your order. Always remember to call and ask what the potential charges may be if you are not sure. 

No, we do not. Delivery is always Free

Some of our competition may raise their prices based on supply and demand and whether or not it is the busy season. Although companies can have a pricing structure based on this concept we do not practice this at The Dumpster Depot®. Our pricing remains consistent through out the year whether it is the busy season or not. 

 No we do not. The Dumpster Depot® has never introduced a fuel, environmental or administrative surcharge program. Most, if not all of our competitors do have these charges and can be quite costly. In some cases adding ten to fifty dollars or even more to your rental. 

We do out very best to accomodate the customer as quickly and efficiently as possible. Service requests can normally be done 1 to 2 business days within the initial request. If you are all done with the dumpster and you need it removed, you must call in to schedule to have the dumpster removed. All 7 day (standard rental) and longer term rentals are not removed until you call in. Once you call in, the removal will take place within a few business days. 

You may have the dumpster for as long as you like. However, the longer you keep it, the more it costs. A standard rental no matter the size gives you 7 days before extra rental day charges start to accumulate. As part of our order taking process we will ask you how long you think you may need the dumpster for. Then we will help you to determine which program fits your need the best. Many customers that purchase a dumpster rental only need the dumpster for a couple of days. For these customers we have an alternative program call the 2 day Express. This works out great because there is a cost savings and the dumpster is on and off your property quickly. 

Yes, it cost the same as the original amount that you paid if you are ordering the same size (different prices will apply for different size dumpsters). No, you do not receive anymore free days. Free days only come on the first delivery. This in dumpster lingo is called a swap out or dump and return. This is the same as starting over from the beginning. We are in fact bringing you another empty dumpster so it costs the same as you paid for the first one and your dumping allowance is the same as the first one. Rental day charges however will begin to accumulate after your initial term for your first rental. Even if you had multiple swap outs, you do not receive a free 7 days with every swap out. Client services can help you avoid this and extra rental charges when ordering by predetermining the proper size dumpster and length of time. 

You can find the approximate measurements in the Homeowner Section of our web site. 

All of the temporary open top dumpsters are approximately 8 feet wide. The delivery truck will need to maneuver a little bit to unload the dumpster. If you have tight quarters, we recommend at least 12 feet wide or more to be on the safe side. Dumpsters vary in length from 15 feet long to 22 feet long. 

Most of our smaller sizes are very low and it is easy to toss your debris over the side. in addition all of to 15 yard through 30 yard dumpsters have a back door (see photo gallery). The entire back side of the dumpster is actually a door that swings open for easy access and loading. 

We will not permit our vehicles to drive on any lawn surface.

This you must plan for. Sometimes what is the best spot for you to load from is not necessarily the best place to place the dumpster. Example, if you are cleaning out the basement and your bulkhead is across the lawn in the back yard, it is not a good idea to try to have the dumpster delivered right next to the bulkhead as it involves the delivery truck driving across the lawn. The best place to drop the dumpster is on a hard level surface (compacted dirt area). Next best would usually be in the driveway. The Dumpster Depot® is one of a very few (if not the only one) companies that offer driveway or property protection solutions. Although some customers may insist on placing the dumpster in a compromising area, our delivery personnel will always suggest what's best and safest. If we have to place the dumpster on the driveway or lawn we will recommend placing large wood planks under it for protection (see the Photo Gallery).  The Dumpster Depot® will not accept any liability for damage done to property (see Terms and Conditions). 

We do not have a drop off facility. Some of our locations do offer a bulk pickup option. Please call to inquire. 

Most often dumpsters that you would see for example behind a shopping center or local business are for trash or garbage. These dumpsters are not at all used for temporary applications to dispose of construction materials, etc. They are for permanent placement and accommodate very light weight material. 

Unfortunately not. The dumpsters only fit onto the delivery trucks one way. When the dumpster arrives, it is rolled off of the delivery truck and set into position. The back door is always faced to the rear (see Photo Gallery). 

Dumpster deliveries are scheduled the morning of the delivery. Deliveries are for the most part set up logistically by computer. If you call client services on the morning of the day your dumpster is to be delivered, we can give you a window of time in which to expect your dumpster. When ordering we will always suggest that you have your dumpster delivered the day prior to when you need to start loading it. This way there is less stress on everybody and you are not hanging around waiting. Proper planning is important (see Helpful Hints). It is very difficult to give exact times due to traffic and waiting at dumping facilities. 

Absolutely not. We try to make the process as convenient as possible. When ordering our client service experts will coordinate a few things with you. Payment can be made at the time of ordering by any major credit or debit card.  You do not need to wait for the dumpster to be delivered. Placement instructions will be taken at the time of the order but you are always welcome to mark the spot out for the dumpster as well. If you have access to a fax or e-mail, you may also draw a diagram for preferred placement if you wish. Actually, most of our customers are not on site when we deliver. We understand that it is not every day that a homeowner receives a dumpster delivery and we have made this process painless and convenient. 

Yes, all dumpsters are prepaid for. Credit and debit card accounts will also be debited for any additional charges that may occur upon removal of the dumpster such as extra weight or extra rental days. Also accounts that may have outstanding balances can not be removed until the account is paid in full. Client services will explain this policy when you order. 

This is difficult. The weight limits used with each size dumpster are very common averages for common materials. If you have items or material that are very heavy this may cause you to go over your limit. If you do go over your limit, you are only charged for the poundage that is actually over. We do not round up to the nearest ton. Try to stay away from items such as dirt, large amounts of ceramic tile, bricks, cement, etc (See Helpful Hints). Client services can help with advice on how to handle heavy items or material. 

While this is sometimes a concern for some customers, there are a few ways to deal with it. Most materials will not be affected by rain meaning it will not absorb water weight. Material such as drywall or plaster, etc. will absorb water and this of course may add weight to the disposal. The dumpsters themselves are not water tight and therefore can not hold liquid of any kind. Snow is also a concern for some customers and they choose to shovel off the snow before we come to remove the dumpster. When we arrive at a disposal/recycling facility, the truck and loaded dumpster are weighed on a drive on scale. After the truck dumps out the dumpster, it is then weighed again. The difference is of course what your material weighed. Wet or dry the weight is the weight. This we have no control over. If your material weighs more than you prepaid for the disposal allowance, you are then billed for the balance. The best advice we give to our customers is this... Prepare in advance if this is a concern and purchase a plastic tarp at your local hardware store. These tarps are very reasonably priced and keep your dumpster covered while you are working on your project. This is a simple and easy way to keep the weather out. There you go, problem solved. 

All dumpsters are to be level loaded only. You can not load the dumpster any higher than the sides of the dumpster. You can not build up the sides with wood, etc. (See Photo Gallery) to accommodate more material. This is very unsafe and our delivery personnel may leave the dumpster on site until you off load it. 

Yes it can, but if you have a lot of this material, we can give you a discounted price on what is called a brush or stump dumpster. You can not mix any trash or construction material what so ever in the load. We can do the same with concrete, dirt or hot top, and pavement. This would be called an aggregate dumpster rental (limited to 15 cubic yards). Pricing for this type of rental would be different than the average construction dumpster. Same rules apply, no trash or construction material, just aggregate. With special rentals such as stumps or aggregate, there are no weight limits unless they are contaminated with trash and revert back to a regular dumpster rental with the allowed disposal allowance for the particular size dumpster that you may have rented. This can be a very costly mistake if you mix large amounts of aggregate with trash and or construction waste. Client services can help with advice on how to avoid potential weight issues. 

If you need a dumpster for asphalt roofing material, we will need to know how many square and layers of the old roofing material are coming off of the house, etc ... this avoids huge additional charges.

There are two reasons really. One reason is that roofing material is very dense. Second is that some disposal facilities can not accommodate this material and or charge a higher rate for disposal.  Your roofing contractor can help you with this. Once we have this information, our computer will calculate how much this should weigh and we can give you the proper size dumpster to accommodate the material along with a disposal weight allowance that will work with that specific job.  Example... A 15 cubic yard dumpster full of basis household or construction material may weigh between 2,000 and 4,000 pounds. The same dumpster full of asphalt shingles can weigh up to 14,000 or 15,000 pounds! Big difference. This is why we want our customers to know in advance what they are in for and approximately what the cost will be. 

No you can not. The Dumpster Depot® does not handle hazardous materials of any kind. If you are unsure, hire a company to have the material tested. If it tests positive, then they will be able to help you handle it. We do not provide this service or handle the material. It is illegal to dispose of this or any other kind of hazardous material in a non-hazardous material dumpster. Please review our terms and conditions. 

Do not assume we will automatically come and take the dumpster away.

Regardless of the term that you rented the dumpster for, as soon as you are physically done, call us. Even if it may be after hours, you can leave a voicemail to have the dumpster removed. Removals are typically picked up within a few business days.
