Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of notice do I need to give when ordering my dumpster?
Most of the time we will be able to deliver a dumpster the same day or within 24 hours of ordering, however, it is suggested dumpsters are ordered as far in advance as possible.
Do I need to be there when the dumpster is delivered?
Yes. The customer must be on site when the dumpster is delivered unless prior arrangements are made concerning placement at location , service agreement signing, and payment.
What type of area should I allow for placement of the dumpster?
Property Lines & City Property
We are not responsible for neighboring property; it is the customer’s responsibility to determine property lines. We will not purposely cross other property lines without a signed “property damage liability waiver form” from the property owner. Our drivers have the right to deny placement in areas that they deem “unsafe”. Check with proper authorities if you want the dumpster placed on a public street.
Property Damage
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for damage done due to placement, rental period, or pickup of our containers.
The containers are heavy and so are the trucks they are hauled on. We would prefer to place the containers on hard surfaces. Lawns may appear dry, but often with rain, the containers or our trucks can sink into the ground. Asphalt driveways can have divots left in them from the weight of the containers during hot weather. Often putting a piece of plywood down for the container to sit on will cut down on possible scratching or scarring of driveways, or ruts in dirt.
When will you pickup the dumpster from the service location?
The dumpster will be retrieved in the afternoon on the 7th day of your initial rental period, unless agreed upon a longer time period.
If unforeseen circumstances mean that you are not finished with the dumpster, you should contact us as soon as possible. We are very flexible provided the dumpster hasn’t been ordered out on another job.
You will be charged an additional daily fee for up to 30 days.
If you should need the dumpster past 30 days, a new rental period will begin along with the rental fee and new rental agreement.
