Dumpster Prices
What does the price include?
Our dumpster rental pricing includes:
- Delivery and pickup
- A weight allowance for disposal
- A set rental period
All waste is disposed of by local and state laws at a fully licensed disposal facility.
How much does it cost to rent a dumpster?
Pricing depends on several factors, including:
- Dumpster size
- Type of debris
- Weight of debris
- Project location
- Length of the rental
We offer flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Contact us for a free, accurate quote based on your project needs.
Is there an extra charge for excess weight?
Yes. If the total weight of your debris exceeds the included tonnage stated in your order, an overage fee will apply based on our disposal facility’s per-ton rate. We only pass along the actual cost incurred, no markups.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. At this time, we do not accept cash, checks, or money orders.
How do I pay for my dumpster rental?
Payment is typically required when placing your order and can be completed over the phone using a credit card.
How much does a construction dumpster rental cost?
Construction dumpsters are typically more expensive than residential containers due to higher disposal costs. Prices generally range from $285 to $1,068, depending on dumpster size, location, and debris type. Call us for a custom quote.
Materials
Are there any materials that incur extra disposal fees?
Yes. Some items may carry additional disposal fees at the landfill. These include:
- Mattresses
- Tires
- Electronics (e-waste)
- Items containing freon (e.g., refrigerators, AC units)
Any applicable dump fees will be communicated and passed on at cost.
How is debris weight calculated?
Your dumpster’s weight is measured using certified scales at the disposal facility. The truck is weighed full (gross weight), then again after unloading (tare weight). The difference between the two is your debris weight. State-certified systems regulate these measurements.
What materials are prohibited?
The following materials are not allowed in our dumpsters:
- Hazardous waste or chemicals
- Paints, solvents, or flammable liquids
- Oil, antifreeze, or contaminated soil
- Propane tanks or aerosol cans
- Appliances containing freon
- Batteries, fluorescent tubes, or electronics
- Medical waste
- Asbestos, railroad ties, or animal remains
- Any liquids or industrial waste
Improper disposal of these items may result in fines or additional charges. Please get in touch with us if you’re unsure whether a material is accepted.
Features
Are there weight limits on my dumpster?
Yes, each dumpster comes with a specific weight limit based on its size. Staying within that limit ensures you won’t incur additional charges. If your debris exceeds the weight allowance outlined in your quote, overage fees will apply. Not sure what you need? Call us at (610) 679-8449, and we’ll guide you.
Do dumpsters have doors?
Yes. All of our roll-off dumpsters include a rear-hinged door that swings open. This makes it easier to walk heavy items into the dumpster and load it efficiently from the ground.
What size dumpster do I need?
The ideal dumpster size depends on your project. A small home renovation might only require a 10-yard dumpster, while larger construction projects could need a 30- or 40-yard bin. To choose the right size, give our customer service team a call, and we’ll help you make the best decision for your needs.
Is there a proper way to load a dumpster?
Yes. For safety and efficiency, always load your dumpster evenly. Do not overfill or allow materials to stick out above the rim. The hauler may refuse overloaded dumpsters, which could result in extra fees or delays in pickup.
Can I put anything in a dumpster?
No. While most construction debris, household junk, and yard waste are accepted, hazardous or flammable materials are strictly prohibited. This includes items like chemicals, oils, paint, propane tanks, and certain electronics. Please get in touch with us if you’re unsure about a specific item.
How should I load my dumpster?
All materials should be placed inside the dumpster—nothing should hang over the edges or stick out. This ensures safe transport and pickup. Overfilled dumpsters may be rejected by the driver, resulting in additional charges or rescheduling fees.
Do I need a permit for my dumpster?
Permits are generally required if the dumpster will be placed on public property, such as a sidewalk, street, or right-of-way. We recommend contacting your local municipality or public works office to confirm permit requirements. Rules can vary by city, even within the same county.
Scheduling
When will my dumpster be delivered?
Deliveries typically occur between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekdays, depending on availability and route scheduling. While we aim to accommodate your preferences, exact delivery times are not guaranteed due to the dynamic nature of our daily routes.
Do I need to be present during delivery or pickup?
No, you don’t need to be on-site. As long as we have clear delivery instructions, the driver will drop off the dumpster in your designated spot. For pickup, ensure the area around the dumpster is accessible and unobstructed.
Will my dumpster be picked up automatically?
No. Roll-off dumpsters are not picked up automatically. You must contact us to schedule your pickup, ideally at least one week in advance. If we’re not notified by the end of your rental period, daily rental fees will begin to apply.
Can I relocate the dumpster after delivery?
Relocation after drop-off is not recommended. If the dumpster must be moved, additional relocation charges may apply. Please provide accurate delivery placement instructions at the time of your order.
What if access is blocked during pickup?
Customers must ensure the dumpster is easily accessible when we arrive for pickup. If access is blocked or the area is obstructed, a wasted trip fee may be charged.
Roll-Off vs. Front-Load Dumpsters
What’s the difference between roll-off and front-load dumpsters?
- Roll-Off Dumpsters are large, open-top containers used for short-term projects like renovations, construction, yard work, or cleanouts. Rental periods typically range from 7 to 14 days.
- Front-Load Dumpsters are smaller, lidded containers used for ongoing commercial trash service. These bins are serviced on a recurring schedule weekly, biweekly, or monthly and are ideal for businesses, offices, and multi-family properties.
