Our heavy-duty dumpsters can handle a wide range of materials, including:

Household furniture and appliances (without freon)
Yard waste, branches, and landscaping debris
Construction materials (wood, drywall, siding, shingles)
Renovation debris (flooring, cabinets, countertops)
General household trash and junk
Cardboard and packaging materials
Metal and scrap materials

When in doubt, give us a call and we'll let you know if your specific materials are acceptable!

In compliance with local and federal regulations, we cannot accept the following hazardous or restricted materials:

Absolutely Prohibited:
Paint, solvents, oils, and chemicals
Gasoline, propane tanks, and flammable liquids
Batteries (car, lithium, or household)
Medical waste and biohazards
Any liquids
Hot ash or burned debris

Restricted (Special Handling Required):
Tires (require pre-approval + $15 surcharge each)
Mattresses ($25 surcharge each)
Refrigerators/AC units with freon ($40 surcharge)
Dirt, concrete, or rocks (require clean-material dumpster)

Contamination fees of $150-$350 apply if prohibited items are found in your dumpster.

Appliances without freon (washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers) can go in the dumpster at no additional charge.

Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioning units containing freon require special handling and incur a $40 surcharge per item. This fee covers the environmentally responsible removal and disposal of freon gas as required by EPA regulations.

Please let us know when booking if you'll be disposing of freon appliances so we can note it on your order.

Yes, mattresses and box springs are accepted with a $25 surcharge per item. Many landfills charge special handling fees for mattresses due to recycling requirements, and this surcharge helps cover those costs.

Please inform us when booking if you'll be disposing of mattresses so we can add the appropriate fee to your order.

If prohibited items are discovered in your dumpster, we must remove them before disposal to comply with landfill regulations. This results in a contamination fee of $150-$350 depending on the severity and the items involved.

To avoid these fees, please carefully review our prohibited items list and contact us with any questions before loading your dumpster. We're happy to help you determine if specific items are acceptable!

Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, rocks, bricks, and asphalt require a specialized "clean-material" dumpster due to their extreme weight. These cannot be mixed with regular debris.

If you have a significant amount of these materials, please let us know when booking so we can provide the appropriate container and pricing. We're equipped to handle these projects—we just need to plan accordingly!

The ideal placement location is a flat, hard surface like a driveway, parking lot, or street. The area should be:

Clear of overhead obstructions (power lines, tree branches)
Accessible for our delivery truck (at least 14 feet wide, 23 feet tall clearance)
On a stable, level surface that can support the weight
Free from obstacles like parked cars, mailboxes, or landscaping
Within reach of where you'll be generating debris

When booking, provide detailed placement instructions. Our drivers will follow your directions carefully.

While we take every precaution during delivery and pickup, we cannot be held responsible for driveway damage caused by the weight of the container, especially when fully loaded. Older driveways, asphalt in hot weather, and overloaded containers present higher risk.

To protect your driveway, consider:
Placing plywood boards under the dumpster
Positioning it on a concrete pad or street (with permit)
Avoiding overloading beyond weight limits
Not loading the dumpster on steep inclines

Permit requirements vary by city and county. In most cases:

No Permit Needed: Dumpster on private property (driveway, yard)
Permit Required: Dumpster on public street, right-of-way, or sidewalk

It is the customer's responsibility to obtain any necessary permits from your local municipality before delivery. We're happy to provide guidance on where to obtain permits in your area.

Failure to obtain required permits may result in fines from your city or county—not from us.

Our delivery trucks need adequate clearance to safely place your dumpster:

Width: At least 14 feet wide for truck access
Height: Minimum 23 feet of overhead clearance (watch for power lines, branches)
Length: Approximately 60 feet of straight, unobstructed approach

If your location has limited access, let us know when booking. We'll work with you to find the best solution, though some tight locations may not be accessible with our trucks.

If our driver cannot access the dumpster for pickup due to blocked access, a locked gate, parked vehicles, or other obstructions, a $150 dry-run fee will apply. The pickup will need to be rescheduled once the obstruction is cleared.

To avoid this fee:
Keep the area around the dumpster clear
Don't park vehicles blocking access
Ensure gates are unlocked on pickup day
Remove any items placed on top of the dumpster lid
Don't overload beyond the top rail

Absolutely! Just give us a call when your dumpster is ready for pickup, and we'll schedule it as soon as possible. Please note that early pickups do not result in refunds for unused rental days—the base rental fee covers the full 7-day period regardless of when pickup occurs.

Dumpsters should not be moved by the customer once delivered. Our containers are extremely heavy and can damage property or cause injury if moved improperly.

If you need the dumpster relocated to a different spot on your property, call us and we'll send a truck to move it safely. A relocation fee of $75-$150 applies depending on the distance and difficulty of the move.

Never attempt to drag, tow, or push the dumpster yourself!

All our dumpster rentals include allotted tonnage of waste disposal in the base price. If your debris weighs more than this, overage fees per additional ton apply.

We provide weight tickets after disposal so you can see the exact weight of your load. This transparency ensures you're only charged for what you actually dispose of.

Most household junk and construction debris from typical projects fall well within the allotted limit. However, certain materials are much heavier:

Heavy Materials (likely to exceed limit):
Concrete, asphalt, bricks, dirt, rocks
Roofing shingles in large quantities
Full dumpsters of wet materials or soil

Lighter Materials (usually under limit):
Wood, drywall, general household items
Furniture, carpet, packaging materials
Yard waste, branches, general trash

When in doubt, call us and describe your project—we can give you an estimate based on similar jobs we've handled.

No. For safety and legal reasons, all debris must be loaded below the top rail of the dumpster. Overflow loading creates hazards during transport and may violate DOT regulations.

If debris extends above the top rail, an overflow fee of $50-$150 will apply, and we may need to remove excess material before transport. To avoid this, either don't overfill your dumpster or order a larger size if needed.

When loading, pack items tightly and break down large items to maximize space.

Get the most out of your dumpster rental with these loading tips:

Break down large items: Disassemble furniture, flatten boxes, break apart large pieces
Load heavy items first: Place dense materials on the bottom
Fill gaps: Use smaller items to fill voids and maximize space
Distribute weight evenly: Don't pile all heavy materials on one side
Load flat: Keep debris level rather than creating a mound
Place items carefully: Don't just throw everything in haphazardly

Efficient loading can often save you from needing a larger (and more expensive) dumpster!
