How do I choose the right dumpster size for my project?
It depends on the debris and the size of the job. Small cleanouts and bathroom updates often fit in a 10 or 15 yard dumpster, while larger renovations often need 20 or 30 yards. Describe your project when you call, and ask the provider to confirm the size.
What can not go in a dumpster?
Prohibited items vary by provider. Hazardous items such as paint, oil, batteries, tires and flammable liquids are commonly not allowed. Ask the dumpster provider for their full list before delivery.
Can I put the dumpster on my driveway?
Many people place a dumpster on a driveway, which keeps the street clear. Ask the provider about placement and protecting your surface. Some towns require a permit for street placement, so check with your town.
How soon can a dumpster be delivered?
Timing depends on the provider and your address. Call (855) 382-2879 with your zip code and the dates you want, and we will connect you with a provider who serves your town.
Can I fill the dumpster above the rim?
Most providers ask that debris stay at or below the rim, because overfilled dumpsters often cannot be hauled. Ask your provider about their rules and any extra charges.
Who handles insurance and permits?
This site is a referral service and does not provide insurance or permits. Ask the dumpster provider what applies to your rental, and ask your town whether a permit is needed.
How do I prepare my site for delivery?
Clear a straight path and a flat, solid spot for the dumpster, such as a driveway. Move vehicles, low branches and loose items out of the way. Ask the provider what space they need.
What if I need the dumpster longer?
Ask the provider about extra days before you book. Rental periods and terms vary by provider.
