What can't go in the dumpster?
No refrigerators, dehumidifiers or air conditioners unless the Freon is removed and the unit is tagged. No flammables, chemicals or wet paint. Tires and certain large items carry a small fee. See the full list on our What Can Go in a Dumpster page.
Are there limits on heavy materials like shingles or concrete?
Yes. Heavy loads such as roofing, concrete and drywall should only fill the dumpster 1/2 to 3/4 full. If dump fees for a heavy load go over half the rental price, the difference is charged to the card on file.
How do I pay?
We take a credit card up front to book. Any extra charges are billed to that card after the dump. You can also pay the driver with cash or check at drop-off.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?
Our drivers place the dumpster carefully. Many customers lay down plywood boards under the rails for extra protection, especially on fresh asphalt or in hot weather. Tell us about your driveway on the quote form and we will plan the drop.
Do I need a permit?
Not if the dumpster sits on your own driveway or property. If it has to go on a city street, check with your city or township first, since some require a permit.
