Frequently Asked Questions

Will my dumpster have a door that swings open?

Yes, your dumpster will have a hinged door that will swing open. The door of the dumpster sits at the back end of the truck.

​What is the weight of an empty dumpster?

An empty dumpster weighs between 3,500 lbs. (10 yard dumpster) and 6,500 lbs. (40 yard dumpster). The weight of the dumpster itself does not affect pricing. Rather, ONLY THE WEIGHT OF THE MATERIALS PLACED IN THE DUMPSTER AFFECTS PRICING.

Does the dumpster have a cover or lid?

No, our roll-off dumpster rentals do not include any type of cover or lid. We highly recommend using a tarp secured with bungee cords to cover the dumpster to help keep out unnecessary weight from precipitation and unwanted debris from nearby residents.

Will I be billed for extra weight?

Yes, if the weight of the materials in your dumpster exceeds the included weight quoted in your order confirmation, you will be charged for the additional weight at the specified tonnage rate. We are charged by weight at the disposal facility and we pass along this charge accordingly.

Do I need a dumpster permit?

Dumpster permits are typically only required when placing a dumpster on public property such as a street, easement, or sidewalk.
Please contact your local township office or public works department to determine exact permit requirements for your specific situation. Permit requirements can vary within the same town based on placement specifics!

What does the price include?

The price of a dumpster rental includes a one-time delivery and removal for the selected roll off dumpster, a disposal weight allowance, and a stated rental period. All waste will be disposed of in a fully approved and licensed disposal facility.

​What if my dumpster is full and I need another dumpster?

Please call us at 267-902-3867 or contact us if you need your dumpster emptied and returned to you. There will be repeat charge equal to the amount paid for your previous dumpster.
