Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is a roll-off dumpster?

A roll-off dumpster is a large, open-top waste container that is delivered by a special truck and placed at your location. It has wheels on the bottom and can be rolled into position. You fill it with your debris, and we come to pick it up and haul it away when you're done.

No problem — give us a call. We can swap out your dumpster for a larger one or arrange a second pickup and re-delivery. We'll work with you to make sure your project gets done.

How many tons can a dumpster hold?

Weight limits vary by size. Overweight fees apply when loads exceed the limit. We're always transparent about weight limits upfront when you call. Heavy materials like concrete fill up weight limits quickly, so call us to discuss before loading.

Delivery & Pickup

How does dumpster delivery work?

Our driver will deliver your roll-off dumpster using a specialized roll-off truck. We'll place it in your specified location — driveway, parking lot, or other flat surface. The whole process usually takes about 15 minutes.

Can you place the dumpster on my driveway?

Yes — most driveways can handle our dumpsters. We can also place boards underneath the dumpster to protect the surface. Just let us know your preferences when you call.

Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?

Not necessarily — as long as we have clear access to the placement location and specific placement instructions, we can drop off and pick up without you being present. We'll confirm all details by phone.
