To prepare for dumpster delivery, just make sure your drop off-location is clear and accessible to our driver. We typically deliver dumpsters between 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. on weekdays, but this depends on your location and our availability, so you don't need to be present for delivery.

If you'd like to mark an exact delivery spot for our driver, you're welcome to put down plywood, cones or other indicators, but it's not necessary.

To prepare for dumpster pickup, please make sure your dumpster is accessible and not overloaded with debris. Nothing should be sticking out the top or sides of the bin. Move any cars and open gates to ensure our driver can easily pick up your dumpster and drive away.

You don't need to be present for dumpster pickup as your dumpster can be removed at any time throughout the day.

For example, if a dumpster exceeds the agreed-upon weight limit or if a dumpster is overfilled, overage charges may apply. See a full list of dumpster rental fees and how to avoid them.
