How soon can I get a dumpster delivered?
We'll typically deliver a dumpster within five business days of placing your order. However, the exact delivery date depends on our delivery schedules and the containers we have available when you contact us. We recommend reaching out ahead of time to ensure you get the dumpster size you need.
How are dumpster prices determined?
Our dumpster prices are determined by a number of factors that can cause the cost to vary, including:
Location: Fuel costs, landfill prices and local disposal regulations can affect pricing.
Debris Type: Some materials cost more to dispose of than others, particularly if there are recycling or sorting regulations in your region.
Availability: Dumpster demands vary throughout the year, which can impact current prices.
Rental Period: Generally, rental periods are 7-10 days. If you need the container longer, reach out to see what the daily rate is for each additional day.
Weight: Our bundled rates include a set weight limit for your rental. This means you don't have to know the exact weight of your debris when you place an order.
Facility Fees: Facilities have a number of potential charges that range from local taxes to special debris disposal fees.
Do I need any permits to rent a dumpster?
You typically only need a dumpster permit if the container won't be placed on private property. Visit the city of Cambridge's website to apply for a Dumpster Permit if you need to place it on a road, sidewalk or alley.
Where does my dumpster's trash go?
The Weston Transfer Station, 195 Church Street, is a common facility where trash is taken. We also use the Howard Transfer Station, located at 66 Norfolk Avenue.
Is any debris prohibited in Cambridge?
Flammable, toxic and hazardous waste are always prohibited from dumpsters for safety reasons. Local landfills may also have specific guidelines, but don't stress. We'll go over any particular circumstances when you contact us.
Our range of dumpster types are ideal for a variety of debris types, including:
To learn more about prohibited items, give us a call at 857-504-6902.
What size dumpster should I rent?
The size you need depends on the type and amount of debris you toss. Our most rented dumpster size is a 20 yard roll off container. This size is great for a wide range of projects and accepts most waste types. Plus, it has dimensions small enough to fit in an average driveway.
How am I invoiced for my dumpster?
You’ll receive an invoice via email. The price will be the bundled rate that combines delivery, pickup, disposal, local taxes and a covered weight limit into one price. If you toss a prohibited item, exceed the weight limit or anything else that results in a fee, you'll receive a second invoice in your email detailing those charges.
