Be Prepared
Preparing for the Arrival of Your Dumpster
So, you've taken the plunge and ordered a roll-off dumpster, gearing up for the eagerly anticipated delivery day. Below is an all-encompassing guide on how to prepare and what to anticipate:
1. Clear the Way for Your Dumpster:
Although your physical presence isn't mandatory during delivery, our truck will gracefully roll in during regular business hours on your appointed day. Within a mere 10 minutes, we'll expertly park the bin.
2. Define Your Delivery Area:
While our adept driver will locate your designated drop-off spot, visibly marking the area ensures precision in placement. This extra step guarantees that the container lands precisely where you envision.
3. Scrutinize the Area:
Upon arrival, our skilled driver will deftly reverse the truck into your driveway, smoothly releasing the dumpster.
4. Dive into the Task at Hand:
Once the dumpster graces your space, our truck will bid adieu, leaving you free to embark on the debris-disposal journey.
Preparing Your Driveway for Dumpster Delivery:
Ordering a roll-off container brings with it the responsibility of prepping the drop-off spot. Navigate these steps for a seamless delivery:
1. Clear the Path for Your Dumpster Delivery:
Sweep away any impediments by relocating cars and miscellaneous objects from the delivery area and its surroundings. Ensure the selected drop-off spot adheres to specific dimensions—60 feet in length, 10.5 feet in width, and 25-30 feet in height—while remaining unobstructed. Note that failure to do so may incur a fee.
2. Define Your Delivery Area:
While we meticulously record placement instructions, demarcating your desired spot with vibrant tape or markers contributes to foolproof placement. Consider employing plywood to safeguard your driveway from potential blemishes.
3. Review the Area on Your Scheduled Delivery Day:
In anticipation of the scheduled delivery day, verify that the drop-off area remains uncluttered. Potential obstructions may necessitate moving parked cars, and entrance gates should be accessible for a seamless delivery.
Preparing for Street Delivery:
For those lacking driveway space, street delivery is a viable option. Keep these guidelines in mind:
1. Define Your Delivery Spot:
Allocate sufficient street space by strategically placing cones on delivery day, ensuring the immediate area is free of hindrances. Coordination with neighbors to relocate their vehicles might be necessary for a successful container drop-off.
2. Adhere to Local Permitting Requirements:
Street delivery often hinges on acquiring a permit. Anticipate this need by applying in advance, taking into account potential fees and additional stipulations from your municipality.
Preparing for Delivery to a Jobsite:
For deliveries to construction sites, heed the following tips:
Designate a waste area away from equipment and potential obstacles, ensuring accessibility for both delivery and pickup. Communicate any specific placement instructions well in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How long does it take to get a dumpster delivered?
We recommend scheduling at least 3 days in advance, though some areas offer the convenience of same-day or next-day delivery.
2. Is my presence required during delivery?
Physical presence is not mandatory; however, it's crucial to ensure the designated area is free of obstructions on the scheduled day.

A level, paved area on private property is ideal. Driveways are recommended for home projects, while contractors should designate a waste area separate from equipment.

For added protection, consider laying plywood on your driveway during delivery. We offer a driveway protection for $25 on our online rental process. It includes a commercial tarp and rubber mats so that the dumpster never touchers your surface.

The entire maneuver of parking a dumpster takes less than 10 minutes.

Tips for Successful Dumpster Rental, from Delivery to Pickup
Renting a dumpster might seem straightforward, but for those new to working with a roll-off dumpster, it's beneficial to have some guidance to ensure a smooth rental experience. Maximize your dumpster rental period with these essential tips, covering everything from loading techniques to accepted materials and weight limits.
Open Your Dumpster Door to Walk Items Inside:
Utilize the loading door for easy filling. Walk large, heavy items in first and distribute weight evenly. You can also roll items inside using a wheelbarrow.
Only Throw Away Accepted Materials:
Understanding how to load a dumpster is important, but knowing what materials are accepted is equally crucial. Avoid throwing prohibited items to prevent safety and environmental issues, as well as potential disposal fees.
Keep Your Weight Limit in Mind:
Different dumpster sizes have varying weight limits. Stay within the specified limit mentioned in your quote to avoid overage fees.
Avoid Going Over the Fill Line:
Each bin has a fill line; ensure debris doesn't surpass it. Overfilled bins may result in a trip fee if the hauler can't pick it up.
Cover Your Bin When Not in Use:
Use a tarp secured with bungee cords or straps to prevent neighbors from adding items. Covering also protects against rain and snow, preventing additional weight.
Bad Weather Tips:
Cover the bin during bad weather to prevent rain or snow accumulation. This avoids added weight and potential fees. Ensure clear access for pickup in snowy conditions.
Avoid Additional Fees:
Follow rental period tips to avoid extra fees, such as no delivery/pickup, exceeding weight limits, improper filling, late pickups, or containing prohibited items.
Schedule Your Pickup On Time:
Avoid extension fees by scheduling pickup before the rental period ends. Receive email reminders as your rental period approaches completion.

If unforeseen circumstances arise, inform us promptly. If possible, we may extend your rental period for a flat, daily rate.
