How much weight is included, and what if I go over?
The 20 yard includes 2 tons and the 30 yard includes 3 tons. That covers most residential jobs. If a load comes in over the allowance, extra weight is $75 per ton, billed on the weight recorded at the landfill. It is the only weight charge there is.
How long do I get to keep the dumpster?
5 days are included in the flat rate for both sizes, starting the day we drop it. If your project runs long, extra days are $25 per day. Call or text before your pickup date and we will just extend it — there is no rebooking fee and no new quote.
Where can you put the dumpster on my property?
Driveways, yards and jobsites all work. The truck needs a straight run to back in and roll the container off, plus clear space overhead — power lines and low limbs are the usual problem, not the ground. Worried about a finished driveway? Say so when we confirm the booking. If you are not sure the spot will work, text a photo of it to (256) 939-7179 and Derik will tell you before the truck leaves the yard.
What can I not put in the dumpster?
The landfill will not take: hazardous waste & chemicals, paint & solvents, tires, batteries, freon appliances (fridges, ac units), medical waste, asbestos. Everything else on a normal cleanout — furniture, appliances without freon, construction debris, shingles, yard waste, drywall, carpet — is fine. If you are unsure about one item, ask us first; it is a lot cheaper than a rejected load.
How do I get it picked up when I am done?
Call or text (256) 939-7179 and tell us it is ready. You do not have to wait out the full 5 days — if you finish on day two, we will come get it on day two. Make sure nothing is stacked above the top rail so the load can be tarped legally, and leave the same access the truck used on delivery.
