RULES WHEN RENTING DUMPSTERS
1. Keep prohibited items out.
Roll-off dumpsters can contain a lot of construction debris; however, some kinds of debris are prohibited, such as those that are hazardous, flammable, explosive, and bulky. These types of trash need to be disposed of separately from other kinds of construction debris. To help keep prices low for our customers and for safety reasons, we do not allow these prohibited items in our products.
2. Never move products.
Our roll-off dumpsters are made of high-quality steel; therefore, they are heavy and should not be treated lightly when needing to move it. Our workers are specifically trained to not damage your property or ours when placing down or picking up a dumpster; therefore, only our workers should ever be moving them. This is why it is so important to choose your dumpster spot carefully, so we place it where it needs to be. If something happens where it needs to be moved, let us know and our workers will come out and move it for you.
3. Do not overfill the dumpster.
Dumpsters are meant to be filled but not over filled. We need to be able to transport the containers filled with your construction debris to a landfill or other proper waste removal facility, so the debris needs to fit nicely inside the container.
4. Load items with caution.
Dumpsters contain a lot of sharp and bulky construction debris, like concrete. Falling into a dumpster filled with this debris would be painful, so we advise anyone renting from us and their workers to make sure they are cautious when loading materials into the roll-off dumpster as to not accidentally fall into it. Also, make sure children and pets are stay away from the area because they might get curious and fall while attempting to look into it.
FAQS
- Dumpster fires can be an inconvenience or worse – dangerous. And, while dumpster fires are not common, they can happen, especially if people are careless around them.
- To minimize the risk of a dumpster fire breaking out, make sure workers are aware that flammable and explosive items should never be thrown into any kind of waste removal container. (This is why we have made these items prohibited in add in extra fee for those who do not follow it because it is dangerous). We also ask that you make sure workers aware that they should never smoke in the direct vicinity of a roll off dumpster. A partially lit cigarette flipped off into the dumpster can cause it to ignite.
- In the case that a dumpster fire does break out, we suggest that you minimize the risk of a dumpster fire spreading by making sure no materials or leaned up against it and the roll off dumpster is not directly next to a building.

- Being prepared for renting a roll-off dumpster is as simple as knowing what project you need a dumpster for and how much space you have for a dumpster to be placed at the project’s worksite. If you know these two things, you will be able to get your roll-off dumpster reserved quickly and smoothly. The sooner the roll-off dumpster is reserved, the sooner it gets delivered and you can get to work, disposing of all your construction debris into the container.
