What is your cancellation of a dumpster rental or rescheduling policy?

Dumpster Container Rental Placement and Usage
Q.
Where Can I Place the Dumpster?
A.We recommend placing the container on a dry, level surface, that will ensure easy access for the driver to remove the container when you are finished. If planning to place the dumpster in a driveway, we recommend covering the surface with plywood to prevent any damage. If using the street, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to obtain any necessary town or borough permits. For Philadelphia residents, please see the link below to obtain a permit. Dumpsters can also be placed on lawns, but be advised that this option will likely result in some damage to the lawn due to the weight of the dumpster.

Q.
How much space is needed for placement?
A.Our dumpsters are compact by design—especially the 10-yard—so they fit most residential driveways, tight alleys, and narrow job sites in Philadelphia. If your space is tight, call us and we'll walk you through placement options.
Q.
What can I put in the dumpster?
A.You can dispose of typical construction debris: wood, drywall, metal, roofing shingles, and general household junk.

Q.
What Can I Not Put in the Dumpster?
A.Unacceptable waste includes hazardous, toxic, flammable (propane tanks), medical, or infectious waste, asbestos, paint, tires, and freon.
Dirt, brick and concrete are all acceptable materials but when mixed with trash can very easily put you over the tonnage capacity. Please separate whenever possible. If you need a dumpster for clean fill or concrete, please let us know.
