Frequently Asked Questions

The pricing is influenced by several factors, including the size of the roll-off dumpster, the type of materials being disposed of (with heavier materials potentially incurring higher costs), and the distance to the nearest landfill or transfer station. Geography plays a role in pricing as well, as specific city fees, landfill expenses, and overall service provision costs can contribute to the overall pricing structure.

The weight of your dumpster significantly influences the cost, as landfills typically charge per ton. Once we collect your container, your debris is weighed at the landfill, and the cost is determined according to their fee structure.

Simplify your budgeting with our flat-rate pricing, encompassing disposal costs for a specified weight limit. As long as you stay within that limit, you’ll have a clear upfront understanding of your expenses—no need to speculate or wait until your debris reaches the landfill.

Yes, each of our roll-off dumpsters has a specified weight limit based on its size and capacity. These weight limits are designed to ensure safe transportation and disposal of waste materials. It’s important to adhere to these weight limits to avoid overloading the dumpster, which can lead to transportation issues and potential safety hazards. When you rent a dumpster from us, we will provide you with the weight limit for your selected container and offer guidance on how to load it properly while staying within the specified limits.

While it is unlikely our dumpster will damage your driveway we recommend placing plywood down for extra protection.

Upon arrival at the landfill, the dumpster is weighed, and the process is repeated after the debris is emptied. The variance between these two weights is then employed to calculate the weight of your debris and determine the disposal cost.

We’ll inquire about the items you’re discarding to assess the weight of your debris. This enables us to recommend the appropriate bin size for your project. Additionally, you can utilize our dumpster weight calculators for a preliminary estimate.

Although the typical dumpster truck has the capacity to carry around 10 tons or 20,000 pounds, weight restrictions commonly range from 2 to 6 tons or 4,000 to 12,000 pounds to ensure secure transportation.

Our dumpsters are typically rented for 7-10 days.  If you need the bin for longer please discuss it with your representative as we can tailor the rental to best suit your project.

Identify a fairly level space with a minimum of 3 feet of clearance on all sides of the dumpster. Ensure there’s at least 22 feet of unobstructed overhead clearance and 34 feet of open space in front for a truck to facilitate pickup. When utilizing a paved driveway, it’s advisable to consider covering it or placing wood beneath the dumpster to mitigate the risk of damage.

Generally it takes less than 15 minutes for our drivers to drop your dumpster.

While it is not required for you to be present at the time of delivery,  we recommend it if you have any specific requirements regarding placement of the bin.

For optimal placement of your roll-off dumpster, a level, paved section on private property is ideal. If you’re working on home projects, your driveway is a great choice. Contractors should designate a waste area separate from equipment or large debris. We’ll assist you in selecting the perfect location when you make your order.

We’re unable to provide an exact delivery time due to our drivers’ routes being optimized for fuel efficiency to minimize costs. Possible delays could arise at the landfill, previous drop-off points, or due to traffic. Expect your dumpster between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on your scheduled delivery date.

It’s generally recommended to keep roofing materials separate from other types of debris to facilitate recycling and proper disposal. Mixing materials may also affect the weight limits or incur additional fees.

In many areas, you may need a permit to place a dumpster on the street or public right-of-way. However, if you’re placing the dumpster on your property, a permit may not be required. It’s advisable to check with your local municipality or the dumpster rental company for specific permit requirements in your area.

This differs among cities. Even if a permit is unnecessary for keeping a bin in your driveway, your city may have specific dumpster placement regulations, including duration restrictions. Time limits typically range from a few days to a month in most areas, with our standard rental period averaging seven to 10 days.

Occasionally, certain towns mandate residents to obtain a permit prior to the delivery of a roll-off dumpster to their driveway. In instances where the dumpster is placed in a driveway or on private property, the city or Homeowners Association seeks confirmation that it is a temporary addition to the property. Verification may also be necessary to ascertain the purpose of the dumpster rental, especially if it is associated with other projects requiring building permits.

Your government office may request information such as the rental period dates, a traffic control plan (if necessary), and details about the project. Additionally, you might be required to submit a diagram illustrating the planned placement location of the roll-off dumpster.

Every municipality has its regulations. The time constraints on a dumpster permit depend on the location and the nature of the work being undertaken. Generally, time limits can span from a few days to a month. Our customers typically opt for an average rental period of seven to 10 days.

The permissibility of placing a dumpster on the street depends on your town’s ordinance or your Homeowners Association’s regulations. Budget Dumpster can deliver a bin to the street as long as the customer obtains any required permit in advance. If a dumpster permit for street placement is necessary and not obtained before our arrival, the driver will refrain from delivering the bin, and a fee will be incurred. It’s important to be aware that we are unable to drop off a dumpster on a street with a steep incline.

Failure to possess the required permit during delivery may lead the driver to opt against dropping off the bin, resulting in a trip fee imposed by Bargain Dumpster. If the bin is delivered without the necessary permit, your city may issue a citation and instruct the removal of the bin. Additionally, if Bargain Dumpster has to relocate your roll-off dumpster due to your fault, a trip fee will be incurred on your part.

While fees for permits vary by location and the type of project.  Generally, they run less than $200.

Should your city’s municipal code mandate a dumpster placement permit, obtaining one is a prerequisite before we can proceed with your rental delivery. This permit serves two primary purposes: A) Allowing the use of property that isn’t yours, and B) permitting the placement of a dumpster in your driveway, provided specific requirements are met.

Placing your bin in the street can result in the obstruction of parking spaces and/or necessitate a lane closure, requiring city resources for management. Consequently, some cities stipulate the need for a permit for street placement of dumpsters. This permit essentially establishes an agreement between you and the city, aiming to minimize public inconvenience while working in the right-of-way.

It’s advisable to verify any potential restrictions imposed by Homeowner’s Associations before finalizing your dumpster rental and selecting a placement location.

Typically, dumpster permits are necessary only when situating your roll-off dumpster on a street, sidewalk, or any public area. If you choose to place it in your driveway or a privately owned space, a street permit is usually not required.  If you have specific placement requirements be sure to discuss them with your representative.

While it’s not mandatory for you to be present during the delivery and pick-up of the dumpster, we recommend that you or a designated representative be available if possible. Being present ensures that you can provide clear instructions on the precise placement of the dumpster, such as in your driveway or on your property. However, if you’re unable to be there, our experienced drivers can often place the dumpster accurately based on the information you provide during the rental process. Rest assured that our team is committed to ensuring a hassle-free experience for our customers, whether you’re present or not.

Our standard rental periods typically range from 7 to 14 days, providing ample time for most projects. However, we understand that projects can have varying timelines.
