Find answers to common questions about our roll-off dumpster rental services.

Yes, all of our Roll-Off dumpsters have a hinged door that will swing open. The door of the dumpster sits at the back end of the truck.

An empty dumpster weighs between 3,500 lbs. (10-yard dumpster) and 6,500 lbs. (40-yard dumpster). The weight of the dumpster itself does not affect pricing. Rather, ONLY THE WEIGHT OF THE MATERIALS PLACED IN THE DUMPSTER AFFECTS PRICING.

Our trucks have a weighted tarp attached to the back of the truck that the driver will use to cover the dumpster before taking to the land fill. Make sure there isn't anything sticking or poking out of the dumpster that could tear the tarp or fly out.

15 yd – 16'L x 8'W x 5'H
23 yd – 18'L x 6'W x 6'H
30 yd – 22'L x 6'W x 6'H
40 yd – 22'L x 7'W x 8'H

The truck drives onto a scale at the disposal facility where an initial weight is recorded (gross weight). The truck then empties the dumpster. Next, the truck drives onto a second scale that records the weight of the truck and the empty dumpster (tare weight). The difference between the first and second weights (gross – tare) is the weight of the debris in the dumpster. The scales are regulated by state bureaus of weights and measures.

Mattresses and box springs are $50 each. Tires and wheels are $45 each.

The price of a dumpster rental includes delivery and a one-time tonnage allowance for the selected size roll-off dumpster: a 15yd includes up to 2 tons and $50 per ton over; 23yd, 30yd, and 40yd include up to 3 tons and $50 per ton overage and a stated rental period. All waste will be disposed of in a fully approved and licensed disposal facility.

Although driveway damage is unlikely, please be aware of the possibility of damage caused by the weight of the dumpster and the contents placed in the dumpster.

We recommend ordering at least 24 hours in advance to ensure we have a dumpster available. But we will work hard to meet your needs.

We accept all major credit/debit cards (Visa, Master Card, and Discover). Credit card payment can be made online or over the phone. Your credit card will be charged at the time of scheduling. If needed first thing in the morning, delivery should be scheduled the day prior, but we will work hard to accommodate your needs.

You may cancel or change an order by calling us at 423-541-3999 Monday through Friday 8am – 5pm.

Please call us on 423-541-3999 if you need your dumpster emptied and returned to you. There will be a fee for empty and return depending on size and location of the dumpster.

Our standard rental period is 7/10 days. Extended rental fees will apply when keeping the dumpster longer than the included rental period. The included rental period and applicable extended rental fee is always disclosed in our quotes. Be sure to ask about the rental time included and extended rental fees when pricing a dumpster rental!

Yes, you need to let us know when to remove the dumpster. We do not automatically remove the dumpster at the end of the included rental period. You can schedule removal by calling 423-541-3999 Monday – Friday 8am- 5pm.

If you want to modify the date your roll off dumpster rental is picked up, please call 423-541-3999 we will be happy to assist you.

Homeowners and contractors use roll-off dumpsters for a variety of projects, from heavy debris removal to waste disposal and household cleanup. Typical projects include home and office cleanouts, renovations, demolition, construction jobs, landscaping projects, and more.

Yes, you can order as many dumpsters as needed to complete your cleanup. We can deliver multiple containers to your worksite, whether you need several dumpsters at one location or one bin at multiple jobsites.
