Frequently Asked Questions

We are happy to accomidate early pick ups and understand that extenuating circumstances may require you to need some extra time. Dumpsters kept past the rental period is charged a small late fee of $30 per additional week.

The size of a dumpster you need is not only going to be determined by the amount of waste you are disposing, but also what type of waste it is. Dirt and rock, for example, weigh significantly more than other construction debris or household trash, and therefore you will need a smaller container so the truck can handle the weight of the haul.

You are not permitted to fill the dumpster with materials that exceed the top of the container. Additionally, common materials that aren’t allowed in dumpsters include (but are not limited) to:

• Hazardous Waste
• Concrete
• Dirt
• Barrels
• All Liquids
• Antifreeze
• Dead Animals

Whether or not you can put a dumpster on the street depends on the area and the laws of your local municipalities. Check with your local municipality to find out whether a license is required in your area. For example, you must obtain a Street Use permit before your dumpster is delivered and placed on a street in Seattle, Washington. This only pertains to residential use, however. When placing dumpsters in the public right-of-way for commercial purposes, you will need a Commercial Use permit instead. For more information, check out the rules and regulations for your city or county.

In most cases, a dumpster can be delivered as soon as the next day if it is ordered before noon in the applicable time zone, Monday through Friday. A rush fee may be applicable for all next day orders called in after 12:00 p.m. noon and/or for Saturday deliveries. If a dumpster is needed any sooner, call us at 504-900-1912 and we will do our best to have the container delivered when you need it. However, please be aware that delivery times are not guaranteed. If a dumpster is required in the morning, we strongly recommend scheduling the delivery for the day before you plan to use it.

We are happy to switch out your full dumpster for another empty one. Please note that the price is the same for each dumpster rental.
