How Should I Prepare for Delivery?

1
Create Space
Clear 60 feet of space in your driveway or street. Move cars, equipment, and any obstacles. Don't forget: Unlock gates for our driver!
2
Check Overhead
We need 23-25 feet of vertical clearance. Trim low branches or choose a different spot.

No Need to Wait
You don't need to be present! We deliver all day and follow fuel-efficient routes.
4
Start Your Project
Load through the door or toss over the sides. Keep prohibited items out to avoid fees.
What Materials Our General Debris Dumpster Accept?
We accept a wide variety of materials in our general debris dumpsters, with some limitations. Here’s what you can and cannot dispose of in our roll-off containers.
Accepted Materials
- Construction debris (wood, metal, stucco, tile, drywall, glass)
- Yard waste
- Office waste
- Metal items
- General non-hazardous waste
- Household furniture, appliances, electronics (extra fees apply)
Not Allowed
- No inert materials: concrete, brick, dirt, asphalt, logs/trunks
- No rebar over 3 inches protruding
- No oversized pieces (must be under 3 feet)
- Hazardous: Paint, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, medical waste
- Flammable: Gasoline, oil, propane tanks, aerosol cans, fireworks
- Special Items: Large tree stumps, railroad ties
- No overfilling the dumpster
- Important: Inert materials (dirt, concrete, bricks, asphalt) are not allowed in general debris dumpsters
Important: General Debris Only
Use a separate dumpster for concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt. Mixing inert materials with regular debris reclassifies the load as general debris, which is subject to strict weight limits (e.g., 1 ton for a 10-yard dumpster). Overweight charges will apply if the load exceeds the general debris weight limit. Our inert-material dumpsters have no weight limits, but mixing materials will cause extra charges.

Accepted items include construction debris (wood, drywall, metal), household furniture, appliances (extra fees), office waste, and yard waste. No inert materials like concrete, dirt, or brick allowed.
Inert materials like concrete and dirt make the large dumpster extremely heavy and unsafe for transportation. We reserve the right to refuse pickup if weight exceeds safe limits. Use our inert material dumpsters instead.
