How Should I Prepare for Delivery?
Once you've ordered your 5 yard dumpster, follow these four simple steps for a seamless 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.
3
No Need to Wait
We deliver all day. You don't need to be present though being there would help greatly for some job sites.
4
Start Your Project
Load through the door or toss over the sides. Keep prohibited items out to avoid fees.
What Materials Our Dumpster Accept ?
Accepted Materials
Important: Only concrete, dirt, brick, and asphalt are allowed in heavy material dumpsters. No other materials are permitted.
Golden Rule for Heavy Materials
Use a separate dumpster for concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt. Mixing heavy materials with regular debris reclassifies the load as general debris, which is subject to strict weight limits (e.g., 0.5 ton for a 5-yard dumpster). Overweight charges will apply if the load exceeds the general debris weight limit. Our heavy-material dumpsters have no weight limits, but mixing materials will cause extra charges.
When Do Extra Fees Apply?

Still have questions?
Here's what most businesses ask before getting started
Yes! Our heavy material dumpsters have no weight restrictions for accepted materials (dirt, concrete, bricks, asphalt). This is what sets us apart from standard dumpster rentals. Load as much as fits safely within the container.
Yes, you can mix concrete, dirt, bricks, and asphalt. A small additional fee may apply for mixed loads depending on disposal requirements, but there are still no weight limits.
Best option: Order two separate dumpsters to keep your no-weight-limit benefit for heavy materials.
5% Rule: If general debris exceeds 5% of the load, you lose the no-weight-limit advantage and pay general debris rates ($150/ton after 1 ton). Keep materials separate for best value!
Standard rental is 7 days (included in base price). Extensions available with daily fees. Most customers find 7 days sufficient for small projects. Flexible rental periods accommodate various project timelines.
Dimensions: 15' long × 5'7" wide × 3'3" high. Holds 5 cubic yards. Compact size fits most driveways and tight spaces.
Yes, same-day delivery is available in most areas. Orders placed before 12 PM are often delivered the same day, with next-day delivery guaranteed. Perfect for urgent projects and tight deadlines.
