Questions Concerning Dumpster Rental In Pawtucket

We get many phone calls each day concerning the roll-off rental process. So we have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions and to help you get a feel for how our company runs its business. We hope that this is helpful.

• What can I use a container for? Typically bins are used to haul away trash and debris. For example, you are doing a bathroom remodeling project, a rolloff is perfect for hauling away all the materials that you need to have taken to a landfill. We also rent construction dumpsters to help contractors with managing their huge demo jobs. We have dumpsters in a variety of sizes including 10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards.
• Are bins expensive? No. It is the most economical and prudent way to get your trash or debris to either a landfill or recycling center. When compared to renting a large pick up truck, a canister is a less expensive option. When you start to factor in the rental fees, insurance, gas and a number of trips you will have to make back and forth to a landfill, a dumpster is easily the best option. Lets say for argument sake, you have about 4 pick-up trucks worth of debris you need to unload. Our 10-yard bin which is equal to the volume of 4 pickup trucks, can make one trip to the landfill for you. But with the pick up truck, you will have to make 4 trips. This is not a wise use of your time or money.
• How long can I keep a container? Most people rent for either 7 or 14 days. However, if you need it for a longer period. No problem. You can keep a bin for as long as you need it to complete a project. But, if you rent it for 14 days and you need more time please call us ahead of time so we can work out payment options. We don’t want to charge you late fees. So give us buzz and we will do everything we can to make you a happy camper.
• What payment options are available? We accept most major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, American Express and PayPal.
• Can a dumpster damage my property? Dumpsters do get quite heavy. With that said, if you go to your local lumber yard and pick up some plywood or planks to place under the wheels this should minimize any damage. The best option, though, if all possible, is to place the bin in the street. Just check first with your local government officials to see if this is permissible and if you need any permits.
• How far in advance to I need to request a container? We would like 48 hours to help us with the necessary logistics. However, we know that emergency situations do arise and we can get you a bin within 24 hours. Please try to call us first thing in the morning so we can make this happen.
