A Few Questions With Brilliant Answers On The Roll-Off Rental Process

We get quite a few questions every day concerning the process of renting a front-load dumpster. So we have decided to answer some of the more common questions. We hope that this will give you a deeper understanding, take away the mystery of our industry and how we run our company. And as a result of this enlightenment, you can make a well-informed decision. And don’t forget to read stories of how delighted our customers are with our company.

• I am a little confused about the nomenclature you use within the dumpster industry?
  All the words we use for dumpster are the same thing. Like all industries, we have come up with certain words to describe the same object. So terms like rolloff, bin, container, can, front load unit, the canister are all synonyms of a dumpster. But it would get quite repetitive especially when you are writing an article about the industry using ‘dumpster” in every other sentence.
• Can I get same-day service if needed?
  Yes, you can. We understand that emergencies come up and we are here to help. But please call us first thing in the morning so we can make the necessary arrangements. Typically we would like 48 hours. However, we do make exceptions, especially when a disaster hits an area. And keep in mind that we service both the residential market and the construction industry.
• I am not sure where I should place my bin?
  Usually, there are 3 options. Your front or backyard, the driveway, or the street. Depending on the job it could be either of those 3 options. For instance, if you are doing a re-roofing project, you would like the rolloff unit to be as close to the house as possible. The best place is to put the bin in the street. This will be the ideal location to minimize any damage to your property. And to that end, we strongly recommend that you go to your local lumber yard to buy some plywood or planks to place under the wheels of the can. If you following this suggestion it is highly unlikely you will have any damage.
• How do I pay for the roll-off unit rental?
  We accept most major credit cards including MasterCard, Discover Card, Visa, American Express, and PayPal.
• Should I be home on the delivery day?
  We strongly recommend that you or someone be there. Just in case we run into problems with the placement of the container. For example, sometimes when we talk to customers on the phone they forget how narrow an entrance might be to the backyard due to the fact that the neighbor property line was closer than they thought. So for reasons like these we feel it is a good idea to be there. We only desire happy outcomes.
• How long can I keep a rolloff unit?
  Typically rental periods run 7 or 14 days. With that said, if you need the bin longer it will be no problem. Just give our office a call before the rental period ends so you will not receive any late fees. We will do everything in our power to make you happy and have a great experience with us.

And don’t forget we have a FAQ page that goes more in-depth and of course, you can always give our office a call if you don’t find your question there. Thank you for considering using Easy Dumpster Rental. You will not be disappointed.
