Frequently Asked Questions Concerning Dumpster Renting

To help clarify and demystify the rental rolloff-container industry as it pertains to Easy Dumpster Rental, we have put together some common questions with answers to help you better understand our policies and procedures. However, because of space limitations, we assume you will still have questions. So with that in mind, please feel free to call our office and our friendly and highly knowledgeable sales staff can answer any questions or concerns you may still have.

1. What is the difference between a dumpster, rolloff, canister, bin, etc…? It is a little confusing.
   All the words used to describe a dumpster mean the same thing. A dumpster is a rolloff and a bin is a container. Most businesses have certain terms they use to describe the same item and it is no different in the dumpster-rolloff industry. Furthermore, most dumpster rental companies offer the same basic sizes. We have bin rentals in 10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards. Though there are many other sizes these are the most frequently requested. So for example, a 10-yard bin may be used for smaller jobs around the home like a bathroom remodel. A 30 yard-rolloff-dumpster would be used primarily by the construction industry to do a hi-rise demolition project. So we hope this helps shed some light on all the terminology.
2. How far in advance should I order my dumpster? Do I need a reservation?
   48 hours is typically enough lead time for us to get your bin to your site. However, if you call us early enough in the morning we can get you a dumpster-can delivered to you on the same day.
3. If I am doing two or more projects simultaneously, can Easy Dumpster Rental deliver the same dumpster to each site as needed?
   Sure. That is no problem. Just check with our sales staff and they will be happy to take care of any of your needs. Many people use this type of service so it is no problem.
4. Would it be smarter to put the rolloff-canister in the street and is it permissible?
   It is a great idea to put the dumpster in the street. Rolloffs can get quite heavy and there is a possibility that damage to your lawn or driveway can occur. However, you must first check with your local officials to get permission and to see if you need a permit. If you can’t sit the container in the street, we recommend that you go to your local lumber store and purchase either some plywood or planks to slide under the wheels of the bin. This will help minimize damage to your property. And remember, we promise on-time delivery and pick up.
5. How do I pay for your services?
   There a five ways in which you can pay. Visa, MasterCard, Discover Card, American Express or you can use PayPal. And we offer the lowest prices in the industry on bin rentals to the residential market or construction industry.
6. Do I need to be home on the day of delivery?
   That would be great if you could be there so there is no confusion on the placement of the dumpster. However, if you can’t be home perhaps a friend or neighbor could step in for you. If that is not possible the sales rep will get detailed instructions from you on where you would like the bin placed. Also, if you’re not going to be home and we need to place the bin in the backyard and if we need to get through a gate, make sure it is unlocked, and please secure any animals.
7. Are there any limitations on how long I can keep a dumpster-rolloff rental?
   No, not really. Typically dumpster rental periods are either 14 or 30 days. However, with that said you can rent a bin as long as you need it. If you have a long-term project that is going to last more than 60 days our sales team will put together an affordable dumpster rental price for you. There have been cases where people have actually purchased the dumpster outright. So we can accommodate your needs in a variety of ways. Just speak to your sales team member and they will do all they can so you will have a great rental dumpster experience. Your satisfaction is very important to us.

A final note. It is against the law according to the EPA for dumpster rental companies to haul hazardous waste. So, please do not put these types of materials in your dumpster. If you do need a hazardous waste haul, please call your local government officials and they will instruct you on how to proceed. If hazardous waste is found in a dumpster this will incur fines and extra fees. So please be very careful.
