Question: What are the dumpster sizes? Are they clean? and does the company have a daily rental fee?

Try to pick a dumpster between 14 to 17 yards as this will ensure you have plenty of room for waste. A clean bin is an essential both inside and out. A weekly rental 7 days should be included in the price. Don’t forget to offer for any applicable discounts for shorter rental periods.

Question: Prior to pickup up what happens if the dumpster gets caught in a down pour of rain and the bin is very heavy. Does the customer have to pay extra tonnage?
