A dumpster is a temporary service trash can. We rent dumpsters for all of northern VA, DC and some parts of Maryland. We provide flexible, reliable and professional delivery and pick-up.
The yardage of a dumpster dictates ow much it will hold. For instance a 20yard will hold about 20 kitchen stoves. A 30yard will hold about 30 kitchen stoves.
We also rent dumpsters for purely concrete, asphalt, metal or dirt. These allow more tons and could come out cheaper. But it needs to be a totally clean dump.
You will need to have a specified location for the dumpster. We don't like to put dumpsters in a yard (will tear up the grass) or on the street (you could get a fine for it, depending on your neighborhood). Driveways are excellent, but asphalt or special tiles might get damaged, but we can tell you ways to avoid this.
Our lead time is short. If you call in the morning we can usually get it out to you the next business day. In the afternoons, it is probably be in two business days in the morning. A rush order can be done but it might cost you a few more dollars. Saturday's are possible in the mornings, but the demand for these are hard to come by. Give us at least 2 days notice for these.
Of course there are some prohibited items.
Each dump site has different rules concerning items you can, and cannot put in the dumpster. The following items are best to keep out of the dumpster, but if you wish you may include these things. You may, or may not get a surcharge for these materials. We just haul your debris; if the dump site charges us, we charge you. Pricing will vary from dump site to dump site.
We do pickup dumpsters with mattresses, but we might charge you extra. Mattresses are generally not accepted at the dump sites. The charges for a mattress can be hefty. We have had charges as high as $75 for a mattress. We can in some cases get the fees waived if we know about the mattresses ahead of time. If you declare to us you are throwing away mattresses when you order we can sometimes get a dump site that will allow us to dump mattresses for no additional fees. This generally only applies if you have a larger dumpster such as a 30-yard dumpster. So let us know before you order and we will see if we can save you some money. Otherwise, if the dump site charges us, we charge you.
We will pickup dumpsters with paint cans, but we charge you. Paint is a liquid, and it is a hazardous material. Liquids are not allowed, nor are hazardous materials allowed in the dumpster. That being said, if you do have paint cans you are charged a small fee for each paint can.
Automobile tires are not allowed in your dumpster, but if you have them we will pickup the dumpster, but charge you for each tire. Tires cannot be processed in a regular landfill. Tires can be recycled, but it requires special equipment and no dump site locally has the tire recycling equipment. Consequently the dump sites charge us for tires. They store the tires until they get a semi-truck load ready to go, then ship them to a distant recycling facility.
Unless you make prior arrangements with us, we may not be able to take a dumpster with railroad ties until you remove them from the can. Railroad ties come in two flavors, treated and untreated. Railroad ties are usually treated with creosote, which makes them a problem. If we can do it, there may be additional charges to dispose of railroad ties, but we must know before we bring out your dumpster.
A dump site that handles C&D - Construction and Demolition waste - recycles about 75% of the construction waste they take in. While, dirt, concrete, and asphalt are recyclable, these materials cannot be processed at a standard dump site. They don't want them. So small amounts of such heavy materials is fine, but if you put in too much they may reject the load, incurring additional costs for you. Another consideration is such materials are heavy, often weighing about a ton and a half per cubic yard. Ultimately, you pay by the ton to have your debris hauled away. If you put in these materials and exceed your weight allowance, you will pay extra.
If you need to get rid of a large amount of these dense, recyclable materials you can rent a special clean dump dumpster to save on tonnage charges.
Please let us know when renting if you are throwing away food waste. This material is more expensive to dispose of than regular waste. We may have to adjust your weight allowance or charge extra for food waste. If you let us know before hand we can schedule the dumpster to go to the appropriate dump site. If we go to a regular C&D waste site you are likely to get excess charges for your dumpster.
Dumpster prices vary based on several factors.
