How much advanced notice should I give to order a dumpster?
We generally look for a 24 hour notice when ordering a dumpster. There will be times when we can get it to you the same day, but ordering in advance is suggested. It it’s during our busy season, a 48 hour notice will also allow you to be more selective of what time the dumpster will be delivered as well.

What size options do I have for dumpsters?
Dumpster sizes vary slightly by area, but we offer 6, 12, 15, 20 and 30 yard containers in our entire coverage area. If you are new to ordering dumpsters, give us a call at (860) 609-4027 and let one of our knowledgeable customer service representatives help you figure out which size will be best for you.

How long do I get to use a temporary dumpster?
You’re free to keep the container as long as you need, however there is a rental charge that is assessed after the allowed days. Generally, this amount of time is 7 days. Please call for our current rates and allowed days.

Why don’t I see any prices on your website?
As a local company we focus on giving each individual customer a competitive price based on their individual situation. We believe this creates greater value for our customer. We do not believe in cookie cutter pricing.

How much weight will a typical container hold?
Weight will vary depending on the material that you put in the container. Please keep in mind the outdoor elements, such as rain and snow, will affect the weight. We suggest that you place a tarp over the container should this be a concern.

How big of a container do I need?
One way to get an estimate of the approximate size container needed would be to imagine how many full size pickup truck loads it would take to haul all of your material. In general, each load would equal approximately 4 yards of material. So, for example, if you think it would take about 3 truck loads to haul away all of your trash, then you would need a 12 yard dumpster. Again, this is just approximate, so calling one of our highly knowledgeable customer service representatives at (860) 609-4027 is recommended. Don’t forget to check out our What Size Dumpster Do I Need page too.

Does the dumpster have a door that opens?
All of our dumpsters that are 10 yards or larger have a door that opens allowing for you to walk inside and place your items without having to throw them over the side. Any dumpster 8 yards or smaller does not have a door allowing you to walk inside, nor do they have lids.

Do you offer permanent dumpster rentals?
Yes we do. Please call us at (860) 609-4027 for pricing and options for a permanent dumpster rental.

Do you give exact timing of delivery for a dumpster?
Due to many factors including traffic and weather, we cannot give an exact time for delivery or pick up of a dumpster. We will do our best to be there at the time that would be ideal for you, but we generally must give a window of approximately 4 hours.

Do you automatically pick up my dumpster?
We DO NOT automatically pick up the dumpster. We do this to make sure we do not pick up a dumpster that is still being used. We need a 24 hour notice to guarantee your dumpster will be picked up the next day, though in some instances, we can pick it up same day.
