Can we place dumpsters on the street?

Each municipality has different regulations and permit requirements concerning dumpsters placed on private property, streets or other public right of way. Contact your local munipality and they will provide you with any regulations and the information to obtaining permits. DumpStor does not provide or obtain permits required.

What additional fees are there?

We include weight and initial rental period days in our base pricing. Frequently, you will fall under those categories with no additional fees. If you exceed either the included weight or rental days, we will charge a pro-ratable weight fee for the overage and a daily rental for each day over the initial rental period. We also have fees for certain materials which may include but not limited to mattresses, tires and appliances.

Will the dumpster damage my property?

We take every precaution to prevent causing any damage. We utilize lighter, driveway friendly trucks and we place pads underneath the dumpster rollers when placed on asphalt or concrete. DumpStor is not responsible for any damage caused by regular operation of dumpster delivery or pickup.

Where can I place the dumpster rental?

We will only place dumpsters on flat surfaces and on hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt or gravel. We will not drive on lawns or soft areas to place a dumpster. We also cannot place a dumpster where the truck has to lift a dumpster underneath powerlines or other obstructions such as large tree branches.

Can I keep the dumpster for longer than the initial rental period?

Yes, you can keep the dumpster for as long as you need. After the initial rental period, there is a daily rental fee. Please schedule a pickup when you are done with the dumpster, as we will not pick up the dumpster until a pickup is requested.

What material is not allowed in the dumpsters?

We accept most household clean out and construction project materials. We do not accept any kind of paints, liquids, dirt, concrete or hazardous materials. We can not accept propane tanks, batteries or gas tanks. Several items we accept but may require additional charges, such as tires, mattresses and appliances.

How does the dumpster rental process work?

It’s very easy – You can call, text or email with us to discuss dumpster options and pricing. Once you pick the option that works for you, just inform us of the date, address and dumpster placement location you’d like. After that, we will process the payment and reserve your spot on the dumpster delivery schedule.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept all major forms of credit cards.

Does someone have to be on-site to sign for a dumpster upon arrival and pickup?

No one has to be there for delivery or pickup. We will ask for a description (and if you want to send us a picture, that works too) of the location you would like the dumpster placed. We just ask that the designated location is clear of any vehicles, materials and any other obstructions.

How full can I fill the dumpsters?

We ask that the dumpsters not be filled above the top of the brim. We cannot have material sticking above, to ensure safe and legal transportation of debris. If debris is above the top of the dumpster, we may inform you that we cannot transport the debris, at which case we would need to unload debris or place debris in another dumpster rental.

You mentioned Storage and Debris removal with the DumpStor Pro, how will I do this?

Our DumpStor Pro will allow you do to this. Over the course of your project, you can store appliances, tools, metal commodities, building materials, etc. in the front storage portion of the unit, while disposing of trash debris in the rear dumpster.

*Participating locations offer the DumpStor Pro. Please check dumpster availability at your local DumpStor location.

Does DumpStor provide driveway protection?

Yes, as part of our service, we offer wheel blocks to offer a protection that keeps the dumpsters wheels and rails from even touching your driveway!
