Pick your date (same-day available in most areas)
Select your preferred delivery date during checkout. In most of the 40,000+ ZIP codes we serve, same-day and next-day delivery are available when you order before noon local time. You will also provide placement instructions (where on your property you want the dumpster placed) and any access notes the driver should know about (narrow driveways, low-hanging branches, gated access). We will confirm your delivery window via text and email.

Schedule Delivery
Load at your own pace. We work around your schedule
Once your dumpster is delivered, take your time loading it. Most rentals include a 7 to 14-day rental period, giving you plenty of time to work at your own pace. Load the dumpster evenly, do not exceed the fill line (the top of the dumpster walls), and avoid placing prohibited items inside. If you need more time, just call us. Rental extensions are easy and affordable.

Fill It Up
Responsible disposal and recycling included
When you are finished loading, schedule your pickup through our website, by text, or by phone. In most areas, we can pick up within 24 hours of your request. Our hauling partner will arrive, load the dumpster onto the truck, and transport it to a licensed disposal facility. Materials that can be recycled (clean wood, metal, concrete, cardboard) are sorted and diverted from the landfill whenever possible.

Common questions about the dumpster rental process.
Standard rental periods are typically 7 to 14 days, depending on your location and the service provider. If you need more time, rental extensions are available at a daily rate. Just call us before your rental period ends and we will extend it, no penalties or hassle.
Each dumpster comes with an included weight allowance (typically 2 to 8 tons, depending on the size). If your load exceeds the included weight, you will be charged an overage fee per additional ton. The exact rate is disclosed in your order confirmation so there are no surprises. To avoid overages, check our weight estimator tool before ordering.
In many cities, you can place a dumpster on a public street, but you will typically need a permit from your local municipality. Permit requirements and fees vary by city. We can help you determine whether a permit is needed and, in some areas, assist with the permit application. If you place the dumpster on your private property (driveway, yard), no permit is usually required.
Most household and construction debris is accepted, including furniture, appliances (with Freon removed), lumber, drywall, roofing shingles, concrete, yard waste, and general household junk. Prohibited items include hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, tires, batteries, medical waste, and asbestos. Check our disposal guides for detailed information on what is and is not accepted in your area.
You do not need to be home, as long as you provide clear placement instructions and the delivery location is accessible. Our driver will place the dumpster where you specify and send you a confirmation photo. For pickup, just make sure the area around the dumpster is clear so the truck can access it safely.
If you realize the dumpster is too small or too large after delivery, call us. We can arrange a swap: picking up the current dumpster and delivering a different size. Swap fees may apply depending on your location and the new size, but we will always quote the cost before proceeding so you can make an informed decision.
