Three things decide every New Orleans order: what the material is, what size you need, and how long you'll need the container. Material matters most: concrete and dirt are priced completely differently than household junk, wood, or furniture. Then think in hauls (every drop-off and pickup is one haul): a 30-yard up front might cost $300-500 more than a 10-yard, but needing a 10-yard hauled three times can run $1,000+ extra. Last, check the rental days. Some companies include 0 days, some 3, some 7 or 14. We include 7 and build the price around exactly what your job needs. (Michael V., Head of Operations)

Permits in New Orleans depend on placement: private property is typically fine without one, while public-street drop-offs usually need a temporary permit from New Orleans or Louisiana. Costs and timelines vary. Contact us and we'll confirm what your specific spot requires.

Our standard New Orleans rental period is 7 days, included in your flat rate. Need more time? Daily extensions are available, and we offer 14-, 21-, and 30-day periods for longer projects. Just share your timeline when you book. In New Orleans, extra days are billed at $40 per day, our live local rate.

New Orleans customers can choose from 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 40-yard containers. Smaller sizes suit single-room and garage projects; the larger ones are built for whole-home and jobsite work. We'll recommend the right fit for your debris. In our own New Orleans delivery records, the 30-yard is the most-rented size (45% of local orders).

The 30-yard (45% of the 90+ orders in our New Orleans delivery records since 2020). If you're torn between two sizes, going bigger is usually the cheaper mistake: the price step up is small, while a container that's too small can mean paying for a second haul.

Construction debris is welcome in our New Orleans dumpsters: framing scrap, flooring, roofing, masonry, and more. Dense materials like concrete and dirt can reach the included weight faster, so mention them when you order and we'll size the weight right. Debris from New Orleans jobs is processed at licensed facilities nearby. The closest in our records is New Orleans City Of - Sanitation Dept Gentilly Landfill (c&d landfill), about 3.3 miles out.

Same-day drop-off is often possible in New Orleans for early orders, and next-day is standard. Tell us your ZIP and we'll confirm the fastest available delivery for your address.

We serve New Orleans plus the communities throughout its metro area and the rest of Louisiana. Not sure if we reach you? Drop in your ZIP and we'll confirm coverage instantly.

Each New Orleans rental includes a weight allowance: about 1 ton on a 10 or 12-yard up to 4 tons on a 40-yard. It's not a hard cap; any size handles your load. If you go over the included weight with heavy material, just let us know when you order and we'll set you up with more, no surprises.

In New Orleans, keep out hazardous and regulated materials: chemicals, paint, asbestos, tires, batteries, medical waste, and anything with refrigerant. Everything else (household, construction, and yard debris) is generally fine. Not sure about an item? Just ask.

Yes: couches, chairs, tables, dressers, and most household furniture go straight into any New Orleans dumpster. Furniture is bulky but light, so even a 10 or 15-yard handles a room's worth easily.

Shingles are accepted in New Orleans. Because they're heavy per cubic yard, the right move is a smaller box sized for weight. Tell us the square count of the roof and we'll match the container and allowance.

Yes, with one rule: heavy masonry usually needs its own dedicated container in New Orleans, typically a 10 or 15-yard loaded level-full, because concrete and dirt reach road weight limits long before the box looks full. Tell us it's heavy debris and we'll set it up right.

Yes, New Orleans customers toss mattresses regularly. Because some Louisiana landfills process them separately, give us a heads-up when ordering and we'll confirm any facility handling details for your ZIP.

Yes for standard appliances in New Orleans. Refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners are the special case: federal rules require refrigerant removal before disposal, so they can only go in after being drained and tagged.

Usually not in the dumpster. Many states including parts of Louisiana restrict TVs, monitors, and e-waste from landfills. The good news: most New Orleans areas have free e-waste drop-offs or retailer take-back programs. Ask us and we'll point you to the nearest option.

Absolutely. New Orleans customers use 10-20 yard boxes for yard cleanups constantly. Stumps and large trunks are heavy, so flag those when you order and we'll size the weight allowance to match.

Mixed loads are the norm in New Orleans: cleanout junk, drywall, cabinets, and flooring can all share a box. Keep concrete and dirt separate in a heavy-debris container, and leave out hazardous materials, and you're set.

Debris has to stay level with the container's top rim. That's a road-safety law, not our preference. If a New Orleans load is heaped above the rim, the driver can't legally haul it and you'd need to level it before pickup. When in doubt, go one size up; it's cheaper than a second trip.

You'll just see the pre-disclosed per-ton overage on the final invoice. The scale ticket from the New Orleans facility documents it. The smart move is telling us about dense debris when ordering so the included weight actually matches your project.

Not if it's placed right. Our New Orleans drivers can lay protective boards under the contact points on request, which prevents scratching and indentation on driveways. Fresh asphalt (under a year old) deserves extra caution. Mention it and we'll plan placement.

No, most New Orleans deliveries happen without anyone home. Just tell us exactly where you want the container (driveway side, angle, distance from the garage) when you book, and the driver follows your placement notes.

We schedule New Orleans deliveries Monday-Saturday. If your project starts on the weekend, order by Friday and we'll line the container up so it's waiting when you are.

Once you tell us you're finished, we schedule the New Orleans haul-away right away, usually next business day. Finishing early never costs extra. The container just leaves sooner.

Please don't move it yourself. Containers weigh thousands of pounds and dragging one damages pavement (and voids placement protection). If the spot isn't working in New Orleans, call us and we'll relocate it properly with the truck.

Swap service is available throughout New Orleans: full container out, fresh container in, usually same or next day. Tell us your project pace and we'll schedule swaps proactively.

The budget plays in New Orleans: right-size the container the first time, separate clean heavy material (it can dump cheaper), and book a day ahead rather than same-day when you can. Everything else is already in the flat rate.

Rentals run rain or shine in New Orleans. Containers are steel and weather doesn't stop delivery or pickup. One note: rain-soaked debris (especially drywall, carpet, or yard waste) weighs more, so tarp the load if heavy weather is coming and you're near your weight allowance.

Think of it as labor vs. price: a New Orleans dumpster costs less per cubic yard and stays as long as you need; junk removal includes the lifting at a premium. DIY loaders save real money with the container.

Yes. From single-job roll-offs to standing accounts, we support New Orleans businesses with reliable delivery windows, fast swaps, and one point of contact. Ask about our Pro program if you rent regularly.

Often yes, with the right paperwork: street placement in New Orleans usually requires a temporary right-of-way permit from the city, and some blocks need reflective markers or cones. We'll tell you exactly what your address requires before delivery.

Easy: reach out before the driver heads your way and we'll rebook your New Orleans delivery for whenever works. Weather delays, permit waits, project slips: we handle those daily.

Ordering in New Orleans is simple: enter your ZIP for an instant price, pick your size and delivery date, and book online in minutes. Prefer to talk? Call (866) 858-3867 and we'll handle it. Same-day or next-day delivery is usually available.

A swap-out works like ordering another container, and everything resets: new invoice, new rental days, fresh box. You fill it, tell us you need a return or swap, and we handle the dispatch, paperwork, weight tickets, and billing from there. Jobs with multiple swap-outs normally get repeat-business discounts, usually $25-$50, especially contractors and Pro Program members.

Cancel at least 48 hours before your delivery date for a full refund. Once dispatch schedules are set, last-minute isn't free: there's a flat $375 dispatch fee for canceling inside the 48-hour window. The $25 cancellation insurance add-on changes that: cancel anytime, as long as the driver isn't already en route. Not ready for delivery? Just call and move the date instead.

They're not prohibited, but they're not free either. Truly prohibited means hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, asbestos). Items like mattresses, tires, and appliances with refrigerant are charged per item by the landfill, and every area is different: one landfill charges $75 for a mattress and box spring, another charges nothing. We don't set those rates, but we'll call the landfill serving New Orleans, get the exact numbers, and relay them back. All you have to do is ask.

If you want protection down, set it up before the driver arrives (wood blocks, 2x4s, plywood, pavers, mats, or a driveway tarp all work) and tell us so we brief the driver to place the container on it. In some areas we can provide protection ourselves; in markets served by smaller partner operations we can't always relay every request, so customer-supplied is the sure bet.
