Q.❓ Why do deliveries and pickups sometimes start as early as 5:00 AM?
A.🚛 To provide the fastest service possible, our routes often begin as early as 5:00 AM. Our drivers only have a limited window each day to deliver, pick up, unload dumpsters at the landfill, and get back out for more deliveries. To maximize efficiency, we typically start with the customer who is farthest away and work our way back toward the landfill. For example, if we have a pickup in Oak Harbor and a delivery in Genoa, we'll often deliver the Genoa dumpster first on the way to Oak Harbor. This allows us to reach the landfill before it opens and keep the rest of the day's schedule running smoothly. We know early morning service isn't ideal for everyone, and we aren't trying to inconvenience anyone. Starting early simply helps us complete more deliveries and pickups each day while keeping costs down and providing faster service to all of our customers. 📍 Please include detailed placement instructions when booking so we know exactly where you'd like your dumpster placed. 🚗 If your dumpster is scheduled for pickup, please make sure the area is clear and no vehicles or other obstacles are blocking access. This helps us avoid delays and keeps everyone on schedule.
Q.Any special requirements when placing a dumpster at my house?
A.We do require a level, accessible space at least 15 to 20 feet Long and 10 feet wide-roughly the size of a pickup truck or suv.
Q.Am I responsible if the dumpster gets damaged?
A.Normal wear and tear is expected. However, damaged due to negligence (like using heavy equipment to load it), may result in repair or replacement charges.
Q.Do you require a deposit?
A.No deposit required. Full payment is due before or on the day of delivery.
Q.Can I cancel my order?
A.Yes — with $30 cancellation insurance, you can cancel up to 1 hour before delivery with a full refund of the rental. Without insurance, cancellation within 48 hours will incur a $100 fee.
