Not a smooth experience
My initial problem below was eventually remedied. The dumpster was placed in the wrong location on Friday, they said they would move it on Monday, they showed up to move it on Wednesday morning. When I first called I asked for a 20 foot dumpster. When I described the job I was told I should get a 10 foot, I decided on the 15 because the 10 didn't seem like enough. In the end I definitely needed the 20 foot but to get the 15 foot dumped and returned was an extra $400 so now I have a completely full dumpster and everything else is going in bags. Besides the first person I spoke with who gave me the bad advice and the person who aggressively tried to make me pay for their mistake I spoken to many people at dumpster.com who have been very kind and helpful. If I had gotten the 20 foot dumpster I initially wanted and they had put it in the right place it would have been 5star service but it's been a huge hassle having to call or text multiple times a day for almost a week now. Original post that was eventually remedied: Trying to charge for their mistake. I was supposed to have a dumpster delivered in my driveway. The drivers placed it on the street instead (which I would need a permit for). Parker, from Dumpsters.com is telling me there was a car in the driveway and they had to place it on the street because they need up to 60 feet to place the dumpster. The car is 72 feet away from the end of the driveway. They want to charge me $195 because their drivers put it in the wrong place. The way Parker is communicating with me is belittling. Addendum: the driver who eventually moved the dumpster was awesome and very skilled. He used less than half of my driveway to get it into the right spot.

FAQs
Is it easy to rent a dumpster?
Yes, just reach out and tell us what you're tossing. We'll provide an upfront, bundled quote so you can budget efficiently. Once it arrives, load the bin at your own pace and notify us when you're finished — we'll haul it away.
When can I expect my dumpster to be delivered?
We typically deliver dumpsters within five business days. The time frame depends on our availability when you schedule. Be sure to reach out before your project's start date to get a bin on time.
Are dumpster rentals expensive?
Renting a dumpster is one of the most cost-efficient ways to get rid of bulk waste, especially when compared to other options like junk removal services. We have containers to fit any size project and we provide upfront, all-inclusive quotes for efficient budgeting. Save time and money with a bin in your driveway for easy loading — getting rid of junk has never been simpler.
Do I need a dumpster permit from the city?
Yes, you typically need a permit if your dumpster is blocking a street, sidewalk or other public right-of-way. Visit Erie's website for information on how to apply for a permit. Keep in mind you do not need a permit if the dumpster is placed on private property.
How do you get rid of dumpster debris?
Once your dumpster is picked up, our drivers will take your trash to a local Erie landfill, like Lake View Landfill, located at 975 Robinson Road East.
Is there anything that is unsafe to put in my dumpster?
Yes, it's always prohibited to toss flammable, toxic and hazardous waste in your dumpster. This is because unsafe items must be separated from other debris for environmental and safety reasons.
Could I be charged an overage fee?
Yes, you can be charged an overage fee if you overfill your dumpster, toss a prohibited item or include debris that isn't a part of your project's junk, like food waste.
Why is a dumpster rental convenient?
Renting a dumpster is convenient because it saves you time and space. It allows you to toss junk nearby without the hassle of driving back and forth to the landfill. Also, you avoid holding onto items for months at a time or having to wrap debris with curbside collection. Just schedule delivery before your project's start date, load it at your own pace and we'll haul it away when you're finished.
