Professional service start to finish
Good experience thanks to easy scheduling of both the delivery and the pickup of the dumpster. The delivery driver was very careful to not hit any of the roofline of the house even though the space was tight. Professional, and a competitive price as well. Will use again when it's time to finish the cleanout.

Why do dumpster prices vary?
Our dumpster prices are based on several factors which can cause them to fluctuate, including:
Location: Local fuel costs, area disposal fees and regional regulations around sorting and recycling can affect pricing.
Debris Type: Disposal costs also vary based on what you’re throwing out and the landfills or processing facilities in your area.
Availability: Container availability varies throughout the year due to demand, which may impact pricing.
Rental Period: Rental periods are generally 7-10 days, but this can vary by location. If you need to hang on to your container longer, let us know and you’ll receive a low daily rate for each additional day.
Weight: Though landfill charges are usually based on total weight, our bundled rates include a set weight limit for your rental, so you won’t need to know exactly how heavy your trash is when you place your order.
Facility Fees: Disposal facilities can charge a variety of extra costs, from standard taxes to other fees assessed by the landfill.
Is any debris prohibited in Houston?
Regardless of location, flammable, toxic and hazardous waste are prohibited. There may be additional restrictions depending on where you need service and the type of container you rent. We'll go over any specific guidelines when you call.
However, we do offer various roll off and commercial dumpsters for a variety of debris types, including:
