I used the dumpster to clean out my basement to have it remodeled. It was the perfect size and loved how the back opened up so could put heavier things in first. Thank you

How soon can I get a dumpster?
When you call to set up your rental, we'll let you know when our next available delivery date is. We recommend calling a few days before starting your project to ensure we have the right container, but we try to get you a dumpster within five business days.
How is my dumpster price determined?
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 cause prices to fluctuate.
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 Oakland?
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:

You can toss most household waste, general construction debris and yard waste in our containers. For example, 20 yard dumpsters can typically hold 110-130 contractor grade 33-gallon trash bags.
