FAQs
How do I rent a dumpster for junk removal?
Tell us about your project and what you're throwing away. We'll recommend a dumpster size, provide a transparent quote and schedule delivery. Make sure the area is clear for seamless delivery. Once the bin arrives, load your debris and we'll haul it to the landfill when you're done — it's that simple.
How far in advance should I order my dumpster?
We recommend reaching out a few days before your project's start date to schedule your dumpster delivery. Depending on inventory at the time, it may take up to five business days to get you a bin. However, we'll try to deliver your bin sooner — you don't even have to be there when it arrives.
How does dumpster rental pricing work?
Our prices include delivery, pickup, disposal, landfill fees, rental period and a generous weight tonnage in one bundled quote. That way, you can budget easier knowing exactly what to expect on your final invoice.
What is not allowed in my dumpster?
Tossing hazardous, toxic and flammable debris is always prohibited due to environmental and health concerns. Also, food waste and some construction items, like gravel, aren't allowed in your dumpster. Don't worry — we'll go over all the details when you order.
To learn more about prohibited items, give us a call at 408-837-7198.
What type of permit do I need for street placement?
Contact the city of Alum Rock to obtain an Encroachment Permit before scheduling dumpster delivery. Dumpster permits are only necessary if the container will be obstructing a public right-of-way, like the street or sidewalk. You won't need one if you place the dumpster on your property.
How do I load my dumpster?
Maximize your bin space by first walking heavy items, like sofas and appliances, through the swinging door. Fill in the gaps with boxes or bags of junk next, then toss small debris over the sides — it's that easy.
