  • What does dumpster rental cost in the Michiana area?

  • What can I toss in the dumpster?

    We accept household junk, furniture, yard waste, construction debris, demolition materials, and other items. Please refer to our 'What We Take' section for a complete list of accepted and prohibited materials.
  • Do you offer same-day delivery?

    Same-day delivery is available in many cases, depending on our current schedule. Please call us as early as possible and we will make every effort to accommodate your request.
  • Do I need to be home when my dumpster is delivered?

    No. You do not need to be present for delivery. As long as you have provided instructions for placement, our team can deliver and position the dumpster in the designated location without anyone being on-site.
  • Does the dumpster door open?

    Yes. Each dumpster is equipped with a rear swing door that can be unlocked and opened for convenient loading. The door can be secured in the open position, allowing you to easily walk heavier or bulkier items into the dumpster.
  • What happens if I fill the dumpster above the top of the walls?

    For safety reasons, all debris and materials must remain below the top edge of the dumpster walls. During pickup, the dumpster is tilted onto the truck, and any items extending above the sides could shift or fall out. Additionally, once the dumpster has been loaded onto the truck, no extra materials can be added safely. Keeping all contents within the dumpster walls helps ensure safe transportation and compliance with hauling regulations.
  • What happens if I exceed the weight included with my rental?

    Each dumpster rental includes a set amount of disposal weight based on the size selected: 11-yard dumpster: 2 tons included 15-yard dumpster: 3 tons included 20-yard dumpster: 3 tons included If the total weight of your load exceeds the amount included with your rental, an additional charge of $80 per ton will apply for any excess weight.
  • Can I have the dumpster placed on grass?

    Yes. We can place a dumpster on a grassy area if requested. However, doing so may result in lawn damage, including ruts, tire impressions, or discoloration of the grass. Whenever possible, we recommend placing the dumpster on a stable, hard surface such as a driveway or parking lot. By choosing placement on grass, you accept the possibility of damage to the lawn or surrounding landscape.
  • Can I have the dumpster placed on the street?

    Yes. In some cities, dumpsters may be placed on public streets with the appropriate permit. Permit requirements and regulations vary by municipality, so our team can help determine what is needed for your location. We are one of only two companies serving South Bend and Mishawaka that are authorized to obtain street permits for dumpster placement, making the process easier for our customers.
