One of the most off-putting aspects of purchasing a rental dumpster can be when you are hit with so many hidden fees. These hidden fees can arise from numerous areas from delivery to dumpster weight limits. Therefore, it’s important to know what questions to ask and what areas to look out for when purchasing your first roll-off dumpster rental. In this article, we will share some of our knowledge on the matter to hopefully help you save money when working with a dumpster rental company!

Dumpster Delivery & Pick Up

When ordering your first dumpster rental it’s important to know how much time you have with your rental. It is also important to verify your drop-off and pick-up location to help keep things more efficient and less pricey. If you request a drop-off and a pickup at a specified location but then change your mind last minute, whilst the truck is out of the bay then you may incur a last-minute fee to help cover the added time of the driver. The most essential part is ensuring you know your dumpster’s turnaround. If your allotted time is scheduled for 2 weeks then make sure it stays that way. If you hold on to the dumpster longer than expected then you’ll most likely be charged each day you are late on your return.

Ton Limit

Another large area to keep in mind is the tonnage of your rental dumpster. Usually, these limits are put in place for a reason, either for safety measures or simply the added time it takes to haul larger loads. Landfills also make tonnage important and will charge companies extra if they are above the limit they requested. This means if you go over your dumpster tonnage limit then most times then not you will be charged based on how much tonnage you went over the limit. This can be a small fee to a very hefty one depending on how much you break their rules.

Prohibited Items

Lastly, every customer should ask for a list of prohibited items before doing business with a rental dumpster company. This is because every company will have certain items that cannot be hauled away correctly which will leave you with a much larger bill and a hidden charge at the end of your experience. The worst feeling is being caught by surprise by a rule you had no idea existed. Therefore it’s so important to ask for their list before you start adding everything on your property to the dumpster.
