We provide priority scheduling during storm response periods. Call us at (561) 858-2096 for immediate availability.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in West Palm Beach?

If the dumpster stays on your private property (typically your driveway), you usually don't need a permit. Permits are required when placing dumpsters on public streets or right-of-way. Different municipalities across Palm Beach County have slightly different requirements. We can guide you through the permit process if needed and help you understand the specific requirements for your city.

What can't go in a dumpster?

Prohibited items include:

  • Hazardous waste and chemicals
  • Paint and solvents
  • Motor oil and automotive fluids
  • Tires
  • Batteries
  • Electronics requiring special recycling
  • Appliances containing refrigerant (unless properly drained)
  • Medical waste
Most household debris, construction materials, furniture, and general junk are accepted. When in doubt about a specific item, call us before loading.

How long can I keep the dumpster?

Standard rental periods are 7-10 days, which is plenty of time for most projects. Need it longer? No problem. Extended rentals are available at a daily rate—just let us know your timeline and we'll accommodate. Most renovation and cleanout projects complete comfortably within the standard period.

Will a dumpster damage my driveway?

We take precautions to protect driveways by placing boards under the container to distribute weight. For most standard concrete or asphalt driveways, this is sufficient. If you have decorative pavers, stamped concrete, or other special surface concerns, let us know and we'll take extra precautions. The dumpster should remain stationary throughout your rental period.

What happens if I overfill the dumpster?

Debris must stay below the fill line (the top edge of the container) for safe transport. If overfilled, we may need to remove excess material before pickup, which could incur additional charges. We'll always communicate with you if there's an issue before charging anything extra.

How much weight can a dumpster hold?

Weight limits vary by size. A 10-yard typically holds 2-3 tons, 20-yard holds 4-5 tons, and larger containers hold 5-6 tons. General household debris and renovation waste rarely exceeds these limits. Heavy materials like concrete, brick, roofing tile, or dirt fill weight limits faster than they fill space. Let us know if your project involves heavy materials so we can recommend the right container.

Do you offer same-day pickup?

Yes, if you finish early, call us and we'll arrange pickup as quickly as possible—often same-day depending on our schedule. We're flexible and work around your project timeline.

Can I put concrete or dirt in a dumpster?

Yes, but heavy materials like concrete, brick, soil, and stone require special weight limit considerations. These materials are extremely heavy and fill weight limits much faster than space. Let us know upfront if your project involves concrete, masonry, or dirt so we can recommend the right container and pricing structure.

We serve all of Palm Beach County including West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Wellington, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Royal Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, Greenacres, Lantana, North Palm Beach, Loxahatchee, and surrounding communities.

Can I move the dumpster once it's delivered?

No, dumpsters should remain in their delivered location throughout your rental period. They're heavy containers designed to stay stationary. If you need it moved to a different location, call us and we can arrange repositioning.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, checks, and cash. Payment is typically due at the time of delivery or upon pickup depending on the arrangement. We also offer invoicing for contractor accounts and commercial customers.

Do you offer discounts for multiple dumpsters?

Yes, we offer volume pricing for contractors and customers needing multiple dumpsters or recurring service. Call us to discuss your specific needs and we'll provide competitive pricing for your project scope.

What if I need the dumpster picked up early?

No problem. If you finish your project early, just give us a call and we'll schedule pickup as soon as possible—often same-day or next-day. You won't be charged for the full rental period if you request early pickup.

Can I load the dumpster while it's being delivered?

For safety reasons, please wait until the delivery truck has completely left before loading the dumpster. Once it's placed and the driver has departed, you can begin filling it immediately.

What's included in the rental price?

Our rental price includes:

  • Delivery to your location
  • Standard rental period (7-10 days)
  • Pickup and removal when you're finished
