  • Sizing of Dumpsters: There are various sizes of dumpsters available to rent, ask about the right size for your project.

    I had a sudden need for a dumpster to remove an old fence I was taking down. I didn't realize how big the pile of fence material would be and decided to call for a small dumpster. The dumpster was delivered the next day and picked up on the scheduled pickup day with no fuss no muss. Very simple, easy, and affordable.

    Replacing my deck. A tower of rotten wood, concrete footers, and detritus was rapidly filling the driveway. I thought through my options... two years of chopping up boards and stuffing them into by garbage can... or buy eight Bagsters and meticulously pack them to optimize my purchase... or a dumpster? Dumpsters are for professional jobs though, right? I'm going to have to call someone, then figure out my square footage, would they even put it near my project? What if I need it longer? Uhg, I hate calling people. Well, this was possibly the easiest and smoothest interaction I've had with a vendor. Ordered on their website, used their handy calculator to determine the size, picked a day, paid on their website. They even texted me when they were on their way to confirm delivery. They placed it exactly where I needed it, protected my driveway where it sat. Confirmed pickup and away it went. Will be recommending to anyone who mentions a remodel project. Thanks guys!

    Dumpster Dudez is what small local businesses should be. They were immediately responsive when we filled one dumpster and needed another before the time was up on the first one. Amazed by the next day service. The customer service is obviously paramount to this company, from the person on the phone (who was incredibly knowledgeable and understanding) to the drivers who ensured the dumpster was EXACTLY where we wanted it before they dropped it. I can not say enough about this service or more strongly recommend Dumpster Dudez. Oh, I almost forgot, one of the most reasonably priced options out there, the best value out there by far. Great job Dudez!

    Absolutely flawless and easy transaction. My dumpster was delivered on time, I appreciated the wood being put down below the wheels to protect the asphalt driveway. Picked up on time. Will call dumpster Dudez again in the future for all of my debris removal needs.

    I can’t tell you how easy it is to work with these folks! If half the other companies in this state had the same customer relations ethic and professionalism that Dumpster Dudez have then doing business here would be much better. Meanwhile, I’m grateful for quick service availability and ease of transaction. I’m definitely going to be a long term customer!

    I needed, I called, they delivered next day. I called when loaded and needed another one. That happened next day. Service, very friendly and explained every detail. The drivers were very polite and accommodating. Placed the dumpster exactly where I needed it and put it on boards so not to make a mark on the driveway. I would recommend Dumpster Dudez to everybody
