FAQs

Dumpster Dudez offers four different sizes to accommodate both residential and commercial projects. We carry:

• 10 yard (8ft wide, 10ft long, 4ft tall)
• 15 yard (8ft wide, 11ft long, 4.5ft tall)
• 20 yard (8ft wide, 11ft long, 6ft tall)
• 25 yard (8ft wide, 14ft long, 6ft tall)

No one is required to meet us for dumpster delivery. Please be sure to clearly communicate with your local Dudez any special notes regarding dumpster placement. Our Dumpster Dudez team will always ask where you would like the bin placed and will do their very best to accommodate all requests within the safety and parameters of our equipment and ability.

We are unable to provide an advanced ETA for future deliveries as we must wait until the night before your scheduled delivery to dispatch the daily routes in the most efficient way possible. If you have a special request regarding the timing of delivery, we can certainly consider this when dispatching. However, due to unexpected circumstances or delays that may arise on the road or with the daily schedule, it’s difficult to guarantee a delivery window. We strive to have all deliveries complete before 2 pm, but we ask for flexibility to have deliveries complete before the day’s end if alternative circumstances arise. Your local Dudez will call when on the way with your dumpster to give you an approximate 30-minute notice before arrival.

Dumpster Dudez dumpsters come in a variety of sizes and can often fit in tight spaces. Since most driveways are at least 10 feet wide, this provides plenty of room for the dumpster. Our smallest dumpster has a footprint about the size of a standard car, and our largest dumpster has a footprint about the size of a standard enclosed landscape trailer. Please be sure to inform your local Dudez of any special circumstances regarding a confined space delivery to ensure best practices are followed.

Your local Dudez will always place the dumpster on wooden boards; which has proven to be the best method in protecting surfaces. Our Dudez use best practices to safeguard your driveway and are trained to keep the dumpster on the boards at all times during drop off and pick up of your dumpster.

Pricing is determined based on several local factors and will vary depending on your location. For accurate pricing, please contact your local Dudez to request a quote and receive expert guidance.

Dumpster Dudez makes renting dumpsters “E Z” in, and “E Z” out! To start, you simply call to speak with an expert and place your order, or reserve your order online. Then, your local Dudez will deliver the dumpster on the day you scheduled. Let us know when you are finished with your project, schedule your pick up, and our Dudez will retrieve the bin as soon as possible. We pride ourselves on customer service and clear communication; if anything arises that changes the schedule, we do our very best to notify you as soon as possible.

Additional fees and pricing will vary by location. Examples of additional fees include; sales tax (per state), extra weight, extra days, banned materials, over-loaded, dumpster damage / cleaning, etc. We recommend clear communication on your end regarding time, material type, material quantity, etc. to avoid additional fees.

Each location may process payments with variations; however, you will typically be charged via credit card for the dumpster rental on the scheduled day of dumpster delivery. Any additional fees will be assessed and calculated once the dumpster is picked up and emptied, and a second charge for additional fees will be processed only if applicable.

It is always best to check with your local municipality or HOA for compliance. Any placement (driveway, street, alley, etc.) may require you to obtain a permit from your local municipality or HOA. If you are unsure, we always recommend you double-check with the authorizing agent.

Most non-hazardous solid waste can be placed in the dumpsters. This generally includes waste from home cleanouts, moving preparations, construction projects, etc. However, hazardous materials, certain electronics, and flammable liquids require special disposal methods.

Acceptable materials may vary per location, so please check with your local Dudez before disposing of any materials you might believe to be prohibited.

We are a solid waste carrier, so generally speaking; no liquids, solvents, chemicals, or paints of any kind, anything flammable or explosive, anything corrosive, most large electronic devices, appliances, or tires. A list of items can be found on our website, but again, it’s best to check with your local Dudez regarding any questionable items.

Each dumpster size has a specific weight limit to ensure safe hauling. If your load exceeds the agreed limit, additional fees may apply. We can help you estimate weight to help you choose the right dumpster and avoid surprises.

Yes, but available rental periods vary by location. Common rental lengths include 7-day, 14-day, and 30-day rentals; and you can keep the dumpster for the agreed-upon rental period.

We understand that project timelines can shift. Contact us, and we’ll see what we can do to accommodate your needs.

Yes, but they must be dried out completely with a paint-drying agent for our safety on the roads. This also helps ensure you avoid additional cleaning fees.

Often times, it is fair to expect a 24-hour notice for scheduling a pick-up. However, in some cases, our Dudez may be able to pick up the dumpster sooner depending on their schedule. If circumstances arise where a 24-hour pick-up is not possible, we will do our best to communicate the timeline needed for scheduling the pick-up.

When you are finished, simply call or text your local Dudez to schedule the pick-up. No one needs to be present at the time of pick up, but please ensure the dumpster contents are even with or below the top of the dumpster, and move vehicles or anything else that would be obstructing our access to the dumpster. We will secure the dumpster contents with a tarp and double check the area to clean any leftover debris.

Our Dudez unload the dumpsters at the local landfill, or at a transfer station if access is available. Doing so allows for fast and accurate calculations of any applicable additional expenses to close the job and provide a detailed receipt for the order.

Please ensure all contents are even with or below the top rails of the dumpster. This helps ensure the safety of our Dudez while securing the tarp, and also when we are transporting the contents on the road. Overstuffed dumpsters are liable to having contents removed, and any additional work required by your local Dudez to ensure safe transport may result in additional charges.

Acceptance of this type of material varies by location, so it is best to check with your local Dudez prior to ordering a dumpster for any of these contents. Due to our truck capacity and weight restrictions for safe transport, we must ensure the amount of debris does not exceed a 5yd maximum. If approved by your local Dudez, we can offer a 10yd dumpster to be filled halfway. Additional charges will be applied for overstuffed dumpsters or extra work required by your local Dudez for the safe transport of the contents.

Selecting the ideal dumpster size depends on your project's scale and your waste type. Our range includes 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-yard options, perfect for anything from small home cleanouts to large construction debris. If in doubt, our team is here to offer expert advice based on the specifics of your project, ensuring you get a size that's both efficient and cost-effective.

While our dumpsters can hold a variety of waste, it's important to know that hazardous materials, liquids, flammable items, and toxic substances are off-limits. General construction debris, household junk, yard waste, and non-toxic materials are all acceptable. Check out our Acceptable Items Guide, or contact your local Dudez for more information.

No, you don't need to be on-site for us to deliver or pick up the dumpster as long as you've provided clear instructions on where to place it. For a smooth experience, ensure the drop-off area is accessible and free of obstacles.

Rental periods can vary, but we can accommodate your project timeline. Whether you need it for a short weekend project or a longer renovation, let us know your schedule, and we'll determine the best rental duration. Additional days are usually available with prior arrangements, subject to availability.

Our pricing is transparent and straightforward, based on the dumpster size, rental duration, and location. We aim for no surprises, providing you with a detailed quote upfront.

Dumpster Dudez coordinates special pick-ups to ensure these items are disposed of safely and responsibly.
