Questions About Dumpster Rentals in Richmond, VA

General

Anyone can rent dumpsters; but at Dumpster Dudez, we provide an impressive and memorable service to solve your immediate need. From the smallest home cleanout project to large-scale commercial projects, you’ll experience friendly, affordable, professional, and reliable service every step of the way. Choose Dumpster Dudez for your next project, and experience the Dumpster Dudez difference!

By eliminating waste management concerns, you can concentrate more fully on the project itself.

Yes, by reducing the number and cost of trips to disposal sites and avoiding hidden fees.

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.

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.

We're upfront about costs, but certain projects may incur additional fees based on local regulations or specific needs. Open communication is key to avoiding surprises.

To ensure availability for your project, we recommend booking your dumpster as soon as you have a clear timeline. However, we understand that projects can evolve quickly, and we strive to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.

While our primary service is providing dumpster rentals, we offer advice on how to segregate materials for recycling. For specific projects requiring detailed waste segregation, we recommend consulting with a waste management specialist.

Yes, proper disposal and recycling practices make dumpster rentals a sustainable choice for waste management.

Dumpster rental offers unparalleled flexibility and control over your project. Unlike full-service junk removal, where you pay based on the volume of junk and must have everything ready for a single pickup, renting a dumpster allows you to work at your own pace and accommodate larger volumes of waste more economically. It’s ideal for projects that generate waste over several days or weeks, providing a cost-effective solution that adjusts to your schedule and budget without having to complete your cleanout or project all at once.

How It Works

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.

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. Certain types of waste or overloading the dumpster may result in additional fees, but we'll guide you through the dos and don'ts to avoid any unexpected charges. For answers to more questions, visit our comprehensive FAQ page.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

While we strive to meet your scheduling needs, same-day delivery depends on dumpster availability and the timing of your request. We recommend contacting us as early as possible to secure your preferred delivery date.

Contact Dumpster Dudez! We'll discuss your project details, advise on the right dumpster size, and provide you with a detailed quote.

If you anticipate or encounter more waste than expected, contact us immediately. We can discuss options such as scheduling an additional pickup or renting another dumpster to accommodate the excess waste efficiently.

Heavy materials such as concrete, brick, and dirt/soil significantly impact the weight limits of our dumpsters and the transportation process. Advanced notice lets us plan the most efficient and safe disposal strategy, ensuring compliance with weight restrictions and local disposal guidelines.

Dumpster Sizes

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

  • 5 yard (10ft wide, 8ft long, 2ft tall)
  • 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)

Selecting the ideal dumpster size depends on your project's scale and your waste type. Our range includes 5-, 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.

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.

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.

The amount of concrete you can dispose of depends on the size of the dumpster and local weight restrictions. Our team will help you select the appropriate size based on your project needs.

If possible, disassemble the item into smaller, more manageable pieces. If disassembly isn’t an option, contact us for guidance on handling oversized items.

Share your project details with us, including the types and quantities of items you need to dispose of. We’ll help you select the ideal dumpster size for your needs.

Acceptable Items

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Certain restrictions apply to electronics and appliances. We provide guidance on how to properly dispose of these items.

Absolutely! Whether it's a blend of household junk, construction debris, or yard waste, our dumpsters can handle it. Let us know what you're tossing so we can guide you on the best disposal practices.

Generally, it's best to keep concrete separate from other types of debris to comply with disposal regulations. We’ll guide you on how to properly segregate your waste.

Appliances often contain materials that must be handled separately, like refrigerants in cooling units, which require specialized disposal methods to protect the environment and comply with regulations. Dumpster Dudez coordinates special pick-ups to ensure these items are disposed of safely and responsibly.

Our dumpsters are designed to accommodate large furniture pieces, including couches.

Mattresses need special attention because of their size, materials, and potential for harboring allergens and bedbugs. Additionally, their components, like springs and foam, can be recycled, requiring them to be disposed of in specific ways to ensure environmental responsibility and compliance with local regulations.

Residential

It is often possible but check for local permits. We can assist with navigating these regulations to ensure compliance.

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.

Letting organic debris sit too long can lead to pest issues, mold, or water damage. With a dumpster on-site, you can clear the area quickly and keep your yard in good condition.

Our dumpsters are perfect for most types of organic waste, including:

  • Storm debris
  • Grass clippings
  • Weeds and garden waste
  • Fencing and wooden decks
  • Leaves and shrub trimmings
  • Tree limbs, branches, stumps, logs
  • Mulch, sod, and soil (with prior approval)

Do Not Include: Treated wood, hazardous materials, and contaminated soil.

Pricing depends on the dumpster size, your location, and the type of debris being removed. Landscaping projects involving heavier materials, such as soil or concrete, may increase the total cost due to weight limits. For the most accurate quote, contact Dumpster Dudez and we’ll walk you through the options.

Our standard rental period works well for most landscaping jobs. If you need more time, just let us know, and we can extend the rental.

A small cleanup may only need a 10-yard dumpster. Larger projects like tree removal or hardscaping usually call for a 15- or 20-yard container. If you're unsure, give us a call—we’ll help you pick the perfect size.

One dumpster can cover a variety of jobs, like clearing brush, digging out flower beds, trimming trees, or removing old fencing. If you're also disposing of heavier materials like concrete or stone, let us know so we can recommend the right container.

If your dumpster fills up sooner than expected, contact us and we’ll schedule a pickup and bring a new container if needed. That way, you can keep your project moving without interruptions.

For large landscaping projects, a rental dumpster is a more cost-effective option. Purchasing lots of yard waste bags and then hauling everything yourself to the dump takes time, money, and effort.

With a rental dumpster, you can simply toss everything in one place and have it picked up when you’re finished.

Commercial

A commercial roll-off dumpster is a large bin used for business or job site cleanups. It's called “roll-off” because it rolls off the back of our truck when we deliver it. You load it at your pace, and when it’s full, we pick it up — fast, simple, and hassle-free.

Of course you can! Our roll-off dumpsters are a go-to choice for homeowners and contractors handling renovations, remodels, or new builds. Construction debris, such as wood, drywall, roofing, and flooring, are no problem for our dumpsters! A dumpster helps keep your job site clean, safe, and running smoothly.

Pricing for a commercial rental depends on the dumpster size and rental duration.

At Dumpster Dudez, we offer upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Just share a few project details with us, and our team will recommend the best dumpster size and rental period to fit your timeline and budget.

Pickup frequency depends on your project needs. At Dumpster Dudez, we understand that timelines shift, which is why we offer flexible scheduling to our customers.

If your original pickup date needs to change, contact our team. We can help you extend your rental period or add extra pickups, so you can continue your project without the stress of delays or overflowing debris.

Yes, there are both. Each dumpster has a weight and fill limit based on its size to ensure safe hauling for our Dudez. Additionally, certain items, like hazardous materials, liquids, batteries, and electronics, are restricted and shouldn’t be placed in the dumpster.

For a full list of acceptable and prohibited items, contact us or view our online guide.

A dumpster on-site gives contractors more control over the job. It cuts down on cleanup time, keeps walkways clear, and helps your team stay focused on the work, not the mess.

Choosing the right size depends on the type and volume of waste your business generates. At Dumpster Dudez, we offer 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-yard containers—each designed to hold several pickup truck loads of waste while fitting neatly in most spaces.

Tell us about your project or daily operations, and our team will recommend the best size to handle your waste efficiently without overpaying for unused space.

Just about any business with a project on their hands can benefit, including:

  • Construction and renovation companies
  • Property management firms
  • Retail stores and restaurants
  • Schools and universities
  • Warehouses and manufacturers
  • Event venues and planners

A commercial dumpster is a large container used to manage waste at businesses, construction sites, and other commercial properties. It’s built to handle bigger, heavier loads than a standard trash bin and is ideal for short-term or ongoing cleanup needs.

The 20-yard dumpster is our most popular option for commercial use. It can hold up to 10 pickup truck loads of waste and fits into a standard parking space, making it a great choice for tasks such as office cleanouts, store remodels, and construction projects.

Absolutely. Contractors, retailers, property managers, restaurants, and other businesses can all rent dumpsters. We’ll help you choose the right size and set up a rental plan that fits your schedule.
