How much dirt, concrete, or brick can I put in the dumpster or roll off container?
Only 10 and 20 yard dumpsters should be used for dirt, concrete, or brick. You can only fill these dumpsters 1/2 way, so that the weight is not too much to transport. A 30 yard dumpster should not be used for dirt, concrete, or brick, as the weight is too much to transport. Doing so will result in additional charges.
How much can I put into the dumpster?
No matter what size dumpster or roll off container you receive, you can not fill the dumpster or roll off container above the top lip. Everything must be within the top of the dumpster and level. If you fill the dumpster above the lip, we will not be able to transport it, and you will be charged a trip fee.
What payment methods are accepted?
