Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?
Yes. We offer same-day and next-day dumpster delivery across many Pacific Northwest locations, depending on availability. If you need a dumpster quickly for an urgent cleanup or construction project, contact us as early as possible for the best chance at same-day service.
What sizes of dumpsters do you rent?
We offer a variety of dumpster sizes to accommodate projects of all types, including small home cleanouts and large construction jobs. Our team can help you choose the right size to avoid overpaying or needing multiple dumpsters.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
Standard rental periods typically range from 7 to 14 days, but we offer flexible rental options. If your project takes longer than expected, extensions are usually available at an affordable daily rate.
What can I put in the dumpster?
Most household junk, construction debris, furniture, wood, roofing materials, and yard waste are allowed. However, hazardous materials such as chemicals, paint, batteries, tires, and electronics may be restricted. Always ask if you’re unsure.
Are there items that cannot go in a dumpster?
Yes. Prohibited items typically include hazardous waste, asbestos, flammable materials, medical waste, and certain electronics. These restrictions help protect the environment and ensure compliance with local regulations across the Pacific Northwest.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster rental?
If your dumpster will be placed on public property such as a street or sidewalk, a permit may be required—especially in cities like Seattle, Tacoma, or Portland. If the dumpster stays on private property, permits are usually not needed. We can help guide you through local permit requirements.
How do I choose the right dumpster size?
Choosing the right dumpster size depends on the amount and type of debris. For small cleanouts, a smaller dumpster may be enough, while construction or roofing projects often require larger containers. Our team will recommend the best option based on your project details.
Do you offer long-term or construction dumpster rentals?
Yes. We provide long-term dumpster rentals for construction sites, renovations, and ongoing commercial projects throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Flexible scheduling and reliable service make us a trusted partner for contractors.
Are there extra fees I should know about?
Our pricing is transparent. Extra charges may apply if weight limits are exceeded, prohibited materials are disposed of, or rental periods are extended. We explain all potential fees upfront so there are no surprises.
What areas do you service in the Pacific Northwest?
We service a wide area across the Pacific Northwest, including Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Portland, Eugene, Salem, Vancouver, and surrounding suburbs. If you’re unsure whether we serve your location, just give us a call.
