How Should I Prepare for Delivery?
Once you’ve ordered your 12 yard dumpster rental with our team, it’s time to make space for the bin to get delivered. Follow these four steps for an effortless drop off.
1. Make Space for Your Delivery.
Your driveway must be 60 feet long to fit a 12 yard dumpster rental. Make sure your drop-off location is clear of any obstructions, like your car.
2. Check for Overhead Wires and Branches.
To place your dumpster correctly we need 23 to 25 feet of vertical clearance. Make sure you choose an area away from overhead wires, tree branches or basketball hoops.
3. Prepare Your Drop-Off Spot.
You don’t need to be there when we drop off your dumpster, but make sure we can get to your drop-off location. Open any entrance gates to your property and lay down cones or plywood to mark your delivery spot.
4. Know What You’re Tossing.
Pay attention to what, and how much, you're tossing to stay within your roll off container’s weight limit and avoid disposal of prohibited items.
12 Yard Dumpster FAQs
What can’t go in a 12 yard dumpster?
While we accept most debris types, there are some prohibited items we can’t take due to environmental and safety concerns. These materials include asbestos, lithium batteries and other hazardous items. Tossing these items poses a safety risk and may damage the container.
How long can I rent a 12 yard dumpster?
Usually, you can keep your 12 yard dumpster for seven to ten days. Keep in mind rental periods vary by location, and may be three to five days depending on your area. If you’re tackling a longer project, we can extend your dumpster rental for a daily flat rate.
We recommend loading large, heavy materials in through the swinging door and evenly spacing them throughout the container to distribute the weight evenly. Then toss light items over the sides. Make sure your debris isn’t hanging over the top of the container when it’s time for pickup.
