Frequently Asked Questions
When I rent a dumpster, what size should I get?
The roll off dumpster you need depends on your job and the trash you’re throwing away. If you’re completing a small home cleanout or improvement project, our 10 yard bin should work. Tackling a large commercial renovation or demolition cleanup? Our 25 yard dumpster is probably a better fit. We also offer a 15 yard container in Santa Cruz. When you schedule your dumpster rental, we'll help you decide which size is best for your project.
Do I need to be present for my roll off dumpster delivery?
No, you don’t have to be there when your dumpster rental arrives. Just make sure the drop-off location is accessible and clear before our truck pulls in. Open any entry gates to your property and move potential obstacles out of the way. This includes cars, equipment and basketball hoops. Planning to keep your roll off container in the street or blocking the sidewalk? Check with the city of Santa Cruz to see if you need a permit first. Contact our team for more delivery tips and tricks.
How It Works
1. Choose a size and delivery spot. We require 60 feet of space in a straight line and 23 feet of vertical clearance.
2. Prepare for delivery. Remove any vehicles, materials or low-hanging obstacles to ensure we can deliver your dumpster and to avoid a trip fee.
3. Fill up your dumpster. Remember to keep your included weight limit in mind to prevent overage fees.
4. Schedule your pickup. To ensure pickup and avoid a trip fee, your dumpster must be accessible and only contain approved debris piled no higher than the sidewalls.
