Why do dumpster prices vary so much?
Dumpster prices vary with the size, the included weight and days, the landfill's fee per ton, the distance to your project and the type of debris. A low price with 1 ton included can cost more in the end than a higher price with 3 tons included.
When you compare quotes, ask each company four questions: how many tons are included, what the overage rate is, whether you'll get the scale ticket, and when the final invoice is sent. How our weight billing works
How to keep your cost down
- Pick the size that fits the whole job, so you don't pay for a swap.
- Keep concrete, dirt and brick out of big dumpsters.
- Load level with the rim to avoid a dry run.
- Call for pickup as soon as you're done.
Dumpster cost questions
Why don't you list one price for every dumpster?
Our flat rates change with the season, so we quote the current price on the phone. Every quote includes the size, delivery and pickup, 7 days and the included tons, plus the $75-per-ton overage rate.
Is a swap cheaper than a second dumpster?
A swap costs the same as a new flat-rate rental: we pull your full dumpster and drop an empty one. The new dumpster comes with its own 7 days and included tons.
Is there a fee for same-day delivery?
Yes. Same-day emergency delivery is a $50 rush fee, and it depends on a truck being free that day. Book by 3 PM for guaranteed next-day delivery at no rush fee.
What is a dry-run fee?
A dry run is a trip where our driver can't drop off or pick up the dumpster, usually because of a parked car, low wires or a locked gate. A dry run costs $125.
Do mattresses cost extra in a dumpster?
Yes. Mattresses are $50 extra each because the landfill processes them separately. The same $50 fee applies to tires and to fridges or AC units that contain Freon.
