The right size. A flat price. Pickup that actually happens.
Good for garage cleanouts, small renovations, and single-room projects. Fits in most driveways in Northeast Ithaca, NY. Holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads.
The most popular size. Works for kitchen and bathroom remodels, roofing debris, and estate cleanouts. Low profile for easier loading.
For larger projects: whole-home renovations, construction debris, major landscaping. Requires more space but handles serious volume.
Maximum capacity. For demolition, commercial cleanouts, and industrial projects. Requires adequate site clearance.
Concrete, dirt, and rock need dedicated containers rated for the weight. We size these specifically for heavy loads.
A contractor rents dumpsters through a national company. Pricing varies per job. Pickups are scheduled in two-day windows. Overage charges appear regularly.
Same contractor switches to us. Fixed pricing per size. Pickups on specific dates. Weight limits explained upfront — and realistic for each project type. Overages in the past year: zero.
The result: predictable costs, less time managing vendors, more focus on actual work.
We ask about your project before you book. Then we recommend a container size based on actual volume and materials — not just "the bigger one."
Every rental includes a confirmed delivery window. You'll know when to expect us, and we verify access before the truck rolls.
You choose your pickup date. If you need to extend, we have clear daily rates — no guessing.
Every container has a weight limit. We explain what that means in practical terms. Overages only happen when limits are genuinely exceeded — and you'll know the threshold before you start loading.
Friction 1: Mystery pricing.
Our quotes include delivery, pickup, and rental period. No fuel surcharges, no admin fees.
Friction 2: Vague delivery windows.
We give you a specific window and stick to it. You're not losing half a day waiting for "sometime today."
Friction 3: Pickups that need chasing.
We confirm pickup dates and show up. If something changes, you hear about it first.
The most common billing surprise is weight overages. Here's how to avoid them.
Every container has a weight limit, measured in tons. A 20-yard might have a 3-ton limit. That's plenty for general debris — drywall, wood, household junk. But concrete, dirt, or shingles add up fast.
Practical rules:
We talk through expected weight before delivery. If you're unsure, ask — avoiding an overage is better than disputing one.
