"The owner was courteous, knowledgeable and straightforward. His employees were also courteous and very friendly. They came at the scheduled time and worked quickly and effectively. There were a couple of couches they had to move and I wasn't sure they could get them out of the rooms they were in with doing some damaged, however they did get them out without doing any damage to the area. They also made sure anything I wanted done was taken care of to my satisfaction. I asked them to move some furniture, that I was going to donate, out of the basement and into the garage. which they did without any problem. Finally the estimate I was given before the job was done is what I ended up paying. That is why I am giving them a five star rating and would recommend them to anyone who asked."

"i desperately needed gutter cleaning the day before a major storm. I spoke with Dave initially and he worked with me to make it possible and sent out his crew by the afternoon to my house. His crew was so professional and worked very hard to make sure that all the work was done for me and they cleaned up and got rid of all the mess. This company could not have been nicer and helpful. I highly recommend them and am thankful that I found their business."

"Larry Thomas from 212 Exchange Street made this process as good as you could possibly expect. His price was reasonable, there was no fear mongering or upsells. He treated the project with urgency from filing the paperwork to getting the environmental clearance. the project was completed more quickly than I expected with NO SURPRISES. I would recommend him to anyone that requires the removal of potentially harmful material. Larry is a good hearted professional."

"I want to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful job Jon from Brownstone Disposal LLC did trimming down our high grass plants. His work was exceptional, and I would give it 10 stars if I could. He was extremely professional, communicated clearly, and provided very helpful advice after completing the job on how to maintain the plants. He definitely checked all the boxes of a hard worker who truly knows what they are doing. Highly recommend looking to this company, I was very happy with the entire process. Thank you again for your hard work!"

Dumpster Service FAQs, answered by experts

Garbage removal is a project you can do yourself, but hiring a professional to get the job done is often worthwhile. Depending on the type and amount of junk, you could be looking at a very labor-intensive job, dumping fees, dumpster charges, and potentially unsafe working conditions. Hiring a professional junk removal company not only saves you time and energy and keeps you safe, but it also means you don’t have to worry about carting the junk away or coordinating a dumpster and getting a permit for it.

The best way to determine the right dumpster size for your project is to speak with a reputable dumpster rental company. Let them know what kind of job you're doing and the types of materials you'll be disposing of. These professionals have experience fitting heavy and bulky items into their dumpsters and can guide you on how to dispose of everything safely and legally. A representative should be able to recommend the best dumpster for your needs. Often, the company will advise you to choose a slightly larger size to help you avoid potential overage charges.

Depending on the specific model, there are multiple ways to charge the battery of a dump trailer. Some require an extension cord or wire to be plugged into a 110V AC outlet or directly into the towing vehicle. Other charging options include using solar panels or a proprietary charging system.

Consider timing, material type, placement spot, duration, and access requirements. Contact your provider for details on pick-up calendars and restrictions.

No, you can’t throw anything in a dumpster. For example, organic waste should not be thrown in a dumpster. While you can throw recyclable materials in a dumpster, it is encouraged to separate them and properly recycle them for the sake of the environment.
