"I reached out to them and got a response the same day. They were quick to respond and also made time in their schedule to come and help with my yard. I was very grateful for all the work they did even though there was some miscommunication, they did a great job and I would highly recommend them and will continue to use them for future lawn maintenance."

"David did an awesome job. He came out measured the space and ordered the material We had just bought the property and have a dog so we asked for him to install as soon as possible. He started on a Friday and finished on Saturday. He wouldn't accept payment until we were completely satisfied with the work. Great job."

Waste Removal Services FAQs, answered by experts

Typical rentals are weekly but extendable by request. Always inquire about extra days ahead of time.

A dump trailer consists of an open box bed with a short barrier that’s equipped with wheels and can be easily attached to a vehicle for transportation. This option is a favorite because it’s easy to navigate to and from destinations and is ideal for hauling small waste quantities. On the flip side, a dumpster may not have such features and will need to be loaded onto rather than attached to a vehicle to get it where you want to go. Check out the cost to rent a dump trailer or even the cost of junk removal when deciding between your options.

The best disposal method for hazardous waste is recycling or donation, if possible. That way, the world can reduce its consumption of raw materials and the volume at which materials have to be treated and disposed of. If recycling or donation is not an option, most waste can be disposed of through landfills or incinerators, but their collection and treatment are separate from regular day-to-day waste disposal. 

The items thrown into a dumpster either go to a landfill, recycling center, or a center for disposing of specialized materials. Your dumpster's destination will depend on your agreement with the company and the services they offer. If you choose to fill your dumpster with a mixture of landfill-approved items, it's important to keep recyclable and hazardous materials out of the pile.

Charcoal that contains lighter fluid or other additives is considered hazardous waste. Natural lump charcoal with no additives is not considered hazardous waste, although it is a flammable material. Burned charcoal that is reduced to ash is not considered hazardous waste and can be disposed of in an appropriate container in an outdoor trash barrel.
