Q: How long can I rent a truck or container?

• <div><p>Rental periods range from one day to several weeks. Confirm terms with the rental company.</p></div>

Q: Are you able to put hazardous waste in a dumpster?

• <div><p>No, you can&rsquo;t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn&rsquo;t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you&rsquo;ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.</p></div>

Q: How do I know who picks up my garbage in my area?

• <div><p>When you move to a new area, check your new city's Department of Sanitation or local municipal website for more information. The site will clarify who picks up garbage in your area, how to arrange service, and your designated pickup day. You will also find instructions for purchasing the proper bins and bags for collection.</p></div>

Q: Do I need shipping insurance?

• <div><p>Yes, you need shipping insurance. Don&rsquo;t hesitate; it&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/moving-insurance-worth-cost.htm">worth the cost</a>. There&rsquo;s always a chance for accidents and errors when transporting household goods, so it's good to be prepared for various circumstances, including bad weather, loss, and disabled ships at sea. Some providers include insurance in their rental prices while others add it separately. It&rsquo;s also a smart idea to check in with your renters or homeowners insurance provider and ask about coverage included in your policy. </p><p> </p></div>

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. No, really. The Worst. Everything from dumpster dropoff to pickup times was a fight with the (owner? sales staff?) person answering the phone. At the dropoff, they wanted me to pay in full. Fine, no problem. I waited until 7 PM for the driver...

They communicated very well. They placed the dumpster on wooden blocks to prevent it from damaging the driveway. They also swept up the area around the dumpster during pick-up.
