"What, I loved working with a dumpster company? It's true! Lincoln came when they said, protected the driveway and delivered the cleanest, nicest dumpster I ever had the privilege of filling. I warmly recommend Lincoln Removal."
"Great customer service and flexible with scheduling. They even came early one day because they were in the area. I’ll recommend them to anyone who wants junk removal."
"Dumpster was delivered on time and placed in driveway without leaving marks on my pavement. Picked up as soon as I ask to have it removed. Driver was very friendly and professional. Would recommend to any one needing a dumpster service."
"Prompt response… very professional! I have been without a sink for two weeks, called a few companies and no follow up.. Tejadas was able to fit me in right away.. they were at my home on time and did a great job cutting my granite countertop and positioned my sink to get installed by the plumber… I would definitely hire them again for any future jobs"
"Starling called me back right away and came over and gave quote. Was at my home 2 days later doing a fall clean up. Price was reasonable. Highly recommend!"
"We used Boston Junk Haulers for debris removal and cleanup at one of our job sites, and I was very pleased with their service. They were responsive, showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left the job site clean when they were finished. Very professional and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend Boston Junk Haulers and will be using them again for future projects."
"My lawn needed a good dethatching, and when the crew arrived, the lawn was still wet. Instead of rushing the job, they came back later in the day and dethatched it once it had dried — exactly the way it should be done. Most landscapers would not have taken that extra step. They also edged the beds and added fresh mulch and compost. The crew was professional, attentive, and very responsive to my needs throughout the entire project. By far the best job done on my property in years at a fair price."
"David and Larry did an awesome job. They were careful with the furniture and the surrounding areas. They were professional and very very nice and they were on time and were quick to get the items out of the house. I am going to hire them again when it is time to move. They did a great job."
Finding the right dumpster rental company for your needs requires interviewing companies to ask about rental timelines, costs, and weight limits. Here are some questions you can ask a dumpster rental company you’re considering:
How long are your standard rental contracts? Can I extend it?
What is the maximum weight your dumpsters can hold?
Does the rental include dumping fees?
Do I need a permit, and will you pull it for me?
Will you protect my driveway from damage?
The average dumpster rental duration is between five and 14 days, though some companies offer standard periods of five to seven days. You can typically rent a dumpster for as long as you need, from a few days to several months, making it suitable for various project sizes. Rental companies may charge by the day, week, or month. If you need to extend your rental for a large-scale project, be aware that longer periods usually incur higher fees. It's best to check with your local dumpster rental company to understand their specific options, pricing structures, and costs for extending your contract.
It’s best practice to responsibly dispose of a refrigerator, as it can contain substances that are harmful to the environment, and to avoid illegal dumping. Explore other options for getting rid of an old refrigerator such as selling it on Facebook Marketplace, recycling it at a local scrap yard, or donating it to a nonprofit organization.
When used properly according to the rental safety guidelines, a dumpster is safe to use. To avoid injury, use safety precautions like work gloves and sturdy shoes, load the dumpster as recommended by the rental company with heavier items going in first, don’t overload the dumpster, and don’t put hazardous or prohibited material inside the dumpster.
