We offer flexible delivery options to meet your needs. For same-day delivery, place your order before 9:00 AM, and if our route has capacity, we'll deliver it that day. Next-day delivery is typically available across Cleveland, Akron, Canton, and Lorain. We recommend informing us if the delivery location is downtown or has a tight driveway, as this helps us schedule appropriately.What size dumpster should I rent for my project?
The appropriate dumpster size depends on your project. For cleanouts and small projects, we recommend a 10-15 yard dumpster. Remodels, roofing, and contractor jobs typically require a 20-30 yard dumpster. Large demolition or commercial projects may need a 40 yard container, when available. We have a custom sizing chart that matches container sizes to specific materials and project lengths. If you're still unsure, please call us or submit a form, and we can help you determine the right size within 30 seconds.What items are not allowed in the dumpster?
Certain items are prohibited or restricted in our dumpsters. Paint, liquids, chemicals, and hazardous materials are not allowed. Batteries, tires, and refrigerants are restricted, but you can ask us about these items. Construction debris, household junk, furniture, and yard waste are generally acceptable. If you're uncertain about any items, please inform us about what you're disposing of, and we'll provide guidance.How long can I keep the dumpster?
Our standard rental period is 7 days. For longer projects, we offer extensions throughout Northeast Ohio. If you need extra time, there's a small daily or weekly fee. We're flexible and can accommodate various project durations.Do I need a permit to place a dumpster in Cleveland, Akron, or Canton?
Permit requirements vary based on the dumpster's location. For driveways or private property, a permit is usually not necessary. However, if you're placing the dumpster on the street or in a right-of-way, some cities require a short-term permit. We're here to assist you and can direct you to the appropriate city office for permit information if needed.
