There are no fuel surcharges, no environmental surcharges, no delivery charges and no sales tax. The price for each dumpster includes delivery, daily rental, pickup and disposal of the debris at the landfill up to the specified weight allowance for the dumpster you choose.
You're in a hurry to get rid of your trash and keep your project moving. We know that. That's why we're committed to making sure you get your dumpster within one day of calling our office and whenever possible, we'll have your dumpster sitting in your driveway or yard the very same day you order!
When the dumpster is picked up the driver will put a tarp over the load for containment during transport. We ask that you don't load any material above the 'Do Not Fill Beyond This Point' line on the container. Filling past this point will interfere with our ability to cover the container with the tarp needed to transport it. Try to keep the load flat and distribute the weight as evenly as possible. If for any reason the dumpster is improperly loaded and cannot be transported safely, you will have to unload the dumpster to a safe level before we can remove it. Additional charges may be assessed.
St. Louis city Laws state that we have to cover the top of the bins to make sure no debris flies out of it while on the road, so filling it too high might cause a problem with getting the cover on.
Once you've filled the dumpster, give us a call the day before you want it picked up and we’ll come the next day and pick it up. If you need another dumpster you can order a swap, and we'll drop off an empty dumpster when we pick up the full one.
