Intro To Recycling

Posted on: 15 September 2015

There are many reasons as to why you may need to rent a roll-off dumpster for your property. Perhaps you're having a large construction project done that will generate lots of trash and debris, or perhaps you're simply looking to get rid of lots of unnecessary clutter. Regardless of your reason for needing a roll-off dumpster rental, of course you want to get a fair price. By taking the time to ask a rental company four important questions, you can find the right professionals for the job.

What Kind of Trash Can You Haul Away?

Start by making sure that the roll-off dumpster company (like East Central Sanitation & Recycling) will be able to accept and transport the kinds of trash and waste that your project will be generating. More than likely, the company will have some restrictions on the transport of hazardous materials, such as paints and other chemicals. The company may not be able to transport these materials at all, or may have to charge you extra for the special arrangements needed to transport it.

Will You Obtain Any Necessary Permits?

Depending on the local regulations and laws where you live, it may be necessary to obtain a permit for having the dumpster on your property. If this is the case, you'll want to find a roll-off dumpster company that will take care of this for you and include obtaining the permit in your quote or estimate. This will save you the time, money, and hassle of having to apply for a permit on your own.

How Do You Charge for Late Returns?

Sometimes, you simply need your roll-off dumpster for longer than you originally intended. Perhaps the construction company that's working on your property fell behind on schedule or some other delay has pushed back your completion. Either way, you'll want to find out ahead time what the company's policy is for late dumpster returns. Will you be charged additional fees or penalties for needing extra time, or can you simply pay per day?

How Much Space is Needed for Delivery/Pickup?

Finally, make sure you find out ahead of time how much space you'll need on your property not only for the roll-off dumpster itself, but for the truck to come and drop it off or pick it up. This is something that some homeowners fail to consider and, as a result, may have a hard time getting the dumpster they need on their property.
