How soon can I get a dumpster?
We always attempt to deliver on the same day of your order or next business day. Usually we can deliver same day if your order is received by noon of that day. We will always accommodate same-day deliveries whenever possible.
When will the container be picked up?
Typical residential placements are for 3 or 7 days, but shorter or longer periods of time can be arranged. Licensed contractors may qualify for extended set times. We will try to contact you the day before a scheduled pickup to confirm the dumpster is ready.
Where will the container be placed?
The dumpster can be placed wherever the customer requests provided it does not create a safety hazard. If allowed by your city, street placement must comply with local regulations and may require a permit (additional costs may apply). All placements must be on solid surface such as asphalt, concrete, or gravel driveway.
Will the roll-off container damage my driveway?
No. Our containers are designed with wide rollers to alleviate driveway damage. We also provide driveway protection pads as an option to protect the driveway so dumpsters on new, stamped or faux finishes are completely protected.
How full can I fill my roll-off?
Dumpsters may be filled level to the top edge of the container. Overloaded materials may require the customer to offload excess material to facilitate safe travel. Please don’t allow limbs or boards to stick above the top edge of the container.
Will the load be covered?
Yes. We will tarp the load before transport. Please make sure that the entire load is below the top edge of the dumpster.
Does someone need to be present at the time of drop-off or pick-up?
As long as the area is accessible with no obstructions, and we have good placement instructions, no one needs to be at the delivery location.
Can I move the dumpster container?
No. The roll-offs are designed to be moved only by specially equipped vehicles otherwise property and/or dumpster damage may result.
Can I keep the dumpster for longer than the initial rental period?
Yes, you can keep the dumpster as long as you need as long as you notify First Response Dumpsters at least 24 hours prior to our scheduled pick-up. After the Initial Rental Period, there is a daily rental fee of $20 per day.
