Philip it would be best if you could give us a call. If we can get a better idea regarding your project we can recommend a package to best suit your needs.

Hey Philip, It doesn't really matter what your dumpster ends up actually weighing. They have a pretty clever scheme here where they will say your dumpster weighs more than it does so they can hit you with overage fees. Additionally, they sometimes say there are unacceptable items in the dumpster so they can charge additional per item fees.

I have rented two dumpsters from them in the past. One last year and one a couple weeks back. Both of them were 20 cubic yard dumpsters with a 2 ton limit. Both dumpsters I loaded myself so I knew exactly what was going in them. My first dumpster I filled to the brim with construction demo contents (2x4s, sheetrock, old plumbing, plywood etc.). That time the weight was under 2 tons.

My latest rental was the same type of material, however this time there was a empty space in the front of the dumpster (estimating about 2-3 cubic yards unused). Some how this dumpster weighed 6 tons... 12,000 lbs exactly according to the landfill slip. This was a blatant and obvious fabrication of the numbers.

On top of that, they said I had dumped 3 large car tires which I most definitely DID NOT. Before the dumpster was picked up I got inside the dumpster to shift some items around and can confirm no one else dumped tires in my bin. Customer support then fed me the BS that the tires were removed before they got to the landfill, meaning the tires would have had to be visible on top. This company has the luxury of documenting whatever BS numbers they want and you have no way to prove otherwise. They can even say items were in there that weren't actually in there and then use the excuse that someone else probably dumped them in the dumpster and those things happen. The company is SUPER SHADY. Avoid them.
