Question 1

How do I know which dumpster size I need?

Accepted Answer

Match the container to your debris type and volume. A 10-yard handles a single-room cleanout or small garage; a 20-yard covers most whole-home cleanouts and large remodels; 30- and 40-yard containers are built for commercial and heavy construction loads. If you're between sizes, go up — it's cheaper than ordering a second container. Call us with your project details and we'll confirm.

Question 2

What does the rental price include?

Accepted Answer

Your quote includes delivery, pickup, a set rental period, and a tonnage allowance. Pricing, the included days, and the weight allowance are confirmed at the time of ordering, so you know the full picture before you book. Overweight loads, extra days, and certain materials may add charges.

Question 3

How long can I keep the dumpster?

Accepted Answer

Each rental includes a standard rental period — confirm the exact number of days when you book. If you need more time, let us know before the period ends; extended days may add a daily fee.

Question 4

What can't go in the dumpster?

Accepted Answer

Hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, solvents, liquids, tires, batteries, refrigerants, and asbestos are not accepted in standard roll-off containers. These require specialized disposal. If you're unsure about a material, ask before loading it.

Question 5

Will the dumpster damage my driveway?

Accepted Answer

Roll-off trucks are heavy, and the container rests on your surface during the rental. We use boards under the container to distribute weight and protect concrete and asphalt. Tell us about your surface and any concerns so we can place it safely.

Question 6

Do I need to be home for delivery?

Accepted Answer

No, as long as the drop spot is accessible and clearly identified. Many customers mark the location with cones or a parked car and leave clear instructions. You do need to make sure the area is clear of vehicles and obstacles.

Question 7

How full can I fill the dumpster?

Accepted Answer

Load level to the top of the container — not above. Overloaded containers can't be safely covered and hauled, and may incur extra charges or require you to remove material. Distribute weight evenly, with heavier items on the bottom.

Question 8

How fast can you deliver?

Accepted Answer

Same-day or next-day delivery is common when you book early, but availability varies by season and route. During peak construction season (spring through fall), booking a day or two ahead is the safest approach.

Question 9

Do you serve my address?

Accepted Answer

We serve Janesville and surrounding communities within roughly 25 miles, primarily in Rock County. Parts of Dane, Green, Jefferson, and Walworth counties are available depending on the delivery address and applicable distance charges. Enter your ZIP code when booking or call to confirm.

Question 10

Are there distance charges outside Janesville?

Accepted Answer

Deliveries within the core Rock County area are typically included. Addresses farther out — especially in Dane, Green, Jefferson, or Walworth counties — may include a distance charge depending on the location. We confirm any distance fees before you book.

Question 11

What if my load is overweight?

Accepted Answer

Each container size includes a tonnage allowance. If the load exceeds the included weight, additional tipping fees apply based on the actual weight at the disposal facility. We confirm the allowance and any overage rate when you book, so there are no surprises.

Question 12

Can I rent a dumpster for a commercial job site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We serve contractors, builders, and businesses across Rock County and surrounding areas. For commercial jobs, a 30- or 40-yard container or a scheduled swap plan is usually the most efficient setup.
