How Should I Prepare for Delivery?

Once you’ve ordered your 10 yard dumpster, follow these four simple steps for a seamless delivery:

1. Create Space for Your Dumpster.

Your driveway or designated drop-off spot needs to have 60 feet of space to fit your 10 yard container. Make sure to move any potential obstacles, like cars, equipment or basketball hoops, before delivery. And unlock any gates for our driver.

2. Make Sure There’s Room Above Your Bin.

Have branches or wires hanging above your delivery spot? Our driver needs 23 to 25 feet of vertical space to drop off your bin, so try to choose a space free of low-hanging obstacles.

3. Go About Your Day While Waiting for Arrival.

You don’t need to be present for your dumpster delivery. Your container can arrive at any point on your delivery day because we schedule drop-offs around the most fuel-efficient routes.

4. Get Started on Your Junk Removal Project.

It’s cleanup time! Simply walk your items through the dumpster door or toss them over the sides. Make sure to avoid any additional fees by staying below your weight limit and keeping prohibited items out of your bin.
