Absolutely. If you only need a dumpster for a day, let us know when you book. We'll check availability and work with you to find a delivery and pickup schedule that fits your project.
We recommend booking 2 to 3 days in advance, especially during busy periods or when you need a specific delivery date. Same-day or next-day service may be available depending on our schedule.
Sometimes, yes. Same-day and next-day delivery depends on dumpster availability, your location, and our delivery schedule. Call or text us and we'll do our best to accommodate your project.
Yes. Contact us before your original rental period ends. Extensions may be available for an additional fee, depending on dumpster availability.
Yes. If you finish early, contact us to request pickup. We'll do our best to work you into our route as soon as possible.
No. You do not need to be present as long as we have clear placement instructions and the delivery and pickup area is accessible and free of obstacles.
We'll provide a general delivery window and may contact you before our driver arrives. Exact delivery times can change because of traffic, weather, route changes, or earlier jobs, so we appreciate some flexibility.
Common locations include driveways, parking lots, construction sites, and other suitable private-property locations. The placement area should be firm, reasonably level, accessible, and free of obstacles.
Most likely. Our dumpsters are designed for residential and commercial projects, but driveway width, length, slope, gates, overhead clearance, and access all matter. If you have a tight or unusual location, contact us before booking so we can help determine whether delivery is possible.
Clear the placement area and the path to it. Remove vehicles and other obstacles, unlock gates, and check for low branches, wires, equipment, or other overhead obstructions. Tell us in advance about steep slopes, tight turns, narrow access, or other site conditions.
We take reasonable precautions to minimize the risk of property damage and may use protective boards when appropriate. However, dumpsters are heavy, especially when loaded, and placement on asphalt, gravel, grass, soft ground, or other surfaces can leave marks, dents, or ruts. We'll work with you to choose the safest practical placement.
Possibly, depending on the condition and strength of the surface, access, and the weight of the loaded container. Contact us before delivery so we can evaluate the location and recommend the best placement.
We'll do our best to work with you to resolve the access issue. Please make sure vehicles, gates, equipment, branches, wires, and other obstacles are cleared before delivery and pickup. Additional charges may apply for a failed delivery or pickup if applicable under your rental agreement.
Most common household, construction, remodeling, roofing, furniture, wood, drywall, and yard debris can be accepted. Examples may include furniture, flooring, roofing shingles, wood, drywall, and general cleanup debris. If you're unsure about an item, ask us before loading it.
Prohibited materials commonly include hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, fuels, oils, pesticides, medical or biohazard waste, asbestos-containing materials, tires, batteries, pressurized cylinders or propane tanks, and appliances containing refrigerant unless properly handled. Disposal rules can vary by facility, so contact us before placing questionable materials in the dumpster.
Furniture and many household appliances can generally be accepted. Some appliances, particularly those containing refrigerants such as Freon, may require special handling. Ask us before loading refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, or similar equipment.
Roofing shingles may be accepted, but they are heavy and can reach a dumpster's weight limit quickly. Contact us before loading a large roofing job so we can confirm the appropriate dumpster and weight allowance.
Heavy materials require advance notice because they can quickly exceed a dumpster's weight allowance. Do not assume heavy materials are accepted in every dumpster. Our 5-yard dumpster is the best fit for this. Contact Bulldog before loading concrete, dirt, brick, rock, asphalt, or large amounts of soil so we can advise you on the appropriate container and disposal requirements.
Yard waste may be accepted depending on the material and disposal facility requirements. Contact us if you're disposing of a large amount of dirt, soil, brush, tree limbs, or other heavy or bulky yard material.
Just ask before you load it. Call or text us with the item or, when helpful, send a photo. We'll let you know whether it can go in the dumpster or whether it requires another disposal option.
Each dumpster size has a specific included weight allowance. The exact allowance and any additional-ton charges depend on the rental you select. Heavy materials such as concrete, dirt, brick, rock, asphalt, and shingles can reach the weight limit quickly. Contact us before loading heavy materials.
If your load exceeds the included weight allowance, an additional overage charge may apply based on the applicable rate and disposal charges. We'll provide the current weight allowance and overage pricing when you book.
No. All material must remain level with or below the top rim of the dumpster. Nothing should stick out above the container. Overfilled dumpsters can be unsafe to transport and may require you to remove excess material before pickup.
Distribute the weight evenly throughout the container, place heavier material toward the bottom when practical, break down bulky items when possible, and keep the load level with or below the top rim. Never place prohibited materials in the dumpster.
Heavy materials can quickly reach the dumpster's weight limit and can affect safe transportation and disposal requirements. Advance notice allows us to recommend the right container and help prevent unexpected weight-related charges.
Depending on your rental, additional charges may apply for extra rental days, excess weight, prohibited materials, failed delivery or pickup caused by inaccessible placement, or other circumstances covered by your rental agreement. We'll explain applicable charges before or at the time of booking.
Permit requirements depend on where the dumpster is placed. Private-property placements generally do not require a permit, while placement on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way may require approval from the local municipality. Some HOAs also have their own requirements. Check with your city or HOA when applicable.
Street placement may be possible, but it can require a city or other right-of-way permit and must comply with local rules. Contact us before placing an order if you plan to use a public street.
HOA rules vary. Some neighborhoods have restrictions on dumpster placement, rental duration, street placement, or required notice. We recommend checking with your HOA before delivery if you live in a neighborhood with an association.
Yes. We can work with contractors, remodelers, property managers, businesses, and other customers who need dumpsters for construction, renovation, cleanout, or ongoing projects. Contact us to discuss recurring or multiple-container needs.
We can discuss extended or recurring rentals based on your project needs and dumpster availability. Contact us for a customized rental arrangement.
Call or text us to arrange pickup if pickup has not already been scheduled. Before we arrive, make sure the load is level with or below the top rim, remove any prohibited items, and clear vehicles, gates, equipment, and other obstacles from the pickup area.
Disposal depends on the type of material and the receiving facility. Some materials may be recycled or processed separately when appropriate. If you have a large amount of recyclable or specialty material, ask us about the best disposal option.
With dumpster rental, we deliver the container and you load it at your own pace during the rental period. With junk removal, a crew typically loads the material for you. Dumpster rental can be a convenient option when you want to do the loading yourself or need several days to complete a project.
Call, text, or reserve your dumpster online. Tell us what you're working on, what materials you expect to dispose of, where the dumpster will go, and when you need it. We'll help you choose the right size and schedule delivery and pickup.
