What If The Dumpster Causes Damage?

You acquire the dumpster at your own risk. Please be aware that the dumpsters and trucks are extremely heavy, so it is possible that they could cause damage to the area. We placed wood underneath the junk can when it was placed on the driveway. This protects the driveway almost always, but we are not responsible for any damage.

When the dumpster is picked up and placed on the truck, all excess water will be drained away. Yes, the weight could be affected if there are items that absorb water.

The volume of a dumpster is measured in cubic yards. Typically, waste management companies offering these bin rentals, such as ourselves, offer 14 different dumpster sizes. However, keep in mind that other retailers may not carry every available size, as some may be out of shares.

You can discuss dumpster dimensions with an expert at our company (dial 843-258-1778 immediately). Thus, you can provide an accurate estimate of the amount of junk that needs to be removed from your home or business, and our company can then recommend an appropriate size.

What goes into the junk can?

Our business accepts all household, construction, and concrete waste materials. Soil, stumps, and brush are also permitted. Keep in mind, however, that hazardous wastes such as harmful chemicals, battery liquids, asbestos, solvents, and other hazardous wastes are prohibited or require special packaging.

Consult your local county government office if you need to dispose of these types of wastes; they will be able to provide you with a list of accredited companies that can safely handle and dispose of hazardous chemicals.

What is your policy on recycling and being environmentally friendly?

We, like many dumpster rental and waste management companies, offer eco-friendly services. Typically, the dumpster’s contents are dumped at the landfill as soon as the garbage has been collected.

However, Conway Dumpster Rental Center, like the majority of dumpster rental companies today, offers bin rentals for recyclable materials. Occasionally, some companies offer to sort the contents of your recycling bins for you. You need only inquire whether they provide this service.

What size dumpster do I need?

This will depend on the scope of the project or the expected amount of waste generated. Our company’s policy has always been to inform customers of the maximum load capacity of the container unit. If you are unsure of how much junk you will generate, it is recommended that you rent a larger dumpster.

However, smaller dumpsters are preferred when remodelling or renovating a home or business. As construction debris such as cement, rocks, and other heavy materials tend to be heavier than typical junk, they can exceed the weight limits. When in doubt, please contact us by phone. The specialists in our office can assist you with this decision.

Before you sign your agreement with us, know that each city has different dumpster specifications for both private and public land. Do not forget to contact your local county and ask the requirements you need to follow. On some occasions, the rental company can assist you to garner the information you need. However, processing it would be in your hands.
