Common questions
Can drywall and tile go in?
Yes. Drywall is light. Tile is heavy, so for a remodel pick "A fair amount" of tile, counters or concrete, and the weight goes up by half.
What about cabinets and countertops?
Cabinets are fine. Stone or concrete countertops are heavy: count them as tile, counters or concrete.
Do I need a permit?
A dumpster in your driveway or yard is different from one on the street. For the street or right-of-way, contact your city first. HOA rules can apply too.
What if I go over the included tons?
Your price includes a set weight, shown with the price for your ZIP (for example 3 tons). The load is weighed at the disposal site after pickup. Each ton over is charged at the per-ton price on your quote.
