Questions & Answers

1. How do I know if I have enough space for a container to be placed at my property?
Our roll-off containers are Shaped like boxes, meaning they are shorter length-wise and taller height-wise than most other companies. This gives us the advantage to put them in tighter spots than most. Great for short driveways or where space is at a premium.

2. How big are your containers?

- 10yd Container - (14' long x 8' wide x 4' high)
Capacity - 10 cubic yards (approximately 3 full size pickup truck loads)
Tonnage Limit - 1 Tons* (2,000 pounds)

- 20yd Container - (16' long x 8' wide x 6' high)
Capacity - 20 cubic yards (approximately 6 full size pickup truck loads)
Tonnage Limit - 2 Tons*

- 30yd Container - (19' long x 8' wide x 6' high)
Capacity - 30 cubic yards (approximately 7 full size pickup truck loads)
Tonnage Limit - 3 Tons*

*Extra fees apply when exceeding tonnage limits.

3. What am I not allowed to put in the container?
NO: Tires, car batteries, chemicals (lawn products, pesticides, etc.), hazardous materials, liquids (paints, paint thinners, etc.), Freon devices (refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioning units), gas or propane tanks or bottles, or engine parts with oil or gas still in them.*

*Extra fees or rejection of the container load will apply if these items are found in the containers.

4. How long can I keep the container?
Our containers can be kept for up to 14 days. There is a $50.00 per week charge after 14 days.

5. Can I keep the container longer?
If you would like to keep the container any longer than the specified timeframe. If we can spare the container, we will gladly allow a few extra days. We however cannot guarantee we will be able to allow any extra time. Normally we charge $50.00 per week to keep the container. Please make sure that you are completely finished when calling into our office to schedule pickup, and that the area is clear for us to access the container. Do not place locks on containers

6. Do I need to call the office for the container to be picked up?
Yes, you must call us to schedule pickups. If you are done with the container earlier than expected, give us a call and we will schedule an early removal.

7. What if I need another container?
Call on us for a switch out. We will bring an empty container and remove the full container. You will have to pay the full price for the second container. We do not automatically pick up containers after the 2 week rental is complete. We require you to call for scheduled pickup

8. What do I pay if my container exceeds the weight limit?
Landfill prices are getting higher and higher! Please be advised, when you agree to accept our service, you agree to pay any overweight. The entire industry works from a tipping tonnage system. When the container removed from your service address is taken to the landfill, it is weighed, and a dump ticket is given to the driver who performed the service. 

9. How do I pay, and do I have to be on location for delivery?
We accept C.O.D. cash and check at delivery. You must be on location to pay C.O.D., or if you have special placement instructions. If you pre-pay by credit card (Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express), you do not have to be on location when the container is delivered. If you will not be onsite, it is best to place something like a cone, trash can or small sign to help our drivers know exactly where you want the container. 

10. How much material can I put in the container?
All of our containers are marked clearly with a "level" fill line sticker. We have restrictions by the Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) on what we can haul. Any items above the top of the container will be removed for pickup, or you will be requested to off load material before we can safely haul the container. Please Note: The container is your responsibility while in your possession until the time we pick it up. Make your neighbors aware that it cost you money to rent it, and it is not a community cleanup event. A tarp often times help keep down the amount of people trying to help you load "your" container. We do not provide tarps.

11. Can the containers damage my property?
YES. Our containers have wheels on the rear that help them "roll-off" onto the ground. Lawns may appear dry, but often with rain, the containers or our trucks can sink into the ground. Asphalt driveways under the hot summer sun, can have divots left in them from the weight of the containers. Often putting a piece of plywood down for the container rails to sit on will cut down on possible scratching or scarring of driveways, or ruts in dirt. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE for damage done due to placement or pickup of our containers. Our Drivers have the right to deny placement in areas that they deem "unsafe". Call us if you have concerns on where to place your container.

12. What areas do you service?
We currently service Charles, St. Mary's & Calvert Counties.
