Waste Away Services Frequently Asked Questions

Need answers? We’ve rounded up the most common questions about dumpster rentals in East Texas to help make your next cleanup project simple.

Dumpster Sizes, Delivery & Rentals

▶

What dumpster sizes do you offer?

We offer two sizes: a 6-yard Heavy-Load Dumpster (14' L × 7.5' W × 2' H) ideal for dense material like concrete, and a 20-yard Dumpster (14' L × 7' W × 6' H) for general residential or construction cleanup. Both include up to 7 days of rental.

▶

How does the rental process work?

Our 4-step process is simple:
1. Schedule online or call us.
2. Prepare a flat, clear drop-off location.
3. Load acceptable debris safely.
4. Call us when ready for pickup!

▶

How long can I keep the dumpster?

All rentals include 7 days. Need more time? Give us a call—we offer flexible extensions to fit your project.

▶

What’s included in the rental price?

Flat-rate pricing includes delivery, pickup, and 7-day use. No surprise fees unless outside the standard service area or if weight limits are exceeded.

▶

Will the dumpster damage my driveway?

Dumpsters may scratch concrete or asphalt. We recommend placing plywood under the wheels to protect your driveway. Let us know if you need tips on setup.

What You Can (and Can't) Toss

▶

What materials are allowed in the dumpster?

You can toss household junk, furniture, yard debris, rock, brick, concrete, dirt, sod, and construction materials. Prohibited: paint, chemicals, tires, batteries, electronics, appliances with Freon, and hazardous waste.

▶

Is there a weight limit or overage fee?

Yes—each dumpster has a weight limit based on material type. Overloading may result in additional charges. We’ll help you choose the right size to avoid surprise costs.

▶

How should I load the dumpster?

Load heavy items first, distribute weight evenly, and keep everything below the fill line. Never overload—this helps ensure safe transport and easy pickup.

Placement & Local Regulations

▶

Do I need a permit for my dumpster?

No permit is needed if placed on your driveway or private property. If using public streets or sidewalks, check with your city—we can help guide you.

▶

Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?

Nope! Just provide clear instructions for placement and make sure the drop area is accessible. We'll handle the rest.

▶

What if it rains—should I cover the dumpster?

Yes—especially if you’re tossing heavy materials like dirt. Rain adds weight and could lead to overage fees. A tarp works great!

Customer Service & Special Scenarios

▶

What if the dumpster arrives with trash inside?

Snap a quick photo and contact us immediately. We’ll make it right. Our dumpsters are always delivered clean and ready.

▶

Can I extend my rental?

Absolutely! Just reach out before your scheduled pickup, and we’ll work out the extra days with transparent daily rates.
