Q) Will there be any additional costs?
A: Only if your dumpster rental exceeds the specified weight limit, it will be charged an ‘overweight fee’ because it increases our cost to dump the construction and demolition debris. This fee is calculated by multiplying the ‘overweight’ fee per ton price (specified upon order of dumpster) by the amount of the weight exceed. All overage fees are base on weight only, not the volume/fullness of the container. Weight limit varies by dumpster size and will be specified upon order. If you’re not sure how much your debris weighs, call us at 631-648-9088 and we’ll be happy to advise you on the right sized dumpster rental for your project.
Q) Do prices vary depending on the material being disposed of?
A: Yes, your rate can vary depending on recyclable materials, construction and demolition debris or traditional household junk. Materials such as clean concrete and dirt are charged a flat rate with no weight limits, while roofing debris tends to be extremely heavy. Please specify what debris you’ll be filling the container with, as it will help us provide you with the most accurate quote on your dumpster rental.
