What is a Fuel Surcharge?

Our standard Fuel Surcharge calculation is tied directly to the Central Atlantic average price of diesel fuel as reported weekly by the U.S. Department of Energy (“EIA/DOE”) in its Weekly Retail On-Highway Diesel Prices Index For CENTRAL ATLANTIC This index is objective, publicly available and widely recognized in the trucking and transportation industries. Tying our standard Fuel Surcharge to this index ensures customers are assessed a fuel surcharge that is currently adjusted and easy to calculate.

 

What do I get when I order Trashpro dumpster rental?

Each of our dumpster rentals comes with delivery to your home, office or construction site, a one week rental and disposal of your trash (up to designated weight limits). The rental period or waste volume may be increased for an additional fee.

How much do dumpster rentals cost?
The price of a dumpster rental is determined by the city of delivery, dumpster size and the type of debris you will be putting into the roll off dumpster. When you call Trashpro we will give you an all inclusive price quote based on these specifications. Remember, because we’re a local company we can give you the best price in the biz!
How far in advance do I need to order my dumpster?

It’s always a good idea to book your dumpster as far in advance as possible to ensure its delivered the day you need it. While we always appreciate a couple days notice, we realize timely delivery is critical to keeping your project moving on time and budget. Typically, as long as you place your order by noon we will be able to deliver the dumpster the next business day. In some instances same day.

How much trash will Trashpro haul off for me?
When you order your dumpster rental, our friendly customer service representatives will let you know the weight limit on the dumpster you order. This is determined by the size of the dumpster-larger dumpsters will hold more trash, and we’re happy to take care of that trash for you!
What kind of debris do you dispose of?
We specialize in working with most types of home improvement, demolition and cleanout projects, but there are some items we simply don’t have the resources to dispose of per EPA guidelines.Those items include:

  • Biohazardous materials/medical waste
  • Paint (although dry paint cans are permissible)
  • Batteries
  • Propane tanks
  • Liquids/Solvents/Freon/Chemicals
  • Equipment containing gas or oil

If you need to dispose of any of these materials, let us know and we’ll direct you to the proper agency.

What size dumpster do I need?

The size of dumpster you’re going to need will depend on the size of your project. We offer 10, 20 and 30 yard dumpsters. Recommendations are available on our website, or you can call our office and one of our friendly and experienced customer service representatives will be happy to help you reach a decision.

How high can I load my dumpster?
When the dumpster is picked up the driver will put a tarp over the load for containment during transport. We ask that you don’t load any material above the top rails of the dumpster that will interfere with the tarp. Try to keep the load flat and distribute the weight as evenly as possible. If for any reason the dumpster is improperly loaded and cannot be transported safely, you will have to unload the dumpster to a safe level before we can remove it. Additional charges may be assessed.
Can I put the dumpster on the street?

Each municipality has different regulations and permit requirements concerning dumpsters placed on private property, streets or any other public right of way. Contact your local municipality and they will provide you with the regulations and costs to purchase any necessary permits.

Who can rent a dumpster?
When it comes to renting a dumpster, many companies have turned to Trash Pro Dumpsters, and for good reason. We rent dumpsters to everyone! Most of our clients are DIY homeowners, businesses, real estate agents, charity organizations and small to mid-sized contractors; however, we have been known to work with major contractors on large industrial construction sites as well.
Will it damage my driveway or landscaping?
We know that when you mix a dumpster rental, driveway, sidewalk, grass and expensive landscaping, you might be less than thrilled with the final result! Despite our precautions, however, there is always the potential of damage to your property. This damage can be caused by heavy trucks, the weight of the containers or poor surface conditions.
