Potential Additional Fees
Overweight Fee – $0.10 per lb
Landfills charge strictly by weight. Any weight over the included allowance is billed at $0.10 per pound based on the final landfill scale ticket.
Extra Rental Days – $50 per day
Our dumpsters and trailers are limited inventory. When a unit remains on site beyond the agreed rental period, it cannot be rented to another customer. This fee covers lost availability, scheduling impacts, and additional operational time required for extended rentals.
Restricted Item Fee – Landfill overage based
Certain materials are not accepted by landfills or require special handling. If restricted items are found in your load, the landfill may charge overage fees, reject the load entirely, or require manual sorting before disposal. These charges are billed directly to us by the landfill and must be passed through. Full list: Restricted Items List
Return Item Fee – $75 + $3.00 per mile
If prohibited or restricted materials must be returned to the customer, a $75 return item fee applies, plus $3.00 per mile for transportation. This covers the additional labor, handling, travel time, and cost required to safely return those materials.
Landfill Reload Fee – $150 per hour
A landfill reload occurs when the disposal facility determines that part or all of a load cannot be accepted due to restricted items, contamination, or non-compliant materials. In these situations, we are required to reload the dumpster, separate materials, and make adjustments as directed by the landfill. This fee covers the additional labor, equipment use, and time required. One hour minimum applies.
Onsite Unload Fee – $150 per hour
An onsite unload fee applies when we must return to the customer location and manually unload the dumpster ourselves. This typically occurs when materials must be removed due to restricted items, unsafe loading conditions, or landfill rejection. The fee reflects the labor-intensive nature of unloading debris by hand, as well as the additional time and equipment required. One hour minimum applies.
Additional Haul and Dump Fee – $225 per extra load
A standard rental includes one delivery, one pickup, and one landfill dump. If you need the dumpster unloaded and dumped a second or third time during your rental, each additional trip to the landfill is billed separately.
Each additional haul and dump is $225 and includes up to 1 ton of disposal weight. This fee covers the additional driver time, fuel, equipment use, landfill trip, and scheduling.
If an additional load exceeds 1 ton, the excess weight is billed at $0.10 per pound based on the final landfill scale ticket.
Fuel Surcharge – $3.00 per mile beyond 30-mile radius
Our standard service area includes a 30-mile radius. Travel beyond this range increases fuel usage, drive time, and vehicle wear. Additional mileage beyond 30 miles is charged at $3.00 per mile to fairly cover those added costs.
Cancellation Fee – $50
Applies to cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled delivery time. This fee helps cover reserved scheduling, dispatch preparation, and lost delivery availability.
Dry Run Fee – $150
A dry run occurs when we arrive for delivery or pickup and cannot complete service due to blocked access, placement restrictions, HOA rules, site limitations, or if the customer selected a dumpster size that cannot be safely placed at the location. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the drop-off area is accessible and that the selected dumpster size fits the space and complies with any HOA or property restrictions. If service cannot be completed for these reasons, fuel, labor, and scheduled time have still been used, and the dry run fee will apply. No refunds are issued if we are called to remove the dumpster due to HOA enforcement or other onsite restrictions.
Unsafe Load Fee – $100
Applied to loads that exceed safe transport limits. Materials must stay inside the dumpster. Nothing may stick over the sides, hang outside the container, or extend above the top rim. Loads that are unsafe to haul may require adjustment before pickup and may be subject to a $100 unsafe load fee.
Onsite Popped Tire Fee – $100
Sharp debris, nails, or improper loading can damage tires while the trailer is on site. This fee covers service time and operational impact caused by site conditions.
Tire Replacement Fee – $250
If a tire is damaged beyond repair, full replacement is required. This fee reflects the cost of commercial-grade tires, labor, and downtime needed to safely return equipment to service.
Dumpster Cleanout Fee – $125
This fee applies when materials such as paint, oil, chemicals, or other residue are placed in the dumpster and require additional cleaning. It covers labor, cleaning supplies, disposal of contaminated waste, and downtime needed to return the bin to service.
