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.

When you call Trash Authority 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!

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.

  • 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.
