What happens if I go over 2 tons?
Weight over 2 tons is billed at $175 per ton, based on the scale ticket. If you know the job will run heavy, you can prepay extra tonnage at $150 per ton when you book.
Need it past Monday? Extensions are $25 per day.
How do I pay?
At the last step of the booking form, choose “I will pay now with Credit Card,” or choose “I would like a Quote” and we’ll will follow up with you.
Contractors: from your 2nd rental in a month, rentals are $600 each and go on one monthly invoice.
Are there any extra fees?
No hidden fees. You only pay more for what you choose or cause: weight over 2 tons ($175 per ton), extra days ($25 per day), extra time if prohibited items or an overfilled load have to be dealt with before pickup, or a $99 dry-run fee if we arrive for delivery or pickup, can’t get access, and can’t reach anyone. Not sure about an item? Call or text first.
Is there a fee to pay by card?
No. We don’t charge a card fee. Choose “I will pay now with Credit Card” at the last step of the booking form.
Size & What Goes In
One dumpster size, set up for real projects.
What size dumpster do you rent?
One size: a 15-yard dumpster, about 16 ft long × 8 ft wide × 5 ft high. It holds roughly 10–11 pickup-truck loads.
That covers garage and whole-house cleanouts and decluttering. Remodel and construction debris goes on the Contractor Rate.
What can I put in the dumpster?
- Weekend Special: household trash and junk.
- Contractor Rate: C&D debris and trash.
Not accepted: hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, oil, propane tanks) and asbestos or contaminated materials.
Unsure about an item? Call or text us before you load it.
Can I put TVs, appliances, batteries or tires in the dumpster?
No. TVs and other electronics, batteries, tires and appliances can’t go in the dumpster with your trash. Have some? Call or text (619) 356-0599 before you book and we’ll tell you your options.
How high can I fill it?
Keep everything level with or below the top rails so the load can be transported safely and legally covered. If it’s overfilled, material may have to come out before pickup, which can add time and cost.
Is there a weight limit?
2 tons (4,000 lbs) of disposal is included with every rental. Heavy material such as concrete, dirt or roofing adds weight fast, so text us before loading it. Anything over 2 tons is $175 per ton.
Do you rent other dumpster sizes, like 10, 20 or 30 yard?
No. We rent one size: a 15-yard dumpster, about 16 ft long × 8 ft wide × 5 ft high, roughly 10–11 pickup-truck loads. It fits most driveways. Not sure it’s big enough? Send us photos at (619) 356-0599 and we’ll tell you before you book.
Is a 15-yard dumpster big enough for my project?
Most household projects fit: a garage cleanout, a move-out, an estate cleanout, or clearing the house room by room. One room won’t fill it. Furniture, boxes and clutter are bulky but light, so you usually fill the space before you reach the 2-ton limit. Remodel and construction debris goes on the Contractor Rate. Bigger house? Send us a few photos first.
Will a 15-yard dumpster fit in my driveway?
Most driveways, yes. Tape out a 16 × 8 ft space and picture it 5 ft high. That’s the size of the dumpster. Our trailer backs into tighter driveways and job sites than a large dumpster truck. Still unsure? Send us a photo of your driveway and we’ll advise on placement before you book.
Can I put roofing, tile, concrete or dirt in the dumpster?
Not on the Weekend Special or the Weekly Rental, which are household trash and junk only. On the Contractor Rate, roofing, tile, stucco, concrete and dirt run heavy, so we quote them per job. Text us the material and roughly how much.
Can I put mattresses and box springs in the dumpster?
Yes, at no extra charge. They take up a lot of room, though. We can also take them separately for a small fee.
Can I put yard waste in the dumpster?
Yard waste is accepted on the Weekly Rental and the Contractor Rate. It isn’t accepted on the Weekend Special.
What if my pile is a little too big for the dumpster?
On the Weekend Special, a 100-gallon bag ($99) covers a little overflow. If it’s more than that, we’ll call with options.
Can you load the dumpster for me?
Yes. On the Weekend Special you can add a 2-man crew for $50/hour, and we load it for you. Add it at booking or just ask us.
Delivery & Pickup
Owner-delivered. One person from booking to pickup.
When will my dumpster be delivered, and can I get it the same day?
Same-day delivery is available any day when you book, call or text before 10am. For the Weekend Special, book by Friday 10am and your dumpster is on your driveway the same day. We text you when we’re on the way.
Who delivers and picks up?
We do. FARO is owner-operated, and every dumpster is trailer-delivered and picked up by FARO — no subcontractors.
Will it damage my driveway?
Driveway-protection boards are free on request. Check the box in the booking form to request them, and they go down at drop-off.
How long can I keep it?
Weekend Special: delivered Friday, picked up Monday. Need more time? Add a $25 per day extension. Weekly rentals run 7 days. Contractor rentals run 5 days, with extra days at $25/day.
Do I need a permit?
Not when the dumpster sits on your driveway or private property, which is where we place it. Placing a dumpster on a public street can require a permit from your city or the county. We can help with the permit. Call or text us before booking street placement.
Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?
No. Just tell us where you want the dumpster placed and we’ll handle the rest. We text you when we’re on the way. If we arrive and can’t get access and can’t reach anyone, there’s a $99 dry-run fee.
My driveway is steep. Is that okay?
Usually yes. Send us a photo before booking and we’ll advise on placement. No surprises on delivery day.
How much space and overhead clearance do you need?
The trailer raises high before it drops the dumpster, so we need at least 20 ft of clear space overhead. Check for low branches and wires. The dumpster is about 16 × 8 ft on the ground and can go on any ground. Driveway-protection boards are free on request.
What happens if you can't get to the dumpster spot?
If we arrive for delivery or pickup, can’t get access and can’t reach anyone, there’s a $99 dry-run fee for our time and mileage. Clear the spot and keep your phone handy to avoid it.
Can I ask for early pickup?
Yes, on any rental. There’s no refund or credit for the days you don’t use.
Can I get a second dumpster or a swap?
Yes, with 24 hours’ notice, subject to availability. Call or text (619) 356-0599 and we’ll confirm.
Do I need HOA approval?
HOA rules vary. If you live in an HOA, check with them before delivery. We place the dumpster on your driveway or private property.
Contractors & Demolition
Job-site rentals, and the demolition work that comes before them.
Do you rent to contractors?
Yes. The Contractor Rate is $649 for 5 days, with C&D debris and trash accepted and 2 tons included. Roofing, tile, stucco, concrete and dirt are quoted per job. Your 2nd and later rentals in the same month are $600 each. Call or text to book them.
Do you offer demolition?
Need the structure down first? We handle demolition. Call or text us to set up a site visit.
