Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dumpster rental?
A metal box you use to toss trash in at your home or jobsite when completing a project.
How does renting a dumpster work?
Here at Sully's Dumpsters, renting a dumpster is a simple process. First, give us a call or send us an email describing when you need it and we will respond back with a quote and schedule a drop off day as well. At the end of your rental period, call us 24 hours in advance to schedule a pickup.
Do I need a permit to have a dumpster?
This depends on the location of the dumpster. If it is placed on or blocking public property, you will need to get a permit from the city. If the dumpster is placed on private property you do not need a permit.
How long can we use the dumpster?
We offer two contracts; a 7-day rental or a monthly rental. At the end of the rental period, you must call 24 hours in advance to schedule a pick up.
How many pounds are in a ton?
There are 2,000 pounds in a 1 ton.
Should I cover my dumpster if it rains or snows?
If there are storms during your rental period, use a tarp over your dumpster with bungee cords or tie-down straps. A cover keeps water from pooling in your container and adding weight to absorbent materials like dirt, upholstered furniture and carpet. This can add extra weight to your dumpster resulting in overage fees.
