Frequently Asked Questions
What can I not put in the container?
Paint, solvents, oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, asbestos, tires, batteries, refrigerant-containing appliances, electronics and pressurized cylinders are prohibited. Orange County household hazardous waste facilities accept most of these items from residents.
Will the container damage my driveway?
Our drivers place plywood or dunnage boards under the rails to spread the load, and they inspect the approach before setting the box. Damage is rare, and we will always discuss placement with you before committing to a spot.
Can I get weight tickets for permit closeout?
Yes. We can provide facility weight tickets and diversion documentation when your building permit or corporate reporting requires proof of compliant disposal.
Do I need a permit?
No permit is needed for placement on your own driveway or private lot. If the container must sit on a public street, the city typically requires a temporary encroachment permit, and we can explain the process for your municipality.
Do you serve areas outside Irvine?
Yes. We serve Irvine, Tustin, Lake Forest, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Orange, Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills, Fountain Valley and the surrounding Orange County communities.
What happens if I overfill the container?
Anything above the top rail has to be removed before the container can legally be transported. Call us before you reach that point and we will schedule a swap, which is almost always faster and cheaper than reworking the load.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster in Irvine?
Most orders placed in the morning can be delivered the same business day, and next-day delivery is standard. Call (949) 346-4341 with your address and project details and dispatch will confirm the earliest available window.
Is the material recycled?
Loads go to permitted transfer stations and material recovery facilities where wood, metal, cardboard, concrete, asphalt and green waste are recovered. Clean single-material loads divert at much higher rates than mixed loads.
Do I have to be home for delivery?
No. As long as the placement area is clear and you have described where the container should sit, our driver can complete the delivery without you present.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is flat rate and includes delivery, the rental period, pickup and disposal up to the container's tonnage allowance. The exact figure depends on size, material type and rental length, so call (949) 346-4341 for a firm quote in a couple of minutes.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
Standard rental periods run several days to a week, with daily extensions available at a set rate. If you finish early, call and we will pick it up sooner at no penalty.
What sizes are available for this service?
We stock 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yard roll-off containers for this type of work. If you are unsure which fits, describe the project on the phone and we will recommend a size based on the debris volume and weight.
