FAQs

WASTE MANAGEMENT ISN’T ONE SIZE FITS ALL. LET US HELP YOU OUT BY ANSWERING SOME QUESTIONS BELOW.

WHEN DO I NEED TO RENT A DUMPSTER FOR MY HOME OR BUSINESS?

Cleanouts: Cleaning out a garage, a room, or just excess trash after an event? Streamline your project by ordering a dumpster rental for the unwanted items.

Moving: A new home is a clean slate–don’t take unwanted items with you when you move. Rent a bin to get rid of waste as you pack and start fresh in your new home.  

Renovation & Demolition: Take (some of) the headache out of renovation! Whether remodeling, adding a room, or downsizing in your home or property, get the perfect trash bin rental to remove unwanted items and debris.

Landscape and Yard Waste: Get rid of the extra yard waste that won’t fit in your city garbage bin with a dumpster rental to fit your landscape project.  We have trash bin rentals perfect for clean dirt and other dumpster sizes for the branches and trimmings.

Fire Season: Rent a bin to help you comply with city brush clearance requirements that help protect your home and other buildings during the ever-expanding SoCal fire season.

WHAT CAN’T I THROW IN MY TRASH DUMPSTER?

  • NO hazardous waste
  • NO liquid waste – such as cleaning chemicals
  • NO paint–dry cans only
  • NO scrap tires
  • NO equipment with gas, oil, or freon
  • NO biohazard or medical waste
  • NO asbestos or PCB’s eNO electronic waste

CAN YOU PLACE THE BIN IN THE STREET?

Yes, we can place the trash bin in the street or driveway. Any required permits are the responsibility of the customer.

HOW HIGH CAN I LOAD MY DUMPSTER?

You can load the dumpster level with the sides. Any excess trash will be removed prior to the removal of the dumpster or the dumpster will be left for the customer to level off. In the case that the dumpster is left behind, a dry-run fee will be applied based on the location of the job.

CAN I HAVE MY DUMPSTER REMOVED EARLY IF I FINISH SOONER THAN 1 WEEK?

Yes, but please give us a 48-hour notice or schedule a pickup at time of order.

DUMPSTER RENTAL BROKER VS DIRECT?

Rent directly through us to lock in the best dumpster rental pricing and excellent customer service!

At The Green Dumpster, we own all of our trash bin rental equipment and personally service all of our jobs. As a family-run business, we are proud to offer the best pricing and the highest quality customer service in the dumpster rental business.

We do not offer special broker rates or have any exclusive agreements with brokers. A broker will often charge more, even doubling our rates, though they have no control over scheduling and other important aspects of the rental.

DO YOU RECYCLE?

We do everything we can to do right by our planet, however, we are not a dumping/sorting facility. That being said, there are many, better, alternatives to recycling, such as gifting, upcycling, and repurposing items— not to mention reducing waste. Remember, one person’s trash is another person’s gold! Offer your still good, but unwanted items for free on social media or by letting neighbors know they are available. This is the best way to avoid items going into the landfill for hundreds of years. Old bedding and pillows? Animal rescues and shelters can use them!

DO YOU HAVE DUMPSTERS FOR CONSTRUCTION?

Yes! We are a permitted hauler with the City of Los Angeles and LA County. Meaning we can haul all of your construction and demolition materials to a certified dump for recycling and processing. We have a list of contractors we work with including Hensel Phelps, CIM Group, Toll Brothers, Archwood Builders, and many more!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RENT A DUMPSTER?

There are a few factors that go into determining how much a trash bin rental costs. Those factors being: dumpster rental size, where the trash bin rental will be delivered to, and the type of trash you’re throwing away.

If you’re not sure which trash bin rental size is right for you, please call us at 818-404-5865 or email ggjunkremoval@gmail.com and we will guide you in choosing the best trash bin rental for your waste removal needs. 

HOW LONG IS MY TRASH BIN RENTAL?

We allow customers to keep their dumpster rental up to 1 week. Additional days are available upon request and early removal of the trash bin rental can be arranged.

CAN I PUT DIRT, ROCK, CONCRETE OR OTHER INERT/HEAVY ITEMS IN THE DUMPSTER?

Yes, but most dumpster rentals only allow for limited quantities with the exception of our 10 cubic yard low boy. Please let us know the amount and the kind of material you wish to dispose of, so we can determine the best trash bin rental for your project.

SINCE I CAN’T THROW ELECTRONIC WASTE OR HAZARDOUS WASTE IN MY DUMPSTER, WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM?

The City of Los Angeles has multiple sites around the city to safely dispose of these items for free. You can find your nearest location at: S.A.F.E. CENTERS & MOBILE COLLECTION EVENTS

DO I NEED TO BE HOME UPON ARRIVAL OR REMOVAL OF MY DUMPSTER?

Unless you need to give the driver access to the property, then you do not need to be there to receive the trash bin rental. Just let us know where to place your dumpster rental and make sure the area is clear for when the driver arrives.

Do I need to be home for my delivery or pick up?

No, you don’t need to be home for delivery or removal of the dumpster. The only time you would is if you have a locked electronic gate. In that case you can always leave the gate unlocked or open.

DO YOU ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS?

Yes, we accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

CAN I HAVE A DUMPSTER DELIVERED TO MY HOME?

Of course! As long as our trucks and equipment can fit, and you’re in our service areas we are happy to deliver a dumpster to your home. Our trash bin rentals are perfect for a spring cleaning project or clearing out the garage to finally fit the car back in there.
