Waste Hauling Questions and Answers

1. Question: Scheduling cadence - "two cans daily" means swap/empty and replace two a day? Or does it mean two sitting on site at all times?

2. Question: Rental window - how many days are included before daily rental applies?

Answer: We will have dumpsters filled on an almost daily basis. Depending on weather and emergencies which may hinder our dumpster efforts. Typically, we have no issues filling two dumpsters a day.

Answer: Both dumpsters are placed outside and are free standing away from all docks and buildings. There is plenty of staging area and the units are easily accessible.

Answer: Services may be requested on weekdays from 8:00AM-4:30PM. No services will be requested on state holidays.
