Roll-off Dumpster FAQ

Welcome to our roll-off dumpster FAQ page. Here you will find the most frequently asked questions regarding our company and our waste management services. This section contains the answers to the basic questions you have on dumpster container rentals as well.

How did you start renting out dumpsters?

Our company initially started as a third party cleaning service for upscale restaurants, hotels, schools and other local businesses. As our business developped, we noticed a lack of roll-off dumpsters for rent despite good demand for it. We often find ourselves throwing out the trash and dumping them into overfilled dumpsters. Soon thereafter, we invested in dumpster containers to meet our customers’ needs. After a few years, we started purchasing more bin dumpsters for us to rent out to homeowners, establishments and offices in Minnesota in need of waste removal and recycling services.

How many years have you operated in Minneapolis, MN?

Minneapolis Dumpster Rental Corp, started as a cleaning service in 1995. Our dumpster rentals were then launched about 5 years later.

Can we get a referral just to make sure we’re hiring the right company?

Absolutely! Feel free to contact us at 952-679-7324 and ask for our previous customers referrals. We will be delighted to provide you the contact numbers of our past and current customers.

How do I know the right dumpster size I will need?

If you live in Minneapolis, MN, you can easily visit us at our location to see the various sizes available. But if this is not an option, you can drop us a call or a message in our contact form and we will discuss your needs and the appropriate dumpster size for your specific project.

Can I keep the dumpster I rented from you longer? Can I also have it removed sooner?

Please note that all changes to your order must occur at least 2 business days prior to the date of the change you are requesting. This will allow us to process all the paperwork and the terms and conditions applying. As our haulers and personnel follow a strict schedule, a last minute change to the agreement, though possible, will still be difficult to arrange, but doable.

However, if we determine that we can accommodate your request, we can simply apply additional charges for your accommodation and we will be glad to allow you to keep the dumpster longer or have it removed sooner.

Is it necessary for me to be there for the delivery and pick up of the dumpster?

It is not necessary to have someone onsite for the removal of the container. However, it would be most helpful for us if you were at the location during the first time delivery. This way our driver can get specific instructions on where to place the dumpster container. But if it is not possible for you to be on site at that time, we will appreciate it if you leave your phone line open so that our driver can contact you to ask about the delivery details.

Please be specific in answering the questions as our staff and crew will use their best judgment for placing the container in the safest yet accessible area. Please know that you will be responsible for the charges involved in relocating the dumpster should it be necessary.

As for the pickup, you may simply leave detailed instructions and provide an unobstructed access to the unit on the scheduled pickup date. If it is impossible to pick up the dumpster due to inaccessibility, additional charges may apply.

What do I get aside from the dumpster?

The rental of a rolloff dumpster container includes a one-time pickup and delivery date. Standard disposal and fuel fees, along with state taxes are already included in the price. You may request an itemized price list so that you can select the necessary service you need. If there are specific services that you require and are not on our list, please feel free to contact us and we can set up an arrangement for you.

Can I move the smaller dumpster on the street?

Smaller dumpsters do not require trucks for you to move them. Even though they are not as large as the other rental units, there are still specific laws the city of Minneapolis has regarding waste management procedures. Please check with your local municipality if placing a dumpster on the street is allowed. In Minneapolis itself permits are required.

What are the acceptable materials that can be put in the dumpster?

Solid waste items are permitted. However, collative, radioactive, highly flammable, biomedical, explosives, toxic or hazardous materials are absolutely prohibited. Please do not throw free liquids of any kind in the container. If you have prohibited waste materials that need to be hauled away, please notify us right before the terms and conditions are set. We have specific services that accommodate hazardous wastes like these and save energy.

Whether this is your first time renting a dumpster container or if you’re simply looking for a waste disposal partner at an affordable ratee, we are here to serve you and the Boise community!
