Frequently Asked
How long are your rentals?
Pick 3, 7, 10 or 14 days, for either size. Keep it past that and it's $20 a day, any size. Longer job? Call or text us for a custom quote.
What happens if I keep it longer than the rental period?
Nothing dramatic. It's $20 a day after your rental period ends, whatever the size, and we add it to your bill. If you already know you'll need more time, book the 14-day rental; it costs less than tacking extra days onto a 10-day one. For a longer job, call or text us about a custom quote.
When should I have my dumpster delivered?
We recommend you have your dumpster delivered the day before you need it for a project.
Not only do we recommend this, but we have built our pricing structure around it.
You can be confident you will be able to use your dumpster for the full 3, 7, 10 or 14 days when you rent from Wise Guys Dumpsters.
Do you offer same day dumpster delivery?
Same-day delivery is available in many cases, depending on availability when you call. Call or text 940-202-0903 to check and we'll rush your order if we can; if today is full, we deliver the next day.
We know situations change, or other dumpster companies back out. We are here for you when that occurs. And will do everything we can to get you a dumpster so you can start your project.
We, however, recommend that you plan ahead, if at all possible. Booking your dumpster delivery a day before your project begins will ensure it is available for you to use the moment you're ready to start your project.
As mentioned above, we won't ever penalize you for ordering your dumpster delivery a day before. You will always get the full days for which you booked.
How do I prepare my site for dumpster delivery?
Ensure the area is free from vehicles or other obstacles and is easily accessible for our delivery trucks.
Is there anything I can't put in the dumpster?
Unfortunately, there are a few things that the Denton County landfill won’t allow and a few other things that are allowed but require special care.
Not allowed:
- No paint
- No tires
- No batteries
- No chemicals
- No rocks
- No dirt
- No concrete
- No bricks
- No shingles unless spread out over multiple dumpsters. If you are a roofing company, we can serve you, but please give us a call so we can talk about the best approach for your work site.
Allowed with exceptions:
- Appliances are allowed, but there is a $10 charge per larger appliance item, such as a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, etc.
- Please let us know if you place appliances in the dumpster, and how many, we are required to take those to a different area of the dump when disposing of them.
What should I do if I have paint to dispose of?
If you have paint you need to dispose of, you can put kitty litter in it and once it has dried, your county/city will have a facility that you can take it to.
How much does a dumpster rental cost?
A 15 yard dumpster is $425 for 3 days and a 20 yard is $450; both include 2 tons (4,000 lb) of debris. Longer rentals (7, 10 or 14 days) are in the table on our pricing page. There's no delivery fee and no fuel surcharge. The only extras are $90 a ton if you go over 2 tons (we show you the scale ticket) and $20 a day if you keep it past your rental period. That's the whole list.
What if I go over 2 tons?
Every rental includes 2 tons (4,000 lb). The landfill charges us by weight, so anything over that is $90 a ton. We bill it after the dump and show you the scale ticket, so you see the exact weight. Heavy material adds up fast, which is why rock, dirt and concrete aren't allowed in our dumpsters.
Can you swap it out when it's full?
Yes. Call or text and we'll haul the full one off and drop an empty one. A swap or a second delivery is billed as a new rental at the regular price, with no swap fee or delivery fee on top.
What is the difference between a 15 yard and a 20 yard?
They are identical except that the 15 yard is 4 foot tall. The 20 yard is 6 foot tall. All our dumpsters have barn doors that open on the back, so you can completely walk into them, making it easy to load them efficiently.
Do you service my area?
We deliver across Denton County, Wise County, the north suburbs in Collin and Tarrant counties, and Carrollton, Coppell, Irving, Farmers Branch and Addison. See our service area page.
