FAQ

Internet specials are 1 week rentals, which are AUTOMATICALLY removed after 1 week. You can extend the rental at a rate of $20 per day.

We can get the dumpster to you the same day if you order by 12pm, worst case next day. We currently deliver dumpsters Monday through Friday. When ordering after hours, if the next day is available, you will get it that day. What other dumpster rental company can say that?

A dumpster or roll off container that is placed on a public property (i.e. a street or parking lot) may require a permit. For example, the City of New Haven requires a permit for any dumpster placed on the street. Additionally, some municipalities require that you obtain one for dumpster placement on private property as well. These rules are generally put in place so that neighbors don’t need to deal with dumpsters that may be an eyesore for extended periods of time. To be on the safe side, check with your city/town before ordering. PurpleDumpster LLC will not place a dumpster on the street without verification of a permit being issued.

Our company does not believe in adding a fuel surcharge on top of our pricing. Some dumpster companies can add as much as 15-20% to your bill to cover the costs of fuel. We like to keep it simple, and prefer to let you know about all fees up front. When calling around, be sure to ask if the company adds a fuel surcharge to your bill. While a price may seem really cheap, they will probably get you on the back end with surcharges. Be careful!

Yes, our pricing includes delivery, removal, the specified amount of weight & the rental period noted. We do not have a separate delivery or removal fee, as some companies do. No surprises with our company.

Same day dumpster/rolloff service is available, based on availability. If your town is not listed, the standard delivery time for a dumpster is within 1 business day of ordering. You can always call/email to see if same day is available for your city/town, as our schedule varies each day.

Yes, there is a door in the rear of the dumpster or rolloff container. This allows for easy loading of heavier items. We recommend you walk in the bigger items first, then you can throw the smaller items over the side of the dumpster and fill in the empty space.

Wood, sheet rock, insulation, cardboard, metal, furniture, toys, plastic, roofing debris & other materials. If you have questions as to whether a material is allowed in our purple dumpsters, please call or email us.
