  • What Are the Benefits of a Hook-Lift System?

    We're one of the few companies in the area that use the hook-lift system to place containers at your location. This system has several important attributes:

    • Unlike the track-cable system others use, the hook-lift allows us to drop off containers in tighter driveways and spots
    • Some of the trucks we use to carry our containers are smaller than those used with the track-cable system, allowing us to place containers in tighter spots and on fewer sturdy surfaces
    • With our hook-lift system, we can softly place containers on the ground instead of literally dropping them the way track-cable operators do. This means we treat your concrete, asphalt, and lawn more gently
    • Unlike our competitors, we offer smaller 10 and 15-yard containers that are perfect for those small jobs in tight spaces

    We offer quick delivery, quick turnaround, and economical pricing!

  • What Can't I Put in a Dumpster?

    Law doesn't permit us to accept any toxic or hazardous waste materials, including paint, herbicides, pesticides, asbestos, chemicals, oil, tires, fuels, or appliances with Freon.


  • Is There a Weight Limit?

    Yes, there are upper limits: 

    10-yard containers have a 2-ton weight limit

    15-yard containers have a 3-ton weight limit

    20-yard containers have a 4-ton weight limit

    30-yard containers have a 5-ton weight limit


    If you're loading heavy materials such as dirt, rock, concrete, brick, sod, shingles, or asphalt, contact our office for loading instructions. The charge for the weight of contents beyond the limit specified above is $65/ton.

  • Can I Fill the Container to the Top?

    All materials must be inside the container, with nothing above the top of the container. By law, we are required to tarp each load for transport. We cannot pick up a container that is overfull. You will be responsible for removing the excess, and a $100 return-trip fee will be charged for container return and pickup.


  • How Long Can I Keep the Dumpster on Site?

    You can keep your dumpster rental in Austin, TX for up to 14 days. Contractors are able to get an extension.


  • Will the Container Be Picked up Automatically?

    No. Call when the container is ready for pickup. It's your responsibility to give our office a 24-hour notice.


  • Can I Move the Container?

    No. We’ll do our best to place your container in a convenient and safe space. Moving the container causes damage to the underside; if damage occurs, you'll be asked to pay for the repair costs.


  • Is Your Disposal Company Environmentally Friendly?

    Yes! We do our best to protect the environment by following safe, eco-friendly practices, including appropriate disposal of waste materials based on their nature and reuse potential.

  • How Much Is a Cubic Yard?

    A cubic yard is 3'x3'x3' and weighs nearly one ton of sand or dirt. However, it weighs much less than most construction and waste materials. Most personal pickup trucks carry 2 cubic yards of materials. The professionals from A-Tex Dumpsters can help you estimate the size of the dumpster or the container that you'll need.
