Introduction
When renting a dumpster for your project, timing and clear expectations matter. Whether you’re tackling a home cleanout, remodeling job, or large construction project, knowing how delivery, rental periods, and pickups work helps everything run smoothly. We’ve created this guide to help you know what to expect when renting a dumpster rental through Atex Dumpsters and most dumpster rental companies.
Delivery Timeframes: When to Expect Your Dumpster
Most dumpster rental companies can deliver your dumpster rental within 1 to 3 business days of placing an order. In many cases, same-day service is possible depending on availability. While we can’t promise an exact delivery time, we always provide a window so you can prepare your site.
Tips for smooth delivery:
-
Place your order at least one day before you need the dumpster on-site.
-
Make sure the delivery area is clear, level, and accessible for our trucks.
-
If your dumpster needs to be placed on the street, check with the city to see if a permit is required.
Standard Rental Periods & Extensions
Dumpster rentals typically include a 7–10 day rental period, giving you plenty of time to complete your project. However, this can vary based on the dumpster rental size or the type of dumpster rental you request. If you need more time, most companies offer flexible extensions for a small daily fee.
