Renting Denver Dumpsters-Buyer Beware. Things to Know When Renting a Dumpster.
In Denver, Colorado, renting a small dumpster is one of the most economical ways of disposing of excess home or remodeling trash. For the most part, the process can be quick and simple, but a few tips may help you avoid some of potential pitfalls. Use A Local Dumpster Company. Ordering a roll-off from an 800, toll-free or nationwide getarolloff.com company may be a costly experience.
A number 1-800 or online companies own no containers or trucks, but merely work as middlemen in the dumpster ordering process. They use cleverly constructed websites to lure in your order at a grossly inflated price and then farm out the job to a local Denver dumpster rental company, which could have provided a container for much less. Most of these middlemen "brokers" are located out of state and in some cases are not even based in the U.S. Rule of Thumb: Always use a local company to avoid the out of state "middleman". Get the Dumpster Size You're Paying for loose industry standards allow for significant variation in container shapes and sizes. A number of companies, including a few in the Denver area, deliver dumpsters that are substantially smaller than they advertise. Cubic yards are the measurement units used to determine the actual volume of a roll-off container, and some providers will fudge these numbers by 10% or more. One should not be afraid to ask their provider for the exact volume of the dumpster they are renting. A customer receiving a roll-off that is 10% shy in volume is similar to someone paying for 10 gallons of gas but receiving only 9. Not a place one would shop again. Sam's provides inside and outside measurements as well as volume information for each of our dumpster sizes, available on our Containers page. Beware of Hidden Charges When receiving a quote for roll-off service, be sure to ask for the total price. Sam's price quotes are, and have always included delivery, pick up and disposal fees. We do not use fuel surcharges. The only time a Sam's dumpster can incur additional charges is when it is overweight, contains hazardous materials, or goes beyond the scheduled time period.
