How long can I keep the rented roll off dumpster?

What happens if I dispose of non-allowable waste in the roll off dumpster?
Disposing of non-allowable waste in our dumpsters violates disposal regulations and may result in additional charges for the proper disposal of those materials. It’s crucial to adhere to the list of allowable and non-allowable waste items to avoid penalties.
Can I place the roll off dumpster on the street if I don't have space on my property?
Placement of dumpsters on the street often requires a permit from the local municipality. It’s important to check local regulations and obtain any necessary permits before scheduling your dumpster delivery. Alamo Disposal can provide guidance on how to obtain these permits.
How are the roll off dumpsters delivered, and do I need to prepare the site?
Our dumpsters are delivered using specialized trucks that can safely place the dumpster on your property.

Our team will discuss placement options with you to ensure a smooth delivery process.
Can I mix different types of waste in the same roll off dumpster?
Generally, you can mix various types of non-hazardous waste in the same dumpster. However, it’s best to keep heavy materials like concrete to specific dumpsters designed for heavy debris. Mixing heavy materials with lighter waste might exceed the weight limit or violate disposal regulations.
