3. What items cannot go in a dumpster?
Certain materials cannot be disposed of in our dumpsters due to safety and environmental regulations. These include hazardous waste, chemicals, electronics, tires, batteries, and appliances. Some items, like yard waste and propane tanks, may require special handling—contact us for proper disposal options. [Learn more]

4. What type of container do I need—roll-off, hook lift, or front load?
The right container depends on the type and volume of materials you’re handling and your specific site needs:

• Roll-Off Containers (also called roll-off dumpsters): Ideal for large, bulky materials and high-volume jobs like construction, demolition, or commercial cleanouts. These are delivered on a truck and “rolled off” at your site.
• Hook Lift Containers: Similar in function to roll-offs but use a hydraulic hook system for loading and unloading. Great for tight spaces or projects requiring frequent container swaps.
• Front Load Dumpsters: Commonly used for ongoing waste or recycling service at commercial locations like retail stores, restaurants, and offices. These are serviced regularly by trucks with front-loading arms and are a good choice for smaller volumes on a consistent schedule.

Still unsure which is right for your business? Contact us and we’ll help you choose the best container for your needs. [Learn more]

5. How long can I keep a dumpster rental?

Dumpster rental periods typically range from a few days to months, but we understand that timelines vary depending on the project. Whether you’re managing a home cleanout, a construction site, or a long-term commercial job, Triad Recycling & Container Services offers flexible rental durations to meet your needs. Need extra time? We offer easy extensions upon request.

6. Will a dumpster damage my property?

Improper placement of dumpsters can potentially cause damage to surfaces like pavement, concrete, gravel, or landscaping. At Triad Recycling & Container Services, we take precautions to protect your property, such as using wood boards when needed and placing dumpsters with care. Let us know the surface type, and we’ll ensure safe and secure placement.

7. Do I need a permit to rent a dumpster?

You may need a permit if the dumpster will be placed on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way. For private property like driveways, no permit is usually required. At Triad Recycling & Container Services, we’ll help you determine whether a permit is needed and guide you through the process if so.
