Ordering
How full can the dumpster be filled?

For general waste, including household and construction waste, you may fill the dumpster to the top. You may fill the dumpster completely full but the material must not exceed the top edge of the dumpster; nothing can be sticking out of the top. We must be able to safely tarp the container and ensure that no material will fly out of the container as it is being hauled on the roadways. For dense materials, such as gravel, dirt, concrete, plaster, brick, block, etc. you may fill the dumpster to the lower line marked on the outside of dumpster. Filling past this point

could cause unsafe overweight conditions, and you may be required to remove material before we will remove the dumpster. Before placing any of these heavier materials in any containers, please review the terms and conditions of your agreement and contact customer service rep for guidance on how much is allowed in the container. Do not fill the container above lower line level with these materials. Excess debris MUST be removed by the customer before the container will be removed from the site. Customers will be charged for Evergreen Dumpster Service LLC to make a second trip to collect a dumpster that was uncollectible.

Will it damage my driveway?

We highly recommend that the customer protect any surface where the dumpster is going to be placed with a sheet of plywood. Customer  affirms that any right of way provided by the customer (disclosed in delivery questions) for the dumpster is sufficient to bear the weight of all contractors’ equipment and vehicles required to perform the contracted service. The customer assumes all liabilities for damages to private driving surfaces, pavement or road surfaces and entire container placement site. We are not responsible for any damages to any private pavement or accompanying subsurface of any route necessary to perform the services contained herein and shall not be responsible for overhead objects such as electrical wire, overhanging rooflines or leaves, trees, etc.

Is it necessary for someone to be there when the dumpster is delivered or removed?

It is preferred to have someone onsite for delivery or removal of the container. The driver will use their best judgment and place the container in the safest accessible area when delivering the container. If you have specific placement instructions we suggest that you be at the location when the driver arrives at your drop off site. If you aren’t present at the time of delivery and aren't satisfied with the placement of the dumpster, you may call customer service and ask for the Dumpster to be relocated. Relocation fees will apply. For removal; customer agrees to provide unobstructed access to the equipment on the scheduled pick up day; if the equipment is inaccessible, the customer is subject to additional pick up charges, as terms and conditions apply.
