Dumpster Rental FAQ

Our dumpsters are suited for a variety of waste types, including construction debris, household waste, and yard waste. However, hazardous materials are not permitted. Please consult our ‘Prohibited Items’ section for more details.

We typically offer next-day delivery, but same-day delivery may be available depending on location and availability.

Dumpsters can be placed on driveways, construction sites, or any other flat, hard surface. Please make sure the placement area is clear on the day of delivery.

You can schedule a pickup by calling our customer service or through your online account. Please make sure the dumpster is accessible and not overloaded at the time of pickup.

If you exceed the weight limit, additional fees will apply. These will be calculated based on the overage and outlined in your final invoice.

Before ANY DELIVERY can be received, our “Delivery Agreement Form” must be completed. We will not deliver if the form is not completed.

Jobsite conditions are not always suitable for placement, therefore it is expected the buyer provide suitable points of placement. Desmond Tutu Enterprises will not assume liability for damage to property beyond curbsideDesmond Tutu Enterprises reserves the right to refuse placement of material in areas driver deems inaccessible or unsuitable. A waiver must be signed for deliveries requiring dumping or driving over a paver driveway.

2. At checkout, you may select your products to be delivered. Please provide delivery preferences in the comment box provided at checkout.

***Please note that bulk items are delivered in a dump truck.***

If two bulk items are requested to deliver and only one delivery fee is purchased contamination or mixing of the products upon dumping is likely. Purchase an additional delivery fee if you choose to have more than one bulk product delivered and you are not wanting them to mix.

3. Bulk Delivery Capacities and Minimums

Bulk Mulch: 1-20 yards per delivery fee

Bulk Sand, Gravel, Soil, Shell, Roadbase, Crushed Concrete: 1-10 yards per delivery fee
