What can I throw away in the dumpster?
We happily will take:
• Construction Materials
• Carpet / Flooring
• Roofing Materials
• Your Ex-Boyfriend's Hat Collection
• Stuff You Just Don’t Need Anymore!
Can I put a mattress in the dumpster?
Yes, but some areas require the mattress to be wrapped in plastic before disposal.
Is there anything I cannot throw away?
Hazardous Waste, Asbestos, Chemicals, Oils, Fuels, Pesticides, Acids, or Paints, Cleaners or Degreasers, Radioactive materials, Explosives, Septic Tank Plumbing, Raw Sewage or Sludge, Semisolids, Infectious waste, Tires, Refrigerators, Air conditioners, TVs, or Computer Monitors.
How do I dispose of hazardous materials?
Visit a local hazardous waste facility or check out the California Department of Toxic Substances Control for drop-off locations [7].
Do I need to be present when the dumpster is delivered?
We would prefer that there is please someone available upon delivery – we will do our best to put the dumpster in a desirable location for the customer, provided the driver can safely maneuver. If no one is available at the requested delivery time, the driver will place the dumpster in the most accessible location.
What happens if I place prohibited items in the dumpster?
You may incur additional fees, and the restricted items will need to be removed.
Will a dumpster damage my driveway/yard?
We do our best to carefully deliver and pick up these dumpsters, but they are, of course, very heavy. If you are worried about a specific area of your property where the dumpster will be dropped, we suggest laying down a large piece of plywood. Patriot is not responsible for any damages to the surface where a dumpster may be located, but we will do our best to accommodate all needs.
How much can I put in the dumpster?
As much as you want – but you can not stack higher than the side of the dumpster, OK!
How should I pay?
Easy! We take cash, company check, Zelle, Venmo, Cashapp or credit and debit cards. We can send you a preliminary invoice or accept payment over the phone before dropping off the dumpster. If you are paying in cash or company check, initial payment will be due upon delivery of the dumpster. We will follow up with an additional invoice for the tonnage after dumping.
Do you offer a discount?
We have worked hard to create an efficient business model in order to price ourselves so much lower than the competition. Upon comparison, we feel that all of our customers are getting a discount!
When is the dumpster picked up?
We typically pick the dumpster up at the end of the scheduled pickup date, or when you call and tell us it is ready.
Do I need insurance to rent equipment?
We recommend that everyone talk to their insurance agent before renting equipment! Especially some of the larger items like a skid steer or mini excavator. But we do offer incident coverage (must be purchased beforehand) which will cover a factor of the amount applied in damages to equipment.
