Dumpster Rentals in Durham NC

The rental cost of a dumpster from our company is influenced by location because of transportation fees. The distance between your location and the nearest waste disposal facility influences transportation fees. Additionally, dumping rates for different materials can vary across different waste facilities, which can impact your final bill. However, we ensure our transparent pricing policy by providing you with a copy of the invoice from the facility.

At Sourgum, we collaborate only with certified and authorized waste disposal facilities to ensure that there are no undisclosed charges added to your final invoice.

The cost of your dumpster rental can also be impacted by the type of materials you dispose of, as each material has a different disposal fee. Some materials like concrete or organic waste require special disposal methods and should be placed into specific dumpsters for proper recycling.

When disposing of your waste, it's important to ensure that only acceptable materials are placed in the dumpster. Dumpsters filled with unsuitable materials may be charged contamination fees from the dumping facility.

The weight limit and size of the dumpster also impact the rental cost. For instance, dumpsters designed for heavy materials like concrete do not have a weight limit, while those meant for lighter materials such as yard waste may have a lower weight limit to save you money.

Moreover, the size of the dumpster can also affect the rental cost. Typically, larger dumpsters are more expensive than smaller ones.

If you're unsure of the appropriate dumpster size or weight limit to choose, there's no need to worry! Our experienced team has assisted numerous customers with their dumpster rental requirements, and we're pleased to offer guidance to help you make the best decision for your project.

Hazardous materials such as paints, flammables, and batteries should not be disposed of in a dumpster as they require special handling. If you're unsure about how to dispose of these items, you can visit Durham's city website for household hazardous waste guidelines or contact us for assistance.

Proper disposal of hazardous waste is essential for protecting the environment and avoiding fees from dumping facilities.
