Rowdy Roll-Off Rentals is here to make debris disposal more lively than usual!

There are a few troublemakers in the waste disposal world. A rowdy container can handle a lot, but still there are some items and materials our dumpsters can’t accept. Any hazardous or specialized material, like asbestos or creosote is a no-go for a rowdy bin. Also, any appliances like refrigerators, washers, dryers, oven ranges or similar items are prohibited. Mattresses as well are not allowed inside our containers. Chemicals, industrial or household, also aren’t accepted for disposal. If you need some tips or guidance on getting rid of any of these items or materials, give us a call!

Don’t go into your first rodeo blindfolded. Let us offer some tips—the first of which is don’t weigh down a rowdy dumpster too much! Heavier items like shingles can’t completely fill the container. For compact materials like these it’s safer to fill to only around 2/3rds of the container. This keeps your container ready to be switched out or removed without issue. Also, while a Rowdy container can wrestle most material easily, we don’t accept any dirt or concrete materials for the safety of our dumpsters and trucks.

If your rowdy roll-off is filling up and your pile of debris isn’t disappearing as fast, we can replace your dumpster with a fresh one. Most of our dumpsters come with a fill line near the top to show where to stop loading at. If you can see you’re getting close to filling a container and know you need another one, give us a call to schedule a switch out. We will get you on our route and another container out as soon as we can, but any lead time you can give us is helpful.

Roll off Dumpsters aren’t without rules. Job sites may be messy but a Rowdy dumpster runs a tight ship. Make sure your dumpster is never loaded past the rim—if it is, we won’t be able to pick up your container. To stretch the tarp and secure your dumpster for removal, it’s essential no items are sticking up or mounding past the marked fill line, or worst case, the rim of the dumpster.

There are a few potential issues to be aware of when renting a dumpster. Make sure you don’t have a locked gate that may obstruct delivery and that any special placement is clearly outlined with an orange cone, stake or similar item relayed to our team. If we try to deliver your container and are unable to access the site, a dry run fee may apply. Similarly, make sure no cars or other obstacles are blocking the container when you’ve scheduled it for a switch out or removal. 

Don’t get caught unaware when ordering a dumpster for your home or jobsite. Proper preparation is essential for any disposal project. Make sure you have a clear, open space for your dumpster. The best surface for a Rowdy Roll-Off to rest is concrete or gravel. A firm base ensures the container is less likely to become unretrievable due to a stuck truck or muddy quagmire around the dumpster. Usually it’s best a dumpster is dropped in a driveway or other easily accessible location. Our drivers are skilled, but any location information you can give us is useful for delivery.

Our dumpsters and the trucks they arrive on require about twelve feet width of clearance, possibly more if a sharp turn is required. Also important is having a level space. If you’re concerned about a steep gradient, then send us a picture for our opinion. Another concern is vertical clearance—make sure no hanging limbs or power lines are anywhere near where the dumpster would need to pass under.

No matter the size of your Rowdy Roll-Off, they all come equipped with a backdoor which can be opened for easier loading. No more tossing 4, 5 or 6 feet over the brim of your dumpster just because someone at the roll-off factory didn’t fabricate a latch! Rowdy has you covered—just pull back the pin on the rear of the dumpster and its door will open right up.
