What affects dumpster rental price?

- Included tonnage — overweight is one of the most common extra charges.
- Disposal (tipping) fees — vary by county and landfill.
- Rental duration — extra days can add fees.
- Material type — concrete/roofing can require special rules or lower weight limits.
How to avoid surprise charges
Ask for the included weight limit (in tons).
Confirm what’s prohibited (tires, appliances, mattresses, paint, hazmat).
Clarify rental length and daily extension fees.
If you’re tossing heavy debris (dirt, shingles, concrete), ask for a dedicated option.
