We don’t really believe in hidden charges. The reason is you need to know what items will end up causing you additional fees. XL Dumpster Rentals .com wants to make it so you can avoid Additional Fees and Charges, so here are some of the most common. 

We also expect and request that you read the fine print called the ”Terms and Conditions” prior to renting a dumpster and the notices on the dumpsters.

Dry Run Fee: This is when you order a dumpster rental in our service area and we either can’t deliver the dumpster rental as scheduled, or pick up the dumpster rental as scheduled; causing us to have a wasted trip trying to fullfil our responsibilities. 

This happens more than any other issues and it’s totally solvable by not blocking the container or the driver had driven to location for a task but can’t complete it. Most common causes are: blocked access, overloaded above the Maximum Fill line on the dumpster which can cause our tarping system to become damaged or broken. 

We must tarp all loads per State Regulations, or we are not in compliance with the codes and regulations set by government.

Extended Container Use: This charge is when you rent a dumpster for example, 7 days. After the 7 days you decide you need it for 2 more days. This will cause you to not only be billed for the 7 days at the 7 day discounted rate, but you will be charged for two additional days at the standard single day rate. 

Same would apply if you rented a rental dumpster for 30 days. If at 37 days you request the pick up you will automatically be billed for the 30 days and a 7 day rental.
We do not mind if you want extra rental time. The CUSTOMER is expected to let XL Dumpster Rentals .Com know when a dumpster needs picked-up or needs a empty and swap-out.

Container Relocation: This is when we place a dumpster container in a specific location and later you want to change locations. We ask customers not to move the rental containers using equipment or pick up truck. Would it work? Possibly, but it risks damages to the containers. We detail this in the contract that XLDumpsterRentals.Com is the only one authorized to move the Rental Dumpsters, as we have the proper equipment. 

Another reason is that if you move the can to a spot that we cant access with our equipment, once loaded would be very difficult to move. Often times we have seen customers move the rental bins to uneven or unstable terrain which once loaded will warp the dumpster so the door will not open or close properly, and may make it so our trucks can’t access it when loaded.  This will bring us into the next item…

Repair Charges: Damaged Rental garbage cans and dumpsters requiring Welding or parts replacement due to mis-use, overloading, or damages that could have been mitigated but were caused by the customers misuse will be billed at no less than $175 Per hour plus any parts needed to bring the bin back to a proper working condition. 

We want our rental customers to be save with equipment that is safe for them and any sub-contractors, their clients, their families or whomever uses the rental dumpsters. When repairs are needed due to customer neglect, we also lose use of our equipment rentals causing yet another fee…

Loss of Use Fee: This charge is to cover the loss of income due to the neglect or misuse, or abuse. We use our Rental bins in our business to make money. If a dumpster or other equipment gets damaged and we can’t use it we still need to be paid. Our team and Customers are relying on the work. Every day the equipment if out of service we charge the standard daily rate while the equipment is in the repair shop until it is fully repaired or replaced. 

Often parts are delayed or made only for our equipment. We have seen parts delays and shop delays over 30 days. We ask our customer to make sure they have the needed coverage to protect them during the dumpster or equipment rental, just like car insurance, be protected by purchasing Damage and Fire Protection Waver Fee protects against damages caused by use but this does not cover abuse.

Damage and Fire Protection Waiver Fee: This is like insurance. It is to protect the customer from damages to the container rental, dumpster rental or equipment rental while the item is rented. This does not cover neglect, abuse, or unforeseen damages to the equipment. 

If you scratch the side of our Garbage cans, dumpster rentals, or equipment while moving or tossing out the trash, you will be covered. If you warp the doors due to moving the roll off dumpster to an area that XLDumpsterRentals.com did not authorize, you are on your own and will not be protected. Use caution and safe waste removal Practices. This is an up-charge only

Driveway Surface Protection: This is for the use of either Wood or plastic protectors designed to allow the dumpster to slide separate from the driveway. Our surface skates are designed to allow a sacrificial plastic to keep the hard metal wheels from contacting the ground. This wears out the plastic instead of the concrete surface. This is an up-charge only

Cancelation insurance: Often issues arise unexpectedly. We offer this insurance to avoid a loss of the full cost of the rental. If you chose not to add this insurance, we will not reimburse the dumpster rental, even if it is your moms-sons birthday and they are in the hospital on their death bed. Ha Ha. This is an Up-Charge Only.

Contamination Fee: If anyone puts any hazardous waste in the rentals dumpster, and we find it or the land fill disposal company or governing official, you will be charged an addition fee of no less than $100 plus any fines and fees received. 

If you put hazardous waste, non-inert debris (trash) with inert materials like dirt, concrete, gravel or asphalt we often will not be able to dump the waste in the standard disposal sites and will be forced by our vendors to use an alternative site to dispose of the waste or otherwise recyclable items.  

This will add to the cost of emptying the dumpster. We want your solid waste and recyclable business but the state and counties have their standards they place on use are Waste Haulers.

Special Handling Fee: Special handling is a term used but it is any time we need to do task that should have been addressed prior to us arriving to take the dumpster away from your facility or site. Examples are, but not limited to: leveling the loaded dumpster, removing items from the dumpster prior to covering the load, shoveling snow, moving obects blocking the dumpster, finding people to move vehicles that block our access (we need at a minimum of 10 ft on each side of the Dumpster for safe and proper access, or a determined amount as per our drivers request). 

Mattress, box spring, tires, paint cans, batteries, tv’s, refrigerators, any other appliance containing or has contained Freon or equivalent disposal risks a special handling fee, due to the extra time to dispose of the items. 

Often the facilities we dispose at will force us to exit with these items and either re-enter (at an additional charge) or to go to a separate facility to unload. This can get costly when you considering drivers wages and related cost, equipment use, fuel, travel time, and gate and disposal fees. 

It is often less costly to load those items in a separate dumpster for disposal. This requires the customer to contact us and have us bring out a separate dumpster rental for this purpose.  We charge no less than $50 plus milage at $5.00 per mile to dispose of these items or separately repack them for later disposal. 

Again, we are transport items to the dump, or other places designed for waste, we are not movers or handymen tasked to move your garbage within the dumpster (or outside the dumpster. A complete list of Fees are available on the Rental Contract Terms and Conditions.
