How much does a dumpster rental cost?
Our 15 yard is $375 for 3 days or $399 for 7 days, the 20 yard is $425 or $449, and the 25 yard is $499 or $525, plus sales tax. That covers delivery, pickup and disposal up to the included tonnage, with delivery at $7 plus $2.50 a mile. Extra days are $10 per day.
Is there a delivery or mileage fee?
Delivery is $7 plus $2.50 a mile measured from our Conroe location. Most jobs in our core service area are a short run, so the mileage is small. Give us your address when you call and we'll tell you exactly where you land before anything rolls.
What does the price actually include?
Delivery, pickup, and disposal up to your container's included tonnage, 2 tons on the 15 yard, 3 on the 20 yard, 4 on the 25 yard, plus delivery at $7 plus $2.50 a mile. On top of that you'd only have mileage at $7 plus $2.50 a mile, overage if you go over the included weight, or extra days if you keep it longer.
What happens if I go over the included weight?
Overage is $75 per ton. The landfill weighs every load, so the charge is based on the actual scale ticket, not an estimate. Wet debris and shingles add up faster than people expect, and concrete, dirt and fill aren't accepted at all.
How much does it cost to keep the dumpster longer?
Extra days are $10 per day, subject to availability. Let us know before your scheduled pickup date and we'll push it back rather than sending a truck for nothing.
Do you offer 30-day rentals?
No: we run 3-day and 7-day rentals only. If you need a container longer than a week, take the 7-day and add extra days at $10 per day.
How do I pay?
We take cash, card and check. You can book and pay by card online through our booking system, or call and we'll take care of it over the phone. Paying by cash or check is fine too: just let us know when you book.
Do you require a deposit?
You can pay in full when you book online, or settle up with us over the phone. If you're a contractor running repeat work and want to talk about billing, give us a call.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Call us as early as you can. If we haven't rolled a truck yet, rescheduling is usually no trouble. Once a driver is on the way it becomes a wasted trip, which is the situation we'd both rather avoid.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The routine additions are always the same four: mileage at $7 plus $2.50 a mile, $10 per extra day, $75 per ton over your included weight, and a Saturday delivery fee. We quote all of that before anything rolls. If something out of the ordinary comes up on the day, like a trip we cannot complete because the spot is blocked, we talk to you about it rather than putting it quietly on the invoice.
Do you offer discounts for contractors or repeat customers?
If you're running regular jobs, call us and we'll talk. Steady volume is worth something to us and we'd rather keep your work than squeeze it.
What's the cheapest dumpster you offer?
The 15 yard at $375 for three days is our lowest-priced option, with delivery at $7 plus $2.50 a mile. For most small cleanouts it's the right can anyway, not just the cheapest.
Do I pay less if the dumpster is only half full?
No: the rental price covers the container, the delivery, the pickup and the disposal allowance whether you fill it or not. That's why sizing it right matters, and why we'd rather talk you into the correct can than the biggest one.
What happens if I go over on both weight and days?
They're billed separately: $75 per ton over your included tonnage, and $10 for each extra day. Both show up on the final invoice with the scale ticket behind the weight charge.
How is the weight actually measured?
The landfill scales the truck loaded and empty, and the difference is your weight. You're billed off that ticket, not an estimate, and we can show it to you.
Is the mileage fee charged one way or round trip?
Mileage is measured from our Conroe location out to your address, not round trip, at $7 plus $2.50 a mile. Most jobs in our core area land inside that. Call with your address and we'll tell you exactly where you fall before you commit.
Do you charge a fuel surcharge?
Delivery is $7 plus $2.50 a mile from our Conroe location, charged from the first mile. That single line is the whole fuel charge, with no second delivery or surcharge line stacked on top of it, and we quote it against your address before you book. A lot of dumpster companies bill mileage or a delivery charge from the first mile, so it is worth checking what a quote actually includes. Ours is the same formula for everyone.
Do you offer discounted rates for multiple dumpsters or big projects?
Yes. If you need several containers, repeat drop-offs, or you're running a large project, call us and we'll work out a negotiated rate. List price is for one-off rentals: steady volume should cost you less, and we'd rather keep your work.
Do you offer a veteran or military discount?
Ask us. A&W is veteran-owned, and we take care of veterans and active-duty service members. We don't post a set figure because what we can do depends on the size, the dates and how far we're driving, so mention it when you call and we'll tell you straight away what we can do on your job.
