Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size dumpster do I need for home renovation?

    For most home renovations, a 15-20 yard dumpster works well. Kitchen remodels typically need 15 yards, while full bathroom renovations require 20 yards. At Big Blue Dumpster Rentals, we offer sizes from 10 to 21 yards to match your project scope.
  • How long can I keep a rental dumpster?

    Most dumpster rentals include a 7-14 day period, with flexible extensions available. Commercial projects often need longer rental periods than residential cleanouts. We work with customers in Fayetteville to adjust rental duration based on project timeline.
  • Can I put roofing materials in a dumpster?

    Yes, roofing materials like shingles, tiles, and underlayment can go in construction debris dumpsters. Heavy materials like shingles may require smaller containers due to weight limits. Our specialized construction dumpsters handle roofing debris efficiently.
  • What's the difference between roll-off and regular dumpsters?

    Roll-off containers use hydraulic systems for easy delivery and pickup, making them ideal for temporary projects. They're delivered on trucks and placed exactly where needed. Regular dumpsters are typically permanent installations for ongoing waste collection.
  • Do you recycle materials from dumpster rentals?

    Yes, we sort waste and recycle eligible materials to minimize landfill impact. Items like metal, cardboard, and certain construction materials get recycled when possible. This helps reduce environmental impact while managing your waste responsibly.
  • Can yard waste go in the same dumpster as household junk?

    It's better to separate yard waste from household items when possible. Yard debris like branches, leaves, and grass clippings often have different disposal requirements. We offer specialized yard waste dumpsters for landscaping cleanup projects.
  • What items can't go in a residential dumpster rental?

    Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, batteries, and electronics typically can't go in dumpsters. Appliances and tires often require special disposal. We'll explain prohibited items when scheduling your rental in Fayetteville.
  • How much does construction debris removal cost?

    Construction debris removal costs depend on dumpster size, rental period, and material type. Heavy materials like concrete cost more than lumber due to weight limits. We provide transparent pricing based on your specific construction project needs.
  • When should I schedule dumpster delivery for my project?

    Schedule delivery 1-2 days before you start your project to ensure availability. Peak seasons like spring cleaning and storm cleanup periods book quickly. Early scheduling helps guarantee the right size dumpster arrives when needed.
  • Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Fayetteville?

    Permits are typically required if the dumpster sits on public streets or sidewalks in Fayetteville. Driveway placement usually doesn't need permits. Check with local authorities or we can help guide you through permit requirements.
