We currently do not have a fuel surcharge. If the cost of diesel rises more than 30% from the price it is at today - January 1st, 2024 Diesel is at $ 3.69 per gallon, we would consider adding a fuel surcharge. We have had a temporary fuel surcharge in the past when Diesel Fuel went over $ 5.00 per gallon in March 2022.

We do not have dumpster refresh fees. Typically after 5 to 7 years we will replace the dumpster and bring the old one back to our dumpster yard to be reconditioned.

If you decide to pay your bill via Credit Card we will pay the 3% Merchant Fee for you, our customer.

I'm curious of any fees outside of the normal monthly cost of the dumpster and the pickup service?
