Bargain Bin FAQs
Get answers to frequently asked questions from Bargain Bins customers before you rent a roll off dumpster. Topics include acceptable materials, additional fees, discounts and safety precautions.
Most state and local governmental agencies have programs to collect and dispose of Household Hazardous Wastes. We encourage you to contact and/or research what programs are available in your area.
As an example, Littleton has a program with details found at https://www.littletonco.gov/Government/Departments/Public-Works-Engineering/hazardous-materials-collection
Please refer to the “what can go in” tab for specific details about what is allowed in your dumpster. Generally, if it is allowed in the local landfill it is acceptable, and if not then it isn’t. As an example, tires are almost never accepted in landfills, and if you place tires in the roll-off dumpster there will be an additional $25 charge per tire for removal and disposal. Another example is mattresses and box springs, where they may be accepted in many regions if an additional charge is paid. As a general rule, paint cans are okay as long as the paint is completely dried out. Again, please refer to the “what can go in” page.
Most cities and HOA communities do not allow dumpsters to be placed in the street without a permit. Fortunately, we have equipment that allows us to place our bins on property when others can’t, typically driveways. It is the customer’s responsibility to check with local municipalities to determine if a permit is required for placing the dumpster in the street. It is also the customer’s responsibility to check with their HOA for regulations regarding dumpster rentals. We will do our very best to assist you.
If you want the bin to be placed on a street, your local city may have a process where you can apply for this to happen. All permits and fees required to place a dumpster in the street is the sole responsibility of the renter.
Our price is a single charge that covers delivery, removal and disposal for bins that are within our defined delivery area, within allowed weight limits, and do not have unacceptable waste or items that have additional fees. All prices and any potential fees for overweight or other situations are clearly posted on our website. For rentals outside our defined delivery area additional fees will apply and you will need to call the office for a fee quote, if possible, depending upon where you are located.
Yes, since disposal is a very high percentage of the cost, each bin has an allowable weight for the price. Weight limits for standard dumpster rental, and disposal are:
- 12yd – 3,000lbs
- 15yd – 4,000lbs
- 20yd – 5,000lbs
Anything over these limits is charged a $0.07 fee per pound to cover the additional costs of disposal.
Unless heavy debris is loaded, rarely will the bin weight exceed the included weight.
Legally, and for safety reasons, we can only carry up to 7,000 lbs. If the bin is over this, the customer must off load, pay a $75 trip fee and be charged $15 per day until off-loaded.
Yes, the parent company, Bargain Bins LLC opened December 2019 in Monument, Colorado. The founder, Rick has over 30 years’ experience working for and running large waste and recycling companies. Bargain Bins LLC was created to provide a sensible dumpster service at residential properties and small commercial projects. Bargain Bins is growing, with the Denver location started in 2023 by Colorado residents who are active in all aspects of the operation.
Nothing should be over the top of the container. Materials that exceed the top of the container may require removal for safe transporting before we pick up the dumpster. By law we are required to tarp each load for safe transport. The customer is responsible for removing excess debris and a $50 return trip fee will be charged to cover our cost.
As a convenience we accept very limited amounts. Keep in mind, this material often weighs 2,000-lbs. per yard. A 12-yd MAX filled with this material would weight 24,000 lbs. If you plan to throw out more than a yard, you need to order from a company with the big trucks. See bin capacities for estimated volumes allowed.
Turnaround time depends upon demand and equipment availability. Typically we can do next day, but don’t count on it. Reserving in advance is a good thing. If you cancel your order 48 hours in advance, your payment will be fully refunded. If you decide to cancel less than 48 hours prior to your service day a $75 charge will be made and the balance of the payment returned.
Being home at time of delivery and removal is not required, although we may call while on site to confirm proper placement of the bin.
Yes. Bargain Bins offers a $10 discount for military personnel and seniors 65 and older. Only one discount applies per household.
Customers are prohibited from moving our MAX bins. If you would like us to move the dumpster from one location to another you can call in and make arrangements with our staff. A relocation fee of $75 will be collected for this service.
Our 3-Yard Clutter Buster Bins can be moved by the customer with care. Keep in mind, you are fully responsible for any damage the bin may cause or injuries you may incur.
We have no idea of the pre-existing condition of your driveway and subsurface, so we do not take responsibility for driveway damage. We do, however, take the utmost care while delivering and removing the bin and have upgraded all of our dumpsters with driveway friendly rubber rollers (wheels) made out of recycled truck tires.
Yes, please refer to the Guidelines tab on our website.
The customer is responsible for any damage caused to the dumpster while it is under a rental agreement with you. For example, all unauthorized moving of a dumpster causing damage, pouring wet paint or other sticky material into the dumpster, paint overspray or graffiti that defaces or mars the surface and appearance of the dumpster, or using heavy equipment to drop heavy loads into the dumpster causing dents in its interior and exterior sheet metal. Repairs for dumpster damage will be charged to customer.
Bargain Bins standard rates are for 7 days. If additional days are needed, we strongly recommend requesting additional days at the time you order. This will reserve your rental and ensure the roll off or dumpster is not committed to a future customer after 7 days. Additional fees apply for additional days and there is no guarantee that you will be able to keep the dumpster extra days once your order has been placed. See our fee schedule. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.
The preferred and most common method is by making an advance payment through a credit or debit card. This reserves the delivery slot. On certain occasions, check or cash can be arranged on delivery.
