If material exceeds limits the customer will be required to remove excess material. If the customer is not available the dumpster will be left and the customer will be charged for a second collection trip.
If restricted items are found there will be an additional charge based on the fees at the transfer station and will be based on Apexs discretion.
What if something changes during the project?
an additional pick-up/drop off in the same rental time period is considered a separate rental
If you need additional rental time typically with at least 24hr notice we can accomodate.
Extended time is charged on a case by case basis. The contract will be ammended once the customer has made arrangements with Apex servicers.
For changes made on the scheduled pick-up day additional extension fees could apply
If the order is cancelled at least 24hrs in advance there is no cancellation fee unless paid for with credit card in which a 5% fee will apply.
If the location changes or you need an time extension contact must be made within 24hr hours in order to accommodate
If the driver shows up to pick up or deliver and you are not ready there is a $100 charge
Where can I place the dumpster?
Dumpsters are typically put into a driveway or yard but may be placed in the street however:
Apex is not responsible for obtaining any permits to do so
We are not liable if the city or county imposes fines or requests the bin to be moved ($100 relocation fee will apply for the drive to come out and move + milage overages if 30 or more miles outside of Dekalb County)
Recommended that the space provided be double the length and height for clearance
It is suggested that the dumpster be placed on a piece of plywood to help protect the surface (especially if on dirt)
Apex is not responsible for damage on pavement, driveways, ground, etc.
It is the customers responsibility to affirm that the location they have selected is sound for dumpster weight
