Dumpster Rental Service in Connecticut

At Hippo Dumpster Rental, our rental service includes the delivery, pickup, and responsible disposal of your waste. Once we retrieve the dumpster, we take the contents to a local processing facility where the waste is sorted. Recyclable materials are separated, and non-recyclables are disposed of by local, state, and federal regulations. We aim to make the process as hassle-free as possible so you can focus on your project.

After collecting your dumpster, the waste is transported to a processing facility for sorting. Recyclable items, including paper, cardboard, scrap metal, and wood, are separated from general waste. These recyclable materials are then processed appropriately to help minimize the impact on landfills. Non-recyclable materials are disposed of in an environmentally responsible way, in compliance with all safety and regulatory standards.

Our roll-off dumpsters are designed to accommodate the most solid, non-hazardous materials. Acceptable items include:

Household Debris: includes furniture, mattresses, flooring (carpet, tile, vinyl), bathtubs, sinks, and toilets.

Construction Debris: Wood, metal, insulation, drywall, roofing shingles, masonry, and glass.

Recyclable Materials: Wood, paper, cardboard, scrap metal, and concrete.

Clean-Fill Materials: Unpainted concrete, asphalt, dirt, and stone (in clean-fill containers only).

Dried Paint: Accepted as well.

Certain items are prohibited due to safety and regulatory concerns. These include:

- Hazardous waste, such as biomedical or infectious materials

- Flammable, explosive, or chemical substances (including solvents and wet paint)

- Propane tanks, aerosol cans, motor oils, refrigerants, and antifreeze

- Batteries, fluorescent tubes, and any liquids or food waste

Please contact us for clarification if you are unsure whether a specific item is allowed.

Dirt, concrete, and masonry can be placed in clean-fill containers, but they must be free of trash or biodegradable materials. Concrete or dirt should not be mixed with other types of waste in a regular trash dumpster. Due to weight restrictions on these heavy materials, special considerations apply. Please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs.

Renting a dumpster with us is simple:

1. Contact us for an estimate and choose the right dumpster size for your project.

2. Schedule your delivery and let us know when you need the dumpster.

3. Prepare the area where the dumpster will be placed. If you're putting it on your driveway, consider laying down plywood to protect the surface. We can provide protective materials upon request.

4. Fill the dumpster with acceptable items during your rental period.

5. At the end of your rental, we'll arrange for final pickup and haul the dumpster away.

It's that easy!

The rental period depends on your project needs. We offer flexible rental durations, so whether you require a dumpster for a few days or an extended time, we can accommodate your schedule. Contact us to discuss specific rental terms and availability.

We offer a variety of dumpster sizes to accommodate different projects:

-10-yard dumpsters are ideal for small home projects, such as garage clean-outs or minor renovations.

-5-yard dumpsters are suitable for medium-sized clean-outs or remodeling jobs.

-20-yard dumpsters are perfect for larger projects, including construction or significant home renovations.

Each size is designed to handle different volumes of debris, and we're here to help you choose the right size for your project.

Each dumpster has a designated fill line, and it's important not to exceed this limit due to legal restrictions on the weight our trucks can carry. Overfilling the dumpster may incur significant additional fees if it exceeds the one-ton weight limit. The extra charge for exceeding the weight limit is $150 per further ton. If you're uncertain about the weight of your debris, please get in touch with us, and we'll assist you in making an estimate.

Certain large appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners, cannot be disposed of due to potential environmental hazards (e.g., refrigerants). However, you can dispose of some appliances for an additional fee, as detailed below:

- Refrigerators, Freezers, Air Conditioners: $25 each

- Mattresses & Box Springs: $100 each

- Tires: $10 to $75 each, depending on size

- TVs & Monitors: $35 each

If you want to dispose of specific items, please contact us to discuss any additional fees or restrictions that may apply.
