Dumpster Rental Service in Greater Richmond Region 

The standard rental period is 7 days at a flat rate, providing you with ample time to complete your project. If you require the dumpster for a longer duration, you can extend the rental for $15 per additional day. If you anticipate needing a dumpster for an extended period, let us know in advance, and we may be able to offer a long-term rental arrangement at a discounted rate. 

Once you have finished using your dumpster, scheduling a pickup is easy! Simply call us at (804) 729-4996 or email us at info@olddominiondumpsters.com to request removal. We recommend notifying us at least 24 hours in advance to ensure timely pickup. If you need an early removal before the end of your rental period, let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. 

If your dumpster fills up before your project is complete, we can swap it out with a fresh one. Just call (804) 729-4996 or email info@olddominiondumpsters.com, and we’ll schedule an exchange at your earliest convenience. Additional rental fees apply based on the standard dumpster pricing. Keep in mind that overfilling the dumpster beyond the maximum fill line may result in additional fees or difficulty in safe transport. 

Yes! Our 20-yard dumpsters are equipped with a convenient swinging access door that allows you to walk in large or heavy items instead of lifting them over the sides. This feature is particularly useful for bulky furniture, large debris, and heavy materials like concrete or construction waste. 

No, our dumpsters are open-top roll-offs, meaning they do not come with a lid or cover. This design allows for easy loading of waste materials from any side. If you need to protect the contents from rain or wind, you can use a tarp to cover the dumpster when not in use. 

The weight of your debris is determined using a weigh station at the landfill. When our truck arrives at the landfill, it is weighed before and after unloading the dumpster. The difference between these two measurements determines the total weight of your debris. Our rental prices include a standard weight allowance, which varies based on the size of the dumpster. If your load exceeds the included weight, an overage charge will apply. Check the dumpster details on our website or contact us to understand weight limits for your rental. 

Certain items cannot be disposed of in our dumpsters due to environmental regulations and safety concerns. These include:

• Hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, asbestos, pesticides, fuels)

• Electronics (TVs, computers, monitors)

• Large appliances (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners)

• Tires and automotive batteries

• Hot water tanks

• Mattresses and box springs (unless approved)

• Medical waste or biohazardous materials

• Flammable or explosive materials

If you are unsure whether an item is allowed, please call (804) 729-4996 before disposing of it. Illegal dumping of prohibited materials may result in additional fees.

We accept a variety of secure payment options, including:

• Major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)

• Debit cards

• Checks (business or personal)

Payment is typically required at the time of booking to confirm your rental. If you have special billing requirements or need an invoice for your records, let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist you.

No, you do not need to be on-site for the drop-off or pickup as long as:

• You have provided clear instructions on dumpster placement.

• The drop-off area is accessible, free of obstructions, and has a hard, level surface.

• There are no locked gates or barriers restricting access.

If you have a specific placement preference, we recommend marking the area with cones, chalk, or a tarp to ensure proper positioning.

To safely deliver and place the dumpster, we require a clear space of at least 10 feet wide and at least 20 feet in length. Additionally, we need a height clearance of at least 14 feet to allow the truck to raise and position the dumpster properly.

• Make sure the area is free from low-hanging branches, power lines, or obstacles.

• Avoid placing the dumpster on soft ground (such as grass or mud) to prevent sinking.

If you’re unsure whether your location meets the space requirements, feel free to send us a photo or ask for our guidance!
