Dumpster Rental Service in Omaha Metropolitan Area

Each dumpster rental includes a standard 7-day rental period. If you need to keep the dumpster beyond 7 days, there is an additional fee of $25 per extra day. Once your rental reaches 14 days, it will be considered an additional weekly rental, and you may be charged up to half the original cost of the dumpster. We strive to offer flexible terms to fit your project timeline. If you're a contractor or need a long-term rental, please get in touch with us directly to inquire about special 30-day pricing and options. We're happy to accommodate longer projects with advanced notice.

If you finish your project early and need the dumpster picked up before the scheduled 7-day rental period ends, no problem. You can request an early pickup by selecting a specific return date when booking. Alternatively, you can send a quick text, and our team will add you to the available pickup so that you notify us 24 hours in advance to help us coordinate efficiently. Early pickups do not affect your overall rental rate, but timely communication ensures a smooth removal process. Our goal is to provide a convenient service that aligns with your timeline.

While our dumpsters are designed with built-in wheels to help minimize damage, marks or wear on your driveway are still possible. Scratches, scuffing, or skid marks can occur, particularly when a fully loaded dumpster is picked up. Sometimes, hairline cracks may develop, especially on older or brittle concrete surfaces. We recommend placing protective boards or plywood under the dumpster for added protection, especially if you're concerned about surface damage. Please note that RMS Dumpsters is not liable for any driveway damage, including oil stains that may result from the equipment or contents. We do our best to ensure a clean and careful delivery and pickup process.

Your rental includes one delivery and one pickup, which means the dumpster will be emptied only once during your rental period. If you fill the dumpster and need it emptied before your project is complete, you must request a swap-out service. This involves us picking up the full dumpster and replacing it with a new, empty one. Please remember that a swap-out is considered an additional rental and will be charged. We recommend estimating your debris volume in advance and selecting the appropriate dumpster size to minimize the need for multiple hauls. Our team is happy to help guide you to the best option if you're unsure.

No, we cannot place a dumpster directly on the street unless you have obtained a valid permit from your city or municipality. Local ordinances require permits for public property items, including roads, curbsides, or alleys. The customer is responsible for securing the necessary license before scheduling delivery. Once the permit is approved, we’ll place the dumpster according to your specifications. We must decline any street placement without proper authorization to avoid fines and liability. We can provide general guidance if you need help understanding your city’s requirements.

We cannot place dumpsters on sidewalks or in any area obstructing pedestrian walkways unless you first obtain a permit from your city. These permits ensure that safety and accessibility standards are maintained for public spaces. However, we can place dumpsters on your lawn or grassy area, provided the ground is level and accessible for our truck. Please remember that putting a heavy dumpster on grass may leave indentations or ruts, especially after rain. If you’re unsure about where to place the dumpster, our team can help you choose the most suitable location during scheduling. Our priority is to keep your property safe while adhering to local rules.

A dry run fee occurs when our driver arrives to pick up or deliver your dumpster but cannot complete the job due to an avoidable issue. Common reasons include a blocked path (like a parked car in front of the dumpster), an overfilled container, or inaccessible terrain. In such cases, our team must reschedule the trip, which takes time and resources. To help avoid dry run fees, we recommend keeping the area around the dumpster clear, ensuring the load does not exceed the fill line, and double-checking access before your scheduled pickup. If you believe you were charged a dry run fee in error, please contact us, and we’ll gladly review your case. Communication is key to preventing these situations.

If your dumpster is filled beyond the top edge or “fill line,” it is considered overfilled. This creates safety hazards during transportation, as debris could fall out in transit. By law, our trucks are not permitted to haul overfilled dumpsters, which could also damage our equipment. In these situations, you may be charged an overfill fee to adjust the load or return later. We recommend keeping all debris level with or below the top of the dumpster to ensure safe and compliant transport. We’re happy to arrange a larger container or a swap-out if you need more space.

This situation is scarce and only happens as a last resort. We may need to offload the contents if we cannot haul your dumpster because it is overfilled or contains prohibited items rejected by the landfill. In such cases, we make every reasonable effort to contact you first and provide solutions, such as removing the restricted materials or redistributing the weight. If those efforts fail and the dumpster cannot be safely transported, we may have to unload it on-site. This is done to comply with safety regulations and protect our equipment and personnel. To avoid this, please follow all loading guidelines and reach out if you are unsure about any items.

RMS Dumpsters does not offer junk removal or hauling services for individual items such as furniture or appliances. We specialize strictly in dumpster rentals, where you can load all acceptable waste materials yourself. If you have furniture, mattresses, or appliances you’d like to dispose of, you can place them in your rented dumpster if they meet local landfill requirements. Please check in advance, as some items may require special handling or be restricted by local disposal laws. We recommend third-party providers if you need help locating a junk removal service. But for dumpster-only services, RMS is your reliable source.
