Common questions
Dumpsters
Do you have staff who speak Spanish? / ¿Hablan español?
Yes. Our dumpster dispatchers and our scale house staff speak English and Spanish. Sí, se habla español: llame al (336) 736-2224.
What size dumpster do I need?
Most homeowners pick a 15 yard. A 15 yard is right for small clean-outs and anything heavy like concrete or dirt. A 30 or 40 yard is for construction and big clean-outs with lots of bulky, light material. Not sure? Call and describe the job.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
Homeowner rentals include 7 days, then a day. Contractor accounts get 14 days on site, then a day. Need it longer? Call dispatch and we will extend it.
Can the dumpster go on the street?
Driveways are best, and no permit is needed on your own property. On a public street or sidewalk, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point and most Triad towns require a right-of-way permit from the city. Tell us where the dumpster is going and we will point you to the right office.
Will it damage my driveway?
Our drivers set boards under the dumpster to protect concrete and asphalt, and place it where you ask.
What can't go in the dumpster?
Paint, chemicals, tires, batteries, appliances with refrigerant, and anything hazardous. When in doubt, call before you toss it.
Is there a weight limit?
Yes. Our trucks can only haul so much weight legally, so concrete and dirt go in our 20 yard concrete box, loaded up to 8 tons. Homeowner flat rates include the tonnage listed. Contractor accounts are billed per haul plus the tons on the scale ticket, with no fuel or environmental fees.
How much does a portable toilet cost?
How fast can you deliver?
Usually within a day or two across the Triad, and often sooner. Call dispatch at (336) 736-2224 for today's schedule.
Where do you deliver?
Dumpsters and portable toilets go anywhere within 40 miles of Greensboro and Winston-Salem, from Clemmons to Mebane and from Reidsville to Asheboro. That covers Guilford, Forsyth, Alamance, Davidson, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Davie and Orange counties. If you are on the edge, call and ask.
Where does my trash go?
To a site we own: our Bishop Road landfill in Greensboro or our Abbey Green transfer station in Winston-Salem. Clean concrete gets crushed and recycled.
Portable toilets
How often are the units serviced?
Weekly is standard for job sites, and more often for large crews or events. Every service includes pumping, cleaning, sanitizing and restocking.
Do you have units for women, or accessible units?
Yes. Pink women's units with no urinal, and ADA wheelchair-accessible units, plus hand-wash stations and holding tanks for office trailers.
How many units does my event need?
Roughly one unit per 50 guests for a few hours, more if alcohol is served or the event runs all day. Call us and we will plan the count with you.
Drop-off and disposal
Can I bring a load myself?
Yes. Bishop Road in Greensboro takes construction debris, concrete, land-clearing debris and asbestos (call ahead for asbestos). Abbey Green in Winston-Salem takes household and business trash, construction debris and industrial waste. Both charge by weight on our scales.
Do I need cash?
No. We take all major credit cards, bank transfer (ACH), cash and checks. Contractors and haulers can set up a commercial account.
Does my load have to be covered?
Yes. Tarp or cover your load on the way in.
Materials
What do you sell?
Recycled concrete products: 1½-inch minus base stone (ABC, also called crusher run), ¾-inch minus clean stone and ⅜-inch minus concrete fines (Bishop Road and Abbey Green). Screened and unscreened Sandrock at Viewmont Sandrock Pit. Everything is sold by the ton.
Do you deliver materials?
No. Sandrock and crushed concrete are pick-up only at Bishop Road, Abbey Green and Viewmont. Bring a truck or trailer and we load you.
