Flat-Rate Dumpster Rental Pricing — Frequently Asked Questions

    We get a lot of questions about how our pricing works. This page covers everything — what is included, what is not, how weight limits apply, and why flat-rate pricing saves you money compared to companies that nickel-and-dime with hidden fees.

    Flat-rate pricing means the price you see is the price you pay for the standard rental. Our rates include delivery to your property, pickup when you are done, and a 7-day rental period. There are no separate line items for fuel, mileage, or environmental fees. The only additional charges that could apply are if you keep the dumpster past 7 days ($7 per day) or exceed the included weight allowance ($95 per additional ton).

    Every rental includes free delivery, free pickup, a 7-day rental period, and a set weight allowance. The 10 yard container includes 1 ton (2,000 lbs). The 20 and 30 yard containers each include 3 tons (6,000 lbs). We also include placement on your driveway, yard, or job site — wherever you need it.

    Each dumpster size comes with an included weight allowance. When we pick up your container, it crosses a certified scale. If the total weight exceeds your included allowance, an overage charge of $95 per additional ton applies. Most residential cleanouts and renovation projects stay within the included limits. Roofing debris and concrete are the most common materials that trigger overweight charges because they are much denser than typical household junk.

    No problem. If your project runs longer than expected, the daily overage rate is $7 per day after the initial 7-day period. There is no penalty or rush fee — just let us know you need more time. Many of our customers on the Eastern Shore keep the dumpster for 10 to 14 days, especially for larger renovation projects or estate cleanouts.

    Many dumpster rental companies advertise a low base price but then add separate charges for delivery, pickup, fuel surcharges, and environmental fees. By the time you add those up, the total cost is often higher than our flat rate. With Yard Works Plus, the number we quote is the number you pay. No surprises, no fine print, no hidden line items.

    We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. Payment is due when the dumpster is picked up, so you do not have to pay anything upfront before your container arrives.

    Yes. If you need to reschedule, just call us as early as possible — ideally the day before your scheduled delivery. There is no cancellation fee as long as you let us know before we dispatch the truck. Same-day cancellations may not always be possible once the truck is loaded and en route.

    The fastest way is to call us at 410-820-6414. Tell us your location, what you are throwing away, and roughly how much material you expect, and we will recommend the right dumpster size and give you an exact price on the spot. You can also fill out our online quote form or book directly through our website.

    No. Our flat-rate prices are the same whether you are in Easton, Cambridge, Chestertown, Salisbury, or Georgetown, Delaware. We do not charge extra for distance within our service area, which covers Talbot, Dorchester, Caroline, Queen Anne's, Kent, and Wicomico counties in Maryland, plus parts of Sussex County, Delaware.

    Our standard pricing covers most common debris — construction materials, household junk, furniture, yard waste, and roofing shingles. The only cost variable is weight. Heavier loads may incur overage charges at $95 per additional ton beyond the included allowance. We cannot accept hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, tires, batteries, or appliances with refrigerants (unless Freon has been professionally removed).
