"I would use them again; however, they give a two hour window so be prepared to wait around. They do call ahead. Very professional and clean. They also check with you to see if particular items should be hauled away."
Deepak G. in May 2004
"I received a dumpster as requested. I had to call a few times to confirm the actual delivery time and pick up time. They were not that great at returning messages. Regardless, all in all it was a pretty hassle free transaction. I would use them again if I needed a dumpster to remove large amounts of material. In this case I was disposing of about 4-5 tons of concrete and sand. I think the price was reasonable given my usage."
