What to Ask Before Renting a Dumpster in Southwest Florida

Avoid Surprise Fees, Wrong Sizes, and Wasted Time with These Quick Questions.

Renting a dumpster sounds simple — until it’s not. Between hidden fees, oversized containers, and missed delivery windows, most people don’t realize how many things can go sideways.

At Eco Demolitions, we’ve rented out thousands of dumpsters across Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, Estero, and Marco Island — and we’ve seen every mistake a customer can make when working with the wrong provider.

Before you rent, ask these questions to protect your time, your money, and your job site.

1. Will the Dumpster Actually Fit on My Property?

Most national providers only offer large roll-off containers that require major clearance. If you’re working on a condo, townhome, or gated property, that can be a serious problem.

Our Answer:
Eco Demolitions offers 15-yard dumpsters designed to fit in a single parking space or standard driveway — no permits required.

2. How Soon Can It Be Delivered and Picked Up?

Time is money. A late dumpster can delay your demo, your crew, and your entire schedule.

Our Answer:
We offer same-day delivery and pickup in most areas. We’re local and responsive — not scheduling you into a national dispatch center.

3. What’s the Pricing—and What’s Not Included?

Many providers promote a “flat rate,” then tack on fuel surcharges, drop fees, and hidden tonnage costs.

Our Answer:
We keep it simple:

  • $250 base rate
  • $80/ton for recycling
  • Flat fees for restricted items (mattresses, paint, tires, etc.)

No surprises. No fine print.

4. Will the Dumpster Damage My Driveway?

Heavy containers can crack pavers, scrape concrete, or dig into soft ground.

Our Answer:
We include driveway protection with every delivery — no extra charge. Our trucks are also smaller and lighter than most.

5. Can I Load It Easily?

Many dumpsters are tall and difficult to access, especially for heavier debris.

Our Answer:
Our dumpsters have rear walk-in double doors for safe, easy loading.

6. Do You Handle Removal, or Do I Need to Call Again?

Some providers require you to request removal manually, leading to days of delay.

Our Answer:
We coordinate removal with your schedule — and we’re always just a call or text away.

Bonus Tip: Who Actually Owns the Dumpster You’re Renting?

You’d be surprised how many companies outsource dumpster delivery to a third party — which means less control, less accountability, and more finger-pointing if something goes wrong.

Eco Demolitions owns our fleet, manages our own drivers, and handles all logistics in-house.
