Q: Can I get bulk materials delivered with my container?

You will be charged a fee for the dumpster relocation, but this is typically less than the cost of a second rental. Please
contact us for more information if you are interested in utilizing a single rental for multiple jobsites.

Q: What is a failed delivery or pick-up attempt?
A:
A failed delivery or pick-up attempt occurs when a renter either fails to provide adequate delivery space to place the roll-off dumpster or fails to provide Berky’s access to pick-up the dumpster on their scheduled pick-up date. Examples could include a vehicle parked in front or near the dumpster, preventing pick-up. A $75.00 fee is charged if a failed pick-up/delivery attempt occurs.
