Dumpster Rentals in Salem County, NJ

When you are deciding which size dumpster is right for your project, you will need to consider dumpster rental weight limitations. Dumpster rentals come with a pre-purchase weight limit that is determined by dumpster size and type. At Sourgum Waste, we simply do not believe in hidden fees or surprise charges. That’s why this weight limit will always be clear to you before you order your dumpster rental. If you happen to exceed this weight limit, there is no need to worry. You will simply pay the standard, prorated overage fee on the excess weight. In the spirit of complete price transparency, we will always return a copy of the official dump ticket and scale reading so that you know exactly what you are paying for.

Certain materials are more likely to cause your dumpster to exceed its established weight limit. Heavier materials tend to result from construction sites, home renovation projects, and large-scale roof repairs. To give you a better idea, here is a list of some materials that can push your dumpster over its weight limit:

• Tile, wood, and asphalt roofing shingles

• Concrete, brick, stone, or other heavy rock-like materials

• Dirt, clay, and sand

Renting a separate dumpster if you are disposing of concrete or heavy debris tends to be the most cost-effective and efficient option in the long run. Sourgum Waste offers special pricing and flat rates for heavy debris dumpsters, allowing you more flexibility at a better price than a standard overweight dumpster. If you have any questions about dumpster rental weight limits or would like us to guide you through your options, reach out to our helpful customer service for more information on price-sensible solutions for your waste disposal needs.

Be sure to double-check with Sourgum Waste for more specific regulations. Some waste disposal sites require that materials like construction debris, roofing shingles, upholstered furniture or mattresses, and other types of waste materials remain in separate containers. Breaking facility rules can result in fines or increased fees. On the other hand, you may be able to receive a discount for keeping certain materials like asphalt roof shingles in separate dumpsters. If you have specific questions, contact us and we can help you comply with your local waste disposal facility guidelines.
