Dumpster Rentals Lackawanna County, PA

At Sourgum, we pride ourselves on providing transparent and easy-to-understand pricing for our customers. There are no hidden charges, surprise fees, or unexpected price increases - the price you see on your screen is the price you pay.

We determine our dumpster rental pricing by 3 factors: location, material type, and material weight.

Location

Location matters! Pricing for dumpster rentals is based on the rates in your county and state. Each county can have different rules, regulations, and fees associated with waste flow, disposal of debris, and sorting materials, which change the end price. The price to rent a dumpster in Lackawanna County PA is based on current county rules and regulations.

Material Type

What materials are you disposing of? Material type can affect the dumpster rental cost as well. Sourgum Waste is committed to ensuring you get the best price for waste disposal, and that as much of your debris is recycled as possible.

Material Weight

The dumpster weight affects the end cost as well. The price you see when you order your dumpster rental is based on a predetermined amount of weight. If your dumpster exceeds this weight, you'll pay an additional prorated fee for excess weight and disposal above and beyond what's already covered. At the end of your dumpster rental, you'll receive a ticket with the total weight for full transparency.

At Sourgum Waste, we're focused on exceptional customer service and increasing the sustainability of the waste management industry.

We know change is needed in the industry; standards of waste flow are outdated, disposal regulations are complicated, and volumes of debris have changed tremendously in the last decade. Many waste management companies display arbitrary pricing, lack customer support systems, and take advantage of confusing disposal regulations. If you can't place a rental order easily, or reach customer support over the phone, how can you move forward with your project?

We also know the waste management industry has a trash problem, leaving a massive carbon footprint year after year. No one is stepping up to try to reduce or offset this impact- but we will.

Sourgum is comfortable being the odd man out in the industry; the only company that offers you multiple ways to book has customer service 7 days a week and uses each dumpster rental as an opportunity to give back and offset our carbon footprint.

If you're looking for an affordable, dependable waste management partner with a sustainable focus, Sourgum Waste is the only choice.

Flexible Rental Periods

All of our dumpster rentals have a complimentary rental period for your convenience. Keep your dumpster for the entire time, or give us a call whenever you're ready to have it hauled away. Once the dumpster is filled, we make it easy to get rid of. You don't even need to be home for the haul away! Let us know when and where, and simply ensure the path to the dumpster is free of debris so the truck can access it. If you need to go the opposite direction and extend your dumpster rental, we make it easy with daily flat-rate pricing.

As part of our customer service promise, you can also receive updates from our team every step of the way.
