Q. Do I need to be present during the dumpster delivery or pick-up?
A.
Yes, an adult should be present at the delivery and pickup location to ensure smooth placement of your driveway-safe roll-off dumpster. If needed, we can also coordinate safe placement instructions in advance to keep your Port Charlotte dumpster rental secure and convenient. In some instances, you can send a picture and give clear written instructions of where you want the dumpster placed. This way we make sure the dumpster is exactly where you want it.
Q. What sizes of dumpsters are available for rent?
A.
Dumpster Fire Disposal offers three popular roll-off dumpster sizes:
- 7-yard: Ideal for small cleanouts or yard projects.
- 15-yard: Great for home renovations and bulky item removal.
- 20-yard: Best for construction debris or large household cleanups.
Each dumpster is driveway-friendly and easy to load.
Q. How long can I keep the dumpster?
A.
You can rent a dumpster from us for 1 to 7 days or more—whichever works best for your schedule.

Contractor rental periods and monthly subscriptions are also available.
Q. Do I need a permit to rent a dumpster?
A.
In most cases, you will not need a permit if your roll-off dumpster rental is placed on private property such as your driveway. However, if you plan to place the dumpster on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way in Port Charlotte or other parts of Southwest Florida, a permit from the local city or county may be required. Don’t worry—we can guide you through the process and help you determine whether a dumpster permit is necessary for your project. To avoid delays and fines, it’s always best to check with your local municipality before scheduling your delivery. For fast answers, just call or text us at (239) 412-3283 and we’ll make sure your dumpster rental is compliant, safe, and hassle-free.
Q. What can I put in a roll-off dumpster?
A.
All the stuff. You can safely dispose of a wide range of non-hazardous waste with your Dumpster Fire rental. Common approved items include:
- Household junk such as old clothes, broken toys, and that exercise bike you swore you’d use
- Furniture like couches, chairs, tables, and your aunt’s 300-lb floral loveseat that’s haunted every move
- Yard debris—branches, leaves, storm cleanup, or that jungle of palm fronds you’ve been ignoring
- Construction and remodeling debris such as wood, drywall, flooring, cabinets, and tires (put them on top please)
- Roofing materials—yes, even shingles from that roof that should’ve been replaced in 1998
Restricted items—which cannot go in your Port Charlotte dumpster rental—include hazardous materials like chemicals, paints, oils, solvents, and car batteries. Sorry, no propane tanks, live alligators, or ex-roommates either. These must be handled through local hazardous waste programs. If you’re not sure whether your trash makes the cut, just call or text us at (239) 412-3283. We’ll help you choose the right roll-off dumpster for your cleanup. For bigger messes, we also offer options for heavy debris disposal like concrete, dirt, and asphalt.
Q. Are there extra fees for exceeding the weight limit?
A.
Yes—our dumpster rentals include a built-in weight allowance (2 tons for a 20-yard dumpster or 4,000 Lbs). Think of it as the dumpster’s all you can eat buffet limit. Go over that limit, and extra disposal fees may apply, based on the excess weight. Don’t worry though—we’re happy to help you estimate the right dumpster size for your project ahead of time so you can avoid heavy surprises (that was a pun, everyone loves a pun).
Q. Can I get same-day or next-day delivery?
A.
Absolutely! We provide fast same-day or next-day dumpster delivery across Southwest Florida. That means you’re covered in Port Charlotte, FL, Cape Coral, FL, Fort Myers, FL, Punta Gorda, FL, Lehigh Acres, FL, and even Pine Island, FL.
