Frequently Asked Questions

Typical rentals run $295 to $695, with no hidden pickup, fuel or delivery fees. The price depends on the size, the type of debris, the delivery location and any permit, and how long you keep it. You get a flat rate on the phone covering delivery, pickup, the standard rental of up to 7 days and the included weight — 2 to 3 tons on a 10 or 15 yard, 3 to 4 on a 20, 4 to 5 on a 30, 5 to 6 on a 40. Going over costs extra. The cost guide breaks it down.

Yes. Delivery, pickup, the rental period and disposal up to the included weight are all in the one flat price. No fuel surcharges, no hidden fees.

Three things: going over the included weight, keeping the container past the rental window — at a low daily rate — and restricted materials that have to come out of the load. We explain it all on the first call so there is nothing to find later.

Not a different rate — but concrete, brick, dirt, shingles and tile use up the included weight fast. So we size heavy loads differently (a 10 yard loaded level, or split loads) and tell you where the weight line is before you load.

All major credit cards, business checks and electronic payments. Payment, or a deposit, may be taken before delivery. Contractors and repeat clients get invoices, and long-term and multi-bin customers get discounted pricing and monthly invoicing. Cancel up to 24 hours before delivery for a full refund.

On your own driveway or private property, we found no City of Spartanburg or Spartanburg County rule requiring one. In a City street, sidewalk, alley or parking space, yes: City Code Sec. 30-156 makes it unlawful to obstruct a City street without the city manager's consent — and the street runs from the curb to your property line — so you need the City's Temporary Street Closure/Encroachment application: a minimum $75 fee, a $1 million liability certificate and a $10,000 surety bond naming the City, a hold harmless agreement and a traffic control plan approved by the Traffic Services Manager. You set the start and end dates on the application, you are responsible for the traffic control devices, and anything left in the street at night needs a light at each end and one every 25 feet between (Sec. 30-158(b)). The permit guide and your town page cover the details.

Inside the City, with the permit — call Traffic Services (864-596-3741) about the traffic control plan. On a state road, S.C. Code Sec. 57-7-210 makes it unlawful to place an obstruction anywhere in the right-of-way, shoulders included, and SCDOT handles encroachment permits; the City wants a copy of the SCDOT permit too. In the unincorporated county we found no county permit for a container on a county road. Elsewhere: Greer's code bans obstructions on its streets (Sec. 62-181), Pacolet keeps bulk containers off its streets unless the Town designates a spot (Sec. 18-9(1)), and Duncan makes it a misdemeanor to leave an obstruction that makes a street impassable (Sec. 34-27(e)). Tell us when you book and we line the delivery up with it.

Many Spartanburg mailing addresses — our own yard included — are in unincorporated Spartanburg County, where the City's street permit does not apply. The City's own test: if your property's millage group code on the County Assessor record includes the letter Z, the property is inside city limits. We will check it with you when you book.

Because several apply. Spartanburg County requires every private collector collecting or transporting refuse in the county to hold a county collector's license and to use the county landfill (County Code Sec. 66-3). The City of Spartanburg requires a business license from anyone doing business inside city limits (City Code Sec. 10-1), Lyman requires one to serve commercial locations (Sec. 16-20), and Duncan's Council approves applications to serve commercial customers. We are licensed in the places that require it. We quote the section on each page.

It can. Covenants can cover containers on your driveway, and we do not know your HOA's rules — check them before you book.

Ask for boards under the dumpster and the driver puts them down. Tell us before delivery if a surface needs more than that — and keep it off soft ground.

A flat, hard surface, room for the container — about 12 feet long for a 10 yard, about 22 feet for a 20 and up, and 8 feet wide — a straight run for the truck to back in, and clear space overhead. Power lines, tree branches, parked cars and bins are the usual problem.

Spartanburg, Boiling Springs, Duncan, Lyman, Wellford, Inman, Roebuck, Moore, Woodruff, Chesnee, Cowpens, Landrum, Pacolet and Reidville across Spartanburg County, and Greer on the county line — each with its own page. The complete Spartanburg guide pulls it together.

At 9091 Asheville Hwy, Spartanburg, SC 29316 — in unincorporated Spartanburg County, just outside city limits.

Mostly the timing. Greer and Woodruff are 20 to 23 road miles from the yard and more often next day than same-day. Price depends partly on the delivery location, and we say any difference up front.

Yes — Spartanburg County licenses private collectors, the City of Spartanburg, Lyman, Greer, Landrum and Pacolet require business licenses, and Duncan's Council approves commercial service. Greer's Greenville County side falls under Greenville County's disposal rules. The City of Spartanburg, Greer, Pacolet and Duncan have rules on what can sit in a street. Each town page says what that town's code says, and we tell you where your job stands when you call.
