2. Pricing, Quotes, Acceptance, and Cancellation

2.1 Non-Binding Estimates

Any prices, quotes, or estimates displayed on the Service or provided through contact forms, phone, email, or SMS are preliminary and non-binding. Final pricing may depend on factors including, but not limited to:

Final specifications of materials, equipment, container size, or rental duration

Applicable taxes, fuel charges/surcharges, disposal fees, and environmental fees in effect at the time of service

2.3 Acceptance

A quote is officially accepted upon written confirmation by the Customer (including email, text message, or electronic signature) and, if required, payment of any stated deposit or prepayment.

2.4 Cancellation / Rescheduling

If the Customer cancels or reschedules services less than 48 hours before the scheduled delivery, pickup, or service date/time, the Customer may be subject to a cancellation or rescheduling fee, which may include up to 50% of the total quoted price or a reasonable fixed fee to cover dispatch, scheduling, and pre-mobilization costs.

3. Customer Responsibilities and Site Conditions

3.1 Site Access and Safety

The Customer is responsible for ensuring clear, safe, and unobstructed access to the delivery and pickup location, including adequate space for trucks and equipment. The Customer must ensure the drop area is suitable for the weight and size of the container and truck.

3.2 Placement Instructions

The Customer must provide clear placement instructions prior to delivery. If the Customer requests placement on a driveway, asphalt, concrete, or other surface, the Customer accepts the risk of normal wear and tear and incidental damage related to the weight and movement of the truck/container.

3.3 Utilities and Hidden Hazards

The Customer must clearly identify and notify the Contractor of any known or unknown hazards in the work area, including but not limited to:

Underground utilities, sprinkler lines, septic systems, drainage systems

Soft ground conditions, steep slopes, narrow access points, low branches, or overhead obstructions

Concrete, metal, or other hidden objects that may affect placement or pickup

The Contractor is not liable for damage to unmarked or improperly marked underground facilities or concealed hazards that were not reasonably known or disclosed.

3.4 Property in Work Zone

The Customer is responsible for relocating vehicles, personal property, and items in or near the work zone prior to arrival. The Contractor will exercise reasonable care but is not liable for incidental damage to items left within the work zone.

Batteries, propane tanks, fuel containers

Tires, appliances containing Freon, regulated e-waste

4.2 Weight Limits / Overweight Loads

Customers must adhere to weight limits stated in the quote, rental agreement, or work order. Overweight containers may be refused for transport and/or subject to additional fees.

4.3 Damage to Surfaces

Dumpsters and trucks are heavy. The Customer acknowledges that minor impacts such as tire marks, surface scuffs, cracking, settling, or impressions to pavement, asphalt, concrete, curbing, or landscaping may occur during normal delivery and removal. The Contractor is not responsible for such impacts unless caused by the Contractor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5. Unforeseen Conditions and Change Orders

5.1 Unforeseen Conditions

The Contractor is not responsible for unforeseen conditions that could not be reasonably discovered before service, including but not limited to unstable ground conditions, hidden obstructions, inadequate access, or disposal facility restrictions that change without notice.

5.2 Change Orders

If unforeseen conditions arise, or if the Customer requests additional work outside the original scope (including extended rental time, extra tonnage, additional trips, or special disposal handling), the Contractor will notify the Customer. Any additional costs, services, or time required will be handled via a written change order, updated quote, or revised invoice, which must be agreed to before additional work proceeds (unless immediate action is required for safety or compliance).
