Service Areas https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-areas-outside-philly What size roll-off dumpsters do you offer? We carry 10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard roll-off containers. Smaller sizes suit cleanouts and tight sites; 30 and 40 yard boxes handle construction debris and high-volume commercial work. Read our roll-off size guide for details. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-sizes How quickly can you deliver a dumpster? Delivery depends on size, location, and current schedule, but our dispatch runs 24/7. Call early in the day for the best chance at same-day or next-day placement. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-delivery-speed What can I put in a roll-off container? General construction debris, wood, drywall, cardboard, furniture, roofing tear-off, and most non-hazardous commercial waste are fine. Hazardous materials, liquids, tires, and certain electronics are restricted — ask before you load. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-allowed What can't go in the dumpster? Keep out hazardous waste, paint, solvents, oils, batteries, tires, appliances with refrigerants, and medical or chemical waste. We can point you to proper disposal options. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-prohibited What is a container swap or dump and return? When your roll-off fills up, we haul it to be emptied and return it to the same spot so work continues without interruption. Call dispatch when you are ready for a swap. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-swap Do I need a permit for a dumpster on the street? Private property placement usually needs no permit. If the box must sit on a public street or sidewalk, your municipality may require one. We advise on local requirements before delivery. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-permit How much space is needed for roll-off delivery? Plan for roughly 60 feet of straight clearance, adequate overhead clearance, and a level surface. Tell us about gates, low wires, or tight alleys and we will confirm fit. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-clearance Is there a weight limit on roll-off loads? Yes. Each container size has a practical weight limit based on material density. Heavy loads like concrete, dirt, or roofing may require a smaller box or multiple swaps — we quote accordingly. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-weight Can I rent multiple roll-offs on one jobsite? Yes. Active construction and demolition sites often run two or more boxes for separated material streams. We coordinate placement and swap timing with your superintendent. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-multiple How long can I keep a roll-off on site? Standard rental periods vary by project type and location. Extensions are available — call dispatch before your included days expire to avoid unnecessary pull fees. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-rental-period Can you handle construction and demolition debris? Yes. Roll-offs and open-top boxes are built for C&D material, demolition waste, and jobsite cleanups. We swap containers as your project progresses. Roll-Off Dumpsters https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-rolloff-cd Do you handle commercial waste collection on a recurring schedule? Yes. We set up front-load and rear-load collection on schedules that fit your business — from a few pickups a week to daily service. Container size and frequency are matched to your waste stream. Commercial Collection https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-commercial-recurring What is the difference between front-load and rear-load service? Front-load (FEL) containers are emptied from the front of the truck and suit most storefronts and pad sites. Rear-load (REL) containers work well in alleys and tighter access points. We recommend the best fit for your layout. Commercial Collection https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-commercial-front-rear What commercial container sizes are available? Common front-load sizes include 2, 4, 6, and 8 cubic yards. Larger open-top and roll-off boxes handle bulk cleanouts. We size containers so you are not over- or under-serviced. Commercial Collection https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-commercial-container-sizes Do you offer after-hours or overnight pickup? Our dispatch operates 24 hours, making us a strong fit for restaurants, warehouses, and facilities that need night-time service. Share your access window and we schedule around your operation.

We supply the right container and hauling support to clear the space efficiently.

Retail, warehouse, and restaurant accounts can set up loose cardboard pickup paired with trash service at a lower incremental cost than hauling it as waste. Recycling https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-recycling-loose Do you offer commingled recycling? We help businesses set up commingled streams where routing allows. Call with your material mix and volume for program options. Recycling https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-recycling-commingled Can restaurants recycle grease and cardboard together? Cardboard and packaging recycling is common for restaurants. Grease and food waste require separate handling — we guide you on what can be combined on your route. Recycling https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-recycling-restaurant How is commercial waste pricing determined? Pricing depends on container size, service frequency, material type, weight, and location. We provide clear, no-obligation quotes up front. Call +1 215-744-1700 or request a quote online.

Overweight loads, extended rental, prohibited materials, or special access can add charges — we explain these before service starts. Pricing & Billing https://metrowastewm.com/faq.html#faq-pricing-no-hidden Do you provide waste compactors? Yes — self-contained and stationary compactors for high or wet waste volume.
