Frequently Asked Questions

In many cases rentals range from approximately $350 to $750 depending on the project, with no hidden fees. The price depends on the size, the type and weight of the debris, how long you keep it and the delivery location. You get a flat rate on the phone that typically covers delivery, pickup, disposal, the standard 7-day rental and the included weight — about 1 to 2 tons on a 10 yard, 2 to 3 on a 15, 3 to 4 on a 20, 4 to 5 on a 30 and 5 to 6 on a 40. Going over costs extra. The cost guide breaks it down.

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

Three things: going over the included weight (extra disposal fees can apply based on the landfill's weight charges), keeping the container past the rental period (an additional daily or weekly fee), and material that has to be removed before pickup — an overfilled box or a banned item. We explain it all on the first call so there is nothing to find later.

Heavy debris such as concrete, dirt or brick may need a separate container or different pricing, and it uses up the included weight fast. So we size heavy loads differently — usually a 10 or 15 — and tell you where the weight line is before you load.

Most major credit and debit cards. Payment is generally collected when your booking is confirmed, to reserve the delivery. Where an independent provider handles the rental, billing may be handled by that provider, and we tell you on the call.

On your own driveway or private property in Jacksonville, we found no City permit rule for a roll-off. In a City street, sidewalk or right-of-way, yes: Ordinance Code Sec. 744.110 makes it unlawful to block, obstruct or place any material on or in a City road, right-of-way or easement without a permit from the Director of Public Works. The Right-of-Way permit is $127 for a residential job or $191 commercial, the fee doubles if the work starts before the permit is issued, applications go through JaxEPICS, and an approved Maintenance of Traffic plan is needed for anything that affects traffic or pedestrians. Working without one can mean a fine of up to $250, each day a separate offense, and the Sheriff may remove an unlawful obstruction from a street (Sec. 746.102). The permit guide and your town page cover the details.

On a City of Jacksonville street, with the Right-of-Way permit — the Development Services Review Group handles it, (904) 255-8310. On a state road, no: the right-of-way belongs to FDOT, whose rules cap waste receptacles on a state road at 110 gallons and four feet (Rule 14-20.008) and exclude them from its general use permit (Rule 14-20.010), so there is no permit path for a roll-off. Elsewhere: Atlantic Beach needs the public works director's written consent and never allows a roll-off on a paved road overnight (Sec. 16-8(d)(5)); Jacksonville Beach and Neptune Beach require a right-of-way permit (Sec. 28-20; Sec. 18-4); Green Cove Springs keeps containers on private property unless the city manager authorizes otherwise (Sec. 66-11); and Clay, St. Johns and Nassau counties each require a county right-of-way permit for anything placed in a county road. Tell us when you book and we line the delivery up with it.

Very likely, if it is in Duval County — the City and the county are one consolidated government, and our own yard is inside it. The exceptions are Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and the Town of Baldwin, which keep their own codes and run their own garbage collection rules (Jacksonville Ord. Code Sec. 380.604(c)). Their town pages cover them.

Because several apply. Jacksonville requires a City franchise for nonresidential (commercial) container service but exempts construction and demolition debris (Ord. Code Secs. 380.603 and 380.604). Clay County requires a county franchise to haul roll-offs in the unincorporated county (App. D, Art. III, Sec. III.9), St. Johns County a county franchise to collect or transport solid waste, C&D included (Ord. 2017-39, Sec. 4), and Nassau County a county hauler permit (Sec. 30½-76). Orange Park, Fernandina Beach, Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville Beach keep collection to their franchisee or the city, with specific exceptions. We quote the section on each page, and for those four cities we check the City's rules before booking a container inside city limits. We are licensed and insured.

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

We take precautions during placement and pickup, and protective boards can go under the container on request. Tell us before delivery if a surface needs more than that — and keep it off soft ground.

A flat, stable surface, room for the container — about 14 feet long for a 10 yard, 16 feet for a 15, and about 22 feet for a 20 and up, all about 7.5 feet wide — room for the truck to back in, and clear space overhead. Low wires, tree branches, parked cars, trailers and equipment are the usual problems.

Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Baldwin in Duval County; Orange Park, Fleming Island, Middleburg and Green Cove Springs in Clay; Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, Fruit Cove and St. Johns in St. Johns County; and Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Yulee and Callahan in Nassau — each with its own page. The complete Jacksonville guide pulls it together.

At 678 Edgewood Ave N, Jacksonville, FL 32254 — inside the City of Jacksonville, on the west side of town.

Mostly the timing. Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island are about 38 to 39 road miles from the yard and more likely next day than same-day. Price depends partly on the delivery location, and we say any difference up front.

Yes. Orange Park lets only its franchisee or a town-licensed construction cleanup contractor collect (Sec. 28-26); Fernandina Beach reserves collection to the city or a contractor the City Commission approves (Sec. 66-36); Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville Beach grant exclusive garbage franchises with a carve-out for services the contract does not cover; Green Cove Springs franchises C&D roll-off service (Sec. 66-11); and Clay, St. Johns and Nassau counties each require a county franchise or permit in the unincorporated county. For Orange Park, Fernandina Beach, Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville Beach we check the City's rules before booking a container inside city limits. Each town page says what that code says.
