Frequently Asked Questions

For Norfolk and its neighborhoods, calling before early afternoon often gets you same-day delivery. Southside cities like Virginia Beach and Chesapeake are usually same-day or next-day, and Peninsula cities across the bridge-tunnel are typically next-day. Booking a day or two ahead gives you the most flexibility on delivery windows.

Your address, the type of project (cleanout, roofing tear-off, construction debris, yard waste, etc.), an estimate of volume, and where on your property the container will sit. That's usually enough for a flat quote over the phone.

Standard rental periods run about 7 to 10 days for most residential jobs, with extensions available if a project runs long. Tell us your timeline when you book so it's built into the quote instead of tacked on as a surprise fee later.

Yes, as long as you give us a reasonable heads-up. Call the yard directly and we'll move your slot if the schedule allows it — this comes up often with weather delays and military moving timelines.

No permit is needed if the container sits entirely on your own driveway or private property. If it needs to sit on the street or a public right-of-way, the City of Norfolk (or the relevant neighboring city) requires a permit, which we can help you understand before delivery day.

Tell us that when you book. Street placement generally requires a permit from the City of Norfolk or the applicable city, and there are often rules about reflective markers or lighting on the container overnight. We'll walk you through what your specific city requires.

Not if it's placed correctly. We use protective boards under the container's rails on asphalt, pavers, and aging concrete, and we ask about slope and surface condition before delivery so the truck operator knows what to expect.

Regularly. Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story are both minutes from our yard, and a large share of the households we serve are moving on a fixed government timeline rather than a flexible one.

As soon as you know your report date. PCS timelines are fixed by orders, not negotiable like a typical move, so booking your dumpster early — even a couple weeks out — protects your spot during the summer peak moving season when demand across the area spikes.

We deliver to off-base residential addresses throughout Norfolk and the surrounding service area, including neighborhoods near Naval Station Norfolk and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story such as Willoughby and Ocean View. Base housing access rules vary, so check with base housing before booking a delivery on-post.

Most PCS-timeline cleanouts of a house or townhome fall in the 15 to 20 yard range, but it depends on how much you're getting rid of versus shipping. Tell us your move timeline and roughly how much is staying behind, and we'll size it so you're not paying for space you don't use.
