Right Now

Just Had Damage? Do These Four Things First.

  1. 1

    Get everyone safe

    Fire or anyone hurt, call 911. Gas smell, downed lines or water near outlets, call PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 before anything else.

  2. 2

    Take photos before you move anything

    Wide shots and close-ups. Your insurance claim starts here.

  3. 3

    Call your insurance company

    Ask if they want an adjuster out before anything gets torn out.

  4. 4

    Call us now

    We'll get you on the schedule, and the dumpster can sit in the driveway until the adjuster clears the tear-out.

Text us a photo of the damage and we'll tell you what size you need. Text (669) 333-7855

Pro tip

Wet debris is heavy and you pay by weight. For soaked drywall and carpet, a 20 or 30 filled to the line usually beats a half-full 40. Not sure? Text us a photo.

Good to Know

What We Can't Take

No hazardous waste: paint, chemicals, batteries, propane tanks, tires or anything with asbestos. After a wildfire, ash and burned debris usually need testing and removal by a licensed debris contractor first.

Common Questions

Emergency Dumpster Questions

How fast can you get an emergency dumpster to me?

Call as early as you can and we'll give you a firm drop window on the phone.

Do you answer nights and weekends?

Yes. Call our 24/7 emergency line at (669) 333-7855 any time.

What does the dumpster cost?

It depends on the size and what's going in. We quote the haul rate and the per-ton rate on the phone before anything is booked.

Can you swap the dumpster while we're still working?

Yes. Call or text when it's full and we'll swap it out.

Do you take fire debris?

Only non-hazardous debris can go in. Homes built before 1978 can have lead or asbestos in the ash, so it may need testing first.

Where can the dumpster go?

Usually your driveway. If it has to go on the street, some cities need a permit. Tell us where you are and we'll let you know.
