Last updated: September 3, 2026 | Effective Date: September 3, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the dumpster rental services provided by Forged Dumpsters (“Forged,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), located at 5850 Rossi Lane, Gilroy, CA 95020. By placing an order with us through forgeddumpsters.com, by phone, or by signing or accepting any rental document, you (“Customer,” “you,” or “your”) agree to these Terms.
If you are placing an order on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business, and “Customer” means both you and that business.
Forged provides roll-off dumpster rental services for the temporary collection and lawful disposal of non-hazardous solid waste at the service address you provide. We will deliver a dumpster of the size you select, leave it on your property for the rental period, and pick it up and dispose of its contents in accordance with applicable law. The specific size, debris type, drop-off date, pickup date, service address, and pricing for each rental are reflected in the order confirmation email you receive at checkout (the “Order Confirmation”). Together, the Order Confirmation and these Terms make up the rental agreement between you and us (the “Agreement”).
“Equipment” means the dumpster and any related items we provide.
“Rental Period” means the days from the drop-off date through the pickup date shown in the Order Confirmation. Standard rentals include up to seven (7) civil days. Days beyond the seventh are billed at the daily overage rate in Article 10.
“Waste Materials” means non-hazardous solid waste lawfully placed in the Equipment by Customer.
“Prohibited Materials” means the items listed in Article 4 plus any item Forged identifies on its website or in writing as not accepted.
You may use the Equipment only for the temporary storage of Waste Materials at the service address shown in your Order Confirmation. You may not move, alter, or relocate the Equipment, and you may not use it for any unlawful purpose. You agree to keep the Equipment accessible for our drivers on the pickup date.
The Equipment remains our property at all times. While it is at your location you are responsible for it.
The materials below fall into two categories. Strictly Prohibited items may never be placed in the Equipment. Restricted items are accepted only with separate handling and the special-handling fees set out in Article 10:
If Prohibited Materials are placed in the Equipment, you remain the legal owner of those materials, and you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from all costs, fines, penalties, and damages we incur because of those materials, including special handling and disposal charges.
When you place an order online, the total shown on the review screen — including the base rental price, any size or debris-type adjustments, and the 2.8% card processing fee — is charged to your payment card at the moment you click “Place Order.” You will receive a payment receipt from Stripe (our payment processor) and a separate order confirmation email from us.
These Terms apply to standard retail orders placed through forgeddumpsters.com or by phone (collectively, “Retail Orders”). For Retail Orders, by placing an order you authorize Forged to store your payment card on file with Stripe as a saved payment method associated with your customer record. You authorize us to charge that stored card later, without re-entering your card number, for the following limited purposes only:
Customer understands that certain charges, including final disposal weight and overage fees, may not be known until the dumpster is returned and processed at the disposal facility.
Any weight exceeding the included allowance will be charged at the per ton rate shown on your order confirmation. Final weight is determined after the dumpster is picked up and processed at the disposal facility, and any tonnage or overage charges will be automatically charged to the payment method on file.
Forged Dumpsters will provide an invoice or receipt showing any additional charges. Customers have 7 calendar days from the date of the charge to contact Forged Dumpsters with questions or request a review. Requesting a review does not automatically result in a refund or reversal. If an error is found, Forged Dumpsters will make the appropriate adjustment.
For Retail Orders, this is not a subscription, recurring service, or auto-renewing arrangement. We do not charge your stored card on a schedule or for any purpose other than the two listed above. Because no automatic recurring charge is contemplated for Retail Orders, this arrangement is not subject to the disclosure or cancellation procedures of California’s Automatic Renewal Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17600–17606); however, you may revoke this card-on-file authorization at any time as described below.
Commercial / contractor accounts. Forged offers separate commercial and contractor account arrangements that may, by separate written agreement signed by both parties, include recurring service, scheduled deliveries, or pre-authorized recurring billing. Those arrangements are governed by their own written agreement, not by these Terms. Any such commercial agreement that includes auto-renewing or recurring billing will include the clear-and-conspicuous disclosure, affirmative-consent, acknowledgment, and easy-cancellation requirements of California’s Automatic Renewal Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17600–17606), and will identify those terms separately from the rest of the agreement. If you have not signed a separate commercial agreement with Forged, your relationship with us is governed entirely by these Retail Order Terms.
To remove your card from file, change to a different card, or revoke this authorization, contact us at:
Email: marketing@forgeddumpsters.com
Phone or text: (408) 825-4838
We will confirm the removal in writing within two business days. Removal does not affect (a) charges already in progress, (b) the order currently being delivered or picked up, or (c) your liability for outstanding amounts.
Your card number is never stored on Forged’s servers. It is tokenized and stored by Stripe under their PCI-DSS-compliant infrastructure.
If a charge to your card is reversed (chargeback) for a reason that is not our error, you remain liable for the underlying amount, plus reasonable costs we incur defending the dispute. Past-due amounts (after a chargeback or any other failed payment) accrue interest at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by California law.
The rental term begins on the drop-off date and ends on the pickup date you select at checkout, both shown on the Order Confirmation. Standard rentals include up to seven (7) civil days within that window. If the pickup date you selected is more than seven days after the drop-off date, the additional days are billed at the daily-overage rate in Article 10. Maximum rental length for a Retail Order is thirty (30) civil days; longer arrangements require a separate written agreement.
Retail rentals do not automatically renew. If you need the dumpster beyond your scheduled rental period, you must contact Forged Dumpsters at least 48 hours before your scheduled pickup and provide the number of additional rental days requested. If the dumpster is kept beyond the agreed rental period, additional daily rental fees will apply as outlined in Article 10 and will be automatically charged to the payment method on file.
If the required 48-hour notice is not provided and our driver arrives for the scheduled pickup but is unable to remove the dumpster because the Customer wishes to extend the rental or the dumpster is otherwise not ready or available for removal, a $350 Dry Run Fee will be automatically charged to the payment method on file.
A Retail Order does not create a recurring service. Recurring or scheduled service is available only through a separate signed commercial or contractor agreement (see Article 5.2).
While the Equipment is at your service address, you have care, custody, and control of it. You agree:
You are responsible for loss of or damage to the Equipment beyond ordinary wear and tear, except where the loss or damage results from our handling or our gross negligence.
You warrant that the surface where the Equipment is placed (driveway, street, lot) and any approach we use is sufficient to bear the weight of a fully loaded dumpster and our delivery truck, and that overhead clearances are adequate. We are not responsible for damage to driveways, curbs, paving, irrigation, landscaping, fences, signage, overhead wires, or other property caused by the weight, height, or normal placement of the Equipment, except where caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.
If you ask us to place the Equipment in a location where you have concerns about damage, you may request that we place a board or pad under the dumpster legs. The pad does not eliminate risk and does not change the allocation of responsibility above.
You further warrant that you have the legal right and authority to permit placement of the Equipment at the service address — as owner, lessee with landlord consent, or in compliance with any homeowners association, condominium, or similar governing-document requirement. If a third party (including a landlord, HOA, or municipality) objects to or requires removal of the Equipment, you remain liable for the full rental and any expedited-pickup, Dry Run, or Emergency Swap fees in Article 10.
Customer-Directed Placement; Assumption of Risk. Where you direct or approve a placement location — including by giving on-site direction to our driver, by providing written or texted instructions, or by leaving the property accessible without an alternative location identified — you specifically assume the risk of, and release Forged from, ordinary surface damage to driveways, curbs, paving, irrigation, sprinkler heads, landscaping, fences, signage, and overhead wires that follows from that directed placement. This assumption of risk does not apply to damage caused by Forged’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or to any liability that California law makes non-waivable.
If your municipality requires a permit, license, or other approval to place a dumpster on a street, sidewalk, or other public right of way, you are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining that permit. We do not pull permits on your behalf. If a city, county, or HOA requires the Equipment to be removed, you remain liable for the rental, and any expedited pickup is subject to a Dry Run or Emergency Swap fee per Article 10.
The following fees may apply in addition to the base rental price. Where a range is shown, the specific amount charged will reflect the actual cost incurred and will be itemized on your invoice or receipt.

Ranges reflect the actual cost we incur, which can vary by item, weight, and disposal-facility surcharge. On Customer’s written request, Forged will provide reasonable substantiation (such as a disposal-facility ticket, weight slip, or vendor invoice) for any charge imposed at the upper end of a stated range.
Right to Refuse or Sort. Forged reserves the right, in its reasonable judgment and on safety, environmental, weight, or compliance grounds, to (a) refuse delivery, (b) refuse to pick up a load that contains Strictly Prohibited materials or is overloaded or unsafe, (c) require Customer to sort, off-load, or remove non-conforming items at Customer’s expense before pickup, or (d) charge the Prohibited-Materials handling, Dry Run, or Emergency Swap fees set forth above. Forged will document the basis for any refusal in writing on request.
Late-payment interest as cost of money. Any interest charged under Article 5.5 is a charge for the use of money on past-due amounts, not a penalty or liquidated damage, and is not intended to compensate Forged for any breach of this Agreement.
You may cancel a rental that has not yet dispatched at no charge by emailing marketing@forgeddumpsters.com or calling (408) 825-4838. Once the dumpster has been loaded onto a truck for delivery, the order is considered dispatched and the cancellation fee in Article 10 applies. If you cancel after we have already attempted delivery, the Dry Run fee in Article 10 applies in lieu of the cancellation fee. Refunds are issued back to the original payment method within 5–7 business days.
Nothing in these Terms waives any non-waivable right you have under California law, including the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.), the Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200), the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act to the extent applicable, or the Automatic Renewal Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17600–17606). To the extent any provision of these Terms conflicts with a non-waivable consumer right, that provision is unenforceable and the consumer right controls.
Retail Orders placed through forgeddumpsters.com or by phone are not subscription or auto-renewing services. The card-on-file authorization in Article 5 covers only specific identified charges (overages and customer-initiated repeat orders) and is not an auto-renewing subscription as defined by Bus. & Prof. Code § 17601. Commercial and contractor accounts on a separate written agreement may include recurring service; any such agreement will independently comply with the Automatic Renewal Law (Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17600–17606), including its clear-and-conspicuous disclosure, affirmative-consent, acknowledgment, and online-cancellation requirements.
(a) Transactional / order-related SMS. If you provide a mobile phone number when placing an order, you consent to receive SMS messages from Forged or our agents (including via Quo, our messaging vendor) related to your order — for example, delivery and pickup confirmations, day-of arrival alerts, prohibited-item notices, and overage notifications. Standard message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of order-related SMS at any time by replying STOP, calling (408) 825-4838, or emailing marketing@forgeddumpsters.com. Opting out may delay or prevent us from giving you required notices.
(b) Marketing SMS. Forged will not send you marketing or promotional text messages unless you separately opt in by checking a marketing-SMS box at checkout, by replying with an affirmative keyword such as “JOIN” to one of our messages, or through another clear and conspicuous opt-in. Consent to marketing messages is not required as a condition of any purchase or service. Standard message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. We comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, FCC rules, and applicable CTIA short-code and 10DLC guidelines.
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, including the rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, and limit use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell your personal information.
To the fullest extent permitted by California law, our total liability arising out of or related to this Agreement, your use of the Equipment, or our services shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the order at issue. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, lost profits, or property damage caused by ordinary placement of the Equipment.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under California law, including liability for: (a) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (b) willful injury to a person or property of another; (c) violation of law, whether willful or negligent (Cal. Civ. Code § 1668); (d) gross negligence; or (e) any other liability that California law makes non-waivable.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Forged Dumpsters and its owners, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim, damage, fine, penalty, lien, or attorney’s fee arising out of or related to: (a) your placement of Prohibited Materials in the Equipment; (b) your failure to obtain a required permit; (c) personal injury or property damage caused by your use, loading, or possession of the Equipment, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct; (d) damage to streets or driveways caused by the weight or placement of the Equipment, except where placement was directed in writing by us; or (e) your breach of these Terms.
Construction-indemnity savings clause. Nothing in this Article 14 requires Customer to indemnify Forged for any liability that California law makes non-indemnifiable, including liability arising from Forged’s active negligence, sole negligence, or willful misconduct on a construction project to the extent prohibited by California Civil Code §§ 2782, 2782.05, or any other non-waivable indemnity statute. Any provision of this Article 14 that would otherwise be void under those sections is, to that extent, unenforceable.
Title to Waste Materials. Title to and risk of loss in lawful, non-Prohibited Waste Materials passes from Customer to Forged at the moment the Equipment is lifted onto our truck for pickup. Title to Prohibited Materials never passes to Forged; Customer retains ownership of, and full responsibility for, any Prohibited Materials placed in the Equipment, including for purposes of CERCLA, RCRA, the California Hazardous Substance Account Act (Health & Safety Code § 25300 et seq.), and any analogous federal, state, or local law.
Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, the Equipment is provided “AS IS.” We disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, except where such disclaimer is prohibited by California law (for example, non-waivable warranties under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act if and to the extent it applies).
Neither party is responsible for delays or failures (other than payment) caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including weather, fires, road closures, strikes, accidents, government orders, disposal-facility shutdowns, and similar contingencies. The party affected will resume performance as soon as reasonably practical.
You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of our assets.
Notices to Customer will be sent to the email address you provided at checkout. Notices to Forged should be sent to:

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
Any action to enforce or interpret these Terms shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and each party submits to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. This venue selection does not waive any right to a jury trial; the right to a jury trial is governed by California law and the California Constitution. To the extent a party may waive a jury trial after a dispute arises through the methods specified by California Code of Civil Procedure § 631, this Agreement does not impose any pre-dispute waiver of that right.
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the parties’ intent.
These Terms and the Order Confirmation make up the entire agreement between you and Forged about your rental, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements. We may update these Terms from time to time; the version in effect when you place an order applies to that order. Changes do not apply retroactively to orders already placed.
Forged maintains commercial general liability and commercial automobile liability insurance in amounts consistent with industry custom for licensed roll-off haulers operating in California. A certificate of insurance is available on request at marketing@forgeddumpsters.com. Forged’s insurance is the property of Forged and is not for the benefit of Customer; Customer is responsible for its own insurance, including any coverage Customer’s homeowner’s, renter’s, contractor’s general liability, or builder’s risk policy may afford for losses connected with placement, loading, use, or possession of the Equipment.
Customer is responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws applicable to the generation and source separation of Customer’s waste, including California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutants / organic-waste-diversion law (SB 1383, Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 42652–42652.5), construction-and-demolition diversion ordinances, and any local recycling, organics, or hazardous-waste source-separation requirements. Forged is not responsible for Customer’s failure to source-separate, and Customer’s indemnification obligations in Article 14 extend to fines or penalties imposed on Forged because of Customer’s non-compliance.
Any individual placing an order on behalf of a business represents that they have authority to bind that business and is jointly and severally liable with the business for all amounts owed to Forged in connection with the order until those amounts are paid in full. This Article 25 is not intended to extend personal liability beyond what California law would otherwise impose; it is a contractual surety covering payment only, and does not convert a properly formed limited liability entity into the personal obligation of its members or officers for tort liability.
26.1 Survival. Articles 4 (Prohibited Materials), 5.5 (Disputes and Late Payment), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Indemnification, including the Construction-Indemnity Savings Clause and Title to Waste Materials), 15 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 19 (Governing Law), 20 (Venue), 21 (Severability), 24 (Recycling Compliance), 25 (Joint and Several Liability), this Article 26, and any payment obligations accrued before termination, survive completion or termination of any rental.
26.2 Pre-suit notice. Before filing any lawsuit arising out of or related to this Agreement, the claimant party will provide the other party with written notice of the dispute (including the nature of the claim and the relief sought) and a 30-day opportunity to cure or resolve. This notice requirement does not bar a party from seeking provisional or injunctive relief where reasonably necessary to prevent imminent and irreparable harm, and does not toll, shorten, or extend any statutory limitations period or any non-waivable consumer right.
26.3 Limitations period. Except for claims under any non-waivable California consumer-protection statute, any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after the claim accrued, or it is permanently barred. This contractual limitations period does not apply to any claim where a one-year period would be unreasonable or unenforceable under California law (see, e.g., Moreno v. Sanchez (2003) 106 Cal.App.4th 1415).
26.4 Attorney’s fees. In any action to enforce or interpret this Agreement, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, in addition to any other relief awarded. This provision is mutual and is intended to be enforced as a reciprocal fee provision under Cal. Civ. Code § 1717.
27.1 Counterparts; electronic signature. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which is an original, and may be accepted by clickwrap, electronic signature, email confirmation, or text reply. The parties agree that an electronic record or electronic signature has the same legal effect as a paper record or handwritten signature under the California Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1633.1 et seq.) and the federal E-SIGN Act.
27.2 Headings; construction. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect the construction of this Agreement. The words “include,” “including,” and similar terms are not words of limitation. The rule that ambiguities are construed against the drafter shall not apply.
27.3 No third-party beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the exclusive benefit of Forged and Customer and creates no rights in any third party.
27.4 No waiver. A party’s failure to enforce any right under this Agreement is not a waiver of that right or of any other right. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party to be effective.
27.5 Equitable relief. The parties acknowledge that breach of Articles 3, 4, 7, or 14 may cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy, and either party may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity, without the necessity of posting bond beyond any minimum required by California law.
By placing an order on forgeddumpsters.com you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to these Terms, including the card-on-file authorization in Article 5 and the SMS consent in Article 12.3.
