Rolloff/Debris Dumpster Site Requirements

If you choose to lock your dumpster, South Tahoe Refuse must have the current combination. We are not responsible for lost, broken, missing, or otherwise unusable locking devices. Please make sure they are in working order and your bin is accessible for garbage removal. Thank you!

 

 

Service Charges, Trip Charges and Extra Fees

All materials must be inside the dumpster. If material is hanging over the sides or above the top rim, it cannot be hauled and it will be subject to service charges

Delivery and Pick Up Access Requirements 

Larger dumpsters require more room with the largest (33 and 40-yard) requiring an area of approximately 10′ wide by 26′ long (room for the doors to open), with an additional 25′ (minimum) of open space in front of it for the delivery vehicle.
The area in front of the dumpster must be clear of all objects (vehicles, equipment, tools, excess debris, including snow) prior to delivery or pick up.

If your property access includes a bridge, please confirm width and weight Access Requirements below.

Roll off trucks are approximately 30 feet long, 10 feet wide (including mirrors, “auto tarper”, lights, etc.) and 12 feet high with a maximum gross weight of 48,000 pounds.

Access must be clear of low branches and wires and wide enough for a vehicle of this size with room to maneuver and deliver/pick up your dumpster. Tahoe Basin Container Service is not liable for damage due to inadequate access.

Clearly mark both above and underground hazards such as low wires, septic tanks and utility box covers.

Dumpsters (10 thru 40-yard including specialty dumpsters) may be loaded to a maximum gross weight of 20,000 pounds (10 tons).

If a dumpster is determined to be grossly overweight and cannot be safely moved, excess material must be removed by the customer. A second dumpster may be requested at the standard rates to handle this material.

If a dumpster is determined to be overweight when scaled, overweight fees will be applied.
