What are you putting in the dumpster?
Choose the material category that matches your load when you request a quote. The category helps us plan safe handling and does not change the base rental price. Some items need confirmation before they can be loaded.
Current quote categories
- Concrete / Brick — Heavy material (overage likely).
- Construction Debris — Drywall, lumber, mixed jobsite debris.
- Household Junk — General cleanouts, furniture, misc.
A category is a starting point, not approval for every item in a mixed load. Describe anything unusual or heavy before booking.
A quick loading decision guide
| Your load | Before loading |
|---|---|
| Cleanout or mixed jobsite debris | Choose the current quote category and describe unusual items. A category does not approve every item in the load. |
| Brick or concrete | Confirm the load first. Every part of the material must remain below the red fill line inside the dumpster. |
| Roofing, soil or other dense material | Confirm the amount and loading instructions. Weight can reach the allowance before volume is full. |
| Special-disposal or uncertain items | Ask NorthStar before putting them in the container. Acceptance and separate handling need confirmation. |
Ask before loading special items
Contact NorthStar before loading liquids, chemicals, paint, batteries, tires, appliances, electronics, asbestos-containing material, or anything you believe may require special disposal. Tell us exactly what the item is so we can confirm whether it is accepted and whether separate handling is needed.
For concrete, brick, roofing debris, soil, or other dense loads, confirm the material category, amount, and loading instructions before delivery. For brick and concrete, the red line inside the dumpster is the absolute maximum height. Keep every part of the load below it; do not fill to the top.
Weight allowance and loading
The rental plans include 3 tons, equal to 6,000 lb. Extra weight is charged under the rate in your quote. A larger dumpster provides more volume, not a larger included weight allowance.
Keep all material inside the dumpster and below the container sides. Leave the pickup approach clear. If you are unsure about the amount, an item, or a loading limit, ask before adding it so pickup can be planned correctly.
