Frequently Asked Questions

Real, current market data for the Gainesville area puts most roll-off rentals somewhere between roughly $225 and $925, depending on size, weight and distance — that's a general range, not a quote. Your actual price depends on container size, how much weight you'll load, and where the delivery address falls in our service area.

The three biggest factors are container size, total weight loaded into it, and how far the delivery address is from our University Ave yard. Rental length and the type of debris (heavier materials like concrete or shingles vs. mixed household junk) can also matter.

Many Gainesville-area deliveries can be scheduled same-day or next-day, especially closer to the University Ave yard. Outer towns like Starke, Trenton, Bronson and Williston, and busy stretches like UF move-out weeks, are easier to schedule with a day or two of notice.

Often, yes, for addresses in and around Gainesville, Alachua and Newberry, depending on our route schedule that day. For the outer towns toward the county lines, next-day delivery is more typical.

Our standard rental window covers most residential and contractor projects, and our dispatch team can work out an extension if your job runs long — just let us know before the scheduled pickup date.

If the container sits entirely on your own driveway or private property, most Alachua County and city jurisdictions don't require a permit. If it needs to sit in the street or right-of-way — common on narrow in-town lots — a local permit is usually required.

Permit rules vary by city and by county, so our dispatch team can tell you whether your specific address needs one and point you to the right local office. Requirements differ between Gainesville proper and the smaller towns in our service area.

Yes. Smaller towns like Micanopy, Archer, Hawthorne and Windsor tend to have simpler, more informal placement rules than the city of Gainesville, but street or right-of-way placement can still trigger a local permit requirement.

For most residential and small commercial jobs, no survey is needed if placement stays on the property itself. Larger new-construction sites sometimes have site-specific access plans your contractor can share with our dispatch team ahead of delivery.

Common prohibited items include tires, batteries, paint and other liquids, chemicals, propane tanks, refrigerants (like refrigerators and AC units without prior arrangement), and hazardous waste. Our dispatch team can confirm specifics for your load.

Yes, general yard waste and storm debris like downed limbs and branches can typically go in the same container, though very large tree sections may need to be cut down first to fit and load safely.

In most cases yes, as long as nothing on the prohibited list is included. Heavier materials like concrete, brick or shingles count toward the container's weight limit faster than household items, so it's worth mentioning to our dispatch team if your load is mostly heavy debris.

Prohibited items found during pickup or disposal can result in an added removal or disposal fee. If you're unsure about an item, it's faster to ask our dispatch team before it goes in the container.
