Frequently Asked Questions

Rentals generally range from about $350 to $750 depending on the dumpster size, the type of debris, the delivery location, the rental length and the disposal weight, with no hidden fees. You get a flat rate up front that can cover delivery, pickup, disposal, the standard rental period and the included weight — about 1 to 2 tons on a 10 yard, 2 to 3 on a 15, 3 to 4 on a 20, 4 to 5 on a 30 and 5 to 6 on a 40. Going over can cost extra. The cost guide breaks it down.

Yes. Our flat-rate pricing, whenever possible, includes delivery, pickup, disposal up to the included weight and the standard rental period. No hidden fees, no surprise charges and no hidden fuel surcharges.

Two things: going over the included weight (the container is weighed after pickup and overage is charged on the excess tonnage) and keeping the container past the rental period (an additional daily or weekly fee). Prohibited materials found at disposal can also add fees. We explain all pricing and weight guidelines up front so there is nothing to find later.

Heavy debris such as concrete, dirt or brick may need special pricing or a separate container, and it uses up the included weight fast. So we size heavy loads differently — usually a 10 or 15 — and tell you where the weight line is before you load.

Major credit and debit cards. Payment is typically processed when your reservation is confirmed, to secure your delivery date and window. Where an independent provider handles the rental, billing may be handled by that provider, and we tell you on the call.

On private property such as your own driveway, permits are usually not required — in Mooresville we found no Town permit rule for a roll-off on private property. A street or sidewalk is different, and we found no Town dumpster permit. Town Code Sec. 20-71(a) says no obstruction of any kind may be placed in the streets, sidewalks or alleyways of the town, apart from building material placed with permission for immediate use, and (b) makes it unlawful to place any article on a street or sidewalk so as not to leave it clear; the civil penalty is $100 (Sec. 20-80). No encroachment is permitted on Town property or public easements except as the town manager or a designee approves (Sec. 20-9), and storing personal property on a public street, right-of-way or public parking lot is a public nuisance the Town may remove — a Class 3 misdemeanor with a fine of up to $500 (Sec. 23-107). For any street case, call Town of Mooresville Public Works at 704-663-7282 first. The permit guide and your town page cover the details.

In Mooresville, only if the Town approves — we found no Town dumpster permit, and the code bars street and sidewalk obstructions without approval. Even the Town's own Dial-A-Dumpster must be placed in the driveway, not in the yard or street. On NCDOT roads such as NC-115 (South Main Street), NC-150, NC-152 and NC-801, G.S. 136-93 requires a written NCDOT permit before any obstruction is placed, and we found no permit path for a temporary roll-off, so the container stays on the property. Elsewhere: Kannapolis needs a permit from the director of public works to obstruct a street or sidewalk during building operations (Sec. 15-3); Davidson makes any obstruction in or over its streets or sidewalks unlawful (Sec. 66-2); Concord bars obstructions in its streets, rights-of-way and sidewalks except as its code permits (Sec. 50-41); and Statesville has its police chief remove unauthorized street obstructions (Sec. 21-2(b)). Tell us when you book and we plan the placement around it.

Not always obvious. NC-115 (South Main Street) near our yard is NCDOT-maintained, while South Broad Street appears to be a Town street. State roads fall under G.S. 136-93 and NCDOT; Town streets under the Mooresville Town Code. The Town's street maintenance page has a road map for checking. If you are not sure, tell us the address and we will check which rules apply.

Because the rules differ by county. Inside Mooresville the Town does not provide dumpsters to residential or commercial users (Sec. 12-56) and we found no Town hauler franchise or licence. Statesville, Davidson, Troutman and Concord leave dumpsters and construction debris to private haulers. But unincorporated Catawba County — Sherrills Ford and Terrell — has an exclusive county solid waste franchise (County Code Sec. 32-3) whose agreement covers roll-offs, and Lincoln County — Denver — requires an annual collector permit and a franchise (Secs. 52.33, 52.34). In those places we check the county's rules before booking a container. We are licensed & insured.

It can. Covenants can cover containers on your driveway, and we do not know your HOA's rules — check them before you book.

We take precautions to help minimize the risk of damage during delivery and pickup, and protective boards can go under the container on request. Many customers also put plywood or wooden boards beneath the wheels, especially on decorative or newer driveways. Tell us before delivery if a surface needs more than that — and keep it off soft ground.

A flat, stable surface such as a driveway, gravel pad or paved area; room for the container — about 14 feet long for a 10 yard, 16 feet for a 15, and about 22 feet for a 20 and up, all about 7.5 feet wide; about 60 feet of access for the truck; and at least 25 feet of clear space overhead. Power lines, tree branches, carports, parked cars, trailers and equipment are the usual problems.

Mooresville, Mount Mourne, Statesville, Troutman, Stony Point, Harmony and Union Grove; Davidson, Cornelius and Huntersville; Sherrills Ford, Terrell and Catawba; Denver; and Kannapolis, Concord and Cleveland — each with its own page. The complete Mooresville guide pulls it together.

At 735 S Broad St, Mooresville, NC 28115 — inside Mooresville town limits, in Iredell County.

Mostly the timing. Union Grove, our furthest stop, is about 35 road miles from the yard, Harmony about 31 and Stony Point about 29. Price depends partly on the delivery location, and we say any difference up front.

Yes. Unincorporated Catawba County, which covers Sherrills Ford and Terrell, makes it unlawful to collect solid waste for pay outside the towns without the county's authority (County Code Sec. 32-3(l)), and its franchise agreement covers construction and demolition roll-offs. Lincoln County, which covers Denver, requires an annual county collector permit (Sec. 52.33) and both a franchise and a licence (Sec. 52.34(G)). In those places we check the county's rules before booking a container. Each town page says what that code says.
