2 Tons Included vs. 1 Ton Elsewhere
The weight allowance is the real difference between rental companies. A dumpster full of shingles, flooring, drywall or yard waste gets heavy fast. If a company includes 1 ton and you load 2, you pay for the extra ton on top of the rental. We include 2 tons, and we charge $25 less per week than the $375-plus most competitors quote.
