Dumpster Rental Pricing: What It Costs (No Hidden Fees)
Dumpster pricing is where a lot of companies get sneaky — a low headline rate, then delivery fees, fuel surcharges, and weight-overage charges pile on at the end. DropSkip does it differently: one flat rate, everything included. Here's exactly what it costs, what's in the price, and what to watch for elsewhere.
The quick answer
DropSkip is flat-rate: the Skip Mini starts at $249 and the Skip Max at $269 — and that price already includes delivery, pickup, and disposal. No fuel surcharge, no surprise fees. Same-day specials start at $169.
What's included in a DropSkip rental
With a lot of companies, the price you see is just the starting point. With us, one flat rate covers the whole job:
- Delivery to your driveway
- Your rental period (1, 3, or 5 days)
- Pickup when you're done
- Disposal at the landfill
Our pricing
| Rental | Skip Mini (3-yd) | Skip Max (4-yd) |
|---|---|---|
| 1-day | $249 | $269 |
| 3-day (most popular) | $279 | $309 |
| 5-day | $299 | $329 |
| Same-day special | $169 | $189 |
Every price includes delivery, pickup, and disposal. The same-day special is delivered and picked up the same day — just book before noon. Need a fresh bin mid-project? A swap is a flat $69.99, any size, with disposal included and no new delivery fee.
The hidden fees to watch for (elsewhere)
When you're comparing quotes, the sticker price isn't the whole story. Here's what often gets added on with other companies — and where a flat rate saves you:
- Delivery & pickup fees tacked onto a “base” rental price
- Fuel surcharges
- Weight / tonnage overage — a per-ton fee if your load passes a weight allowance (common with big roll-offs)
- Daily extension fees that add up fast
- Dry-run or relocation fees if something isn't ready
Our flat rate is built to avoid all of that. Instead of charging you for weight, we size the bin to your material — heavy debris goes in the compact Skip Mini — so the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Which size — and how pricing follows
Both bins share the same driveway-friendly footprint, so you pick by material, and the price follows the size. Dense, heavy debris → the Skip Mini; light, bulky junk → the Skip Max. (Not sure? Here's why weight, not size, decides, and a full size comparison.)
