We always encourage all the clients and contractors to read our FAQs which are our terms and conditions. For any clarification please call us. Once we receive your order with price and terms and conditions agreed (verbally, SMS or electronically) including the exact address, the full name of the person in charge, cell number and email address (we email an invoice with a link to pay via ACH or card. (Card payment is chargeable %3%). Depending on the weight and the type of the waste disposed we take a full payment and deposit in advance together with the rental. If there would be any balance payable to the renter Pelican Trash pays back to the same card or through zelle account. If the weight would be bigger then the paid deposit the client/renter has to pay the remaining balance as part of the agreement. We also encourage and we would be pleased to have all the instructions, discussions agreements, orders in written, sms or by email to avoid any misunderstanding or miscommunications
The most common occurrence that would result in a trip fee would be accessibility issues with your rental and overfilling. Whether we are coming to place the roll-off on location or we are going to service your waste removal, we ask that the location where you have the dumpster placed is easily accessible. Keep in mind that our drivers are going to be backing in to the location on a flatbed or hooklift system trailer and are going to need a great deal of space to do so. Another instance that would result in a trip fee is if you schedule your waste removal and when our driver arrives you are either not finished with the dumpster or you have over-filled the unit. In either scenario the driver would leave and you would need to reschedule for a later date. Your account would also be assessed a trip fee. Overfilling the dumpster could damage the dumpster as well as the towing equipment. For peace of mind we always recommend to fill half way for sod, soil, dirt, sand, concrete, bricks, block works, concrete roofing tiles or any other heavy materials. Additional bin/s would be offered so we would take care of all your waste removal needs. We do not accept any bin/dumpster pushing, pooling or relocation and of course overfilling as that would damage our equipment and we would ask for the repair costs
There is an initial two-week rental period that is attached to each dumpster that you rent from us. This begins from the time the dumpster is delivered and not when you place the order. We believe in making sure you get your money’s worth with a roll-off rental. You can be sure that you are never going to be charged for the time when you don’t have the dumpster. If you need to extend the rental longer, that’s perfectly fine as well.
If not agreed or provided by the homeowner or their contractor we could place 2×6 wood under the wheels of the dumpster,. But for expensive driveways/grass areas as well as for big cleanout, roofing tiles removal, etc. we do recommend to the customer or their contractor to put down sheets of plywood to further protect their driveway. We advise to put a note or to send an sms/picture where is going to be the desired area where the dumpster would be placed and if the protection is required or not

If youʼre disposing of weekly debris at your business address, you may wish to rent a trash container for repeat commercial-use. Certain classifications of businesses may be subject to solid waste billable charges. We only charges for the actual tonnage costs incurred of what your business incurs. If your business falls into the ‘Solid Waste Billableʼ category call us to see about an all inclusive rate for your rental. Are you Disposing pressure treated wood and/or food trash? PT (Pressure treated wood) includes: fencing, wood siding, wood decking, boards, 2 x 4s, etc.). Food trash, like PT can only be disposed of at certain landfall. We charge a onetime extra fee for this - principally for the nails, additional travel, and for the condition of this landfill versus the other transfer station
Leaves, branches, palm fronds, tree trunks, and mulch, weeds, pond plants, shrubs, and sticks. What does not qualify as vegetative debris? Dirt, stones, rocks, or pavers do not qualify as “landscape waste”. we do not recommend to mix vegetation with other trash as some lndfills do not accept that or would charge more
The landfill workers manually separate these materials (in order to save room at the landfill). Then the local dump mulches the landscape debris and recycles it.
* Caution - all wood isnʼt created equal - sticks and PT mixed together = a mixed load. and are subject to “staff assisted” charges - $41/ton additional
Every single County consider and classify the trash differently please check with your counties regulations and prices. For example household debris is charged in Palm Beach County $42/tone while Construction debris is charged $80/tone. Depending on weight and type of debris we usually charge a deposit for dumping the waste. After disposal we provide the receipt which shows the exact weight and amount charged and the remaining balance is paid back to the client however if the amount is bigger than the deposit the client has to pay the remaining balance. That amount is paid to the county and we do not keep it for us
This depends on the job site or property layout. We recommend placing the trash container in your driveway or on the grass. We cannot place the roll off in the road, inside garages, in backyards, over sprinkler systems, water manes, unpaved driveways/dirt roads where our dumpster trucks may get stuck, or under overhanging utility lines and/or tree branches where the boom (lifts up) of our truck cannot extend (our trucks have a trailer that lifts approximately 30 feet into the air when lifting the dumpster).
The largest size dumpster we use for this is our 16 yard dumpster or 20 yard dumpster which is filled only 1/2 full. Our roll off trucks or trailers utilize hydraulic systems that can break down when they are overloaded. When you have a heavy load, please abide by our policies and inform us in advance so we can provide you additional bins, otherwise we may be unable to pick up your load (until some of the contents are emptied out by the renter). Please do not hide the very heavy items on the bottom of the bins or pour fresh concrete or paint into the bin directly as that would cause our equipment to break or damage incurring extra costs by the renter
Please notify our dispatch team when you call to reserve your rental about protecting your driveway or if you would prefer to do it yourself. At your request our team would instruct our driver to put wood down for you if you needed. In case you will not be on site we recommend you to leave a sign (to show the location where you would prefer to have our dumpster) and to find 4 pieces of timber or plywood before having our bin delivered (measuring 1” wide x 4ʼ Long). Please remember to leave extra space for the rear dumpster door to open if you would like to enter the dumpster with a wheelbarrow to throw heavy debris
If we cannot gain access your property or job site during pick up or drop off of the trash bin, we have wasted a trip. Situations where gate key codes are not conveyed to our dispatch team, the waste bin is blocked by vehicles/equipment, a job siteʼs gates are pad-locked, or if you need to reschedule your drop off or pick up date and fail to convey this to us - any of the above scenarios result in “wasted trips”. Travel fees will be added to compensate for lost time - “trip fee”. Please be courteous and communicate the aforementioned factors to us. This way we can
We are required by DOT (Department of Transportation) law to tarp all of our loads when we pick up your dumpster and transport it. If you fill the rolloff above the fill line (lip of dumpster/or yellow line) we cannot safely transport your debris. We will either charge a fee for the overfilling the dumpster or charge a wasted trip fee for our inability to safely transport the bin. Our loads must be covered (by law) in order to secure any debris from flying out. Otherwise, we could cause injury to others on the roads during transport.
Sometimes we can deliver you a container within an hour depending on the availability. To ensure delivery during the time frame and date that is deal for you, please allow 1-2 days lead time for both drop off and pick up of your rental. Booking too far out in advance may not be ideal, due to unforeseen circumstances, and weather, neither is - waiting until the last minute
We are conveniently open six days per week (Monday - Friday 7 Am - 730 Pm, and on Saturdays from 9 Am - 5 Pm). However we can get bookings orders out of hours and even weekends and holidays. Please send your details and needs by sms or email and we will come back to you asap
* Home owner tip -Schedule a late afternoon or evening delivery, since our contractors tend to reserve the morning delivery time slots. *
Email, call or text us if you need a second container or swap out (also known as a dumpster switch out, a turnaround or a dumpster return). Many times we can accommodate same or next day service with both switch outs and dump returns. Please remember that the billing cycle will start over again once your original rental has been dumped.
It is best to call us when you are finished with filling the dumpster. Please allow us 1-2 days lead time when picking up your roll off. If you finish with the bin early (before your rental term is over) and you want the roll off out of your way, please call us or send a text and schedule your pick up.
If you order more dumpsters and more often we could offer discounts. Some of our clients gets the best deal/s in the County and we will try to beat any local prices
The most efficient way to load the bin is to load everything evenly (dispersed the contents evenly). There are often air holes/pockets where there is empty space inside of dumpster. Moving the contents around within the rolloff can help you maximize what will fit into the bin. Stack the contents into the roll off like you would a Jenga puzzle (without overloading above the fill line). Remember only to load heavy contents - 1/2 full. The doors to our bins open (dumpsters with walk in option) - please ask our driver upon delivery to open the door to the dumpster for you.
C&D stands for construction and demolition debris - this is often referred to as contractor job site contents disposed of in a dumpster. Is there a rental agreement for me to review? Express offers a roll off rental agreement for our clients where all of our policies, hours, upcharges, dump fees, etc
Our insurance company emails all of this to the commercial customer.
Volume discounts are available on a case by case basis. They are offered after a contractor does a significant amount of business with us, and/or requires a bid on an agreed upon frequency of pulls, payment terms, etc.
