Description of Work: Brought it on the day requested, late which was a pain as I left work early to make the original time and could have worked a whole day. |I called for pick up for the day scheduled and they didn't show. Guy told me he prob couldn't make it for 3 days due to backups then showed up on day 2 mid afternoon called me at work annoyed my husband's car was in the driveway and he couldn't get in. My husband was home, asleep, so he did wake up and move the car but dumpster guy was rude and not expected so....

I have used Affordable Dumpsters many times and will continue to use them in the future. The owner is a really nice guy in person, but he can come off a little gruff over the phone. Keep that in mind and you'll be happy with the service.

He was very good, reasonably priced and prompt. I actually referred him to a friend of mine as well. He was very good at getting back to me. When I needed the dumpster for a few more days, he was very flexible with that. Those were things that were part of the reason I recommended them to friends of mine. I would use him again for certain projects. He has some restrictions on what you can put in his dumpster and so with the vehicle that he uses.
Description of Work: I did use them.

Larry was punctual and professional in all of our dealings. He made sure I could open and close the gate on my own and gave some tips on stacking the material to be thrown out. Best of all, when my check embarrassingly bounced, he called the next day and was very understanding. I will recommend and use Affordable Dumpsters in the future.

We called about a dumpster and were quoted a price and informed as to what could not be placed in it. The dumpster was delivered the next day, we had it for a week, and it was picked up as scheduled. The man on the phone and the dumpster delivery man were both courteous. We will use this company again if we need dumpster service.

The whole process went smooth and seamlessly. I called spoke to the owner and described why I needed a dumpster. He recommended a size and stated the cost would be $250.00. I agreed and made arrangements to have the dumpster dropped off on Saturday, December 1, 2012 before 9 a.m. and picked up on Monday, December 3, 2012. The dumpster was delivered before 9 a.m. on 12/1 and picked up before 9 a.m on 12/03.

I contacted Affordable Dumpster for a bathroom rehab. I explained the size of the bathroom and what we were removing (including tile and concrete). Larry determined the size I needed. The dumpster was dropped off the next day (yay!) The driver then expressed concern that we were going to put concrete in the dumpster (what?) and the contract specifically said no concrete (first time this was mentioned). The driver blamed the office guy for the failure to communicate. Dumpster size was fine for the job, price was fine, the pick up was somewhat delayed. (I called to say we were done when it was really cold out, but pick up was delayed to the point where I was wondering if they were coming to get it. These guys are a bit rough around the edges but I didn't expect anything different.

Response from Affordable Dumpsters
We were late in picking the dumpster up because extreme winter temperatures came upon us when dumpster was scheduled for pickup. To avoid any equipment breakdowns we came 1 week later when temperatures became normal.

Things went well from start to finish, see description above.
Description of Work: We rented a dumpster to clear out our basement after damage from Hurricane Irene. Affordable Dumpsters was very responsive. The call went directly to someone's cell and when they were a little late with drop off, I was able to reach someone immediately. It was a busy time in the region so I understand the delay. I found them to be "affordable" by comparison to other companies we called. It was very easy to transact business and they picked up the dumpster at the pre-arranged time and I didn't need to be home for pick up which was convenient. I recommend them for use.

The man who answered the phone, was slightly 'rough around the edges' but incredibly helpful and insightful. Although our job was out of their scope, he was able to provide me with the in's and out's and what to look for in the vendor we needed. Couldn't use them this time, but if the opportunity does in the future will certainly use these guys.

He delivered the correct size the same day, which was the size I really needed, and picked it up the next week, as agreed upon. All went well.
Description of Work: I misjudged the size dumpster I needed for tearing down a shed and disposing of the actual shed and much of its contents. The man who dropped it off realized this and advised me to get the next larger size, which I really did need. He didn't seem upset about the change.

They responded to my call quickly, helped me figure out what size dumpster I needed, Delivered when they said they would and because i wasn't home at the time called to let me know it was there. They took the time to place wood under the dumpster so that it did not damage the driveway. I will definetly use them again.

Voicemail returned promptly, but by highly unprofessional male.
Description of Work: Called to inquire about a rolloff for a remodeling project, person that answered was very rude and suggested I should just call County Waste and pay their (higher) rate. Did not seem to understand reason for calling (not that complicated!). Quoted $350 for a 14 cu. ft. container for approximately 1 week.

Response from Affordable Dumpsters
I remember this call. Customer wanted a dumpster for household junk. Gave her a price and as I inquired more about the things she was disposing of the truth finally came out. She was gutting out a complete flat of plaster and lathe. Because that material is extremely heavy and we dump by weight I had to give her a higher price. Needless to say she was not very happy. I referred her to a large dumpster company in the area because I as a small business man cannot absorb losses.

We researched dumpster service providers and saw that Affordable Dumpsters had high marks. Larry quoted a price that couldn't be beat. He mentioned to let him know a day or two in advance, when we needed the dumpster. Larry made sure the dumpster would be on a secure spot on our driveway, and made sure that the door would swing open all the way, and not bang into the garage. We recommend Affordable Dumpsters to all and would use them in the future, if need be.

Great! I'd definitely use him again.
Description of Work: We called for estimates, and Larry's was lowers than most and he could come out the next day (the Saturday of a holiday weekend). He came, as promised, and was very nice to deal with. He informed us of what could and couldn't be disposed of and said that we could call when the dumpster could be picked up (otherwise, it would be five days...or seven. I can't remember). He seemed very accommodating. I called a few hours later to let him know it was filled and that he could pick it up as soon as possible. He came a few days later, owing to the holiday weekend, which was fine. He was in and out in a few minutes both times! He even swept off some debris from our driveway from the wood he had placed under the dumpster to protect the driveway.

Great. Larry arrived when promised. He has a setup that uses a pickup and a trailer instead of big rolloff truck, which I think helps keep the prices down. We paid the agreed price up front. When we were done, I called Larry to pick up and he came the next day. No additional charges (though I think there can be if you go over the weight allowed for the size dumpster you get).
Description of Work: Dumpster on site for about a week, filled with household junk and some construction debris.
