Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Garbage Service

Let’s face it, the amount of trash the average person produces has made regular garbage services imperative. Whether you’re in need of a dumpster rental, or just your weekly service, knowing the right questions to ask can ensure you find the perfect company to fit your needs.

What are your service areas?

Before you ask anything else, it’s good to ensure that they service your area. That way you don’t end up wasting your time, or theirs, asking all your other questions. You may need to provide your service address to make sure.

What kind of garbage containers do you offer?

It’s best to know what services your company offers, and if you are getting the best bang for your buck. What size receptacles do they offer? Type of dumpster rentals available? Any contracts or commitments? These are all things you should know before signing up with a company.

What is the price structure for your services?

When you’re contacting a disposal service, it’s best to know ALL the options to you can make an informed decision. Do they offer different payment plans (such as monthly, quarterly, or yearly)? Do they charge any late fees? How about fuel surcharges? ALWAYS be careful about hidden fees! Not all companies operate that way, but many do!

Do you offer any specialized services?

It’s best to find a company that can take care of ALL your needs, wouldn’t you agree?
Do they offer recycling services? How about accept yard waste? Or maybe you might need a temporary dumpster in the future. These are all important things to keep in mind before hiring a garbage service.
