Terms of Service

1. Rental Period

The standard rental period is 4 days unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

The rental period begins on the date of delivery and continues until the dumpster is picked up by Owner.

Additional rental charges may apply if the dumpster remains beyond the agreed rental period.

2. Rental Fee and Payment

Renter agrees to pay the rental fee quoted at the time of booking together with all applicable disposal fees, additional rental charges, damage charges, dry-run fees, overweight charges, prohibited-material charges, or other amounts due under this Agreement.

Payment for the rental is due before delivery unless otherwise agreed to by Owner.

Disposal fees are billed separately at the actual disposal facility cost based on material type and load weight. PDX Dumpster does not mark up disposal fees.

Renter agrees to maintain a valid payment method on file when required for final disposal charges or other amounts due after pickup.

3. Delivery and Placement

Dumpsters will be placed only at locations approved by Owner. Renter is responsible for providing a placement location that is reasonably accessible, stable, level and capable of supporting the dumpster and delivery equipment.

Suitable surfaces may include concrete, asphalt, compacted gravel, or another surface approved by Owner.

Owner may use protection boards or other reasonable precautions when appropriate to help reduce the risk of surface damage. These precautions do not guarantee that damage will not occur.

Owner reserves the right to refuse delivery or placement at any location considered unsafe, inaccessible or unsuitable.

If an alternate placement location, return trip or additional service is required because the original placement area is unavailable or unsuitable, additional charges may apply.

4. Property Damage and Liability

Renter acknowledges that delivery, placement, use and removal of a dumpster may create risk of damage to driveways, pavement, curbs, sidewalks, lawns, landscaping, underground utilities, structures or other property.

Renter assumes responsibility for selecting and authorizing the placement location.

To the extent permitted by law, Owner is not responsible for damage caused by the weight of the dumpster, loaded materials, surface conditions, hidden defects, insufficient pavement strength, underground conditions or placement requested or approved by Renter.

5. Maximum Loaded Weight

No dumpster may exceed a total loaded waste weight of 3 tons (6,000 lbs).

This maximum applies to all dumpster sizes, including the 7-yard heavy-material dumpster.

Renter is responsible for material loaded into the dumpster and must not load materials in a manner that causes the dumpster to exceed safe or legal hauling limits.

Owner may refuse to move an overloaded dumpster until material is removed or the load is otherwise made safe for transport. Additional charges may apply.

6. Damage to Dumpster or Theft

Renter is responsible for loss of or damage to the dumpster occurring during the rental period, except for ordinary wear resulting from proper use.

Damage may include punctures, burns, unauthorized modifications, structural damage, misuse, impact damage or other damage caused while the dumpster is under Renter's control.

If the dumpster is returned damaged, Renter agrees to pay the applicable repair or replacement cost, with a minimum damage charge of $250.

If the dumpster is stolen or damaged beyond practical repair, Renter agrees to pay a replacement charge of $7,000.

7. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Materials

Renter may place only materials approved by Owner into the dumpster.

Prohibited materials include, but are not limited to:

• Batteries
• Oil-based, aerosol or liquid paint
• Fuel, gasoline, diesel, oil or other petroleum products
• Household or industrial chemicals
• Medical waste
• Asbestos-containing material
• Propane cylinders or other pressurized tanks
• Tires unless specifically approved
• Refrigerators or freezers unless specifically approved
• Railroad ties unless specifically approved
• Hazardous, toxic, flammable, explosive or regulated materials

If Renter is unsure whether a material is permitted, Renter must contact Owner before loading it into the dumpster.

8. Heavy Materials

Concrete, dirt, brick, gravel, rock, pavers, asphalt, tile, sod and other dense materials must be approved by Owner before loading.

Heavy materials generally require the 7-yard heavy-material dumpster because dense materials reach hauling weight limits much faster than ordinary household or renovation debris.

Heavy-material loads remain subject to the 3-ton / 6,000-lb maximum loaded weight.

9. Building Materials and Asbestos

Certain construction and demolition materials may require asbestos testing or other documentation before they can be accepted by a disposal or transfer facility.

Renter is responsible for identifying the age, source and type of building material and for obtaining any testing or documentation required by the receiving facility or applicable law.

Materials that may require asbestos documentation can include, depending on the project and facility requirements:

• Wall and ceiling materials
• Plaster and textured surfaces
• Vinyl flooring and certain adhesives
• Stucco and cement siding
• Insulation and fireproofing materials
• HVAC or duct materials
• Roofing materials
• Gaskets, mastics, caulks and glazing compounds
• Other regulated construction materials

If required documentation is not provided, Owner may refuse pickup, refuse disposal, return the load, or charge Renter for additional handling, transportation, testing, storage or disposal costs.

Disposal costs for improperly documented or regulated material can be substantial and are the responsibility of Renter.

10. Loading Requirements

Materials must remain within the physical boundaries of the dumpster.

Renter may not load material above the top edge of the dumpster or in a manner that prevents the load from being safely transported.

Owner may refuse pickup of an overloaded, overfilled, unsafe, leaking or improperly loaded dumpster until the condition is corrected. Additional charges may apply.

11. Access for Pickup

Renter must provide clear and reasonable access to the dumpster for scheduled pickup or service.

Vehicles, locked gates, construction equipment, snow, debris, materials or other obstructions must not prevent access.

If Owner cannot safely access the dumpster, a dry-run or additional service charge may apply.

12. Permits and Placement Authority

Renter represents that Renter has authority to place the dumpster at the delivery location.

Renter is responsible for obtaining any permit, homeowner-association approval, landlord permission or other authorization required for placement of the dumpster.

13. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, Renter agrees to indemnify and hold Owner harmless from claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses arising from Renter's use of the dumpster, materials placed in the dumpster, placement authorization, site conditions or violation of this Agreement.

14. Renter Representations

By accepting this Agreement, Renter represents that:

• Renter has authority to request dumpster placement at the property.
• Information provided to Owner is accurate.
• Renter will comply with the material and weight restrictions.
• Renter will use the dumpster only for lawful and approved purposes.

15. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Oregon.

16. Written Modifications

Any material modification to this Agreement must be agreed to by Owner in writing.

17. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with any written quote, invoice, booking confirmation or approved written modification, constitutes the agreement between Owner and Renter regarding the dumpster rental.

18. Acceptance

This Agreement is considered accepted when Renter pays the rental deposit, accepts delivery of the dumpster, or otherwise authorizes the rental.
