That local aspect is interesting and it ties into their main goal, which really caught my eye. They explicitly state they want most of our items not end up in our landfills.

Speaker 1:

Okay, that's significant, so not just hauling it away blindly.

Speaker 1:

All right, so we know who they are, what they stand for. Let's unpack the actual services. You mentioned two main things junk removal and dumpster rental. Let's start with junk removal. What does that look like from their end?

Speaker 2:

So junk removal is basically the full service option. They come, they pick up your unwanted items. They load them, they haul them away, but what they really emphasize is this idea of a new set of standards. They're trying to move away from that old image of you know.

Speaker 1:

Just some guy with a pickup truck showing up.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, they talk about having clean trucks, a clean, well-dressed crew, proper licensing, insurance. It's all about projecting professionalism.

Speaker 1:

And how does that benefit you know, you, the customer.

Speaker 2:

Well, it translates to a service they describe as trustworthy, fair and speedy, plus the licensing and insurance thing that's important for your protection too Less risk.

Speaker 1:

Makes sense. And who is this service for Homes? Yeah, businesses.

Speaker 2:

Both actually. They mention junk removal for homes and companies, even something called long-distance applications, though the details weren't specific there. They seem equipped for large-scale cleanup too, residential or commercial, using specialty cleanup crews.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and they were working during COVID-19.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they noted they operated as an essential business, which suggests reliability.

Speaker 1:

And pricing you mentioned, trustworthy and fair.

Speaker 2:

Right, they say pricing starts at $390, but and this is key it varies based on the item. So what you're getting rid of impacts the cost.

Speaker 1:

Good to know.

Speaker 2:

Ultimately, the goal of this service is pretty clear Just make it easier for people Get rid of stuff without you having to do the heavy lifting or figure out disposal. They provide the labor and the means.

Speaker 1:

Takes the hassle out of it. Okay, so that's junk removal. What about the other side, dumpster rental? How's that different?

Speaker 2:

Dumpster rental is more of a DIY approach, but with their equipment they drop off a dumpster at your place, right? You fill it up yourself over a few days maybe no-transcript.

Speaker 1:

So that seems ideal for like renovation projects.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Or maybe a big garage clean out you want to do over a weekend.

Speaker 2:

Exactly Home renovations, construction debris, that big garage or basement. Clear out any job where you've got ongoing debris and want a container right there.

Speaker 1:

Gotcha. Now they get specific about the dumpsters themselves. They mentioned hook, lift, roll off dumpsters. What's that about?

Speaker 2:

Ah yeah, the hook lift system. That's actually a good detail. It's a type of truck system that lifts and places the dumpster more precisely often, gentler, on driveways, compared to older cable systems that could drag or scrape.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so potentially less risk of damaging your property.

Speaker 2:

Potentially yeah. And they give specs for one type a 20 cubic yard hook lift dumpster. It's 16 feet long, 8 feet wide and 5 feet high. Holds up to 2 tons of weight.

Speaker 1:

Those dimensions are helpful for figuring out if it fits and how much it holds.

Speaker 2:

Definitely. But just as important is what you can't put in them, right, the restrictions. What are those? They're very clear no tires, no paint, no chemicals, no concrete, no dirt and no hazardous materials.

Speaker 1:

And that's pretty standard right for safety and environmental reasons.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely. Those things need special handling. You can't just mix them with regular waste, heading potentially towards a landfill or recycler. It's about safety and following regulations.

Speaker 1:

Okay Now I also saw mention of mobile dumpsters. Are those different?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it seems like another option they offer. They list a 10-yard mobile dumpster holds about four pickup truck loads. They say then a 15-yard one, that's six pickup loads, and another 20-yard mobile dumpster holding eight pickup loads.

Speaker 1:

So similar capacities, but maybe a different style or delivery method.

Speaker 2:

Could be. What's really interesting, though, is they list the same external dimensions for all three of those mobile options 22 feet 9 inches long, 8 feet 3 inches wide, 4 feet 4 inches high. Huh.

Speaker 1:

So the internal volume changes, but the footprint stays the same, seems like it, which is, yeah, kind of interesting.

Speaker 2:

Gives you options based on volume needed without needing more physical space for the container itself.

Speaker 1:

Okay, lots of options there. So, moving beyond just the services themselves, why might you choose the dumpster company over, say, another provider? They talk about support and expertise.

Speaker 2:

Right, that expertise ties back to those new set of standards. We talked about the professional image, the clean equipment, the trained crew. It's about reliability, about the professional image, the clean equipment, the train crew. It's about reliability, mm-hmm. They also mention a protection service which sounds like they take care ensuring cargo safety during transport.

Speaker 1:

So careful handling, basically and they seem very focused on the customer experience.

Speaker 2:

They say they want to provide the best dumpster rental service and that they value you as a customer yeah, the goal seems to be efficiency, helping you get your project done, whether you're a homeowner or business, as quickly as possible.

Speaker 1:

Does that check out with what people say? Are there testimonials?

Speaker 2:

There are. We saw comments like best junk removal services I've ever received from my house. Another one mentioned them being professional, helpful and clean and, crucially, didn't leave any traces to complain about.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so that suggests they follow through on the clean, professional promise.

Speaker 2:

It seems that way, yeah, connecting their stated values to actual positive feedback.

Speaker 1:

All right. So wrapping this up, what's the bottom line for someone listening if you've got a big clean-out, a renovation or just stuff to get rid of?

Speaker 2:

Well, the Dumpster Co looks like they offer a pretty solid range of options, from full-service junk removal to various dumpster sizes for DIY projects.

Speaker 1:

And the emphasis seems to be on making it easy, professional and also well responsible, with that focus on diverting waste from landfills.

Speaker 2:

Exactly, and that, I think, leads to the bigger takeaway, or maybe a question for you, the listener, to think about. Okay, as we all generate well stuff, I think leads to the bigger takeaway, or maybe a question for you, the listener, to think about Okay, as we all generate well stuff, unwanted items. How can we use services like these? Not just because it's convenient, which it is, but as a deliberate step towards being more environmentally conscious about waste in our own lives?

So it's more than just tossing junk.
