Most dumpster rental companies do not provide a straight forward pricing; there could be additional fees for delivery, pick up, environmental, and/or special local taxes. The amazing parts is that in some companies these fees are floating fees that change depending on the cost of fuel!
For example a local dumpster company here in Atlanta will rent you a 10 cubic yard dumpster for $300 for 7 days, but then they charge you $50 for delivery (as if you can go pick it up from them) and a environmental fee that floats! The current environmental fee is 15.32%! By the time you are all done with the dumpster your cost would be $403.62!!! That is approximately 34% more than the "dumpster rental"! Adds up quick.
Why do dumpster companies do this? No clue! Seems just silly to us!
