How far in advance should I book a roll-off?

A day ahead is ideal, and in the City of Erie it gives us time to get the City’s approval. Same-day delivery is usually possible across Erie, Millcreek, Summit, Lawrence Park and Harborcreek if you call before noon.

Can I put a roll-off on the street?

In the City of Erie only with the City’s prior approval, which we request. Harborcreek does not allow dumpsters in the road, Fairview wants them on the property clear of traffic, and Edinboro bars garbage receptacles from its streets. Millcreek, McKean and Lawrence Park publish no rule, and we check before a street drop there.

What if I need it longer?

Tell us and we extend it. Extra days are charged at the daily rate quoted when you booked; in Harborcreek we keep inside the two-month limit and in North East Borough we renew the 30-day zoning permit.

Do you deliver as far as Corry and North East?

Yes: Corry, North East, Edinboro, Waterford and Girard are all on scheduled runs, usually booked a day ahead.

Roll-Off Dumpster Rental in Erie, PA

Lake Erie Dumpsters Co roll-off containers and trucks

A roll-off dumpster is the open-top steel container a truck rolls off its bed onto your driveway or site and rolls back on when you are done. Lake Erie Dumpsters Co runs five sizes, from a 10-yard box that fits beside a car to a 40-yard container for demolition, delivered across Erie, Millcreek, Harborcreek, Fairview, Summit, Lawrence Park, McKean, Girard, Waterford, Edinboro, North East and Corry.

This page explains how the rental works from the first call to the pickup, so there are no surprises on either side.

What a roll-off rental includes

One flat price covers delivery, the rental period you asked for, pickup and a disposal weight allowance that depends on the container size. The per-ton overage rate, applied only if your load goes over the allowance, is stated on the same quote. There is no fuel surcharge and no separate disposal charge. Extra days beyond the agreed period, a second trip because the container could not be delivered or collected, or moving it once placed are charged at the rates we give you when you book.

Delivery day

The truck needs about 60 feet of straight room to back in and roll the container off, and about 14 feet of overhead clearance free of low wires and branches. We put the door end where you tell us so you can walk material in, and lay boards under the rails on request. You do not need to be there; a marked spot or a photo is enough.

Loading and pickup

Load level with the top rail; the truck has to tarp the container and travel legally, and an overfilled box gets levelled before it leaves. Keep prohibited items out: TVs and computers, lead-acid batteries, loads of leaves, liquids, tires, refrigerant appliances with the gas still in, asbestos and hazardous chemicals all have their own routes in Pennsylvania. Call when the container is full or the job is done and we collect it, usually within a business day, and haul it to a permitted facility.
