Detritus/Services
Services
Any combination below, on any site, in any state, on one agreement and one invoice. These are the specifications we quote against, including the sizing rules that determine whether a container works for the load or hits its weight limit first.
0111 services
Every unit runs on a defined service cycle rather than an as-needed call. Construction placements default to a 28-day rental with a 28-day service cycle; event placements default to four days and are sized with the event restroom planning guide. Service frequency is set per unit, so one provider running behind does not degrade the site. If a building has lost water, start with the emergency restroom response guide.
Restroom units
Construction and general site
The workhorse unit for construction and long-duration site use. Built for durability under daily crew traffic rather than short event runs. Use the portable toilet planning guide to size a placement against headcount and service frequency. Published contract and bid prices are on the portable toilet rental cost guide.
DetailTypical spec: freestanding, no water or power connection required, serviced on a recurring cycle
Handicap accessible
Wheelchair accessible unit with handrails and additional interior space. It is frequently required by contract or public-facing site rules.
DetailTypical spec: ground-level entry, handrails, expanded turning radius
Upgraded interior
Flushing unit with an exterior occupancy indicator that reads red when locked and green when free. Used where the site is client-facing or crew count is high enough that turnover matters.
DetailTypical spec: flush mechanism, occupancy indicator, freshwater reservoir
Combined unit
A single unit combining a restroom with an interior sink. Common on long-duration projects and in locations with no public services, and used in disaster response where footprint is constrained.
DetailTypical spec: interior handwash, reduced footprint versus separate units
Where no drain exists
A restroom mounted on a towable trailer for placement where a direct drain connection is not feasible and where the unit needs to relocate as work moves across a site.
DetailTypical spec: towable, self-contained, relocatable without a service truck
Standalone
Freestanding station with fresh water, soap, and paper towels. Often specified separately from restrooms by contract, and one of the most common omissions when scoping a site.
DetailTypical spec: foot-pump or gravity-fed freshwater, soap and towel dispensers
Trailers, tanks, and pumping
Flushing, climate controlled
Multi-stall towable trailer with flushing fixtures, sinks, lighting, and climate control. Operates with independent electricity, water, and waste, so it can serve locations with no utility connection at all. Review the restroom trailer site requirements before delivery.
DetailRequires: a level pad, and either utility hookups or a holding tank and generator
Premium finish
Higher-specification trailer for client-facing sites, commissioning events, and executive site visits. It can be installed outdoors or, where access dimensions allow, indoors.
DetailRequires: level pad, larger access clearance than a standard trailer
Mobile storage
Sealed mobile tank collecting waste from trailers and temporary fixtures, pumped on a schedule. The pumping cadence rather than the tank rental usually drives the cost.
DetailTypical spec: mobile placement, no permanent installation, scheduled pump-out
Scheduled service
Vacuum-truck pumping of on-site septic systems for buildings not connected to municipal sewer. The dominant service line on rural retail and facilities portfolios.
DetailDelivered as: recurring scheduled service, with repair and assessment available
Events
Events and festivals
Portable restrooms, accessible units, hand wash stations and restroom trailers for events, with service scheduled around your hours.
DetailPlanning: count by expected attendance
0214 services
Recurring collection for occupied buildings is a different service from a project roll-off. Front-load, rear-load, carts, and compactors stay on site and are emptied on a schedule. Commercial dumpsters and compactors is that program, including recycling containers on the same agreement. Published city rates for recurring containers and roll-off hauls are on the commercial dumpster cost guide.
Recurring collection
Stays on site
Front-load and rear-load dumpsters, carts, compactors and balers that stay on your property and are emptied on a schedule, plus recurring roll-off hauls, for retail, restaurants, offices and property portfolios. Container size and pickup frequency are set per site, with a named account executive.
DetailRecurring service. One agreement and one invoice across locations.
Recurring recycling
A cardboard container or a baler for stores and warehouses, collected beside the trash on the same agreement.
DetailContainer or baler, sized from a week of boxes
Project containers
Project containers are sized in cubic yards from 10 to 40. Dense material such as concrete, dirt, and shingles hits weight limits well before volume limits, so heavy loads are usually placed in a smaller container or filled part way. The dumpster size guide explains how material weight changes the right container. Dimensions are on the 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard pages. Every quote states the rental period, the weight allowance, and how overage is billed before you commit.
Tight access, heavy loads
For constrained sites and dense debris. The right choice for concrete, dirt, and asphalt, where a larger container would exceed weight limits before it filled.
DetailHandles: up to roughly 25 to 30 squares of single-layer shingles, one to two room projects
Mid-size projects
The general-purpose size for remodels and mid-scale framing debris. Concrete and other heavy material can go in a partially filled 20-yard container.
DetailHandles: up to roughly 55 squares of single-layer shingles, two to three room projects, multi-room cleanouts
Commercial and multi-family
Commercial shells, multi-family construction, large residential demolition, and land clearing. Sizing up here reduces swap trips and the downtime that comes with them.
DetailHandles: commercial and insulated roofing, land clearing and landscape debris
Largest standard container
The largest standard roll-off, for large commercial construction and warehouse-scale cleanouts where minimizing haul count matters more than footprint.
DetailHandles: large warehouse cleanouts, major commercial roofing, large-scale demolition
Equipment and specialty streams
Restricted access
A towable tipping container for sites a roll-off truck cannot access or turn around in. Listed by yard size but not interchangeable with a roll-off.
DetailUse when: driveway, alley, or site access will not accommodate a roll-off truck
Long-running facilities
Stationary and self-contained compactors, pre-crushers, and vertical and horizontal balers, available to rent through the provider network. Hauls and service sit on the same agreement. A roll-off can sit beside a machine that is down until it is repaired.
DetailRental through the network. Terms set by site and machine.
Separated material
Separated collection for metal, concrete, plastic, and pallets. Worth separating where the material has value or where a diversion target applies to the project.
DetailCommon streams: metal, concrete, plastic, wood pallets, cardboard
LEED and waste plans
Weights and diversion rates by material stream, from the providers' scale tickets, for LEED documentation and project waste plans.
DetailReports monthly by stream, with the weight records behind each number
Regulated material
Compliant removal and disposal of regulated material. Never place liquids, fuels, batteries, pesticides, or asbestos in a standard roll-off.
DetailHandled: separately from general waste, with documentation
Stormwater compliance
A contained unit for rinsing concrete equipment so slurry does not reach soil or storm drains. Usually a permit or stormwater plan requirement rather than a convenience.
DetailDriven by: permit conditions and stormwater pollution prevention plans
Bulk material in
Delivery of limestone, sand, and select fill for access roads and equipment pads, reconciled by ticketed tonnage load by load.
DetailBilled by: delivered tonnage against a delivery ticket
Cleanouts and move-outs
A local crew loads and hauls furniture, appliances and debris, with reuse and recycling first and special items flagged before loading.
DetailUse when: a dumpster is not the right fit
034 services
The category most often left out of a site services scope and then sourced under pressure. Running it on the same agreement means one invoice and one escalation path rather than a separate vendor per item.
Drinking and washing
Delivered potable water for crew use, wash stations, and restroom trailers on sites with no utility connection.
DetailDelivered as: scheduled fills or on-call replenishment
Dust and construction use
Water for dust suppression, compaction, and general construction use where potable quality is not required.
DetailCommon uses: dust control, soil compaction, equipment washdown
Crew supply
Recurring pallet deliveries of bottled water and packaged ice. On hot-climate sites this is a safety item, not a convenience, and it scales with crew count.
DetailDelivered as: recurring pallet cadence set against crew count
Equipment supply
Scheduled fuel, diesel exhaust fluid, and lubricant delivery for site equipment, held on the same agreement as everything else.
DetailDelivered as: scheduled refills, or on request
0413 services
Temporary structures and enclosures. These carry longer lead times than sanitation and waste, so scope them with the rest of the program before mobilization.
Structures and enclosures
Enclosure and security
Panel and chain-link fencing for site enclosure, public separation, and security. Priced by linear footage and duration.
DetailOptions: panel fence, chain-link with or without privacy screen, gates
Work zones
Barricades, cones, arrow boards and barrier for lane closures and site edges, matched to the traffic control plan.
DetailReference: OSHA and the federal highway manual, Part 6
Secure on-site storage
Ground-level secure storage for tools, materials, and equipment. Standard units are 8 feet wide and 8 feet high, with length varying by size.
DetailTypical spec: 8 ft width and height, length varies, ground-level access
Site office space
Climate-controlled workspace for site management, in single-wide, double-wide, and larger configurations.
DetailRequires: level placement, power connection, and in most cases steps or a ramp
Temporary power
Temporary power generation and on-site fuel storage for equipment, trailers, and lighting.
DetailScoped against: connected load, runtime, and refueling cadence
Site machinery
Machinery placement for site work, coordinated alongside the rest of the program rather than through a separate rental relationship.
DetailAvailability: varies by market and duration
Light, climate, and response
Night work and early starts
Mobile light towers sourced through the provider network, with fuel scheduled alongside. Sized to the area and aimed at the work.
DetailReference: OSHA minimum foot-candles by work area
Cold and hot weather work
Temporary heaters and portable cooling with duct, with fuel and service scheduled and OSHA ventilation rules built into the plan.
DetailSafety: ventilation and carbon monoxide first
Demolition and sitework
Water trucks, misting and air scrubbers sourced to the work, with capture at the tool where the silica rule calls for it.
DetailReference: OSHA silica controls and local dust rules
Storm, flood and fire response
Roll-offs, restrooms, power, light and water for the first days of a response, on one agreement.
DetailDebris: sorted by category with local rules first
Demolition debris and stormwater
Multi-story debris
Enclosed debris chutes from upper floors down to a roll-off, sourced and scheduled with the dumpster under them.
DetailReference: OSHA rules for dropping debris and demolition chutes
Track-out control
Wheel wash stations, rumble plates and stabilized entrances that keep mud on the site and off the street.
DetailReference: EPA construction stormwater permit, track-out
Stormwater compliance
Silt fence, wattles, inlet protection and stabilized entrances, supplied and installed to the stormwater plan.
DetailReference: EPA construction stormwater permit, sediment controls
Before you compare quotes
Landfills charge by weight, so a quote is only comparable if you know four things. Concrete, dirt, and saturated debris reach the allowance fast. Our quotes state all four line by line. Definitions.
