A dumpster from DJP runs $349 to $600 depending on size, and that number covers delivery, pickup, 14 days of rental, and a tonnage allowance. The 15-yard is $349 with 2 tons. Both 20-yards are $449 with 3 tons. The 30-yard is $600 with 4 tons. Those are the prices on the pricing page and they are the prices you hear on the phone.
Three things can move what you finally pay, and being told about all three before delivery is the point of publishing them.
Weight past your allowance is $60 a ton. Every load crosses a certified scale on the way into the transfer station, the ticket prints what it weighed, and that ticket comes back with your invoice. You are not paying an estimate of the weight, you are paying the printed number. Household and remodel loads usually finish inside the allowance. Dense material is where it gets interesting, and that is worth a paragraph of its own below.
Extra days are $9 each past the 14. Nothing gets picked up until you call and say you are done, so a job that runs two weeks longer is not a scheduling emergency, it is $126. That matters more than it sounds like it should, because the most expensive mistake in this business is not the extra days. It is renting a dumpster that is too small, filling it, and paying for a second delivery at full price.
Mattresses, tires and some appliances carry an item charge. Those go to a different place in the transfer station and get billed separately. Count them out on the phone and the quote will include them, which is better than finding them on the invoice.
What does not move the number is where you are. Woodruff, Greenville, Spartanburg, Gray Court, the same price holds across all three counties. The yard is in Woodruff and the truck drives further to some jobs than others, but that is our routing problem, not a line on your bill.
The heavy material question is the one worth thinking through before you order. Concrete, brick, asphalt, dirt and roofing shingles all weigh far more per cubic yard than furniture and drywall do. A 30-yard dumpster loaded level with concrete would be well past what a truck can legally haul off your property, so a heavy load is a case where the smaller dumpster is the right answer and the tonnage, not the volume, is what you are buying. Say the word concrete on the phone and Devin will plan the weight with you instead of letting you discover it on the scale ticket.
If you are trying to work out which size you need before you call, the size guide walks through it by job type. If you already know, the price is published and you can book it online in about a minute.
Worth saying plainly what is not on the bill. There is no fuel surcharge, no environmental fee, no administrative fee and no charge for the driver's time on a normal delivery. DJP has no out-of-area fee inside the three counties either. The published number plus weight past your allowance plus days past the 14 plus item charges is the entire arithmetic, and if you order the right size and stay inside the allowance it is just the published number.
People ask how DJP compares on price and the honest answer is that comparing on the headline number alone will mislead you. A cheaper base rate with a shorter rental period and a smaller tonnage allowance is frequently the more expensive rental once the job takes three weekends instead of one. Fourteen days and a generous allowance are where most of the value sits, and they are the two things that never appear in an ad.
The last thing that moves a bill is the one nobody plans for: a second dumpster. That is a new rental at the published price, because the truck makes the trip twice. It is also the single most avoidable charge in this business, and the way to avoid it is to go up a size when the answer is close.
