FAQ

Q1: How do I choose a size?

• 3 m³: small room/garage clear‑outs; 4.5–6 m³: small renovations; 7.5–9 m³: whole‑home or small sites; 10 m³+: larger renos or worksites. Always confirm available sizes during checkout.

Q2: Why do prices vary within the same city?

• Operators set different weight allowances, prohibited items, hire durations, and travel distances. Online systems price dynamically by address and inventory.

Q3: What if I overload the bin?

• Most providers weigh on pickup; excess weight incurs an extra charge per their tariff.

Q4: Tight access or no driveway space?

• Consider flexible bag options (e.g., 3 m³ bags up to ~1,250 kg). They’re ideal for narrow sites and one‑off clean‑ups.
