613 Dumpster

4.9(278)✓ Google-verified

Repeat customers and contractors value 613 Dumpster for same-day or next-morning delivery, competitive rates, and Jordan's hands-on problem-solving. Most interactions go smoothly, but two recent customers hit friction with billing transparency and staff phone etiquette-one got a dismissive "wrong company" response after a price discrepancy, the other faced unexplained surcharges and impatient follow-up. Their core strength is keeping projects moving fast and clean without nickel-and-diming. Long-term clients call them reliable and friendly. The gaps emerge in the initial quote phase and invoice details, where written terms and fee breakdowns have caused frustration and sometimes comparisons to competitors.
