Tips
- Street placement usually needs a permit, and in many cities only the hauler can pull it (Denver, Minneapolis, NYC).
- Some cities ask for insurance certificates naming the city (Atlanta) or bonds (Austin) from the applicant.
- Ask about swap-outs (a full container exchanged for an empty one) if the job runs long.
- Clean loads of concrete or dirt can often go in a cheaper clean-fill container.
