Dumpster & Dump Trailer Rental FAQs

Straight answers for Phenix City, Smiths Station, & Columbus

If your main concern is price, Facebook Marketplace is typically the best place to look. MH&D offers good pricing, but we focus on adding value rather than racing to the bottom on cost. Lower prices elsewhere can come with a lack of dependability, unethical business practices, or dangerous, unqualified labor.

When everything goes well, doing it yourself is substantially cheaper. It comes with some risk — flat tires, getting stuck in deep landfill mud — and it takes a lot of time. If DIY sounds right for you, call MH&D at 346-613-0961 for free tips on how to make it as smooth as possible.

We offer up to 17 yards of junk removal capacity — 7' wide, 16' front to back, with walls 4' tall.

A "full house cleanout" can vary wildly in volume, but we commonly complete one in a single load.

Our equipment capacity maxes out at 12,000 lbs — for an average homeowner, you won't come close to that. Dirt, concrete, stone, and the heaviest trees can hit our weight limit and require a separate quote.

Absolutely — and there are no fees attached to this type of debris.

You can — we just need to know ahead of time. There's no extra charge for it.

There isn't much we can't handle. Generally, if a machine needs to lift it, let us know you're loading it — and please bag up or dry out paint to keep our equipment in good condition. We don't take medical waste, explosives, or illegal substances.

You absolutely can.

We typically rent for 1-3 days. For longer-duration rentals on jobs where ground damage isn't a concern, a roll-off dumpster is usually the better bet.

PLACEHOLDER — answer pending.

For $99, you won't get much — a truck bed full, and poor customer service from a stressed-out business owner. Low-cost junk removal companies may also practice unethical disposal or hire unsafe, low-skill workers.

Usually, no. Bagster is inexpensive upfront, but comes with hefty back-end fees that most customers weren't expecting.

One way or another, you'll have to pay to get rid of your junk. The cheapest way is a landfill run — the easiest way is MH&D.

Absolutely. We offer dump trailers, which are much gentler on your property, and even full junk removal service — so you don't have to deal with any part of your junk problem.

Roughly 12 full trash bags. Our dump trailers can fit more than 200.

Cheaper almost always means worse service, less dependability, and more risk. And when comparing dumpster types: roll-off dumpsters make more sense for longer rentals, while dump trailers are gentler on your property and better for shorter jobs.
