If your Novato property has a narrow approach or a shared alley, say so when you call. Providers can sometimes send a smaller truck, but they need to know in advance rather than finding out on arrival.
Tell the driver which way the barn doors should face. They can set the container either way round if you ask in advance, and walking debris in beats lifting it over a wall on every job.
Decide where the debris will actually be generated before choosing the spot. On a Novato tear off, the difference between a good and a bad position is measured in hours of carrying.
Early collection is normally free. If you finish ahead of the rental period, call and the provider will usually collect within a day or two rather than leaving the container on your Novato drive.
Think about the pickup as well as the drop. A vehicle parked across the container on collection day in Novato usually means a dry run fee for the wasted trip.

Novato dumpster rental questions
Can I put concrete in a regular dumpster?
No. Concrete, brick, dirt and asphalt need a dedicated heavy debris container, normally a 10 yard with low walls, and they must not be mixed with household junk.
Will the container damage my driveway?
It can if nothing is put underneath. Plywood under the wheels and the rear roller spreads the load and is the standard precaution on residential concrete and asphalt.
How much is a 20 yard dumpster in Novato?
Typically $400 to $700 for a 7 to 10 day rental with 2 to 4 tons included. The exact figure depends on the provider, your ZIP code and the landfill they use.
Can I get a dumpster for yard waste in Novato?
Yes. Clean yard waste often goes to a composting facility rather than a landfill, which can lower the disposal cost. Keep it separate from construction debris to qualify.
Do I need to be home for the delivery?
Usually not, as long as the drop spot is clear and you have given clear instructions. Many Novato deliveries happen with nobody on site.
