In older parts of Richmond, plaster and lath walls weigh far more than modern drywall. If you are gutting a pre war property, tell the provider, because the weight allowance matters more than the cubic yards.
Soft ground is the quiet risk at Richmond addresses with long unpaved drives. After heavy rain a loaded container can settle far enough that the truck cannot winch it back on.
Check whether your Richmond neighbourhood has rules about street visibility or screening. Finding out after the container is on the drive is the expensive order to do it in.
Separate as you go rather than at the end. Running a small heavy debris container during the demolition phase reliably costs less in Richmond than one surcharged mixed load.
If nobody will be home, mark the drop spot clearly and leave instructions. Most Richmond deliveries happen without the customer present and go fine.

Richmond dumpster rental questions
What size do most Richmond homeowners order?
The 20 yard container. It handles a full floor of remodel debris or roughly 2,500 square feet of shingles and still fits a standard two car driveway.
What is the busiest time to book in Richmond?
Spring through autumn, with the end of the month tightest almost everywhere. Roofing weather drives most of the seasonal swing in Contra Costa County.
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.
Can two smaller containers work instead of one large one?
Sometimes, and on heavy debris it is often the better answer. Two 10 yard containers of concrete are easier to price and transport than one overloaded 20 yard.
Can I move the dumpster once it is delivered?
No. Moving a roll off container needs the truck. If the position is wrong, call the provider and they will reposition it, sometimes for a fee.
