Soft ground is the quiet risk at Dover addresses with long unpaved drives. After heavy rain, a loaded container can sink far enough that the truck cannot retrieve it until things dry out.
Check the overhead first. The container pivots high off the truck bed, so a branch or carport roof that cleared a car will not clear a tipping roll off. Twenty three feet is the figure to work to.
Keep the load level with the top rail. Anything heaped above it cannot be legally tarped for transport, so the driver either levels it at your cost or leaves without it.
Breaking debris down before it goes in is worth real money on a Dover rental, because you are buying volume. A dismantled wardrobe takes a third of the space of an intact one.
Two correctly sized containers reliably cost less than one surcharged load, which is the case for separating heavy debris on any Dover demolition.

Dover dumpster rental questions
Can I rent a dumpster for just one day?
You can, but it rarely saves money. Most providers price a minimum rental period of about a week, so a one day rental usually costs close to the same.
How long can I keep the container?
Most Dover rentals include 7 to 10 days. Extra days are usually billed at a flat daily rate. Tell the provider up front if the job is likely to run long.
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.
Do prices change during the year?
Availability changes more than price does. Spring through autumn is busy across most of Kent, and the end of the month is tight almost everywhere.
Who is responsible if the driveway is damaged?
Placing plywood under the wheels and the rear roller is the standard precaution and it is normally the customer side of the arrangement. Ask the provider what their terms say.
