In older parts of New Orleans, 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.
The driver needs room to back in straight. Shared drives, tight gateposts and parked cars on a narrow New Orleans street are the usual reasons a delivery has to be rescheduled rather than the drive being too short.
Check whether your New Orleans 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.
Load heavy material first and spread it across the floor of the container. An unevenly loaded box is harder to winch onto the truck and occasionally cannot be collected at all.
A quote in New Orleans should be a single number covering delivery, the rental window, collection and disposal to a stated weight. Anything outside that is worth asking about before you book.

New Orleans dumpster rental questions
Can I put yard waste and construction debris in the same container in New Orleans?
You can, but a clean green load often qualifies for a lower composting rate. Mixing them sends the whole container to landfill at the standard rate.
How fast can a dumpster be delivered in New Orleans?
Often same or next day if you call in the morning, though it depends on the provider and the season. Roofing season and month end are the busiest windows.
How long can I keep the container?
Most New Orleans 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.
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.
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 New Orleans deliveries happen with nobody on site.
