Check two things before the truck comes to your Rochester address: whether the driveway slab can take the load, and whether anything overhead sits lower than about 23 feet. Those are the two most common reasons a delivery has to be rescheduled.
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 Rochester tear off, the difference between a good and a bad position is measured in hours of carrying.
If the job will clearly run long, agree the extension before the end date. An unplanned overrun can mean a wasted collection trip, which is billable in a way an agreed extension is not.
If the drive is the only sensible position but the slab is thin, say so. Providers carry boards, and the cost of protection is nothing against the cost of a cracked Rochester driveway.

Rochester pricing tracks Olmsted tipping fees, how far the truck drives and how much tonnage is included. Going over the included weight is the most common extra charge, so be honest about dense material like plaster, tile and wet carpet.

Rochester 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.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Rochester?
Not for a private driveway in almost all cases. A container placed on a public street normally needs a municipal right of way permit, and the provider usually files it for you.
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.
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.
