Protect the surface. Plywood under the wheels and the rear roller spreads the load, which matters on the thinner driveway slabs common in parts of Charleston. A loaded 30 yard container can run past 10 tons.
Measure the approach rather than the parking space. A roll off truck needs a straight run of about 60 feet, and the overhead clearance of 23 feet is what catches people out, because the container swings high as it tips off the bed.
If the driveway slopes, mention it. Containers are set level and a steep Charleston drive sometimes means the street is the only workable position, which brings a permit into play.
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.
If nobody will be home, mark the drop spot clearly and leave instructions. Most Charleston deliveries happen without the customer present and go fine.

Charleston dumpster rental questions
What happens if I go over the weight limit?
You are billed for the extra tonnage at the local disposal rate, commonly $50 to $125 per ton. Ask for that rate when you get the quote.
Do you handle the dumpster rental yourselves?
No. We are a free referral service. Your call connects you with an independent local provider who owns the equipment and handles delivery, the rental and pickup.
Do I need to sort the debris before loading?
Generally no, beyond keeping heavy inert material separate. Some cities operate construction and demolition diversion rules, and your provider will know whether one applies in Charleston.
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 Charleston deliveries happen with nobody on site.
Can the container go on the street overnight in Charleston?
Where a street permit has been issued, yes, though some cities require reflective markings or cones overnight as a condition of the permit.
