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 Charlottesville. A loaded 30 yard container can run past 10 tons.
Think about the carry as well as the fit. Positioning the container 40 feet closer to the debris saves more labour than any difference in delivery fee, which is worth considering on a big Charlottesville clearance.
Put plywood under the wheels and the rear roller. A loaded 30 yard container can run past 10 tons on four small contact points, which is more than many Charlottesville driveway slabs were poured for.
Ask for two numbers rather than one: the included tonnage and the per ton overage rate. The second is the figure that turns a quoted price into a final bill in Charlottesville.
A quote in Charlottesville 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.

Charlottesville dumpster rental questions
How do I know what tonnage I actually used?
The truck is weighed loaded and empty at the disposal facility, and the weigh ticket is the basis for any overage charge. You can ask to see it.
Is there a charge if the container is not ready for pickup?
If the load is overfilled, blocked by a vehicle or contains prohibited material, most providers charge a dry run fee for the wasted trip. Clear access on the collection day avoids it.
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.
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.
What is the busiest time to book in Charlottesville?
Spring through autumn, with the end of the month tightest almost everywhere. Roofing weather drives most of the seasonal swing in Albemarle County.
