What is a roll-off dumpster?
A roll-off dumpster refers to a sizable open-top container designed for managing substantial amounts of waste during major projects like construction, home remodeling, or extensive cleanouts. The term “roll-off” comes from the delivery method, where the container is lowered from the rear of a specialized truck directly to your location. After loading, it’s hoisted back onto the truck and hauled to a disposal or recycling site.
