Fleetwood Waste management service

Fleetwood’s 8-yard rock box is a low-profile container for approved concrete, dirt, rock and similar dense materials. It is a different option from the mixed-waste dumpsters used for household furniture or general renovation cleanouts.

Approximate Dimensions and Capacity

The 8-yard rock box is approximately 12.5 feet long, 8.5 feet wide and 2 feet high. Its volume is roughly comparable to 3 pickup truck loads. This comparison describes volume, not the weight allowance or the amount of every material you may load.

Suitable Projects

Describe driveway or walkway removal, a small excavation, concrete rubble or similar heavy-material work to Fleetwood before booking. Tell the team whether concrete includes rebar or mesh and whether dirt contains roots, rocks or other material. The exact load determines acceptance and pricing.

Keep the Material Stream Separate

Do not add household junk, furniture, general renovation debris, drywall, appliances or electronics to a rock-box load. Hazardous or contaminated material is prohibited. If your project produces several waste streams, discuss separate containers.

Plan Delivery and Loading

Container dimensions do not include the truck’s operating space. Share the placement location, gates, slopes and overhead obstructions with Fleetwood. Use a clear, level location and confirm safe access before delivery. Machine loading is not allowed. Keep the load level and evenly distributed.

Rental Time and Pickup

Rock boxes used for dirt or concrete include three days. Discuss extensions and confirm the additional-day charge in your written quote. Call Fleetwood for pickup with at least one day’s notice; the bin is not automatically collected when the included rental period ends. Keep the collection route clear.

Choose the Right Fleetwood Option

If you need more heavy-material volume, compare the 10-yard rock box and confirm its permitted load. For approved household or mixed renovation waste, start with the 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard mixed-waste dumpsters instead.

Confirm your Fleetwood rental

Rock boxes used for dirt or concrete include three days. Mixed-waste bins include five days. Contact Fleetwood before the agreed pickup if you need an extension, and confirm the additional-day charge and revised collection date in your written quote.

Pricing depends on your delivery city, bin, material and load. Confirm the included weight, loading limits and any applicable charges before booking. Drywall requires a separate drywall-only bin; concrete and dirt require a suitable separate container.
