Post by: bbriscoe on July 22, 2008, 10:40:54 AM
I want to rent a dumpster to tear off my old roof - anyone know who to call and what they might charge?

Trying to think of the place I ride by every day on SW Blvd.  I think it's American Waste.  Funny when you ride or drive by a place everyday it's "just there". [;)]

They have quite a few roll-off dumpsters on their lot and they don't look all beat up.  Other than that try the yellow pages.

I used American Waste about 6yrs ago, but don't remember the price. It seems like it was around $150 for two loads. They came and emptied it once! They backed down the drive and put it right by the garage!

RecycMike could probably give a good referral!

Going rate, based on what I'm paying at our construction site, is about $200 per dumpster.

There are a number of local companies that can provide a roll-off dumpster.

I do or have done business with American Waste, National Waste, Allied Waste, Gator containers, Smithey Environmental, Tulsa Ash Haulers and Waste Management.

The prices have gone up and now there is a state solid waste fee added per ton. I would shop around and expect to pay between 250 and 350 dollars per dumpster load.

I would also make sure and secure it so your neighbors don't fill it with trash.

Wouldn't it would be great if Tulsa had a recycling program similar to Austin (//%22http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/stories/2008/06/09/daily45.html?ana=from_rss%22)
Why aren't we doing this?

American Waste is a local company with their own facilities.  I have done business with them and recommend them highly.  

I had some bad experiences with Allied Waste, they were bought by some larger conglomerate and things went south.  

Just call American Waste and get a rate.  I'd imagine the rates are closer to $140 per pickup, but that's a shot in the dark.  Fuel and the closure of the trash to energy plant have not been good to the industry

[edit]I called American Waste:

30 Yard Roll-Off
in Tulsa
Roofing material (charged by weight, so this gives a decent estimate)
One week

= about $375.  

If you need it longer than 1 week it's $2 per day.  Price could go up or down a little depending on weight.  Roofing material makes for heavy loads and that's what the estimate is on.

Thanks for the 'opening' and the 'clearance' to land AA!
