Will the dumpster crack or gouge my driveway in the heat?

We place boards under the rails as standard, which spreads the load and protects asphalt and concrete — even in Bakersfield's 100°-plus summer heat.

What is a "dry-run" fee and how do I avoid it?

A dry-run fee covers a wasted trip when the drop spot is blocked on arrival. Avoid it by keeping the driveway clear and the gate open — we'll confirm placement when you book.

Can a dumpster sit safely on a sloped driveway?

Usually yes — we chock and position it so it can't shift. Tell us about a steep slope when booking so we plan placement.

Do you offer lockable or secure dumpsters to stop overnight dumping?

Ask when you book — we'll help with placement and options to keep strangers from filling your bin. Keeping it on the driveway and visible is the best deterrent.

Can I get a same-day swap-out or early pickup?

Yes — same or next-day swaps when it fills, and early pickup the moment you finish, at no penalty for finishing ahead.

Do you charge extra for Saturday delivery or pickup?

We run seven days a week; weekend service is available — ask about your window when you book.

If it rains, does the water weight count against my tonnage?

Heavy rain adds real weight. Tarp the bin if storms are coming — it's free weight insurance — and we'll be fair about it on the ticket.

Can I move or reposition the dumpster myself after drop-off?

Please don't — even empty they weigh thousands of pounds, and moving one risks damage and injury. We'll reposition it for you if needed.

How do you verify the weight for accurate billing?

Loads are weighed at the certified landfill scale, and any overage is your actual disposal cost — shown before it's charged, never an estimate-based markup.

Do you give notice or tracking when the driver is on the way?

Yes — we'll give you a delivery window and a heads-up when the driver is en route, so you're not waiting around.

"I do a lot of posts and reviews mostly for food and restaurants. This is my first time doing one for a service such as SWIFT. The guys showed up promptly when they said they would, and kept in contact with me great communication. They were very professional and nice. They cleared out the whole center of my garage for a fair price. Overall happy with my experience and 10 out of 10 would recommend."

"With it being 109 degrees in mid summer, SWIFT disposal came to my location promptly and they were so professional and kind throughout the entire process. We had a lot of heavy and bigger items that needed to be disposed of and they took away everything I asked of and even cleaned up the area right after. I am beyond thankful for them and their work, and I cannot recommend them enough if you ne…"
