Q2: What’s the difference between a roll-off dumpster and a front-load dumpster? Which is right for me?

A roll-off dumpster is an open-top container delivered to your location for a set rental period. Roll-offs are ideal for large cleanouts, commercial construction projects and demolition work. Front-load dumpster service is an ongoing, scheduled pickup solution for businesses that need regular pickups. For these clients, they get a permanently placed dumpster that our trucks empty on a routine basis. 121 Disposal Company offers both roll-offs and front-load dumpster rentals to fit your project size and frequency needs.

Q7: What size roll-off dumpster do I need for my project?

Obviously the size dumpster you need depends on your project. A 10-yard roll-off is usually perfect for small cleanouts or minor bathroom/kitchen renovations. A 20-yard container works well for larger home cleanouts, flooring removal, or mid-size remodels/renovations. A 30-yard or larger roll-off is best for major construction, demolition, or roofing projects. 121 Disposal Co. offers a range of roll-off dumpster sizes and can help you choose the right one to rent. Call us if you need more help deciding which size roll-off dumpster you need, or request a quote online.

Q8: How does a commercial waste compactor work? Is it right for my business?

A commercial waste compactor is a permanent on-site unit that compresses your business’s trash. This reduces how often it needs to be emptied and lowers your disposal costs. 121 Disposal Co. provides compactor installation, servicing, and pickup for businesses across Alabama and Georgia. Commercial compactors are a great fit for high-volume operations such as restaurants, retailers, manufacturers and office buildings. Call us to discuss whether a compactor makes sense for your business.
