Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of materials can go in a construction dumpster?

    Construction dumpsters typically accept wood, drywall, roofing materials, and demolition debris. At A-1 Roll-Off Rentals, our dumpsters are ideal for residential builds, remodels, and light commercial projects throughout Baton Rouge. We help contractors keep job sites clean and organized.
  • How does yard waste disposal differ from regular trash?

    Yard waste dumpsters are specifically for organic outdoor debris like branches, leaves, and shrubs. These materials are handled separately from household trash to support proper disposal and recycling. A-1 Roll-Off Rentals sizes dumpsters based on your landscaping project needs across Baton Rouge and surrounding areas.
  • When should I rent a dumpster for a home renovation?

    Rent a dumpster before demolition or tear-out begins to keep debris contained from day one. Early delivery helps maintain a safe, organized workspace and prevents clutter buildup. At A-1 Roll-Off Rentals, we coordinate delivery timing to match your project schedule in Baton Rouge.
  • What size dumpster do I need for a home cleanout?

    Dumpster size depends on the volume and type of debris you're removing. Typical home cleanouts involve furniture, household junk, and renovation waste. A-1 Roll-Off Rentals provides sizing recommendations based on your specific project to avoid overpaying or needing a second delivery.

  • How long can I keep a dumpster on site?

    Rental periods are typically flexible and based on your project timeline. Longer projects can arrange extended rental terms. At A-1 Roll-Off Rentals, our owner-operated approach allows direct communication to adjust pickup dates as your Baton Rouge project evolves.
  • What's the benefit of using an owner-operated dumpster company?

    Owner-operated companies provide direct accountability, personalized service, and faster communication compared to large corporate providers. You work with the decision-maker from quote to pickup. A-1 Roll-Off Rentals offers this hands-on approach throughout Baton Rouge and surrounding communities.
  • Do dumpster rentals work for storm cleanup in Louisiana?

  • How do I prepare my property for dumpster delivery?
