First they were two days late with the bin, called to cancel they said $150 cancellation fee. Went against my better judgement and waited another 6 hours for the bin to arrive. The bin looks like its been through the apocalypse, total eyesore (not a huge deal but just saying). Then I see an $800 charge on my card, I call to find out what it is and they say its a 'safety deposit'. Was not told about this but okay, still went ahead with it. Here's the best part. I'm in the process of renovating a home. We rented a bin from a reputable company in week 1, filled it to the BRIM with brick, concrete, lots of drywall, wood framing etc. Total weight? 2.5 tons - 5000lbs. In week 2 we needed a second bin for minor clean up, thought it would be nice to have a bin out front rather than making trips to the dump, this company looked really cheap. BIG MISTAKE. Barely filled this bin to the halfway mark, mostly bushes some drywall, that cheap flimsy metal frame from the basement, miscellaneous garbage etc. Total weight? 7 Tons - 15,000 lbs!! The claimed I had 3x the weight of the first bin! Conveniently 15,000 lbs + bin rental fee works out to be just around the $800 'safety deposit' that they originally charged. I also didnt mention that it takes well over a month to get them to tell you the total charge and I still haven't even seen a weight ticket or an invoice. So to summarize, save yourself the hassle and go with a reputable company.
