When planning a project, timing is everything—including when it comes to ordering your dumpster rental. At Guido’s Services Inc., we understand that project schedules are critical regardless if you are doing a house clean-up or starting a renovation or another construction project, and we’re here to help make sure your dumpster arrives when you need it. To avoid unnecessary delays, we advise our customers to plan ahead. Here’s what you need to know about getting your dumpster rental on time and tips for a smooth delivery.

 

Timing of Your Dumpster Delivery

Our delivery window typically ranges from 24 to 72 hours after placing an order. Please note that online orders requested with less than 72 hours’ notice cannot be guaranteed. While we work hard to accommodate each request promptly, various factors can impact delivery timing, such as local traffic patterns, dumping line wait times, and daily order volume. While we work hard to accommodate each request quickly, multiple factors can impact this timing, such as local traffic patterns, dumping line wait times, and the order volume on any given day.

To ensure you receive your dumpster exactly when your project requires, consider the following:

  • First-Come, First-Served Basis: At Guido’s, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis. When demand is high, waiting times may extend slightly, so it’s best to schedule as early as possible.
  • No Specific Time Slots: Although we prioritize efficiency, we do not set specific delivery times. Deliveries are influenced by real-time factors beyond our control, like road conditions and disposal facility wait times. Therefore, precise delivery time guarantees are difficult to uphold.

Plan Ahead for Smooth Project Flow

Tip: If your project begins early in the day and your team will be on-site first thing, schedule your dumpster for delivery the day before (business day). This strategy ensures your crew will have access to the dumpster right when they need it, preventing downtime and maximizing productivity.

What Happens if Things Don’t Go as Planned?

At Guido’s Services, we understand that unexpected issues can sometimes disrupt plans. Whether it’s a vehicle delay or an unexpected maintenance issue, our commitment is to get your dumpster to you as soon as possible. In the rare event that something like a truck breakdown delays a delivery, we’ll work hard to get back on track quickly. We strive to minimize the impact on your project by rerouting other trucks or adjusting schedules to ensure you’re taken care of.

Final Tips for a Seamless Experience

To help us serve you best, be sure to:

  1. Order Early: The more advance notice we receive, the easier it is for us to secure a delivery slot within your preferred timeframe.
  2. Be Ready for Flexibility: Since exact timing cannot be guaranteed, being flexible will help in managing expectations and ensuring the project runs smoothly.
  3. Contact Us With Questions: If you’re unsure about when to schedule, or if you have a tight timeline, our team is always ready to offer guidance and answer any questions.
