Avoiding Dumpster Rental Scams – Important information about how to SAFELY secure a dumpster rental.

Quick Disposal takes great pride in providing professional, safe and reliable dumpster rental services. Unfortunately, we have become aware of some disturbing scams targeting our industry and we want to inform our current and potential new customers of how to safely secure a dumpster rental.

These scams are quite easy to fall victim to so it is our goal to educate you about common scam tactics and share with you the red flags that you should be aware of as an unsuspecting consumer. We urge you not to fall prey to deals for “cheap dumpsters” or deals that sound too good to be true. Here are some helpful tips when researching and securing your dumpster rental.

Verify the company’s legitimacy. Check to see if the company is listed with the Better Business Bureau and make sure that they have a professional website presence that provides a local business address, phone and contact method. Do they have high star ratings on Google? When searching for dumpster rentals, avoid adding the word “cheap” to your dumpster rental search – this is a common search term that scammers use to attract consumers.
Always deal directly with the company. When you call them, ask specifics about dumpster rental FAQs—how to choose the right size dumpster, can they supply a list of items that are not allowed, what are the tonnage limits, etc. If they can’t answer any of these types of questions in a professional manner, buyer beware!
Avoid unsolicited offers, “too good to be true” quotes or pressure tactics. If offers are presented with a sense of urgency or they only require a small down payment at the time of offer, these are classic warning signs that you are dealing with a scam situation. You should never engage with someone who requests only partial payment or who quotes a very attractive price only to add additional fees or an increased rate after securing your commitment and payment. Often times, these may be third-party listings or intermediaries.
Use only secure payment methods. Transactions should only be complete payment methods through secure platforms such as credit cards or online payment gateways that offer protection against fraudulent charges. Avoid payments through untraceable methods like gift cards or wire transfers.
