Dumpster Overage Charges

Understand why dumpster overage charges occur and how to avoid future fees.

How This Change Impacts You

Your dumpster size represents the volume of waste that we can safely collect and haul from your dumpster. An overage charge is only added to your invoice if your dumpster is overfilled. Moving forward, if you overfill your dumpster, your overage charge will be a flat rate amount per overfilled dumpster.

What is My New Flat Rate Overage Charge

Flat rate overage charges will vary by operating subsidiary. If you never overfill your dumpster, you will never receive an overage charge. If you overfill your dumpster, your new overage charge rate will appear on your invoice for that service. If you have any questions or concerns about this change to your account or would like to request your new flat-rate amount, please call Customer Service at 1.888.787.5060.

How to Avoid Overage Charges

Do not overfill your dumpster. If you regularly incur overage charges, you should contact your local Republic Services representative and request a review of your account for service optimization. Increasing your dumpster size or service frequency is the best way to avoid overage charges.
