DO YOU SERVE MY AREA?
For dumpster rentals, our service area map can be found on our About page.
Click the “Book Now” button and enter your address, and our system will determine whether your specific site is within our standard or extended service area. If your delivery location is within our extended service area, the applicable fee will be displayed when a dumpster is added to your cart.
For full-service waste disposal, we serve similar areas but can travel farther if the project is large enough to warrant the travel expense. Call 706-982-3909, and we will do our best to meet your needs.
WHAT TYPES OF JUNK REMOVAL DO YOU HANDLE?
No job is too big or small; we are grateful for them all! We handle anything from single-item pickups to whole estate cleanouts to old mobile home removals. Below are examples of some of the types of projects we do:
- Garage / Attic / Basement Cleanouts
- Probate / Estate Cleanouts
- Hoarder Cleanouts
- Tenant Eviction Cleanouts
- Yard Cleanup & Debris Removal
- Construction / Remodel Cleanup & Haul Away
- Storage Locker Cleanouts
- Realty / Previous Tenant Cleanouts
- Going Out of Business Cleanouts
- Furniture Removal
- Mattress Removal
- Appliance Removal
- Property Cleanups
- Mobile Home / Camper / Car Removal
Like any of our projects, we can provide the dumpsters if the customer prefers to load the debris, or we can do the labor and haul the waste. In some cases, we bring 2 trucks and run both to complete the job as quickly as possible. Rubbish doesn’t stand a chance when our customers decide they are done with debris!
HOW CONVENIENT IS YOUR SERVICE?
Check Mark Junk provides debris disposal options both for those who want to load a dumpster and those who want us to handle the heavy lifting. We can pick up a single item or clean out entire estates or properties.
For large cleanouts, we often bring two trucks and provide both waste hauling and dumpster rentals simultaneously. No matter the scale of the project, we offer our customers guidance, flexible scheduling, prompt dumpster delivery and pick-up, and multiple payment options.
At CheckMarkJunk.com, customers can utilize an easy online booking system for hassle-free dumpster management. Because we are owner-operators, customers who contact us interact with the same people who will be onsite completing the work and who are wholly dedicated to customer satisfaction.
DO YOU OFFER FIRST-TIME CUSTOMER SUPPORT?
Absolutely! As a woman-owned business in an overwhelmingly male-dominated field, Check Mark Junk is well aware of how intimidating dumpster and waste industries can be for first-time customers, especially for women.
For dumpster rentals, we are happy to offer detailed consultations, placement advice, and usage guidance, ensuring first-time renters have all the information needed for a smooth experience.
If it turns out a dumpster rental is not the best fit (as sometimes is the case for areas where there is not a suitable location for a dumpster or where dumpsters are not allowed), we can seamlessly and conveniently set up an appointment for debris disposal using our dump truck. There is no need to start over, searching for a new company; since we offer both services in house, your project can still be quickly and efficiently completed without missing a beat.
CAN I SPEAK TO A LIVE PERSON?
Absolutely! Call or text 706-982-3909 to speak directly to an owner-operator. If we are out of phone service or working on a job, we will call or text you back as soon as we are able.
HOW TRANSPARENT ARE YOUR PRICES?
Our pricing is transparent and competitive, with no hidden fees.
With convenient 24/7 online booking for dumpster rentals, customers see all up-front costs in their cart.
Our waste removal pricing is based on location, type of debris, and how much space the debris takes up on the truck. Quotes include our labor to load the truck, fuel, dump fees, and mileage. All quotes, potential fees, and services are disclosed before we arrive for your appointment.
Whether you need the labor for your junk to be removed quickly or need time to go through things yourself, we have options for you! Call 706-982-3909 to speak directly to an owner-operator who will walk you through every step of the process, ensuring a simple, stress-free experience.
IS YOUR SERVICE ENIVRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?
Check Mark Junk prioritizes sustainability by recycling and donating as much of the waste collected as possible, reducing landfill impact and promoting environmental responsibility. We support donating to the Victory Home thrift store or other local charities near our project locations.

WHAT SIZES OF DUMPSTERS DO YOU OFFER?
Check Mark Junk offers a variety of dumpster sizes to suit different needs, including 7-yard, 10-yard, 15-yard, and 20-yard containers. Visit our Dumpsters page for more photos and more information.
If you don’t have labor, we also offer full-service debris removal where we bring the truck and provide the labor to complete your project quickly and efficiently.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RENT A DUMPSTER?
The cost depends on the location where the dumpster will be delivered, the duration of the rental, and the type of waste being removed.
Visit our Dumpsters page for current base pricing.
The up-front online booking charge covers the delivery and pickup of the container plus any add-ons the customer chooses.
Other additional charges may occur in situations such as:
- weight over the included amount
- items that require us to pay an additional fee (i.e. mattresses) are placed into the dumpster
- prohibited items are put into the dumpster
- the dumpster is blocked or overfilled and therefore cannot be picked up when the truck arrives
- customer requests extra dumps or other add-on services
- damages to the dumpster.
DO I NEED A PERMIT FOR MY DUMPSTER DELIVERY?
If the dumpster is placed on private property like your driveway, you typically do not need a permit. However, if you plan to place the dumpster on public property, such as the street, you may need a permit from your local city, town, or county.
We recommend checking with your local regulations to determine if a permit is necessary.
DOES SOMEONE NEED TO BE PRESENT AT THE TIME OF SERVICE?
It is preferable that an adult is on site for dumpster delivery, particularly if there are situations such as locked gates, very specific placement instructions, loose animals, or very tight spaces.
However, if special circumstances such as these don’t exist, or they are communicated in advance, it is possible to drop off the dumpster without meeting anyone. If circumstances are such that the container cannot be correctly or safely delivered, a dry run fee will be assessed to cover our fuel and lost time costs.
Full-service debris removal can usually be done without the customer’s being onsite as long as we can access the location of the waste, and the customer has communicated to us the waste material to be removed. We provide a payment link for convenient remote payment once the rubbish is loaded and the project is completed.
WHAT CAN I PUT IN THE DUMPSTER?
You can dispose of most household and construction debris in our dumpsters. However, there are restrictions on some materials:
- Aerosols
- Antifreeze
- Asbestos
- Barrels or drums of liquid

IS THERE A MAXIMUM WEIGHT FOR THE DUMPSTERS?
Yes, the maximum weight for all our dumpster sizes is 4 tons. Putting more than 4 tons into the dumpsters puts the driver at risk of significant DOT fines for exceeding the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) for our truck, and it also causes stress on – and possibly damage to – our equipment.
We will not haul containers that are loaded over our GVWR.
If an overloaded bin causes our truck to go over the GVWR, we reserve the right to offload material to decrease weight and assess a fee for overloading. If unloading is not possible for us, we will also assess a failed trip charge plus extra day fees until the customer decreases the weight below the GVWR.
IS THERE A MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF THE DEBRIS INSIDE THE DUMPSTERS?
Our dumpsters should be loaded no higher than “Water Level” across the top rails. Please do not load above the “Maximum Fill Line” which is level with the tops of the rails that cap the container walls.
Overloaded containers prevent our tarp from closing properly, are unsafe to transport, and expose us to significant fines. We will not transport dumpsters that are filled over the top rail or that contain hazardous items.
If you load above the Maximum Fill Line, we reserve the right to offload the materials which are above the top rail and assess a fee for overloading. If unloading is not possible, we will also assess a failed trip charge plus extra day fees until the items are removed.
HOW LONG CAN I KEEP THE DUMPSTER?
Check Mark Junk has a standard rental periods are typically for 3 or 7 days. As long as there is availability, you can extend your 3-day or 7-day rental up to 3 extra days for $25 per day.
