What areas in Fairfield County do you service for residential pickup and dumpster rentals?
A & G Carting provides service throughout Fairfield County and the surrounding southern Connecticut region, covering Stratford, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Trumbull, Shelton, Westport, Norwalk, and adjacent municipalities. Contact us directly to verify routing and delivery options for your particular street or neighborhood.What roll-off dumpster sizes are available, and how do I choose the right one?
Available containers include compact 10- and 12-yard units as well as 20- and 30-yard roll-offs suitable for projects of varying scope: 10–12 yard bins work best for heavy materials such as dirt or concrete, basement or attic cleanouts, and small bathroom remodels. 15–20 yard containers are appropriate for multi-room cleanouts, deck removals, carpet replacement, and roofing projects. 30 yard dumpsters accommodate whole-home renovations, large estate cleanouts, and substantial construction or demolition debris.Will a roll-off dumpster damage my driveway?
Roll-off containers can be positioned on private driveways with protective wooden blocking boards placed beneath the rollers and wheels. This distributes weight evenly and helps prevent asphalt indentations, cracking, and surface scratches. Safe delivery requires a flat, unobstructed surface clear of low-hanging branches and overhead wires.What items are prohibited from being placed in dumpsters or curbside trash?
Connecticut environmental regulations and transfer station rules prohibit the disposal of certain hazardous and restricted materials. Unacceptable items include wet paint, stains, thinners, and chemical solvents; motor oils, fuels, and automotive fluids; propane tanks, car batteries, and sealed pressurized containers; and asbestos or biohazard materials. Depending on local town transfer station guidelines, materials such as mattresses, tires, and appliances containing freon may require advance notice or incur specific disposal fees.How does dumpster pricing work, and are there any hidden fees?
Dumpster rentals follow a flat-rate pricing structure that includes delivery, pickup, a designated rental period of 7–10 days, and a specified tonnage allowance. Provided the container remains within the agreed weight threshold and does not hold prohibited materials, no unexpected charges or fuel surcharges will apply.How quickly can I get a dumpster delivered?
Same-day or next-day delivery is frequently possible throughout Fairfield County, subject to daily dispatch availability. Contacting us early in the morning increases the likelihood of same-day placement.Do I need a town permit for a dumpster in Fairfield County?
A town permit is not required when the container is positioned entirely on private property, such as your driveway. Placement on public streets, sidewalks, or town rights-of-way may necessitate municipal permits and the use of reflectors or cones, depending on the regulations enforced by your specific municipality's public works department.How high can I fill the container?
Material must be kept level with the dumpster's top rim. State regulations prevent trucks from transporting overloaded containers or debris piled above the wall line, as this interferes with proper securing of the safety tarp.How does residential curbside trash and recycling pickup work?
Weekly curbside service provides scheduled collection for standard household refuse and single-stream recycling. Containers should be positioned at the curb by 6:00 AM on collection day or the night before, with lids completely closed.Do you take bulk items or offer junk removal if I don't need a whole dumpster?
Curbside bulk pickup and on-demand junk removal services are available by appointment for oversized items such as couches, furniture, and appliances that exceed the capacity of standard trash containers.
