Dump trailer questions
Before you load it
How much fits in it?
The bed holds about 7 cubic yards level, or around 9 heaped under the tarp. Weight is the real limit: a yard of wet dirt is around 2,500 lb, so three yards of dirt fills the payload while the bed still looks half empty. Shingles run about 250 lb per square.
Where do I dump it?
Metro Waste Authority's Metro Park East Landfill in Mitchellville and the Metro Transfer Station in Grimes both take trailer loads. Fees are by weight and are paid at the scale. We will send you the current fee sheet with your confirmation.
Can I leave it loaded overnight?
Yes, on a daily or weekend rental. Tarp it, lock the coupler, and keep it on private property. You are responsible for the trailer and the load until it is back with us.
What if the battery dies?
The lift battery charges from your truck through the 7-way plug while you drive, and there is a charger plug on the tongue for a wall outlet. If it will not lift, call us before you force anything.
