When starting this house project my son and brother suggested a dumpster. I thought it might be too big. But we ordered one from Mudek and they brought it out and placed it right where we wanted- safely and carefully. When project was done, we scoured the 50 year old house for other past construction project leftovers and filled it easily. Mudek sent a reminder text they were coming for pick up and arrived as noted. Good working with them.

Great service. A total gut job on my kitchen and primary bathroom and needed two 20 yard dumpsters. Pickup and drop off was very quick after requesting. Best pricing out of the 5 places I called. No extra charges based on weight. I needed the dumpster put in a tight spot behind my garage and they had a shorter taller dumpster and good driver to make it work. We’ll definitely use them again if needed.
