Our History
Metropolis Disposal was created by the owners of Intracut, a sister company, over 20 years ago. They determined it would be more cost effective for its concrete cutting and demolition business to own its own roll off containers rather than rent from others
So they purchased one dumpster in 1998 to get started. They spun the company off into a rental business to fulfill residential and commercial haul away needs in the San Fernando Valley.
They quickly grew their number of dumpster container bins to accommodate numerous customers in need of multiple containers in various sizes at any given time.
Today Metropolis Disposal is one of the largest family-operated dumpster rental companies based in San Fernando Valley that services the Greater Los Angeles Area including Century City.
How It Works
Renting a Metropolis roll off container in Century City is fairly simple and can be summarized in 3 steps.
Step 1: Choose a container bin size. Customers must first choose what size container bin(s) they need based on the amount of garbage or debris they need to discard. We offer 3 sizes to accommodate small and large waste disposal needs. Once you’ve chosen your bin, we require a credit card to secure your delivery order.
Step 2: Select a delivery location and date. Customers need to decide where and when they want their container bin(s) dropped off. If you need to change your originally scheduled delivery date, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled date. After we drop off your container(s), you load it up at your own pace.
Step 3: Select a pick-up date. We rent our bins for a 7 day period. A $10 daily rental charge per bin will be billed beginning one week after delivery. Bins are not automatically picked up at one week. You must call to schedule a pickup and verify that the pickup was completed. Special pricing will be considered if you need the bin for an extended amount of time.
FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions about Metropolis Disposal roll-off services and dumpster rentals.
Price
How much is a roll-off container?
It depends on your location, bin size and content. Please call 1-800-650-6165 for a quote.
What types of payment do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express credit cards.
When do you charge my credit card?
We charge your card on the day we drop off your container.
Are there any extra charges?
If the bin needs to be relocated or cannot be picked up or delivered when scheduled due to customer error/mistake beyond our control, there will be a $100 per hour charge for the truck time. Extra charges apply if the container must be washed out or if concrete has dried and must be chipped out. There are also extra charges for large tree stumps.
10 yard bins that have any items besides concrete, asphalt, brick, block or dirt will be taken to landfill. Bins with concrete, asphalt, bricks, block or clean dirt without roots or grass can be recycled.
Weight
How many tons can I put in my rental bin?
The base price for a 40 yard bin includes four or five tons depending on the city (please call us to verify). The 25 yard bin includes four tons. If the weight exceeds these amounts, you will be charged an extra fee per ton up to 10 tons.
Bins must weigh less than 10 tons and cannot be loaded higher than the top of the box. Overweight bins will not be hauled.
How will I know how much the bin weighs?
If you are filling it with concrete and dirt, one cubic yard weighs approximately one ton, so a 10-yard bin weighs approximately 10 tons when loaded with inert material.
Time
What is the bin rental period?
We rent out bins for a seven day period. A $10 daily rental charge per bin will be billed beginning one week after delivery. Bins are not automatically picked up at one week. You must call to schedule a pickup and verify that the pickup was completed. Special pricing will be considered if you need the bin for an extended amount of time.
During my week’s rental, will you dump the bin and bring it back?
Our price includes using the bin on site for one week and dumping it once.
When can I get a bin?
Having 24 hours notice or more is always helpful. However, if you call in the morning, we can often deliver your bin that afternoon. Afternoon calls can usually get bins the next morning.
Materials
What am I allowed to put in the bin?
We never accept liquids or hazardous materials. Any found in the container will be returned at customer expense.
Be sure to select the right size bin for your project. The contents should not stick out the top of the bin. Heavy, inert materials such as concrete, dirt, bricks, should go only in a 10 yard bin.
Can I put tree stumps in the bin?
You may include tree stumps. However, there will be an extra charge to handle them. You can possibly save on extra charges by reducing the stumps to less than two feet in diameter.
What materials are considered hazardous?
Hazardous materials include: Electronic (e-waste), paint, oil, chemicals, petroleum products, asbestos, gardening products, automotive fluids, batteries, household cleaning products, medicines, light bulbs. There is an extra charge for tires. To dispose of hazardous waste see www.ciwmb.ca.gov or your city may provide hazardous waste collection.
Define inert materials.
Unable to move or act. Inert material includes dirt, concrete, rocks, sand, stucco, tile, bricks, blocks, asphalt, rebar, metal, etc.
How do you define non-inert materials?
Non-inert material includes grass, roots, sod, trash, drywall, wood, stucco with paper, asphalt shingles, plastic, green waste, etc.
Space
How much space do I need for the bin?
The amount of space needed will vary based on the area and site conditions (obstacles, gates, overhanging roofs, etc). The box is delivered on a ten-wheeled truck approximately 8 feet wide and 37 feet long. The roll-off container is 8 feet wide and 22 feet long.
Contact us and one of our team members can give you a more accurate answer based on your particular area.
Do I need a permit?
In most cities, you do need a permit to place the bin on the street. To get a permit, go to your city’s Public Works website. You do not need a permit if the bin is on your property. However, we require your signature in person or by fax to release us from any property damage. Be advised that an empty 2 ton bin and a full 8 ton bin can easily crack your driveway. Plywood may help avoid damage. Our drivers will not drop a bin where it would possibly harm a person or property.
