Where
will you put my TUB?
TUBS are delivered with a crane for convenient placement options.
Click here
for a picture of the TUBS crane. The crane can lift the TUB
approximately 15 feet from the truck. Therefore, we can lift the
TUB into your yard or driveway up to 15 feet from the street or
alley. Or, if you choose to have the truck drive on your driveway
for closer placement, we simply require you to sign a damage waiver.
All TUBS are placed on your property so no permits are required
for placement. We do not place our TUBS in the street. Click the
following link for a copy of our damage waiver, pdf
version or html
version.

Will
it damage my driveway?
TUBS drivers always take normal precautions while picking-up
and delivering TUBS. However, delivery trucks are large and heavy,
and the condition of your driveway along with changing weather conditions
can make your driveway, sidewalk or yard vulnerable to damage. Click
the following link for a copy of our damage waiver, pdf
version or html
version. The TUB itself is flat-bottomed and weighs about 500
pounds so it should not cause damage. If left on the grass or driveway
for much more than a week, it could kill the grass or cause a rust
stain depending on the time of year. However, this damage might
be avoided by placing 2x4’s under the TUB. We do not provide
2x4's, but our driver will place your TUB on them if they are provided
for us.

Can I
move my TUB?
No! We will do our best to place your TUB in a convenient spot
as you request. Once we have placed it, you may not move it. Moving
the TUB causes wear and tear, and if it is moved, we may not be
able to reach the TUB with our crane for a safe pickup.

Is
there a weight limit?
Heavy materials such as concrete, dirt, brick, rock, sand, asphalt
and sod must not fill the TUB more than 21 inches up from the bottom.
We cannot lift a TUB that is filled more than 21 inches up from
the bottom with these heavy items for safety reasons. You may put
lighter materials on top of the heavy materials up to level full
for complete use of the TUB.
back to top
Can
I fill my TUB to the top?
All materials must be inside the TUB, nothing over the top or
out the sides. Safety is our main priority when hauling your TUB.
We are required to cover the dumpster for hauling and cannot have
anything flowing over the top. Heavy materials such as concrete,
dirt, brick, rock, sand, asphalt and sod must not fill the TUB more
than 21 inches up from the bottom.

times are not guaranteed, and Fridays often fill up early due to
