What customers say

Real reviews from Birmingham customers

I used Call-N-Haul over. the Christmas holidays and could not have asked for better help. The dumpster arrived exactly when promised, and placed where it was needed. I would suggest anyone moving, renovating, or just needing a Spring Cleaning to contact this company. Excellent.

Delivered same day. Nice dumpster with rear opening door. The only minor issue was I didn’t realize that if you want it for more than a week you have to notify them. They did come to pick it up on day 7 but issue was quickly resolved. Will definitely be using again.

We own a deck and fence construction company and we only use dumpster daddy! Hands down best in the business! They are the only ones we trust with our projects. From start to finish they are easy to use and they care about their customers.
