What customers say

Real reviews from Dalton customers

Responsive, fast ,and communicative. texted when the dumpster was to be dropped off and picked up the night before. Clear about what is and isnt allowed in dumpster. Great rates and couldn't recommend this local business more if you need to rent a dumpster. Will be using them again if need be.

My company used EC Dumpsters for the first time in May 2024, and ive decided to continue using them because of my fantastic first experience. I used them in Calhoun, and today, they said they service Chattanooga, too, so I am using them on my Tennessee project, too.
