What customers say

Real reviews from St. Louis customers

Excellent service from start to finish! The Bin There, Dump That team responded quickly, were very kind and professional, and made the whole process easy. They were flexible with scheduling and very helpful with our service needs. Highly recommend if you need a reliable dumpster service!

Michelle S. is the representative for our business. She is the best. I had a huge problem with an overage charge that wasn't even our trash waste container. She took care of it, problem solved. Hopefully you are lucky enough to have her for a Representative.

Ryan was fantastic to work with. Clear pricing, great communication, and the dumpsters arrived exactly as promised. I strongly recommend this company if you need a rental. They even volunteered their time during storm cleanup. A truly solid local business.
