What customers say

Real reviews from Reading customers

Excellent scheduling website, timely communications, and flawless delivery and retrieval of the dumpsters. When we underestimated how quickly we could fill up a 15yd dumpster, Anthony was there later in the same day to swap it out with an empty 20yd dumpster. Unmatched customer service!

Frankie was very responsive to getting a dumpster here to cleanup from my flood damage. I was finally able to declutter my home after over 20 years which was a big relief. He is friendly and professional when dealing with him. I would use his services again next time!

Nick came and did a dumpster switch for us at j&m roofing llc. It is less than ideal spot. Nick did a great job and was very consciences at make the switch jo smoothly. Very pleased with redbox lehigh valley
