What customers say

Real reviews from North Charleston customers

Super easy to book the dumpster with this company. The driver was extremely professional calling both to deliver and pickup. This was an emergency cleanup which turned out to be a reoccurring rental with Smart Dumpsters. Happy we did business and here's to more in the future!

Very good trash removal, yard waste pickup, and customer service. All very prompt, efficient, courteous, and professional. This is also a special shout out to the crew that picks up yard waste on Mondays in the Legend Oaks area. Great job, guys! Keep up the good work.

We highly recommend them for your dumpster needs. They are very responsive and professional. We have been more than pleased with their communication from the owner and the drivers, to schedule or update pick-ups. And the quality of the service is unmatched.
