Dumpster Rental in Washington Heights & Inwood
Washington Heights runs on pre-war apartment buildings — six-story elevator buildings and walk-ups where a cleanout means moving a household's worth of contents to the curb. The blocks are steep, the curbs are full, and everything up here is a street placement needing a DOT permit. We plan the spot in advance, chock and board containers on the hills around Fort Washington Avenue, and coordinate timing with your super or property manager.
Building requires a certificate of insurance? Standard up here — tell us the building's requirements when you book and the COI arrives before the truck does.
