dumpstore is a new online search engine for dumpster rental services that came to Edmonton in 2021. The same way websites like Skyscanner and Expedia help customers compare and book flights and car rentals, dumpstore lets customers compare and book dumpster rentals in Edmonton, and other Canadian cities.  

dumpstore is a Calgary-based company that entered the dumpster rental market in 2021, during the height of the pandemic. Their unique approach combines customer convenience with a mission to support small, local businesses. By simplifying the process of comparing and booking dumpster rentals, they aim to make an often-overlooked service more accessible and transparent.

dumpstore addresses a common frustration: the lack of an online presence and streamlined booking systems among dumpster rental companies. Their platform allows customers to compare prices, reviews, and services online, saving time and effort.

Unlike larger corporate platforms, dumpstore actively supports small, local dumpster rental businesses by listing their services for free. This levels the playing field and ensures customers can discover smaller, often more affordable providers.

Transparency is a key strength of dumpstore. Customers can see upfront costs and reviews for various providers, fostering trust and reducing surprises during the rental process.

dumpstore is setting up collaborations with landfills, municipalities, and haulers to minimize waste and pollution. While these initiatives are still in development, their commitment to sustainability resonates with environmentally conscious customers.

dumpstore actively seeks feedback from users to improve their services. Their openness to suggestions and plans for features like order tracking show their dedication to evolving based on customer needs.

As a self-funded local startup, dumpstore operates without the pressures of shareholders or venture capitalists. This allows them to prioritize solving customer problems over maximizing profit margins.

Using ordinary bins for disposing of roof shingles and concrete is not advisable as it may cause loading problems. And if you find yourself in this scenario, lucky you, as Save On Bins Inc. (SOB) is here to help.

Among the dumpster rentals in Edmonton, SOB is the only one with dumpsters specially made for collecting large quantities of shingles and small concrete. We think these can come in handy for repairing roofs or driveways.

Moreover, SOB has 12 yds, 15 yds, and 20 yds of dumpsters in store, which are separately available for $355, $375, and $415 plus GST. 

Meanwhile, SOB’s rental rate is pricier than others because clients can rent the dumpsters for up to seven days, which is longer than most companies. We think this feature is handy for projects with lingerie schedules.

SOB has been in dumpster rental services since 2007. In our books, a company with over a decade of operation is a positive sign that it has satisfied its clients consistently.

Most of its patrons we spoke with are satisfied with its customer service, which they describe as punctual, responsive, and accommodating. 

For instance, one even remembered how the staff quickly accepted their short-notice request for dumpsters on a late weekend night.

However, SOB has some shortcomings–it does not offer junk removal. With the lack of it, clients may have to dispose of their garbage by themselves or hire another contractor to do the job. 

Although it is only a minor detail, we feel the absence of that feature can make things less convenient for clients.

Bye Bye Junk (BBJ)  is one of the companies in Edmonton that you can go for if you need to rent dumpsters. It has been operating for seven years, giving us enough confidence that it has been providing satisfactory services to its clients.

Apart from dumpster rentals, BBJ is also available for junk removal. But apart from that, what stood out for us was its tree and hedge pruning services, as similar companies do not have this particular service.

BBJ has three branches spread throughout the city. It is a pro in our book, as clients can conveniently choose the nearest office based on their area, giving them quicker customer service.

Meanwhile, its dumpsters have three sizes: 12 yds, 15 yds, and 20 yds, which you can rent for $259, $279, and $329 plus GST, respectively. For its surcharge, BBJ charges an additional $55 per ½ ton of garbage.

We also want to share that BBJ has the cheapest base rate and additional fee compared to the companies we reviewed. 

Aside from pocket-friendly rates, its customers are satisfied with it. These clients praise BBJ’s staff for being responsive, friendly, and punctual.

However, we spotted a few complaints of customers receiving incorrect quotations once after the job. Although rare, we think BBJ is commendable for responding to these complaints and providing a thorough explanation and resolution.

Mr. Bins Dumpster Rental (MBDR) is a garbage hauler company that Edmontonians can go to should they need to rent dumpsters. Operating for 12 years since it started in 2007, its lines are open for 12 hours a day every week.

Meanwhile, MBDR’s dumpster sizes range are 12 yds, 15 yds, and 20 yds. Upon close inspection, we found that each cost $300, $350, and $400 plus GST, respectively.

On the same note, we think it is worth sharing that MBDR’s surcharge is worth $15 for an extra day of dumpster rental, while $89 per ton of additional weight.

And similar to Save On Bins Inc., MBDR can also provide shingle bins for clients renovating or remodelling their roofs.

Although its repertoire is nothing unusual, the three days standard rent duration that MBDR offers is what we think is its edge. Clients who need dumpsters for a few days, such as those that do general cleaning, may see this offer as a win-win.

However, MBDR falls short of being unable to provide junk removal services. For us, the lack of the said feature significantly affects the convenience that clients can potentially get.

Nevertheless, MBDR has consistently satisfied its clients because of its punctuality and speedy response to immediate orders. Also, we found positive comments on how the staff is hands-on with their requests about pick-up and drop-off locations.

Edmonton Junk Removal & Garbage Bin Rentals, where do we even begin? From the moment our junk dilemmas crossed paths with their services, it was as if the clutter gods had smiled upon us.

Firstly, let’s talk about efficiency. Our initial call was met with a prompt response, and within hours, they delivered one of their pristine bins to our doorstep. The speed at which they operate is almost like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat – quick and mesmerizing.

Quality-wise, we were pleasantly surprised. Our bin arrived not only on time but in pristine condition. No unsightly dents or rust, which was a relief considering the nature of their business. It’s safe to say; our junk found a luxurious temporary home.

Cost-wise, Edmonton Junk Removal & Garbage Bin Rentals offers a service that doesn’t break the bank. Their pricing is as transparent as their bins are clean. No hidden fees or surprises – just straightforward, budget-friendly rates. It’s like they have a degree in making your wallet smile.

Now, let’s talk about the actual junk removal process. It’s almost like they have a sixth sense when it comes to disposal. They swoop in, effortlessly collect our mess, and vanish into the distance. We’ve never seen our junk disappear so quickly. It’s almost magical, really.

Their professionalism was a breath of fresh air in the cluttered world of waste management. Polite and courteous, their team handled our questions and concerns with grace and expertise. We felt like we were in the company of waste wizards.

We’d be remiss not to mention their eco-friendly practices. Edmonton Junk Removal & Garbage Bin Rentals goes the extra mile to ensure that waste is disposed of responsibly and sustainably. It’s like they have a green thumb when it comes to environmental consciousness.

However, they can get busy during peak days. We advise booking them ahead of time.

Younger companies can always offer something on the table. And if you prefer supporting budding businesses, perhaps Oil City Bins Inc. (OIB) is a perfect partner for renting dumpsters.

Like most dumpster rental companies, you can choose from the three dumpster sizes that OIB has. For $279, $309, and $339–which we think is not relatively costly–you can rent its 12 yd, 15 yd, and 20 yd dumpsters, respectively.

On the same note, should you need more time to take care of your disposables, OIB charges an additional $10 for its dumpsters and $89 for each extra ton.

Aside from cheap and upfront pricing, the customers of OIB that we spoke with are satisfied with how timely and courteous its staff were. Many who ordered a next-day drop-off were surprised that they accommodated them quickly.

But despite those praises, we noted that OIB has a few cons. We found a few instances wherein its staff had miscommunications with customers, resulting in mistakes in dumpster drop-off dates.

Meanwhile, OIB started operating in 2017, making them younger than other dumpster rental companies. But despite that, we find it remarkable that it is one of the few in its league with an A+ rating from Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Having more than the usual number of options with dumpsters is always a good thing. And if that is what you are looking for in your dumpster rental contractor, we think Ecobins Inc. would be a perfect fit for you.

Like Oil City Bins, Ecobins is also a budding company; albeit younger, as it only started operating in 2019.

Upon inspecting its repertoire, we think that Ecobin’s plus factor lies in the number of its dumpster size. With a total of five sizes ranging from 10 yds, 12 yds, 15 yds, 18 yds, and 20 yds, which clients can get for $269, $289, $349, $369, and $419 plus GST, respectively.

We also like that Ecobins provides more options for clients concerning the rent duration of dumpsters. Customers can choose whether to lease the bins for three, seven, or 14 days.

But above those, Ecobin’s stand-out factor is because of the yard bags that clients can use as an alternative for dumpsters. From 3 yds, 5yds, 9yds, to 12 yards, these bags could come in handy if you are doing small projects or cleanup for your home.

Additionally, Ecobins has a yard bag specially made for collecting drywalls. It is also worth sharing that it has junk removal services.

Compared to most companies offering dumpster rental, we think Ecobins offers more selection to its clients in terms of size and variety.

But that is not the only thing Ecobins has in store, as its clients are also satisfied with the quality of its customer service. Most of them stressed that its phone lines are responsive while the delivery team is on the clock.

Despite those, Ecobins has a minor flaw: its services are unavailable on Sundays, unlike most dumpster rental companies that operate for the whole week.

Iconic Junk Removal is a dumpster rental and junk removal service provider based in Edmonton, Alberta.

Working with them is never a hassle as they emphasize the careful placement of bins to prevent any damage to customers’ driveways or properties during the delivery and pickup process.

This attention to detail will surely make your experience more than pleasant.

Another reason why we like them is their two bin rental options. You can choose between a 12-yard or 15-yard bins, providing flexibility to accommodate various project sizes.

Apart from all of these, what’s nice about them is how they demonstrate their commitment to eco-friendly practices by attempting to donate unwanted items to local non-profits and ensuring proper disposal of all items. Their zero-waste culture promotes recycling and responsible waste management.

While Iconic Junk Removal offers two bin sizes (12 and 15-yard), some customers may require larger bins for significant clean-up projects. The company could consider expanding their selection of dumpster sizes to cater to a broader range of needs.
