Dumpster Rental Rules & Guidelines

Items Not Allowed in Our Dumpsters

The following items are not allowed in Alpha Team KC dumpsters unless specifically approved in advance. If prohibited items are found in the dumpster, additional charges of $75 per ton will be incurred.

• Concrete
• Rocks
• Dirt
• Gravel
• Bricks
• Shingles
• Lathe and plaster
• Stucco
• Refrigerators / Freezers
• Tires (without prior disclosure and payment — see the tire rules below)
• Hazardous materials including paint, gasoline, oil, chemicals, and similar items

We see everything that is dumped out. Hiding prohibited items at the bottom of the dumpster will not keep us from noticing. If we find these items at the dump, we will photograph the load to document what was inside.

Paint, solvents, chemicals, oils, and other hazardous materials require special handling. Kansas City residents can dispose of many household hazardous waste items at an approved HHW facility such as the one at:

Household Hazardous Waste Facility · 4707 Deramus Ave, Kansas City, MO

Need a container specifically for concrete or shingles? We offer dedicated concrete dumpsters and roofing dumpsters — call us to discuss the right option.

Do Not Overfill the Dumpster

The dumpster can only be filled to the top rim. Nothing can be stacked above the top edge or hang over the sides.

Per Missouri hauling requirements, items cannot extend above the rim. If the dumpster is overfilled, we may not be able to remove it. If we attempt pickup and items fall off, those items may be left behind — including anything neighbors or others added to the dumpster.

Not sure what size you need? Review our dumpster rental pricing and sizes before ordering.

Rental Time Periods

Standard rental periods are typically 1, 3, 7, or 14 days. Your rental period is confirmed before delivery.

Please call or text us when you are finished so we know when to come pick up the dumpster. We will not automatically show up and remove the dumpster unless pickup has been scheduled or confirmed.

In most cases, if we do not hear from you we will attempt to remind you that pickup is coming. Alpha Team KC reserves the right to pick up the dumpster at any time on the final day of the agreed rental period without notice.

At times, the dumpster may not be picked up exactly on the scheduled day due to weather or scheduling conflicts. You will not be charged for extra days unless an Alpha Team KC representative discusses it with you first.

Car Tire Rules

Car tires are now allowed, but you must disclose how many tires you have when ordering.

• Tires must be disclosed before delivery.
• The cost is $15 per tire when approved and paid in advance.
• Tires must be placed on top of the load — not buried inside the dumpster.
• Tires not disclosed, not paid for, or buried in the load may still be charged at $15 per tire.

Snow, Ice & Unsafe Driveway Conditions

The driveway or drop location must be clear of snow and ice before we can deliver or pick up a dumpster.

Commercial dumpster trucks do not handle winter conditions like a 4×4 vehicle. Even a thin layer of snow can cause a truck to slide, become stuck, or damage property — especially on sloped driveways.

For safety reasons, we may delay pickup or delivery until we confirm the truck can safely access the location. You will not be charged for extra rental time caused by unsafe weather conditions.

We may ask you to send a photo of the drop-off or pickup location before we dispatch.

Extra Charges

Extra charges may apply if any of the above rules are broken — including prohibited items, overfilling, undisclosed tires, unsafe loading, or other issues that create additional disposal or hauling costs.

Our goal is to keep your dumpster rental in Kansas City simple and straightforward. If you have any question about what can go in the dumpster, please contact us before loading.
