Terms of Service

Agreement

These terms govern your use of carverandsonsdumpsterrental.com and the rental services provided by Carver & Sons Dumpster Rental Columbia, 1725 Broad River Rd, Columbia, SC 29210. By booking a container you agree to them. Last updated September 2, 2026.

Quotes and pricing

Quotes are based on the information you provide about the debris type, volume, weight, location and rental duration. A quote is a flat rate that includes delivery, pickup, the agreed rental period and disposal up to the stated tonnage allowance. Charges may apply in addition where: the load exceeds the agreed tonnage allowance; the container is kept beyond the agreed rental period; prohibited materials are present; the load is filled above the top rail and cannot be legally transported; or a scheduled delivery or collection cannot be completed because of blocked access (a dry-run).

Prohibited materials

You may not place in any container: wet paint, solvents, adhesives or other liquid waste; motor oil, fuel, antifreeze or other automotive fluids; pesticides or herbicides; asbestos-containing material; propane tanks, aerosols or any pressurised cylinder; batteries of any type; medical, biohazard or radioactive waste; whole tires; appliances and other white goods, including anything containing refrigerant; railroad ties or other creosote-treated timber; contaminated soil; or any material restricted from disposal under South Carolina law, including used oil and lead-acid batteries. Electronic devices such as televisions, monitors and computers are routed to recycling rather than landfill and are not accepted in a mixed load. South Carolina bans yard waste from sanitary landfills, so vegetative debris such as grass, leaves, brush and limb wood — loblolly pine, water oak, live oak, sweetgum and pecan — is accepted only as a separate clean load bound for a composting or organics facility, never mixed into a construction load. Pressure-treated lumber must never be burned and open burning is restricted or prohibited in many municipalities here. Leftover paint, solvents, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals and other household chemicals belong at a Richland County or Lexington County household hazardous waste drop-off; there is no paint take-back programme operating in South Carolina. Disposal rules change — confirm current requirements with SC DES if you are unsure.

If prohibited material is found in a container you are responsible for the additional handling, disposal and any penalties incurred.

Placement, access and property

You are responsible for ensuring safe and legal access to the placement location and for obtaining any permit required for placement in a public street, alley or right-of-way, as well as any homeowners association, subdivision covenant, deed restriction or property owner approval that applies. Locates on private property are your responsibility — call SC 811 before anything is dug. You must disclose known hazards including private wells and well heads, septic tanks and drain fields, irrigation lines, buried utilities, sewer and storm laterals, a detached garage, shop or pole barn roof the hoist arm must clear, a gravel drive that is soft or rutting after rain, a narrow driveway, brick street or alley approach, recently poured or already cracked concrete, ground still saturated after heavy rain, and overhead service drops or low water oak and live oak limbs.

We use protection boards under container wheels and rails on residential deliveries as a matter of course. Even so, the placement of a heavy container on any driveway, lawn, alley or paved surface carries inherent risk. Where you direct placement on a specific surface, you accept that risk. We are not liable for damage to driveways, lawns, kerbs, aprons, porch steps, walkways, wells, irrigation or underground utilities arising from placement you have requested or approved.

Loading and safety

Do not load material above the top rail of the container. A heaped load cannot be covered, cannot be legally transported, and will not be collected until it is levelled. Distribute weight evenly. Given the local weather you are also responsible for keeping the load below the rails so it can be covered while the container is on site — load heavier debris over lighter, bag insulation, break down cardboard, and cover anything that will take on water or blow out, and expect us to secure or collect containers ahead of forecast severe weather. Do not stand or climb on the container. Keep children and animals away. Containers must not be moved, tampered with, or have doors opened by anyone other than our personnel.

Rental period and collection

The standard rental period is stated in your quote. Contact us when you are ready for collection. If we cannot access the container on the scheduled collection date because of parked vehicles, locked gates or other obstruction, a dry-run charge may apply.

Payment

Payment terms are as stated in your quote. Account customers are invoiced under agreed terms. Overdue balances may attract charges as permitted by law.

Cancellation

Cancel or reschedule with reasonable notice at no charge. A charge may apply where a truck has already been dispatched to your address.

Ownership and title

Containers remain our property at all times. Title to material placed in a container passes to us on collection. Do not place items of value in a container expecting to retrieve them.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any rental is limited to the amount paid for that rental. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including project delay costs.
