I needed a dumpster for some home cleaning and minor renovation work I was doing. I had seen signs posted on other properties for Green Monster Container (GMC), a in-town small business, so I figured they were reputable. I did do some cost-comparison shopping online before calling, but pricing was pretty much the same all-around and went with GMC because they are a local business.
I called in the morning because their website says if you call early enough and they have the size dumpster you need, they can get it to you same-day in all probability. I never expect "same day" anything from anyone.
I spoke with Jay who was very pleasant and professional. He asked me a few basic questions, determined what size I'd probably need, and gave a price. He also said he had the dumpster available and could have it to me in a few hours. I was floored! I expected next day at the earliest!
Jay himself arrived as promised a few hours later with the dumpster. In person, Jay is just as approachable and professional as he is on the phone. He even placed wooden slats under the dumpster to minimize the potential of harming my driveway. Classy. I paid my rental fee, got my receipt, and started in on my projects.
A few days later, the dumpster was ready to be taken away. I called in and spoke with a lady (I can't remember her name, but it turned out to be Jay's wife) informing her the dumpster could be picked up. She said she'll have someone out in about a day or two. That was fine.
I was away when the dumpster was removed, but when it was, I'd have never known I had a dumpster. No residual trash or marks/dents left behind on my driveway.
All around, it was a great experience with GMC. Professional, affordable, and a sheer pleasure to do business with. My neighbors a few weeks later used GMC for their dumpster needs which was great to see. Also a friend who lives in the next town over (within GMC's coverage area) asked about my experiences and will be calling GMC for his dumpster rental needs. Supporting a smaller business is what it's all about and GMC sure earned the great reputation and business! read more
