👉 Book Now to reserve your dumpster today with Grand Rapids’ most transparent pricing model.

Not every project fills a dumpster the same way—and not every customer should have to pay the same flat rate. That’s why Neighborly Hauling created our “Pay for What You Use” pricing. It’s simple, fair, and designed for both homeowners and contractors across Kent County.

Here’s why this model makes sense—and why it saves you money.

The Problem with Flat-Rate Dumpster Pricing

With traditional dumpster rentals, everyone pays the same price whether their bin is half-full or overflowing. That means light users often subsidize heavy users.

Example:

One customer does a light garage cleanout and barely fills their bin.
Another fills their dumpster to the brim with demolition debris.

Both pay the same flat rate—even though their usage is completely different.

At Neighborly Hauling, that didn’t sit right with us.

A Smarter, More Transparent Pricing Model

Our pricing matches what you actually use. Every rental starts with:

1 day of use
1 ton of included weight

From there, you can scale up based on your project. Need 2–3 days? Add them affordably. Need more weight? We charge fairly by the pound.

Most homeowners stay under the included tonnage, while contractors with heavier jobs can scale up without penalty. Everyone pays for their real use—not someone else’s.

Why This Matters in Kent County

Neighborly Hauling works directly with Kent County transfer stations and the Waste-to-Energy facility. Certain items (like mattresses, tires, or CRT TVs/monitors) carry county-imposed fees. We pass those charges directly to you—without markups.
