Five-star service from start to finish

Five-star service from start to finish! The rental process was incredibly easy, and the customer service team was very helpful in recommending the right size for my project. The dumpster was delivered and picked up exactly when promised. Highly recommend for anyone needing a hassle-free experience!

Hi Nanqiang,

Thank you for your feedback — we’re sorry to hear the final cost didn’t meet your expectations. Transparency is very important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify.

As discussed in our private messages, the total cost was higher than originally quoted because the contents of the dumpster exceeded the included weight limit by 4.28 tons. We hope this helps clarify, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Sourgum was very trustworthy. They delivered the dumpster on time, gave us the time to load without feeling squeezed for time, and picked up right on schedule. Communication was great! I would highly recommend Sourgum for your junk removal, renovation needs or even spring cleaning. Certainly beats a bunch of trips to the dump. 5 stars for Sourgum!

Abundance of Unnecessary Emails/Texts

The actual service, driver pickup and return/swap out, is great to excellent. The amount of emails and/or texts received from Sourgum is ridiculous. There's no need for multiple emails and/or texts per single service. Nor is there a need for a payment reminder unless the payment is actually late, which has yet to happen, but here again receive multiple emails about upcoming payment due per single service. May not use Sourgum again if this practice is not discontinued.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your feedback, and we're glad to hear that your service experience was positive.

We apologize for the influx of automated communications. Our system sends an automated confirmation for each order and service request - including swaps - to ensure everything is properly scheduled and confirmed, and to allow our customers ample opportunity to respond to service confirmations and make any changes needed. That said, we understand how multiple notifications can feel excessive, especially when everything is running smoothly.

You can unsubscribe from email communications at any time using the link in the email footer. We appreciate you calling this out and will share the feedback with our team as we continue working to improve the customer experience.

On 2/17/26

On 2/17/26, I rented a 10-yard dumpster right before a big NJ snowstorm (when it was only supposed to be a rain event) for delivery on Monday, 2/23. The price was right and delivery was able to be scheduled quickly. Finding out Friday morning, 2/20, that it was going to be snow up to 9 inches, Sourgum easily rescheduled for Tuesday, 2/24. By Sunday, 2/22 - it was a blizzard and with only myself and my daughter to clear the driveway and a spot to park in the street, I contacted Sourgum to postpone delivery. Customer Service graciously suggested I put the delivery on 'hold' until I was confident the delivery could be made. Delivery was rescheduled for 3/2. The driver arrived by 7:40am, and was gone by 7:50am. The delivery was so smooth. Pick-up was 3/6 and I didn't have to be home for it. By 9:15am, the dumpster was gone.

I cannot stress enough my appreciation for the graciousness, the flexibility and the high-level of customer service that was given. They truly went above-and-beyond and made it so easy. I was beyond stressed over this and their willingness to work with me really helped alleviate my concerns. I cannot begin to tell you just how much I appreciate, not just the flexibility, but the patience they had with me. I am so grateful I went with Sourgum and will whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone who needs a dumpster rental. It would be foolish to rent a dumpster from anyone else.

We truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation — your vote of confidence means a lot to us! If you ever need another dumpster in the future, we’d love to help you out again.

We had a minor issue with a dumpster

We had an issue with a dumpster, but Sourgum made it right by us immediately, and handled it in a very professional way! We have rented close to a dozen times with them, and our experience has been great! We have a regular driver, Barry, who knows exactly where to place our dumpster, and is always very professional with our staff. We couldn't be happier! Michael

Bait and switch

Bait and switch. Liars, liars, liars. I ordered a dumpster for household items and then they charged me more than double the price because it contained "non-construction" items. I will be contacting the BBB. I should have suspected it from the start because of their scummy-sounding sales guy. Trying a little too hard. I don't need a friend that then turns around and gouges me.

Tim,

I sincerely apologize for the mix-up on our end. As we discussed today, we take full accountability for dispatching the incorrect container type, which led to the confusion surrounding the contamination charges.

I truly hope the resolution we reached — including reconciling the payment to reflect only the actual materials you disposed of — felt fair given the circumstances and helped restore your trust and confidence in our standards.

We have also escalated this matter internally and with our hauler partner to ensure corrective action is taken and that this does not happen again. Your feedback is extremely valuable and is helping us further strengthen our quality control processes moving forward.

Delivery time and pick up time is on point. Drivers are very polite and before taking departure, will ask me am I satisfied with the dumpster location before discharging.

Excellent customer service.
