Quick action and a great service

We rented a 30 yard dumpster on 3/3/2005. The worker dropped off a 20 yard one by mistake. Upon notifying the office, Alli helped us quickly to resolve the issue. We are very happy for the swift action from Sourgum. I highly recommend this company for their professionalism and honesty.

They happen to be the worst service ever imagined. They didn’t keep their appointment. We had a mistake with the address which we addressed. They ended up charging me a fee for the mistake. Then took their time in issuing me a refund. Avoid if possible

Thank you for your feedback, Andrew. We strive to provide timely and accommodating service in real-time situations.

We understand there was an issue with the original delivery date, and since you were unable to accept the rental at 1 PM on 3/3, it was rescheduled for the morning of 3/4. Additionally, we initially received an incorrect delivery address for the site. After speaking with you upon arrival at the incorrect location, we were able to correct the address and reroute the delivery the same day, despite it being 45 minutes away.

We understand your frustration regarding the negotiated trip fee refund. Please note that these refunds typically take about a week to process and receive approval.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to improving your experience in the future.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Rustam. We want to assure you that our weight calculations are based on official weight tickets issued by state-regulated facilities. These facilities follow strict regulations and employ certified scale masters to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the weighing process. A copy of the weight ticket was initially provided upon the completion of your rental on 2/19/25 and a photo of your completely filled rental was sent to you 2/21/25. You were provided a 500 lb credit as well for the cardboard box in your rental when you received it as a courtesy.

Our goal is to provide clear and transparent information to our customers, helping them understand the factors that contribute to their final bill.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out. We are dedicated to addressing your concerns and look forward to providing a better experience in the future.

Hats off to the driver

The driver delivering the container was very careful to avoid damage to my driveway. Delivery and pick up was seamless.

This is the worst company I’ve ever…

This is the worst company I’ve ever worked with. Not just the worst Dumpster company. The worst Company in general. Horrible customer service. Just bad business.
1. I ordered a dumpster 3 days in advance and it still came a day late. I had to pay demo crew to do nothing because they have a dumpster to load.
2. I requested an early morning dumpster swap and they should up that later that afternoon. Again I was paying the demo and wasted time and money.
3. After my last dumpster they continued to charge my card for the most random stuff. One charge was because they couldn’t take the dumpster because it was too muddy. I’m not responsible for where they dropped the dumpster and the weather. They should have checked the forecast before they came out to pick up the dumpster.
4. I ordered and paid for a 15 yard dumpster and they dropped off a 10 yard dumpster. I was told could have an increase in weight since they sent the smaller dumpster and was still charged for overage.
5. I still working with my bank to get them to stop charging my card for random stuff. I’ve paid over $2600 in the last month with company and they are still trying to run my card.

Thank you for providing feedback on your experience with us Cam. We strive to provide a clear and transparent communication with our customers. We appreciated your understanding with the initial delay in delivery as we are not able to control lines and traffic we experience during the day. In regards to your AM request will always try to accomodate requests but are at the mercy of outside factors and advise that delivery may be between the hours of 6am- 6pm. We are currently investigating the charges with our billing team and were looking to speak with you regarding them to gain more insight on the issue. Please reach out to Support@sourgum.com as we have attempted to reach out earlier today via phone. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

This company nothing but a broker( middle man) they double charged you for everything even the dump fee at the landfill so if you need a dumpster then looking for a local rental company so you don’t have to pay double

Thank you for your feedback, Hoi. At Sourgum, transparency is a top priority, and we strive to keep our customers informed about all pricing and potential fees in our order confirmations. Overage charges from the disposal facility are something we must unfortunately pass along when they occur. We will review our order confirmations to ensure they highlight this information more clearly. To that end, we have a price match guarantee to ensure that we are providing not only excellent service but also the best price. Should you email a valid quote to Support@sourgum.com we would be more than happy to review and match for you.

I would rate zero stars if possible

I would rate zero stars if possible. I ordered a dumpster on Wednesday for Thursday morning. It’s Friday morning, and I have no dumpster. I can’t reach anyone who has an answer. First, it was, “the cable broke. It’s going to be a few hours late.” Then it was “the truck is in the shop.” Now it’s just radio silence with no one picking up the phone.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Fred. We acknowledge and appreciate your understanding when our truck had to be serviced and it would cause a delay in your project.

We understand your frustration with the delay in our schedule and provided an extended rental period and discount to your order this morning when we were notified of the delays.

We value your business and would be happy to discuss this further if you have any questions or concerns.
