Ordered a container, a week later when job started all employees show up to begin demo. No dumpster. Called and the rude response was "Yeah well we don't just have them sitting around" As a company why would you not communicate the information from the beginning. Rather you just said we will get it to you. Customer service lady has the personality of a thumb tac.

Rip off! The owner allows some people to get truck loads of salvage for free and tries to charge others 75.00$ per salvage door. I would give 0 stars if I could.
