Hippo Springfield Dumpster Rental customers describe easy online booking and timely deliveries, alongside a recent dispute over charges after pickup. The Springfield company offers dumpster rentals for homeowners, contractors and event planners in Springfield, Chicopee and surrounding towns. Its website advertises free estimates. The billing complaint is specific. In a May 2026 Google review, a customer who rented a dumpster with a two-ton allowance for a residential deck project alleges a $279.50 charge was made days after pickup without prior communication or authorization. The customer disputed a CFC removal fee, saying the dumpster contained wood and allowed household debris rather than an appliance. They also said they could not verify the final weight and received a $125 partial refund after threatening a credit-card fraud dispute. These are the customer’s allegations about that rental. Other customers describe different experiences with price and service. An August 2026 Google reviewer says they compared prices, booked online and received prompt email replies from Jeff. The driver communicated at delivery and sent photos to confirm the placement. A May 2026 reviewer reports online scheduling, a text on delivery morning and pickup as scheduled. Another customer writing that May praises prompt delivery and pickup and says pricing was clear, with no surprises. Google’s headline rating is 4.8 stars from 58 ratings. In a September 2025 review, Joanne H. said the driver placed the dumpster carefully where requested and the company allowed her to keep it beyond the quoted timeframe. She also praised quick phone and text responses and competitive pricing.
This was an incredibly easy process! I booked everything online and I communicated via email and received prompt responses from Jeff! I shopped around and it was also the best price as well! The driver communicated when he dropped it off and even sent photos to make sure it was in the right spot! Just amazing!
Very good experience! I was able to schedule online. They texted me the morning of my scheduled delivery to let me know they were on their way. Picked up as scheduled. The whole process was very easy and I would definitely recommend!
Warning: Fabricated "CFC" fees and zero weight transparency I am sharing this to warn others about the billing practices at Hippo (Western Recycling). I rented a dumpster with a 2-ton allowance for a residential deck project. While we did add some additional allowed household wood and debris to the load, the company processed an unauthorized charge of $279.50 to my credit card days after pickup without any prior communication. The Major Red Flags: • Fabricated "Appliance" Fees: They charged me a "CFC Removal Fee" for an appliance. There were absolutely no appliances, refrigerators, or AC units in that dumpster—only wood and allowed household items. • No Way to Verify Weight: They do not provide the "empty" weight of the dumpster or give you any means to verify the final weight before they charge your card. If they are willing to lie about the presence of an appliance to add a fee, you cannot trust their weight claims. • Unauthorized Billing: They kept my card on file and recharged it for these "extra" fees without my consent. I only secured a partial refund ($125) after I informed them I would be filing a formal fraud dispute with my credit card company. Be very careful with this company and check your receipts for "phantom" items. I do not plan on doing business with them ever again.
I had a great experience with this dumpster rental service. They were prompt with delivery and pickup, the pricing was clear with no surprises, and the staff was professional and helpful throughout the process. The dumpster was clean and the right size for my project, which made everything much easier. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and hassle-free waste removal solution. Thankyou Hippo Springfield Dumpster.
I highly recommend Hippo. From placing the initial order they were very friendly and easy to work with. They had the dumpster to me exactly when I needed it. The driver was so polite, friendly and helpful. Carefully setting it down where we asked and without any issues. They were kind enough to leave the dumpster for longer than the quoted timeframe which was a bonus. Their customer service respond via phone or text immediately. I will definitely be using their service again and high recommend them to anyone needing a dumpster. And their prices were very competitive. Sincerely, Joanne H.
