## The honest read

PurpleDumpster.com rents dumpsters, and its website says each one is removed automatically after a 7-day rental period, with extra days or an earlier removal chosen when ordering. Its listed service area includes Ansonia, Branford, Bridgeport, Cheshire and Derby. Google shows 4.5 stars from 203 ratings.

A recent customer used a dumpster for a deck rebuild and said the driver worked with them on placement and on protecting the driveway. A recent customer who needed another week left a message over the weekend and said a woman from the office called first thing Monday morning to confirm. A recent customer emptying a home for a sale named Andrea in dispatch. A recent customer finished early and said the company accommodated an early pick-up.

A 2026 customer said a dumpster ordered online at 4pm on a Thursday showed up at 5:55am the next morning, and was out of the driveway by 8am on the Monday pickup that customer scheduled. A 2026 customer ordered a 15 yard dumpster online and said a tracking link came for both the delivery and the pickup. A 2026 customer said the company could deliver the same day for a garage clean-out. In 2025, an r/Connecticut commenter wrote that Purple Dumpster rented a 20 yard dumpster for $549 that day and that they had used it a couple of years earlier with no issues.

A recent customer said a special allowed one ton, that an additional $72.20 was charged, and that the load could not have weighed a ton; that customer suggested going to the weight station when the dumpster is weighed. A recent customer renting for the third time said a 20 yard dumpster came to a $1200 bill and that the weight limit is half of other companies'. A recent customer said they ordered and paid for a service and were then charged again. A 2024 customer said an advertised rental totaling $572 was followed by another $808 charge for a weight of 5.5 tons of shingles and underlayment, and that staff threatened a lien when that customer disputed it. A 2022 customer said the company charges for every 1000 lbs over the weight limit.

**Strengths:**
- A next-morning delivery — a 2026 customer said a 4pm order arrived at 5:55am
- Driveway care — a recent customer said the driver worked to protect the driveway
- An easy rental extension — a recent customer said the office called Monday to confirm
- Online booking — a 2026 customer got a tracking link for delivery and pickup

**Concerns:**
- A weight overage charge — a recent customer was charged an extra $72.20
- A disputed $808 charge — a 2024 customer said staff threatened a lien
- A repeat charge — a recent customer said they were charged again after paying
- A $1200 bill — a recent customer said a 20 yard dumpster cost that
