Dumpster Rental Contracts;

Trash dumpster contracts are one sided, written to protect the trash company, and can cost you money. When renting a trash dumpster there are some contractual clauses in the contract you should line-out, and some clauses you need to add.

I have the trash company's salesperson leave the contract with me to be faxed or mailed in.

I then line out the clause that states, "I the user am responsible for their equipment in the event it is damaged or stolen".

I line out the clause that says "I have to agree to rate increase without notice".

I line out the clause that says, "I agree to a multi-year term".

I add clauses that say:

"If a competitive lower rate is found during the contract period this contract may be canceled at users discretion if the competitive rate is not matched."

"This contract can be temporally suspended, or canceled with thirty days written notice, with no further payment obligation by the user, if the user's business is interrupted for any reason to include, fire, loss of lease, street repairs, or user, renter ceasing business operations at this location." (Substitute your name or business name for user)

Line out the unwanted clauses, add the new ones, and send the contract to the trash company. I have never had the changes prevent me from getting service. I have had to remind the trash company that the clauses were changed when adverse conditions caused me to make changes to the service that they did not like. It has saved me money!
