Terms of Service

Agreement

These terms govern your use of heenyandcodumpsterrental.com and the rental services provided by Heeny & Co Dumpster Rental Hartford, 192 Ledyard St, Hartford, CT 06114. By booking a container you agree to them. Last updated September 4, 2026.

Quotes and pricing

Quotes are based on the information you provide about the debris type, volume, weight, location and rental duration. A quote is a flat rate that includes delivery, pickup, the agreed rental period and disposal up to the stated tonnage allowance. Charges may apply in addition where: the load exceeds the agreed tonnage allowance; the container is kept beyond the agreed rental period; prohibited materials are present; the load is filled above the top rail and cannot be legally transported; or a scheduled delivery or collection cannot be completed because of blocked access (a dry-run).

Prohibited materials

You may not place in any container: wet paint, solvents, adhesives, tar or other liquid or semi-liquid waste; motor oil, fuel, engine coolant or other automotive fluids; pesticides or herbicides; asbestos-containing material; propane tanks, aerosols or any pressurised cylinder; batteries of any type; medical, biohazard or radioactive waste; hazardous waste of any kind; contaminated soil or clean fill; whole tires; railroad ties or other creosote-treated timber; or appliances and other white goods containing refrigerant. Most of that follows the statutory definition of construction and demolition waste in Connecticut, at CGS §22a-208x, which excludes asbestos, clean fill, hazardous waste, radioactive material, and liquid or semi-liquid material including adhesives, paints, oils and tars. Connecticut operates no waste-ban list. It designates mandatory recyclable items under CGS §22a-241b and RCSA §22a-241b-2 and prohibits mixing them back in once they have been separated, which on a renovation job means corrugated cardboard and scrap metal must be separated from other building material wastes; those materials must be declared before loading and will be routed for recycling. The state’s only outright disposal bans are electronics, under CGS §22a-636 since 1 January 2011, and grass clippings, under CGS §22a-208v. CT DEEP guidance is that most construction waste may be commingled into a single roll-off and taken to a materials recovery facility or transfer station, and that is how mixed construction and demolition loads from this company are handled, rather than direct to disposal. Vegetative debris such as maple, oak, ash, birch and white pine limb wood is accepted only as a separate clean load bound for composting or grinding, never mixed into a construction load, because it is handled and priced differently at the gate. Leftover paint belongs at a PaintCare drop-off site, of which there are about 157 in Connecticut under CGS §§22a-904 and 904a; other household chemicals belong at the Metropolitan District facility at 125 Maxim Road; and mattresses are taken free under the state stewardship programme created by Public Act 13-42. Asbestos is regulated in Connecticut by three separate agencies: the Department of Public Health takes the abatement notification, on ten days’ notice, and licenses the trades; CT DEEP issues the $300 Special Waste and Asbestos Disposal Authorization; and the Department of Administrative Services Office of the State Fire Marshal licenses demolition contractors. The state regulation defining a regulated facility expressly includes residential property including single family homes, so there is no owner-occupied exemption, and a demolition notification is required whether or not asbestos is present. Disposal rules change — confirm current requirements with CT DEEP and the City of Hartford if you are unsure.

If prohibited material is found in a container you are responsible for the additional handling, disposal and any penalties incurred.

Placement, access and property

You are responsible for ensuring safe and legal access to the placement location and for obtaining any permit required for the container. Connecticut has no fire-department permit for a dumpster, but it does have a placement rule: under IFC 2021 §304.3.3, as adopted by the 2022 Connecticut State Fire Safety Code, containers with an individual capacity of 1.5 cubic yards or more shall not be stored in buildings or placed within 5 feet of combustible walls, openings or combustible roof eave lines. Every container we supply exceeds that capacity, so the five-foot clearance applies wherever it stands. For placement in a public street or way, the City of Hartford Public Works Permit Division issues an Obstruction Permit for temporary obstruction of the public right-of-way, at $50 plus $0.03 per square foot per day under the City’s published rules and specifications, with a $10,000 performance bond and a certificate of liability insurance; the Permit Division can be reached on 860-757-9970 and Hartford 311 on (860) 757-9311. You are equally responsible for any condominium association rule, deed restriction or property owner approval that applies. Containers must also be kept clear of hydrants, intersections, fire escapes and building egress. Locates on private property are your responsibility — call Call Before You Dig on 811 before anything is dug, as required by CGS §16-345 et seq. You must disclose known hazards including buried utilities, sewer, water and storm laterals, an oil tank or its fill and vent lines, a septic system, a bulkhead or basement wall under repair, a detached garage, shed or porch roof the hoist arm must clear, a gravel or dirt pad that is soft or rutted after a thaw, a shared or narrow driveway or alley approach, snow and ice banked across the approach, recently poured or already cracked concrete, and overhead service drops or low maple and oak limbs. Driveways, aprons and slabs that have moved with frost heave, or that are under repair, must not be cut, cored or drilled without first establishing what is inside them; that work is yours, not ours.

We use protection boards under container wheels and rails on residential deliveries as a matter of course. Even so, the placement of a heavy container on any driveway, gravel or dirt pad, alley or paved surface carries inherent risk. Where you direct placement on a specific surface, you accept that risk. We are not liable for damage to driveways, lawns, kerbs, aprons, porch steps, walkways, wells, irrigation or underground utilities arising from placement you have requested or approved.

Loading and safety

Do not load material above the top rail of the container. A heaped load cannot be covered, cannot be legally transported, and will not be collected until it is levelled. Distribute weight evenly, and bear in mind that broken concrete, brick, block, plaster and foundation spoil reach legal transport weight in a container that still looks half empty. Given the winter weather here you are also responsible for keeping the load below the rails so it can be covered while the container is on site — load heavier debris over lighter, bag insulation, break down cardboard, and cover anything that will take on water, snow or ice or blow out in a high wind, and expect us to secure or collect containers ahead of a forecast storm. Snow, ice and rainwater add weight to an open container, and a container that has filled may need to be dug out or pumped before it can be moved. Do not stand or climb on the container. Keep children and animals away. Containers must not be moved, tampered with, or have doors opened by anyone other than our personnel.

Rental period and collection

The standard rental period is stated in your quote. Contact us when you are ready for collection. If we cannot access the container on the scheduled collection date because of parked vehicles, locked gates or other obstruction, a dry-run charge may apply.

Payment

Payment terms are as stated in your quote. Account customers are invoiced under agreed terms. Overdue balances may attract charges as permitted by law.

Cancellation

Cancel or reschedule with reasonable notice at no charge. A charge may apply where a truck has already been dispatched to your address.

Ownership and title

Containers remain our property at all times. Title to material placed in a container passes to us on collection. Do not place items of value in a container expecting to retrieve them.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any rental is limited to the amount paid for that rental. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including project delay costs.
