What materials require approval?
Heavy or specially handled items — concrete, soil, shingles, appliances, mattresses, and tires — need review before approval. List them in your quote request so the local rental company can confirm before delivery.
Why weight matters
Dense materials reach the included weight quickly. See weight limits and overage fees.
