DAPS Dumpster and Junk Removal Services

DAPS Dumpster and Junk Removal Services has one of those reputations you see a lot in the local junk/dumpster world: when it’s clicking, folks call it a **10/10 great experience** and say the guy’s **the real deal**—and when it’s not, it can go sideways fast.

On the good side, the repeat-use crowd talks like contractors talk. **Fantastic company to work with**, **easy to deal with**, shows up **prepared**, and they don’t just drop a box and disappear. Gerald Lofton’s review reads like someone who’s actually run jobsites: they’ve hired DAPS **multiple times**, for **renting their dumpsters** and for **moving some things themselves**, and he says they’re **equipped and stay prepared to handle bizniz’**. That’s the language of “they’ve got the gear, the crew, and they can pivot when the pile turns into a mess.”

But the bad reviews aren’t nitpicks—they’re operations issues. One customer scheduled a **12 yard dumpster** at **$300**, got told the day before that the address was “out of service area” even though the address was already provided, then got hit with **$350 for increased distance**, and then—day of—was told they weren’t coming because it “was not worth his time.” That’s not “ran late,” that’s a breakdown in scheduling, service area confirmation, and follow-through. And another review straight up calls it **Unprofessional. Unorganized. Unapologetically bad.** Harsh, but you don’t write that because a driver missed a turn.

So what’s the real working style here? DAPS seems capable and hustle-forward when they want the job and the route makes sense. Yet they can also make last-minute calls that leave you scrambling. You good with a small operator vibe where you need to confirm everything—address, distance, day-of timing—twice? Do you have a backup plan if they decide it’s not worth the run?

If you’re in their lane and they commit, people clearly like working with them. But I’d treat it like any outfit that runs lean: lock down the details upfront, get pricing clarity in writing, and you’ll usually find out quick whether you’re getting “real deal” or “don’t waste your time.” That swing tells you what stands out most about the operation.
