  • A dumpster-only model and a combined model suit different owners. This page says which is which.

Dumpster Dudez is a dumpster rental franchise; VETS is a junk removal brand that runs dumpster rental as one of three service lines. This page sets their franchise costs and fees side by side, each from the brand's own current Franchise Disclosure Document by item, and is straight about which owner each model suits.

The numbers, by FDD item

Why owners choose VETS over Dumpster Dudez

Dumpsters are one of VETS's three service lines. These are the reasons owners chose the wider model.

  • Dumpsters, plus two more ways to use the same trucks. Junk removal crews and commercial waste work run alongside roll-off rental, so the equipment and the customer list work harder.
  • One owner, the whole metro. A VETS franchise is an entire metro area as defined in Item 12, with no carved-up sub-territories and no second VETS branch competing for the same jobs.
  • National accounts you do not have to win yourself. VETS holds relationships with multi-site property management groups, and the work in your metro is assigned as set out in the FDD.
  • CentCom behind you. The corporate support team runs national accounts, receivables, the technology platform and training, and stays on the line after opening. Item 11 of the FDD sets out exactly what VETS provides.
  • Veteran-founded, led from the front. Built by an Army Engineer Officer from a single Charlotte truck, and the Charlotte corporate store is still the template every territory runs from.

Questions to ask both brands

  1. How many containers and which trucks does Item 7 assume, and what does a new owner start with?
  2. Where do containers get emptied, at what cost, and who holds the relationship?
  3. What is the territory in Item 12?
  4. How many owners left in the last three years (Item 20), and may I call them?

A person replies, usually within a business day

Not an autoresponder sequence, and not a call centre reading from a script.

Fourteen days with the FDD, minimum

Federal law gives you at least that long before anything can be signed. We treat it as a floor, not a target.

We will tell you if it is not a fit

Both directions. We are deciding too, and we would rather say so early than waste a year of yours.

PENDING COUNSEL. This is not an offer to sell a franchise. An offer is made only by a Franchise Disclosure Document, and only in states where VETS is registered or exempt.
