Overage Fee Definition

Definition

Overage fee is an additional charge applied when the weight of debris in a dumpster exceeds the included tonnage limit specified in the rental agreement. Overage fee in dumpster rental is calculated based on the extra weight, typically in increments of cost per ton. Overage fee incentivizes load planning and helps offset disposal and transportation costs for heavy or misjudged loads.
