Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is vDumpsters ?

vDumpsters is designed to reduce the number of items being sent to landfill. The idea is simple - Instead of hiring a real dumpster for your unwanted items you create a virtual dumpster or "vDumpster" and upload your items for other people to search and claim. Recirculating in this way helps to reduce unnecesary landfill and has a positive effect on global warming.
