Dumpster Rental Guide

Frequently Searched Dumpster Questions
What dumpster size should I choose?
A 10-yard dumpster suits small cleanouts and bathroom remodels, a 20-yard fits flooring or large garage cleanouts, a 30-yard handles new construction and big renovations, and a 40-yard is for major demolition or commercial jobs. If you're unsure, describe your project and we'll recommend the right size so you don't overpay or run out of room.
What can and cannot go into a dumpster?
You can load general construction debris, household junk, wood, drywall, furniture, and yard waste. You cannot load hazardous materials, paint, chemicals, tires, batteries, refrigerants, or wet concrete unless arranged separately. When in doubt, ask us before loading — prohibited items can cause extra fees.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster?
If the dumpster sits on your private driveway or property, you usually don't need a permit. If it must be placed on a public street or sidewalk, most cities require a permit. We can tell you what's typical in your area and help you plan placement to avoid permit issues.
How long can I keep a roll-off dumpster?
Standard rental periods run 7–10 days, with extensions available by the day or week. For ongoing construction we can swap full containers for empty ones so work never stops. Let us know your project length and we'll build a schedule around it.
