How do I know what size dumpster I need?
The right dumpster size depends on the scope of your project. Smaller dumpsters (10-15 yards) are ideal for garage cleanouts, small renovations, or yard waste, while larger dumpsters (20-40 yards) are better suited for major construction, roofing, or whole-home cleanouts.
Not sure which size fits your project? Give us a call and we'll help you choose the right container the first time.
What can I put in a dumpster rental?
Most residential and construction debris is accepted, including furniture, household junk, yard waste, and general construction materials. Some items require special handling or aren't accepted at all, such as concrete, dirt, brick, tires, batteries, paint, and other hazardous materials.
If you're unsure whether an item is allowed, ask our team before you load it — overloading a dumpster with restricted materials can result in additional fees.
How long can I keep my dumpster rental?
Our standard rental period is typically 7 days, which gives most customers plenty of time to complete their project. Need more time? Just let us know — we're happy to work with your schedule and offer flexible extensions when available.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster rental?
In most cases, no permit is required if the dumpster is placed on your own driveway or private property. If you need to place the dumpster on a public street or sidewalk, your city may require a permit.
We can help you determine whether a permit applies to your location before your delivery date.
What happens if I go over the weight limit?
Every dumpster rental includes a set weight allowance based on the container size. All loaded dumpsters are weighed at the disposal facility, and if the weight exceeds your included allowance, additional charges will apply.
To avoid overage fees, ask us about weight limits when booking so you can select the right size for heavier materials like shingles, dirt, or concrete.
