Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about renting a roll off dumpster.

What size dumpster do I need?

Most home cleanouts fit in a 10 or 15 yard dumpster. Remodels and roofing jobs usually need a 20 yard, and large construction or commercial projects often call for a 30 or 40 yard roll off.

How long can I keep the dumpster?

Standard rentals include a 7 day period. If your project runs longer, we can extend the rental so you never feel rushed.

What can I put in a roll off dumpster?

Household junk, furniture, yard waste, construction debris, drywall, wood, roofing shingles and most general waste. Hazardous materials, paint, chemicals, tires and batteries are not allowed.

Do I need a permit?

If the dumpster sits on your driveway or private property, a permit is usually not needed. Placement on a public street may require a permit from your local authority.

Will a dumpster damage my driveway?

We place wooden boards under the container to spread the weight and protect your driveway surface.

Can I put yard waste in a residential dumpster?

Yes. Branches, leaves, soil in small amounts and other yard debris are accepted in most residential dumpsters.

What is the best dumpster for a garage cleanout?

A 10 or 15 yard dumpster usually handles a full garage or basement cleanout.

Do you offer ongoing commercial dumpster service?

Yes. Businesses can schedule regular swaps so a fresh container is always on site.

What size dumpster is best for a business?

Most businesses use a 20 or 30 yard roll off, depending on the volume of waste produced.

Can you handle office or retail cleanouts?

Absolutely. We provide containers for office furniture removal, store remodels and tenant turnovers.

Can I put concrete in a construction dumpster?

Heavy materials like concrete, brick and dirt are accepted but must be loaded only to the fill line due to weight limits.

Which size is best for roofing debris?

A 20 yard dumpster handles most residential roof tear offs. Larger roofs may need a 30 yard container.

Do you swap dumpsters on active job sites?

Yes. We can swap full containers for empty ones to keep your crew working without delays.

What items are prohibited?

Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos, tires, batteries, propane tanks and medical waste cannot go in a roll off dumpster.

What happens if I overfill the dumpster?

Debris must stay level with the top of the container. Overfilled dumpsters cannot be transported safely and may need to be unloaded.

Is there a weight limit?

Yes. Each dumpster size includes a weight allowance. Going over the limit may result in an additional fee.
