Sizing & Pricing

What size dumpster do I need?+
We use 15-yard roll-off dumpsters — the ideal size for residential driveways (about 4-5 pickup truck loads). For bigger projects, we deliver multiples or swap out as you fill them:

Small Project (15 Yard) — $299: Garage cleanouts, single-room remodels, yard cleanup
Medium Project (30 Yard): Kitchen remodels, roof tear-offs, large cleanouts
Large Project (45 Yard): Whole-home renovations, construction, commercial projects

See our full size and pricing guide.
How much does a dumpster rental cost?+
Small Projects start at $299 flat rate — that includes delivery, pickup, dump fees, 1 ton (2,000 lbs) of disposal, and . Medium and Large projects are quoted based on your scope. Request a quote or call 833-386-7813. No hidden fees — ever.
Are there any hidden fees?+
No. Your $299 Small Project rental covers everything: delivery, pickup, disposal up to 1 ton. The only additional charges are:

Extra time: $25/day extension
Over 1 ton: $100/ton overage

We tell you the total cost before we deliver. No surprises.
Are there weight limits?+
Each dumpster includes 1 ton (2,000 lbs). If you go over, the overage rate is $100/ton — we weigh at the disposal facility and send you the ticket. Most single-room cleanouts and yard projects stay under 1 ton.

Rental Period & Pickup

How long can I keep the dumpster?+
Your rental includes a 24-hour period. Need more time? Extensions are just $25/day. Call us before your rental period ends and we’ll extend it — no hassle. Most customers keep it 1-3 days.
How do I schedule pickup?+
Call us at 833-386-7813 when you’re done loading. We’ll schedule pickup promptly — usually within 24 hours.
What if I fill the dumpster before my project is done?+
We offer same-day swap-outs. We’ll pick up the full dumpster and drop off an empty one so your project keeps moving. Call us and we’ll coordinate the timing.
How long does delivery take once I book?+
Most deliveries happen within 2-4 hours for same-day orders arranged by phone before noon. Next-day delivery is always guaranteed. We’ll call you 30 minutes before arrival.

Materials & Restrictions

What can I put in the dumpster?+
Most household, construction, and yard waste is accepted: furniture, appliances (non-Freon), lumber, drywall, roofing shingles, concrete and brick (weight limits apply), carpet, general junk, and landscaping debris.
What cannot go in a dumpster?+
Hazardous materials are prohibited: paint, chemicals, oil, tires, batteries, Freon-containing appliances (refrigerators, AC units), electronics, medical waste, and flammable liquids. When in doubt, call us at 833-386-7813.
Can I put concrete or heavy materials in the dumpster?+
Yes. We handle concrete, brick, block, stone, and asphalt. Your rental includes 1 ton — overages are $100/ton. For heavy-debris-only loads (like a concrete patio demo), call us for a custom quote since weight adds up fast.
Do you handle the disposal?+
Yes. We haul everything to licensed county disposal facilities (Hillsborough, Pasco, or Pinellas depending on your location). You never visit the landfill.

Placement & Permits

Where will the dumpster be placed?+
Typically on your driveway. We can also place on yards, parking lots, or job sites. Tell us about your placement needs when you book. We use under every dumpster to protect your surface.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?+
No. We place under every dumpster on every delivery — it’s included in every rental at no extra charge. This protects concrete, pavers, and asphalt from scratches and marks.
Do I need a permit?+
If the dumpster is on your private property (driveway, yard), no permit is typically required in Hillsborough, Pasco, or Pinellas counties. Street or right-of-way placement may require a permit from your city. We can help you determine if one is needed.
Can you deliver to a narrow driveway or tight space?+
In most cases, yes. Our 15-yard dumpsters are compact enough for standard residential driveways. If you have a narrow driveway, circular drive, or gated community, let us know when booking and we’ll plan the best approach.

Debris / Material Types

Here’s what each type of load covers. Heavy materials have their own dumpsters and limits. You’ll choose your material type in the booking form below.

🏠Household Items

Most projects fall under this category. This can include a mixture of solid waste items (household, construction, yard waste, etc.) in the same dumpster. Heavy materials have their own categories below and would still require a separate dumpster due to weight restrictions.

🚧Construction Debris / Contractor

Most commercial projects fall under this category. This can include a mixture of solid waste items (household, construction, yard waste, etc.) in the same dumpster. Heavy materials have their own categories below and would still require a separate dumpster due to weight restrictions.

🏚️Roofing Shingles

Due to weight restrictions, we can provide a 15 yd dumpster for roofs up to 15 square. Anything over 15 square would require two or more dumpsters on site. Please text or call 833-386-7813 for availability.

🌳Lawn Debris or Trees

Lawn and yard debris — grass, leaves, brush, branches, palm fronds, shrubs and trees. Trunks and large limbs should be cut down small enough to lie flat in the dumpster so it can be safely tarped. For stumps or anything oversized, please text or call (833) 386-7813 first.

⬛Concrete

Concrete is extremely heavy. Due to weight restrictions, we can only provide a 15 yd dumpster filled MAX one-third of the way for a total of 5 cubic yards MAX. Concrete only — no other trash, roots, sticks, branches, grass, or mixed debris in the dumpster. Please text or call (833) 386-7813 with additional questions.

🟫Dirt

Dirt and soil are extremely heavy. Due to weight restrictions, we can only provide a 15 yd dumpster filled MAX one-third of the way for a total of 5 cubic yards MAX. Dirt and soil only — no sod, roots, sticks, branches, grass, or mixed debris in the dumpster. Please text or call (833) 386-7813 with additional questions.
