💰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: 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 a 1-day (24-hour) rental. Medium and Large projects are quoted based on your scope. Request a quote or call 833-386-7813. No hidden fees — ever. See our complete fee disclosure.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Your $299 Small Project rental covers everything: delivery, pickup, disposal up to 1 ton. The most common additional charges are:
Extra time: $25/day extension
Over 1 ton: $0.05/lb ($100 per ton) overage
Every charge we are able to bill is listed on our Additional Fees & Special Situations page — including the rare operational situations most companies never publish. 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 $0.05/lb ($100 per 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 $0.05/lb ($100 per 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.
