Dumpster Rental FAQ

We offer six dumpster options: 15-yard, 20-yard, and 30-yard roll-off dumpsters for general waste, plus specialized 10-yard clean dirt disposal, 10-yard mixed load disposal (standard weight allowance), and 12-yard concrete disposal dumpsters. The 15-yard is perfect for small projects like garage cleanouts, the 20-yard is ideal for medium renovations, and the 30-yard is best for large construction projects. Our specialized dumpsters are perfect for dirt, soil, concrete, and heavy material projects. Learn more: /dumpster-sizes

Consider your project type and volume. A 15-yard dumpster holds about 3-4 pickup truck loads, a 20-yard holds 4-6 loads, and a 30-yard holds 6-8 loads. For reference, a 15-yard dumpster is 14.5' × 7.75' × 4.67' (L × W × D). Our team can help you choose the perfect size for your project. See /dumpster-sizes and /how-to-choose-dumpster-size

Yes, a standard couch will typically fit in a 10-yard dumpster, but it depends on the couch size and what else you're disposing of. A 10-yard dumpster measures approximately 12 feet long by 8 feet wide by 3.5 feet deep. Most sofas are 6-8 feet long, so they'll fit lengthwise. However, if you have multiple large items or a lot of other debris, you may want to consider a 15-yard or 20-yard dumpster for more space. For a single couch or a few pieces of furniture, a 10-yard dumpster should work. Contact us to discuss your specific items and we'll recommend the right size.

For furniture removal, the size depends on how much furniture you're disposing of. A 10-yard dumpster can typically hold 2-3 large pieces of furniture (like a couch, mattress, and dresser). A 15-yard dumpster works well for a room full of furniture (5-8 pieces). A 20-yard dumpster is ideal for multiple rooms or an entire house cleanout (10-15 pieces). Keep in mind that furniture takes up space quickly, so it's often better to choose a slightly larger size than to need a second dumpster. Contact us with a list of items and we'll recommend the perfect size.

Our 15-yard dumpster is 14.5' × 7.75' × 4.67' (L × W × D), the 20-yard is 17.08' × 7.54' × 5.00' (L × W × D), and the 30-yard is 22.0' × 7.92' × 6.0' (L × W × D). All dumpsters are roll-off containers designed for easy loading and unloading.

Dumpster rental costs vary based on size, rental duration, and location. Our 15-yard dumpsters start around $300-400, 20-yard dumpsters around $400-500, and 30-yard dumpsters around $500-600. This typically includes delivery, pickup, and disposal fees. Get an instant estimate: /dumpster-calculator or request a quote: /freequote

For most projects with significant debris, dumpster rental is typically cheaper than junk removal. Dumpster rentals provide better value when you have multiple items, ongoing projects, or need time to fill the container. A 15-yard dumpster rental starts at $299 for 7 days, while junk removal typically costs $200-$400 per truckload. If you need multiple pickups, dumpster rental becomes significantly more cost-effective. However, for single-item removal or very small amounts, junk removal may be more convenient. We can help you determine which option makes the most sense for your project.

Dumpster rental is usually cheaper for projects with substantial debris or ongoing work. A dumpster gives you 7 days to fill it at your own pace, while junk removal charges per truckload. For example, a 20-yard dumpster rental starts at $349 for a week, while junk removal typically costs $200-$400 per pickup. If you need 2-3 pickups, the dumpster rental saves money. However, for single-item removal or very small amounts, junk removal may be more convenient. The best choice depends on your project size, timeline, and debris volume. Contact us for a free comparison quote.

Junk removal services typically charge $150-$500 per truckload, with most companies charging $200-$400 for a standard pickup. Pricing depends on volume, item types, and location. Many junk removal companies charge by the truckload or by volume, with additional fees for heavy items, stairs, or difficult access. For comparison, a dumpster rental often provides better value for larger projects, as you get 7 days of use and can fill it at your own pace. Contact us to compare costs for your specific project.

The most affordable way to get rid of junk depends on your situation. For large amounts of debris or ongoing projects, dumpster rental is typically the most cost-effective option. Our 15-yard dumpster starts at $299 for 7 days, giving you time to fill it completely. For smaller amounts, you might consider: 1) Donating usable items to charity, 2) Selling items online, 3) Taking items to a local transfer station yourself (if you have a truck), or 4) Scheduling a single junk removal pickup. For most homeowners with multiple items or renovation debris, dumpster rental provides the best value. Contact us for a free quote to see what works best for your project.
