Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about renting a dumpster from Icon Dumpsters.

What size dumpster do I need?

For most residential projects like garage cleanouts, bathroom remodels, or small landscaping jobs, a 15-yard dumpster works great. Larger renovations, roofing projects, and multi-room cleanouts typically need a 20-yard. Major construction, commercial projects, or whole-home cleanouts may require a 30-yard. Use our size guide for help.

How much does a dumpster rental cost?

Our pricing is simple and transparent: a flat delivery fee plus $55 per ton of disposal. Most residential projects total between $250-$500. You only pay for what you actually throw away — we provide a dump receipt for full transparency.

How long can I keep the dumpster?

Our standard rental period is 7 days. If you need more time, just call us! We offer flexible extensions at reasonable rates. We know projects don't always go as planned.

What can I put in the dumpster?

You can dispose of most household items, furniture, appliances, construction debris, roofing materials, yard waste, and general trash. Items NOT allowed include: hazardous materials, batteries, paint, tires, chemicals, refrigerants, and medical waste.

Where will the dumpster be placed?

We'll place the dumpster on your driveway, in your yard, or on the street (where permitted). Just let us know your preferred placement when you book. We recommend plywood under the dumpster to protect your driveway.

How quickly can I get a dumpster delivered?

We offer same-day and next-day delivery in most of our service areas along the Wasatch Front. Just call us at (801) 918-6000 or request a quote online.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster?

If the dumpster is placed on your private property (driveway or yard), no permit is typically needed. If it needs to be placed on a public street, you may need a permit from your local city. We can help guide you through the process.

What happens if I go over the weight limit?

We don't have strict weight limits — you pay per ton for disposal at $55/ton. We weigh your load at the certified dump facility and you'll receive a receipt showing the exact weight. No surprise overage fees.

Can I load the dumpster myself?

Absolutely! Most customers load the dumpster themselves at their own pace during the rental period. Just don't fill above the fill line (the top of the container) for safe transport.

We serve the entire Wasatch Front including Salt Lake City, West Valley City, West Jordan, Sandy, Draper, Murray, South Jordan, Herriman, Riverton, Lehi, American Fork, Orem, Provo, Ogden, Layton, and many more. See our full service area.

How do I schedule a pickup?

Do you offer same-day delivery?

Yes! We offer same-day delivery when available. Call us early in the day for the best availability. Next-day delivery is almost always available.
