It’s important to note that if you’re tossing heavy debris, you’ll need to rent a smaller dumpster — typically a 10 yard bin — to avoid going over your dumpster weight limit. For a full list of accepted materials and prohibited items in your service area, get in touch with our team.

Roll Off Dumpster Rental FAQs
Do I need a roll off dumpster?
You may need a roll off container if your project creates more debris than curbside pickup allows. A temporary dumpster is perfect for short-term projects like renovations, demolition or cleanouts, or any job that requires quick, convenient waste removal.
Can anyone use a roll off dumpster?
Yes, almost anyone can rent a roll off dumpster. Homeowners, contractors, business owners and event organizers use them for quick, convenient waste removal. As long as you have a safe spot for placement and follow local regulations, a roll off container can be the perfect solution for your cleanup.
What fits in a roll off dumpster?
Our roll off dumpsters can fit between 10 and 40 cubic yards of debris, depending on the dumpster size you choose. With a roll off container, you can toss a standard size couch, household junk, drywall, flooring, rocks, shingles and more. For a full breakdown of dumpster sizes, get in touch with our team.
What dumpster size is best for my project?
Choosing the right dumpster size for your project depends on the type and amount of debris you’re tossing. For heavy debris disposal or small junk removal projects, our 10 yard bin usually works best. Whole home renovations or commercial renovations typically require a 40 yard roll off container. We also offer a range of dumpster sizes in between to fit any cleanup.
Do I need a permit for a roll off dumpster?
Dumpster permit requirements depend on your area. In many locations, you don’t need a dumpster permit if you plan to keep your roll off container on private property, like a driveway or jobsite. If you plan to keep your bin in the street or another public right-of-way, you may need to get a permit from your local municipality before your dumpster delivery.
How long can I keep a roll off dumpster?
Our rental periods are typically seven to 10 days. However, we offer scheduling flexibility so you can rent a dumpster for a weekend or request a rental extension for a flat daily rate depending on dumpster availability in your area.
What if I go over the dumpster weight limit?
If you go over your dumpster’s weight limit, you’ll receive a pro-rated per-ton overage fee. We’ll weigh your bin at the landfill and only charge you for the extra weight you’ve used.
Can I cancel or reschedule my delivery?
Yes. With our generous cancellation policy, you can cancel or reschedule your dumpster rental without penalty by 3 p.m. the business day before your delivery. Simply reach out to our team or manage your order online with our Service Dashboard.
