Dumpster Sizes and Usage

What sizes do you offer?

We offer a range of roll-off containers to meet the needs of any job, large or small:

• 10-yard – Ideal for garage cleanouts or light home decluttering
• 15-yard – Best for small renovations and yard cleanup
• 20-yard – Common choice for kitchen remodels and roofing jobs
• 30-yard – Useful for large remodels, multi-room renovations, or bulky items
• 40-yard – Built for commercial projects or large volumes of debris

Every container comes with a weight limit and a generous rental period to keep your project on track.

Which size should I choose?

The right dumpster size depends on the type and volume of materials you plan to throw away. If you’re not sure, it’s safer to choose a slightly larger container to avoid weight overages or multiple hauls. Our team can help estimate the right size for your job.

Can I change the dumpster size after booking?

Yes, if your order hasn’t been dispatched yet, we may be able to adjust the size. Let us know as soon as possible if your plans change. We’ll do our best to accommodate your update.

Pricing and Payment

What does the rental price include?

Our pricing includes delivery, pickup, waste disposal up to the allowed tonnage, and a standard rental period of 7 to 10 days. There are no hidden fees, and we’ll confirm everything with you before the dumpster arrives. You get a reliable service with upfront, honest pricing.

Are there extra charges I should know about?

Additional fees can apply in some situations, such as when you go over the included weight, keep the dumpster beyond your rental period, or need a special pickup. Fees may also apply if we encounter restricted materials or need to assist with permit arrangements. We’ll always explain these in advance.

When is payment due?

Payment is usually due at the time of delivery, unless you’ve arranged billing terms in advance. We accept all major credit cards, checks, and other approved payment methods. Your receipt will reflect the full cost and rental terms.

Delivery and Pickup

Do I need to be present for the dumpster delivery or pickup?

No, you do not need to be onsite as long as the placement area is accessible and marked. We recommend giving us any special instructions when you place the order. This helps ensure everything goes smoothly without delays.

How much space is needed for a dumpster?

Plan for at least 60 feet of straight-line space and 12 to 15 feet of overhead clearance for the truck. The ground should be flat, solid, and free of obstructions. Making room in advance helps ensure we can deliver the dumpster exactly where you need it.

Can I place the dumpster on my driveway?

Yes, many customers use their driveways for dumpster placement. We recommend using plywood or planks under the wheels to prevent any scuffs or indentations. You are responsible for selecting a safe location for drop-off.

How do I schedule the dumpster for removal?

When you’re finished, call or email us, and we’ll arrange for pickup within 24 to 48 hours. The sooner you reach out, the faster we can remove it. It’s best to confirm you’ve finished loading before contacting us.

Materials and Loading

What items can I put in the dumpster?

You can dispose of most non-hazardous materials, including:

• Household junk, furniture, and general clutter
• Yard waste like branches, shrubs, and dirt
• Renovation materials such as drywall, flooring, and tile
• Roofing shingles, lumber, and light construction debris
• Appliances without refrigerants (some may have a disposal fee)

This range covers most needs for residential and light commercial use.

What items are not allowed in the dumpster?

We cannot accept:

• Hazardous chemicals, paints, solvents, or asbestos
• Electronics with hazardous parts (like CRT monitors)
• Car fluids, oils, and batteries
• Medical waste or biological material
• Tires, propane tanks, or pressurized cylinders

Delaware regulations prohibit these items for health and environmental safety.

What if I add prohibited materials by mistake?

If we find banned items during pickup, we’ll require their removal before we can complete service. You may also face extra charges if the material requires special handling or has contaminated the load. Always check with us first if you’re unsure.

Can I mix different types of waste?

Yes, you can mix acceptable waste types in the same dumpster. However, if you are disposing of clean fill like concrete or brick, it’s often cheaper to keep those loads separate. Our team can explain which approach is most cost-effective.

Weight Limits and Loading Tips

What are the dumpster weight limits?

Each size has a general weight limit based on typical usage:

• 10-yard: 2 tons
• 15-yard: 3 tons
• 20-yard: 4 tons
• 30-yard: 5 tons
• 40-yard: 6 tons

These limits help control disposal costs and ensure safe hauling.

What happens if I go over the weight limit?

If your dumpster is too heavy, we’ll charge an overage fee per additional ton. Overfilled containers may also delay pickup or require extra equipment. We’ll weigh the dumpster at the facility and apply charges based on actual overage.

How should I load my dumpster?

Place heavier items on the bottom and distribute the weight evenly throughout the container. Avoid overfilling past the rim, as this may create safety issues or prevent pickup. Smart loading can help you make the most of your rental.

Permits and Placement

Do I need a permit to rent a dumpster in Delaware?

Permits are not required for private property, such as driveways or job sites. Suppose you plan to place the dumpster on public streets or sidewalks. In that case, you will likely need a permit from your local municipality. We can help you check the rules for your town or city.

Who is responsible for getting the permit?

The customer must arrange and obtain any necessary permits before the scheduled delivery. Let us know in advance, and we’ll guide you through what’s needed to stay compliant.

Special Services and Commercial Use

Do you offer weekend or same-day delivery?

Yes, in many areas across Delaware, we offer same-day or weekend service depending on availability. If you have an urgent project, call early, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. Extra fees may apply for expedited service.

Do you serve contractors or businesses with ongoing projects?

We work with many commercial clients on long-term or recurring jobs. We offer flexible rental terms, custom billing, and scheduled pickups for sites that generate waste regularly. Let us know your needs, and we’ll tailor a plan for you.

What happens if bad weather affects service?

For safety, we may delay delivery or pickup during storms, flooding, or icy conditions. If weather becomes a concern, we’ll reach out to reschedule or update your time slot. Your safety and the protection of your property are always a priority.
