Dumpster Sizes and Selection

How do I choose the right size dumpster?
Choose based on your project size, type of debris, and space for delivery. We’ll help estimate your needs, and it’s usually safer to go one size up to avoid overfilling.
Can I change my dumpster size after ordering?
Yes, but changes are subject to availability. Let us know as early as possible if you need to switch sizes before your scheduled delivery.

Delivery and Pickup
How much space do I need for delivery?
We need about 60 feet of straight-line access and 10–15 feet of overhead clearance. The area should be flat, clear of debris, and strong enough to support the weight.
Can you place the dumpster on my driveway?
Yes, we often deliver to driveways. To protect your surface, consider placing plywood under the wheels. We’re not liable for driveway damage.
What if I’m not home during delivery?
You don’t need to be present. Just leave clear placement instructions when ordering, and we’ll handle it according to your directions.
How much notice do you need for pickup?
Please give us 24–48 hours’ notice when you’re ready for pickup. We’ll schedule a collection within 1–2 business days.
Permitted and Prohibited Materials
What can I put in the dumpster?
You may dispose of:
- Household junk and clutter
- Yard waste and tree branches
- Construction and demolition debris
- Furniture and small appliances
- Roofing shingles and siding
What items are prohibited?
Do not place the following in your dumpster:
- Paints, solvents, or hazardous chemicals
- Batteries or motor oil
- Asbestos or medical waste
- Propane tanks or explosives
- Televisions, monitors, or electronics with mercury
What happens if I put prohibited items in the dumpster?
You may be charged a contamination or special handling fee. These items must be removed before pickup can take place.
Can I mix different types of materials?
In most cases, yes. However, separating clean loads (like concrete only) may reduce disposal fees. Ask us for guidance on mixed materials.
Weight Limits and Loading
What are the weight limits?
Typical limits by size:
- 10-yard – 2 to 3 tons
- 20-yard – 3 to 4 tons
- 30-yard – 4 to 5 tons
- 40-yard – 5 to 6 tons
What happens if I exceed the weight limit?
You’ll be charged an overage fee based on the excess tonnage. Very heavy loads may also need special equipment for safe removal.
How should I load the dumpster?
Keep all items level with the top rim, distribute the weight evenly, place heavy items at the bottom, and break down bulky items to maximise space.
Permits and Regulations
Do I need a permit for the dumpster?
Permits are required if the dumpster will sit on public property, including streets and sidewalks. For private property, permits are typically not needed.
Who is responsible for obtaining permits?
You are responsible for securing any local permits needed for placement. We’ll help explain the process and what your township may require.
Are there any placement restrictions?
Avoid blocking public access points, placing them under wires, on soft ground, or in violation of local regulations. Ask us for placement tips if unsure.
Special Situations
Can you deliver on weekends?
Weekend deliveries may be possible for an extra fee. Let us know your timeline so we can confirm availability.
What about emergency or same-day service?
We offer same-day service in some locations. Emergency scheduling may include additional charges and depend on current availability.
Do you offer commercial accounts?
Yes. We work with contractors, retailers, and businesses on recurring service agreements with flexible scheduling and volume pricing.
