How do I get a dumpster rental quote?
Find a hauler in your city using the search or browse features, then click into their listing. You’ll see their phone number and website. For most projects, calling directly is the fastest way to get accurate pricing, since availability and pricing vary by size, location, and disposal fees.
What size dumpster do I need?
See our Size Guide for a full breakdown. Quick rule of thumb: 10-yard for small cleanouts and bathroom remodels, 20-yard for whole-house cleanouts and roofing jobs, 30- to 40-yard for new construction or major demolition.
How long can I keep a dumpster?
Most haulers include 7–14 days in a standard rental. Longer rentals are usually available for a daily fee. Check the listing’s “Rental Period” field for specifics.
What can’t I put in a dumpster?
Prohibited items vary by hauler and local regulations, but almost always include: hazardous waste, paint, motor oil, tires, refrigerators with freon, batteries, and medical waste. Check each listing’s prohibited items section.
Do I need a permit?
If the dumpster will sit in a driveway or private property, usually no. On a public street, most cities require a permit. Many haulers will handle permits for you — look for “Permit Handling” on the listing.
