What size dumpster do I need?
Choosing the right size depends on the scale of your project; here is a quick breakdown to help you decide:
-
14-Yard Dumpster: Best for small-scale residential projects like a single-room remodel, garage cleanout, or small deck removal. It roughly holds the equivalent of 4 to 5 pickup truck loads.
-
20-Yard Dumpster: Our most popular size. Ideal for medium-sized projects, including floor removals, large basement decluttering, or roofing shingles for a mid-sized home. It holds about 8 pickup truck loads.
-
25-Yard Dumpster: Perfect for large-scale renovations, whole-home cleanouts, or light demolition work. This size provides extra volume for bulky items without taking up a massive footprint on your driveway. It holds about 10 pickup truck loads.
What is accepted in a dumpster?
Generally, we accept standard household junk and construction debris, including:
-
Household Items: Furniture, clothes, toys, and general trash.
-
Construction Materials: Drywall, wood, siding, cabinetry, and flooring.
-
Yard Waste: Leaves, branches, and brush (though some areas require these to be separated).
-
Appalachian/Heavy Debris: Small amounts of brick or concrete (please notify us first as weight limits apply).
What is NOT accepted?

-

Hazardous Waste: Asbestos, sealed tanks/drums, and medical waste.
-
Certain Electronics: Lead-acid batteries and (in some regions) refrigerators or AC units containing Freon.

Are there weight limits and overage fees?
Yes, each dumpster size includes a specific weight allowance (measured in tons). While our containers are spacious, they are restricted by the lifting capacity of our trucks and local road weight regulations.
-
Included Weight: A typical rental includes 2 tons depending on the bin size.
-
Overage Fees: If your debris exceeds the included weight, an additional fee per ton will be applied.
-
The "Fill Line": For the safety of our drivers and other motorists, please do not fill the dumpster above the top rim. We cannot legally transport "top-heavy" or overflowing loads.
