Before you request delivery

Pick a firm, level spot — usually a driveway — and measure it.
Check for overhead wires and low branches.
List heavy items like plaster, tile, or shingles so weight can be estimated.
Mattresses, appliances, and tires need approval; hazardous items aren't accepted. See what can go in a dumpster.
If placing on the street, check your town's requirements first.

Homeowner questions

Which dumpster size is suitable for my project?

A 15-yard dumpster suits garage, moving, and estate cleanouts and smaller remodeling projects; a 20-yard dumpster suits larger home cleanouts and remodeling projects; a 30-yard dumpster suits large cleanouts and major renovation projects. Volume and weight are separate limits, and all sizes include the same 2,000-lb allowance. Compare sizes.

Where can the dumpster be placed?

Most customers use a driveway or another firm, level surface on their property. Describe the surface, access, and any overhead wires or branches in your quote request so placement can be confirmed before delivery.

Do I need a permit?

It depends on your municipality and where the dumpster will sit. Placement on your own property often doesn't require one; street or sidewalk placement may. Confirm with your town. Placement and permits guide.

How do I request delivery and pickup?

Submit a quote request with your town, project, and materials. A local rental company serving your town contacts you to confirm pricing, delivery date, placement, and pickup. Your request is not a reservation until they confirm it.
