Choosing the right dumpster size can save you time and money. We offer a full range of roll-off dumpsters to match any project, from light debris removal to heavy construction waste. Here’s how to find your perfect fit.
Our 10 yard dumpster is ideal for small projects like garage cleanouts, minor landscaping work, or clearing out a single room. It’s compact enough to fit in tight driveways but spacious enough to handle several pickup truck loads of material. Perfect for spring cleaning or light renovation debris.
When you’re remodeling a bathroom, removing old flooring, or cleaning out multiple rooms, our 15 yard dumpster offers the extra capacity you need. It’s a popular choice for medium-sized home improvement projects and can handle heavier materials like tile, drywall, and carpeting without taking up too much space on your property.
The 20 yard dumpster is our most versatile option and the go-to choice for roofing projects, kitchen remodels, and deck removals. Contractors love this size because it balances capacity with maneuverability. Whether you’re tearing off shingles or gutting a room down to the studs, this dumpster handles the job with ease.
For whole-house cleanouts, estate sales, or major renovation projects, our 30 yard dumpster provides serious capacity. It’s perfect when you’re clearing out an entire home, removing a large deck or fence, or tackling extensive landscaping work. This size can accommodate bulky furniture, appliances, and large volumes of mixed debris.
Our largest option, the 40 yard dumpster, is built for commercial construction sites, complete home demolitions, and large-scale cleanout projects. If you’re a contractor working on new construction or tearing down a structure, this is the dumpster that keeps your job site organized and efficient. It handles heavy loads and high volumes with no problem.
We’ve seen it all, and we’re ready for whatever your project throws our way. Our versatility is one reason Dover residents and businesses have trusted us for over 15 years.

Common Customer Questions & Concerns | |
How do I select the correct size? | Not sure? No problem. When you call, just describe your project; what you're throwing away and where it's coming from. We'll recommend the right size to avoid paying for space you don't need or running out of room mid-project. |
What if I overload the dumpster? | Every dumpster has a fill line marked on the inside. Keep debris level with or below that line. Overloading creates safety hazards during transport and may result in additional fees. If you think you'll need more space, just call us; we can swap it out or deliver a second dumpster. |
What items are prohibited? | We cannot accept hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, batteries, asbestos, tires, propane tanks, certain electronics, or medical waste. Most household junk, construction debris, furniture, appliances, and yard waste are perfectly fine. When in doubt, just ask! |
Do I need a permit? | If the dumpster goes on your private property (driveway, yard), you typically don't need a permit. If it needs to sit on a public street or right-of-way, you may need permission from your local municipality. We'll help guide you through the process if needed. |
Where should I place the dumpster? | Choose a flat, stable surface with clear overhead access (no low-hanging wires or branches). Driveways work great. Avoid soft ground, grass, or septic systems. We'll place plywood boards under the dumpster to protect your driveway from scratches or marks. |
What are the rental terms? | Standard rental periods are typically 7 days, but we offer flexible options including weekend, short-term, and monthly rentals. Need more time? Just give us a call. Our pricing includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and the rental period; no surprise fees. |
How fast can you deliver? | We offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Dover and Strafford County. Call us early in the day, and we'll do everything possible to get a dumpster on your site within hours. We understand that timing matters, especially on tight project schedules. |
Will the dumpster damage my property? | We take care to protect your property. We use plywood boards under the dumpster on driveways and position it carefully to avoid landscaping, sprinklers, and underground utilities. Our drivers are experienced and always prioritize safe, damage-free placement. |
