Construction Dumpster Rental
Most construction jobs use a 20, 30 or 40 yard roll-off dumpster. A 20 suits a remodel or a small addition, a 30 handles framing and drywall waste on new homes, and a 40 fits large builds with light, bulky debris. We book it with a local hauler and schedule swaps and pickups for you.
Updated 2026-11-05 · Your flat-rate quote includes delivery, pickup and a weight allowance, and it is spelled out before you book. No hidden fees.
Planning your construction dumpster
Pick the size by debris type
Framing lumber, drywall and packaging are bulky and light, so they suit 30 and 40 yard containers. Concrete, brick, tile and dirt are heavy and belong in a 10 or 20 yard container, often kept separate.
Plan the placement
The roll-off truck needs a straight, clear approach and overhead clearance to set the container down. Mark the spot before delivery day and keep it clear of materials and vehicles.
Ask about swaps
On longer jobs the hauler can pull a full container and drop an empty one. Tell us your schedule and we book the swaps with the order.
Keep heavy debris separate
Many haulers handle clean concrete, brick or dirt differently from mixed debris. Tell us what's going in so the quote matches the load.

Frequently asked questions
What size dumpster do I need for construction?
Most new-home and addition jobs use a 30 yard dumpster; large builds use a 40. Remodels and small additions usually fit a 20. Heavy debris such as concrete calls for a smaller container because of weight limits.
Can I keep the dumpster for the whole project?
Rental periods are set by the local hauler and listed on your quote. For long projects ask for extra days or scheduled swaps when you call.
Can I put concrete in a construction dumpster?
Often yes, but concrete is heavy, so it usually goes in a 10 or 20 yard container and some haulers require it to be kept clean of other debris. Tell us before booking.
Not sure what size you need?
Call us with the project and we'll size it with you, then book it with a local hauler.
