The 20 yard is our most popular size and the one we recommend for nearly every home project. It handles most residential and contractor jobs, fits a standard single-car driveway, and is priced at $395 flat — only $30 more than the 15 yard.

Material must stay level with the top rim. Overfilled containers cannot be safely transported and will need material removed before pickup, which may result in additional charges and delays.

Call or text 816-759-2881 and we will help choose the right size, confirm pricing, and schedule delivery. Most customers get a quote in under 2 minutes.

For nearly every home project, the 20 yard at $395. Garage cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, basement clear-outs and move-out purges all fit it in a single haul. Go to the 30 yard at $475 for a whole-home cleanout, a multi-room gut or construction debris — it is cheaper than two 20 yard hauls. The 11 and 15 yard are available for small, known jobs. Browse our dumpster size guide.

Yes. In fifteen years nobody has told us their dumpster was too big, and about four in ten tell us they wish they had gone bigger. Stepping from the 15 yard to the 20 costs $30. Running out of room costs a second full rental, plus the delay. When the decision is close, take the larger container.

An 11 yard holds roughly 3 to 4 pickup truck loads. It is our smallest container — low walls make it the easiest to load by hand. Most customers step up to the 20 yard, which is $95 more and holds nearly twice as much.

A 15 yard holds roughly 5 to 6 pickup truck loads — a single-room remodel, a partial cleanout, or a furniture haul-off. It shares the same 12 by 8 foot footprint as the 11 and the 20. Most customers step up to the 20 yard, which is only $30 more.

A 20 yard holds roughly 6 to 7 pickup truck loads — a full two-car garage, a kitchen or bathroom remodel, a basement clear-out or a multi-room renovation. Our most popular size at $395, and only $30 more than the 15 yard. It fits the same standard driveway, so sizing up costs you no extra space.

A 30 yard holds roughly 9 to 10 pickup truck loads — built for whole-house cleanouts, major renovations, demolition and large construction sites. At $475 it is well under the cost of two 20 yard hauls. It needs 60 to 65 feet of straight clearance to set down.

The 20 yard. A full two-car garage almost always fills more than people expect, and the 20 finishes it in one haul for $395. If the garage is coming out along with a basement, attic or shed, go to the 30 yard.

The 20 yard for a kitchen, bathroom, basement or multi-room remodel — cabinets, flooring, drywall and fixtures take up more room than the plan suggests. A full gut or a whole-home renovation belongs in the 30 yard.

The 30 yard at $475. A whole-home or estate cleanout rarely fits one 20 yard, and the 30 costs far less than two hauls. If you are clearing only part of the property, the 20 yard is the right start.

We frequently provide same-day delivery throughout Kansas City when inventory allows. Call or text 816-759-2881 early in the day to check availability. Next-day delivery is almost always available.

No. As long as placement instructions are provided in advance, our driver can deliver the dumpster without anyone present.

Yes. Most residential rentals are placed directly in driveways. Our drivers use driveway protection mats when possible to reduce the risk of damage to concrete and asphalt surfaces.

We use driveway protection boards whenever possible to help protect concrete and asphalt. Some surface impressions may occur with heavier loads or soft ground, but we take care to minimize impact.

Most 11, 15, and 20 yard dumpsters need approximately 40-50 feet of straight clearance — all three share the same 12 by 8 foot footprint, so stepping up to the 20 does not cost you any driveway. The 30 yard requires 60-65 feet of clear straight-line space to set safely.

Yes. Gravel is a good surface for dumpster placement. Grass works too but may show impressions, especially in wet conditions or with heavier loads.

No. Once placed, the dumpster should not be moved. If you need it repositioned, contact us and we will arrange it.

Yes. Please keep vehicles and obstructions clear of the dumpster so our truck can safely access it for pickup. Blocked dumpsters may require rescheduling.

Permits are generally not required when the dumpster is placed on private property such as a driveway. Placement on a public street or right-of-way may require a permit from your city or municipality.

Many municipalities allow street placement but require a permit. Requirements vary across Kansas City, Independence, Lee’s Summit, Overland Park, and surrounding cities.

The property owner or customer is typically responsible for obtaining any required permits before dumpster delivery.

No. Dumpsters placed on private residential driveways generally do not require permits. Permits typically only apply to street or public right-of-way placements.

Yes. Mattresses and box springs are accepted in most dumpster rentals.

Most household appliances are accepted — washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, microwaves, and ovens. The exception is refrigerators and freezers, which contain refrigerants and require specialized disposal.

Yes. Branches, brush, leaves, shrubs, and other yard debris are generally accepted in our standard roll-off containers.

The following cannot go in a standard dumpster: concrete, brick, asphalt, gravel, dirt, wet paint, chemicals, motor oil, gasoline, batteries, tires, propane tanks, refrigerants, asbestos, and hazardous materials.

No — not in a standard dumpster. These materials require a dedicated concrete dumpster because of their extreme weight.

Wet paint is prohibited. Completely dry paint may be accepted in some situations. Contact us before disposal if you have paint cans to clarify what is allowed.

Tires, batteries, and propane tanks all require special disposal through approved recycling or hazardous-material facilities. Tires can be disposed of for $15 each when disclosed at the time of order.

Penalty charges may apply if prohibited materials are found. In some cases, the material must be removed before pickup can be completed.

Most residential roofing projects use a dedicated roofing dumpster since shingles are extremely heavy. Contact us with your roof square footage and layer count for a recommendation.

No. Roofing materials should remain separate from household debris. Mixing can cause weight-limit issues and disposal complications.

Yes. Underlayment, felt paper, flashing, and roofing debris can typically be disposed of together in a roofing dumpster.

A concrete dumpster is a smaller roll-off container built specifically for heavy materials — concrete, brick, asphalt, stone, and gravel.

Our concrete dumpster rental is $475 for a 5 cubic yard container holding approximately 5 tons of clean concrete material. Flat-rate pricing with no tonnage charges.

No. Concrete dumpsters must contain approved heavy materials only — concrete, brick, asphalt, block, stone, and gravel.

No. Unless an automatic pickup was arranged upfront, please call or text us when your project is complete and you are ready for pickup.

Yes. We can perform a dumpster swap — removing the full container and delivering an empty one so work can continue. The cost for the swap is the same as the first dumpster you ordered, and only one dump (haul-off) is included with each rental fee. This is why we push people toward the larger container: a swap costs a full second rental, while sizing up from the 15 to the 20 costs $30.

Yes. One-day rental is available on the 20 yard dumpster at $345. Contact us about one-day availability on other sizes.

No problem. Call or text us and we will extend your rental. Extensions are charged at $25 per day or $150-$175 per week.
