Choosing the right dumpster size can feel overwhelming if you’ve never rented one before; but we’re here to help. We carry a full range of roll-off dumpster sizes, and our team has seen just about every type of project imaginable. When you call, we’ll talk through what you’re working on and recommend the best fit. Here’s a quick breakdown of our available sizes and what they’re typically used for.
10-Yard Dumpsters
Perfect for small cleanouts like clearing out a garage, disposing of yard waste after a landscaping project, or handling debris from a minor bathroom remodel. If you’re decluttering or doing light demolition, this is a great starting point.
12-Yard Dumpsters
Ideal for basement cleanouts, small kitchen remodels, or spring cleaning projects where you’re hauling away furniture, old appliances, and general household junk. A step up from the 10-yard, but still compact and easy to place in tight driveways.
15-Yard Dumpsters
Great for attic cleanouts, flooring removal projects, or medium-sized renovation debris. Homeowners love this size for whole-house decluttering or preparing for a move. It’s also popular for estate cleanouts and carpet removal.
20-Yard Dumpsters
Our most popular size. The 20-yard dumpster handles everything from full home renovations and roofing projects to large estate cleanouts and multi-room remodels. Contractors often choose this size for residential job sites, and it’s perfect for handling construction debris, old cabinetry, drywall, and more.
30-Yard Dumpsters
Built for bigger jobs; major home additions, large-scale demolition projects, or commercial renovations. If you’re gutting multiple rooms, tearing down a deck, or managing a significant construction site, the 30-yard gives you plenty of capacity without needing multiple hauls.
40-Yard Dumpsters
Our largest option, designed for the heaviest commercial construction projects, full-property demolitions, and large multi-unit cleanouts. Property managers, developers, and large contractors rely on our 40-yard dumpsters when volume and efficiency are critical.
10-Yard Lowboy Dumpster
We also offer a low-profile 10-yard lowboy dumpster, perfect for situations where you need easy walk-in access; ideal for heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles, or when accessibility is a concern.
Not sure what size you need? Just ask. We’re happy to walk you through it and make sure you’re not paying for more dumpster than you need; or getting stuck with one that’s too small.
Homeowners throughout Des Moines and Polk County trust us for all kinds of residential projects. We know that renting a dumpster might not be something you do every day, so we go out of our way to make the process simple, stress-free, and affordable.
Whether you’re finally tackling that garage cleanout you’ve been putting off, renovating your kitchen, or dealing with the emotional and logistical challenge of an estate cleanout after losing a loved one, we treat your property; and your project; with care and respect. We deliver on time, place the dumpster exactly where you want it (without tearing up your lawn or driveway), and pick it up promptly when you’re done.

Not sure which dumpster fits your project? Our experienced team will help you select the perfect size based on your specific needs. We'd rather help you get it right the first time than have you run out of space or pay for unused capacity. Just describe your project when you call.
Each dumpster has a clearly marked fill line; please don't load materials above this line for safe transport. Stay within the included tonnage to avoid additional fees. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, and brick fill up weight limits quickly, so consider a lowboy dumpster for these projects.
Prohibited items include: hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, oil, asbestos, tires, batteries, electronics, propane tanks, and medical waste. We'll provide a complete list when you book. If you're unsure about a specific item, just ask; we're happy to clarify.
If the dumpster fits on your private property (driveway, yard), you typically won't need a permit. If it must be placed on a public street or right-of-way, you may need a permit from your local municipality. We'll guide you through the process and let you know what's required for your location.
Choose a flat, stable surface with enough clearance for our delivery truck (at least 60 feet straight-line access and 14+ feet vertical clearance). Avoid placing dumpsters over septic systems, utility lines, or sprinkler heads. We can place plywood under the dumpster to protect your driveway from damag; just let us know.
Our rental periods are flexible: daily, weekly, or monthly options available. Your rental includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and the included tonnage listed above. Need to extend your rental? Just call us; we make it easy. With transparent pricing, you'll always know exactly what you're paying for.
We offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Des Moines and Polk County (subject to availability). Call us early for guaranteed same-day service. When you're done filling the dumpster, give us a call and we'll schedule pickup at your convenience; often within 24 hours.
Our professional drivers carefully place dumpsters to minimize risk, but driveways can be susceptible to damage from heavy equipment. We recommend placing boards or plywood under the dumpster for extra protection on asphalt or stamped concrete. We're licensed and insured for your peace of mind.
