When to Size Up Your Charleston Dumpster
When in doubt, size up. A slightly bigger dumpster costs a lot less than filling a small one and paying for a second haul. And you don't have to nail it yourself. Tell Tony what you're clearing out and he'll match you to the right size before you book.
Everything comes with delivery, pickup, and disposal included, and we drop it 7 days a week across Charleston and the surrounding towns. You don't need to be home for the drop or the pickup.

Charleston dumpster size FAQ
What size dumpster do I need for a home cleanout?
For a single room, a garage, or a general household cleanout, a 13-yard is usually plenty. For a full-house cleanout or a big renovation, step up to a 17 or 22-yard.
What size dumpster do I need for concrete or dirt?
Use the 7-yard. It is our heavy container built for clean loads of concrete, dirt, and brick, and clean concrete or dirt goes to a recycling plant, so there is no landfill weight charge on it.
What if I pick the wrong size?
Just call Tony before you book. Tell him the project and he will point you to the right size in about ten seconds. When in doubt, size up. It costs less than paying for a second haul.
What size do I need for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
A 13-yard covers most single-room remodels once the cabinets, counters, flooring, and drywall come out. A kitchen and a bathroom running at the same time pushes you to a 17. The exception is a tiled shower pan or a mortar bed, which is dense enough to need a 7-yard alongside.
What size do I need for a roof tear-off?
The 7-yard, regardless of how the shingles look stacked on the ground. Shingles are dense, so weight fills that container long before volume does. On a larger roof, plan a second 7-yard rather than overloading one.
How many pickup truck loads is a 13-yard?
Roughly forty. One yard is about three truck loads, which is the math that usually decides it once you add the fuel, the scale fees, and the weekend.
