What size dumpster do I need?
Most people only rent a dumpster a couple times in their life, so guessing the size is normal. Here's the quick version: match your project to the row below, and if you're on the fence, size up or just call and Tony will tell you.
| Your project | Best size | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete, dirt, brick, or other heavy clean material | 7-Yard | Our heavy container. Clean concrete and dirt get recycled, so no landfill weight charge. |
| Garage or single-room cleanout, yard debris, a small shingle roof | 13-Yard | The everyday size for households and small jobs. |
| Kitchen remodel, a few rooms, a bigger cleanout | 17-Yard | The step up most remodels and contractors reach for. |
| Whole-house renovation, new construction, a big contractor job | 22-Yard | Our biggest roll-off, for the heavy hitters. |
| Moving equipment, pallets of tile or pavers, materials | Flatbed | A 14-foot flatbed for hauling gear, not debris. |
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.
