Is the area within 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft cube. One cubic yard of dumpster area equals approximately 200 gallons of material or roughly (2) 96-gallon toters.

There is no set rule of thumb to determine the size of the container you will need.

If you are tearing a roof off, you can make an accurate estimate using the following formula. This formula does not take into account other trash or decking.

Take the number of square of roofing to be torn off:

Multiply by the number of layers:

Equals TOTAL number of squares:

Divide the total squares by 4:

This equals approximate number of cubic yards needed:

30 squares

x 2 layers

60 squares

/ 4(sq/c.y.)

approx. 15 cu. yds

This varies by 3 main factors; 1) location; 2) type of material you are disposing of; and 3) the size of the dumpster. Different types of material have different weights. Disposal options affect the price. To ensure that you get the most accurate price for your job, give us a call.

We accept most solid waste material including most routine household and construction waste. We also accept tree limbs and some landscaping materials. Heavy materials may be restricted to certain size containers (10, 15 or 20 yards). The weight would exceed DOT regulations and be unsafe to haul.

We DO NOT accept liquids, tires, pesticides, insecticides, chemicals, paints, oil, fluorescent light tubes, propane tanks, TVs, monitors or any other hazardous/toxic waste, radioactive waste, or “special" waste defined by applicable local, state, and federal laws.

We do not accept refrigerators, freezer units, and air conditioners unless they have been cleaned of any/all coolants. They must also be properly tagged by a licensed technician.

Your driveway is the best location, but you tell us where you would like it. There may be some restrictions but most flat hard locations on your property will work. Our courteous staff will work with you to provide the best placement. Street or alley placement requires a right-of-way permit.

No, just let us know where you would like it placed.

There are some circumstances such as street placement or other special situations which may require someone to be there for authorization. If someone needs to be there, we will let you know when you place your order.

To the top. You can fill the dumpster completely full. The material must NOT exceed the top edge of the dumpster. We need to be able to safely tarp the container and ensure that no material will fly out of the container as it is being hauled.
