Whether you're a contractor in the middle of a renovation or a homeowner taking on a kitchen yourself, you end up with framing scrap, drywall, packaging, and demo material that needs somewhere to go besides the lawn.
For our purposes: drywall, framing lumber, sheathing, subfloor, flooring you're tearing out (hardwood, laminate, tile), old kitchen and bath cabinets, vanities, countertops, packaging from new materials, broken siding, insulation, doors, windows, baseboard, and trim. If it's coming out of a wall, going on top of one, or arriving in a shipping crate on a renovation jobsite, it's construction debris.
A bathroom remodel usually lives inside a 15-yard. A kitchen with cabinet removal usually wants a 20-yard. Whole-floor renovations, multi-room work, or jobs that include demo generally run a 30-yard. If you're not sure, describe the job on the phone and we'll talk through the right size for what you're doing.
This is where construction debris gets people. Shingles, plaster, brick, wet drywall, tile with mortar attached, and any kind of masonry hit weight limits faster than you'd think. A 20-yard with shingles can be over allowance at one third full. Each can comes with a weight allowance, and overage gets billed by the ton. If your job's heavy on those materials, mention it on the call so the weight tier can be planned before delivery.
For ongoing renovations where one can won't be enough, swap-outs are an option: you fill it, we pull it, and drop a fresh one. If your job site has a deadline, tell us the dates when you book so the schedule can be planned around it.
Hazardous materials of any kind. Asbestos (suspected or confirmed) needs a licensed abatement company, not a roll-off. Large amounts of straight concrete, brick, or stone (small amounts mixed in are usually fine, but a full dumpster load gets too heavy for the truck to pick up). Old oil tanks, paint cans full of liquid paint, motor oil, and lead-painted lumber in suspicious quantities. If you're not sure, call before you load it in.
Yes. Swap-outs are how multi-week jobs run: you fill the can, we pull it and drop a fresh one. Mention the rough project timeline when you book so the swap dates can be planned around the work.
Shingles are fine in the dumpster but they're heavy. A 20-yard with shingles can hit the weight allowance at a third full. If you're doing a roof tear-off, mention it on the call so the weight tier matches the load.
Yes. This page isn't contractor-only. Homeowners taking on a kitchen, bath, or basement renovation themselves use the same construction dumpsters. Describe the job on the call and we'll suggest the size and weight tier.
Mixed renovation debris is standard. Drywall, framing, flooring, cabinets, packaging, general demo material in the same can is fine. The exception is pure loads of concrete, brick, or masonry, where the weight gets too heavy for the truck to pick up a full container.
Small amounts of concrete mixed in with regular construction debris is usually fine. A whole load of broken slab, footings, or driveway is too heavy for the truck to pick up, so the answer there is to keep the amount smaller, not fill a full container.
