Pricing & Booking
How much does it cost to rent a dumpster?
Pricing depends on your delivery location and dumpster size. We price by distance because fuel and disposal costs vary. Enter your address in our booking tool to see your exact price, or call (417) 241-2996 and we'll give you a quote on the spot.
How do I book a dumpster?
You can book online through our estimate page, where you'll enter your address, choose a size, and pick a delivery date. Or just call or text us at (417) 241-2996 — we'll get you set up fast.
Is there a deposit required?
Ask when you book — payment terms vary by project type. We'll tell you exactly what's needed upfront, no surprises.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. Your quoted price includes delivery, the rental period, and standard disposal. If you go over the weight limit or keep the dumpster longer than the rental window, we'll let you know what that costs before we charge anything.
Dumpster Sizes
What dumpster sizes do you offer?
We offer 15-yard, 20-yard, and 25-yard roll-off dumpsters. The 15-yard handles small cleanouts and roofing jobs. The 20-yard is best for remodels and rental cleanouts. The 25-yard is for whole-house cleanouts, large contractor jobs, and farm cleanups.
How do I know which size I need?
Describe your project and we'll tell you. Generally: 15-yard for one room or a single-layer roof tear-off; 20-yard for kitchen/deck/multi-room remodels; 25-yard for whole-house cleanouts and large contractor or farm jobs. When in doubt, go bigger — a second delivery is more expensive than one bigger dumpster.
Can I fit a dumpster in my driveway?
Yes. Our 15-yard is 14 feet long, the 20-yard is 18 feet, and the 25-yard is 22 feet. Most standard driveways can accommodate a 15 or 20-yard. We use boards to protect your surface on delivery.
What Can I Throw Away?
What can go in a roll-off dumpster?
Most residential and construction debris is accepted: household junk and furniture, construction and demolition materials (drywall, lumber, roofing), yard waste, flooring, concrete (in reasonable quantities), and general cleanout materials.
What is NOT allowed in the dumpster?
Hazardous materials are not accepted. This includes paint, chemicals, pesticides, gasoline, oil, fuel, batteries (large), tires, asbestos, medical waste, and refrigerants (Freon). If you're unsure about a specific item, call us before putting it in.
Can I put old appliances in the dumpster?
Most appliances are fine — washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens. Refrigerators and air conditioners that still have Freon need to be drained first or disposed of separately.
Can mattresses go in the dumpster?
Yes. Mattresses, box springs, and furniture are all accepted.
Can concrete go in the dumpster?
Yes, but concrete is very heavy and adds up fast. A full dumpster of concrete will exceed weight limits quickly. Call us to discuss your volume — we may recommend a separate concrete-only load or heavy-material adjustments to your quote.
Delivery & Pickup
How fast can you deliver?
Same-day delivery is available on most jobs in the Springfield area. For outlying areas, delivery is typically within 24 hours. Call early in the day for the best same-day availability.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
Rentals include a standard number of days. After that, daily extension rates apply. We'll tell you the rental window and daily rate upfront when you book. Extensions are easy — just call us.
How do I schedule pickup?
Call or text (417) 241-2996 when you're ready. We'll schedule pickup quickly — usually within 24 hours of your call.
What if I'm not done when the rental period ends?
Just call us. We can extend your rental. We won't show up and pull the dumpster without notice.
Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?
Not usually. If you can show us where to place it (by phone or text with a photo), we can deliver without you being present. Just make sure the area is clear.
Permits & Regulations
Do I need a permit for a dumpster?
If the dumpster is on your private property — driveway, yard, or job site — no permit is typically needed. If it needs to go in a public street or alley, a city permit may be required depending on your municipality. Call us and we'll advise you based on your location.
Can a dumpster sit in my driveway on HOA property?
Check with your HOA before scheduling. Some HOAs have restrictions on dumpster placement or require specific placement and timing. We can help with any size or placement constraints.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
We deliver to Springfield and most communities within 150 miles, including Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Rogersville, Marshfield, Seymour, Lebanon, Branson, Ava, Bolivar, Willard, Strafford, Mountain Grove, Fordland, and many more. Longer-distance jobs may be available by quote.
Do you deliver to rural addresses and gravel roads?
Yes. We serve rural and farm addresses throughout Southwest Missouri. If you're on a gravel road or remote location, just give us the address when you call and we'll confirm delivery.
