Choosing
Weight Matters as Much as Volume
Dirt, concrete and roofing are heavy long before they are tall, so they belong in a 13. Drywall, framing scraps and cleanout junk are bulky but light — that is what the 20 and 30 are for.
- Heavy material (dirt, concrete, shingles): 13 yard

Before You Book
Space, Swaps, Fees and What Stays Out
The size is one choice. Here are four more to settle before the can arrives.
Tight on space?
The 13 is our compact can. Any size goes wherever a roll-off truck can reach and set it level: a driveway, a lot, or the street where your city allows it. You place it on the map when you book, and the driver drops it there.
Long build? Plan on swaps
A bigger can is not the only answer. Call or text dispatch for a swap and we pull the full can and drop an empty one in the same spot, on the schedule you need.
What goes in sets the dump fee
Roll-off dumpsters start at $170 per haul + dump fees, and dump fees are passed through at the facility’s rate for your load. Your quote shows the full number for your size, address and material before anything is charged.
Keep these out of every size
No hazardous waste, paint, oil, solvents, batteries, tires or anything liquid. Not sure about a material? Ask dispatch before it goes in the can.
