Greg is the most honest and hard working guy ever. He is honest, and knows every minute detail as we tested him and everything he said on our complicated removal and rental was true. We would hire him again. They don't make guys like this anymore.

FAQs for dumpster service projects in San Francisco, CA

A 2-cubic-yard dumpster, usually the smallest dumpster available to rent, typically costs between $75 to $125 per week. This size is good for small home remodeling projects, spring cleaning, or small demolition projects. You can check into junk removal to find out if it makes more sense for you to go with a dumpster rental or a junk removal service.

The best way to choose the right dumpster size for what you need is to talk to a reputable dumpster rental company. Let them know what job you’re doing and the representative should be able to guide you in choosing the best dumpster to handle the job depending on the size of the job and the type of material you’re disposing of.

A 20-yard dumpster is the most common dumpster rental size, which typically costs about $275 to $700 per week. This size is most common because it’s likely to have enough room for a wide variety of projects from large spring cleaning, home remodeling, or new construction. A 20-yard dumpster can fit in most residential driveways, avoiding the need for permits to keep it in the street. Just be aware that having a dumpster delivered on your driveway may cause scratches, cracks, or scrapes in your pavement, as well as needing to find another parking spot for any vehicles.

Ultimately, your needs may vary. It’s usually a good idea to err on the side of renting a larger dumpster than you might need.

Dumpster rental costs about $390 per week, on average, depending on the size of the dumpster and the material you’re disposing of. The price range for dumpster rental can be as low as $80 per week and as high as $850 per week for a larger commercial-sized container. Typical dumpster rental price ranges include:

Dumpster bag: $100–$200
Residential dumpster: $100–$300
Trash or junk hauling service: $150–$400
Roll-off dumpster: $200–$800

The price difference between a 10-yard and a 15-yard dumpster is anywhere from $15 to $200 per week. A 10-yard dumpster rental costs about $225 to $450 per week and a 15-yard dumpster costs about $240 to $650 per week. A 10-yard dumpster is suitable for medium-sized cleanup or small renovation projects like kitchen cabinets or small bathrooms. The 15-yard dumpster can handle projects like small porch or patio demolition, small bathroom or kitchen remodels, or about 1,500 square feet of shingles removed for a roofing project.
