"I hired this company to install new sod on my property they were really nice and professional and explained all the questions I had for the after care, I also contacted them a couple days after installation due to some corners on the patches turning dark or drying out and explain that since it?s real grass I had to give it a couple days or weeks to allow it to root well and new grass will grow. It?s been almost a month and my lawn looks great"

"I had some major tree trimming done, with several large limbs cut. I didn’t think it through, because the guys I hired couldn't remove the cut limbs! A friend referred me to Tony who showed up quickly and removed it all for a reasonable fee!"

Dumpster Service FAQs, answered by experts

The smallest dumpsters typically available for rent are 2 cubic yards. These are ideal for small cleanup jobs, minor home remodeling projects, or decluttering a garage. A 2-cubic-yard dumpster can generally hold around 400 pounds and often measures about 6 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 3 feet high. The cost to rent one typically ranges from $75 to $200 per week.

For even smaller jobs, or as an alternative, you can consider a dumpster bag. These come in various sizes (often 2 to 5 cubic yards) and can cost between $100 and $180 per week. Other small dumpster types include commercial dumpsters (starting at 2 yards) and small roll-off dumpsters (which usually start at 10 yards).

Yes, you can put tree branches in a dumpster. In most places, tree branches, brush, logs, and other wood are considered yard waste, which is allowed in most dumpsters. Check with your local municipal authority to determine whether there are any rules about yard waste disposal and how much yard waste you can place in a single dumpster.

Finding the right dumpster rental company for your needs requires interviewing companies to ask about rental timelines, costs, and weight limits. Here are some questions you can ask a dumpster rental company you’re considering:

  • How long are your standard rental contracts? Can I extend it?

  • What is the maximum weight your dumpsters can hold?

  • Does the rental include dumping fees?

  • Do I need a permit, and will you pull it for me?

  • Will you protect my driveway from damage?

Yes, renting a dumpster is one of the most effective ways to remove yard waste. The average cost to rent a dumpster is $400 per week, but it usually costs less for yard waste removal because you should only need a small dumpster. A more cost-effective alternative is to use dumpster bags for yard removal, especially when clearing lighter debris like leaves, branches, grass clippings, and weeds.

Garbage removal is a project you can do yourself, but hiring a professional to get the job done is often worthwhile. Depending on the type and amount of junk, you could be looking at a very labor-intensive job, dumping fees, dumpster charges, and potentially unsafe working conditions. Hiring a professional junk removal company not only saves you time and energy and keeps you safe, but it also means you don’t have to worry about carting the junk away or coordinating a dumpster and getting a permit for it.
