"We had a bunch of clutter and unwanted items piling up on the side of the house. It was time to take it to the dump, but had no way to take it ourselves. I found the junk dude on FB and decided to give them a try. They did not disappoint!! They were affordable and quick to remove everything in no time. I am highly satisfied and would call them again!"

"I had an excellent experience with this junk removal company. The owner is extremely communicative, on time, and very accommodating to my availability. He came fully prepared with all the necessary tools and even a portable generator to break down larger items on-site. He checked in with me before and after the job to make sure everything I needed removed was taken care of and I was completely satisfied. Outstanding service - highly recommended! And will definitely be contacting them again for my parents."

Dumpster Service FAQs, answered by experts

It’s best practice to responsibly dispose of a refrigerator, as it can contain substances that are harmful to the environment, and to avoid illegal dumping. Explore other options for getting rid of an old refrigerator such as selling it on Facebook Marketplace, recycling it at a local scrap yard, or donating it to a nonprofit organization.

While a rented dumpster can handle a wide variety of materials, there are significant restrictions on what is allowed. Generally, you can dispose of most non-hazardous household junk, yard waste, and construction debris.

Accepted items typically include:

  • Furniture, carpets, old linens, and toys

  • Wood and yard debris

  • Small appliances and excess trash

  • Renovation waste like old finishes, building debris, and roofing materials (unless they contain lead paint or asbestos)

However, you cannot put toxic, flammable, or hazardous materials in a dumpster. Prohibited items almost always include:

  • Paint, gasoline, oil, and other fuels

  • Household cleaners and other chemicals

  • Electronics, batteries, and tires

  • Refrigerators, hot water tanks, and medical waste

Since regulations can vary by location and company, it is essential to check with your dumpster rental provider for their specific list of accepted and prohibited items before you begin.

Depending on the rules and regulations set by your local municipality or sanitation company, you might be able to place a small amount of bricks in your regular garbage. However, you should call your local government or sanitation company first to double-check. If it’s not allowed, or you’d prefer to recycle them, you can haul them to a recycling facility or hire a trash removal company to pick them up and bring them in for recycling for you.

The average cost to rent a dumpster is around $400 per week, but the price can range from as low as $80 to over $850. The final cost depends on several factors, primarily the dumpster's size, the type of material you're disposing of, and the length of the rental period. A standard 20-yard dumpster often falls within the average price range, while smaller dumpsters or dumpster bags are cheaper, and larger 40-yard dumpsters are more expensive. Expect to pay more if you need the dumpster for longer than the typical one-week rental period.

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.
