"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

The length of time you can keep a dumpster in your driveway depends on several factors, including local regulations, HOA rules, and your rental provider's policies. If your property is part of an HOA or if your local building department requires a permit, there may be time constraints. Some cities limit how long a dumpster can be in a residential area, sometimes to a maximum of 30 days per year. However, if there are no local or HOA restrictions, the only limit may be what your rental company allows. To avoid potential fines, it's essential to check with your local public works office, your HOA, and the dumpster rental company to understand all applicable rules and time limits.

No, you can’t place hazardous waste in a dumpster unless you specifically ordered a dumpster for hazardous waste removal. If the dumpster company finds hazardous waste that it didn’t approve for dumping, the company will return the waste to you, and you’ll likely face a fine for illegal dumping.

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.

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.

You can cut costs and expedite the process of junk removal by following a few essential steps. Use these methods to save on junk removal costs:

  • Sorting items and debris into one area to reduce sorting costs. 

  • Contacting local charities or donation centers for free or reduced-cost pickup of donations.

  • For tree-related items like branches, advertise to community members looking for free firewood.

  • Conduct one large clean-out instead of many smaller ones to reduce materials and labor costs.
