"I've used The Dump Guy twice now. This last time, I needed our basement cleaned out so we could have a leaking oil tank removed. They gave us an estimate of $1,500 and came out the same week. I know the job was bigger than they expected but the crew stayed at it. Among other things, they hauled out an old stand-up freezer and two large, metal desks. When they were done, I asked how much I owed them and Jason stuck to the estimate. I'll definitely hire The Dump Guy again because they are reliable, honest, and easy to work with."

"Keith and his team did a great job. They showed up on time, were enthusiastic. They were very careful when moving the furniture so there were no issues with ding or scrapes in walls and they were respectful of light fixtures. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing moving services"

Waste Removal Services questions, answered by experts

The best way to determine the right dumpster size for your project is to speak with a reputable dumpster rental company. Let them know what kind of job you're doing and the types of materials you'll be disposing of. These professionals have experience fitting heavy and bulky items into their dumpsters and can guide you on how to dispose of everything safely and legally. A representative should be able to recommend the best dumpster for your needs. Often, the company will advise you to choose a slightly larger size to help you avoid potential overage charges.

Whether you hire leaf removal done during the spring or fall or both, it’s often a good time to have the leaf removal company tackle other projects if they offer other lawn services. Other projects to bundle with leaf removal include:

  • Junk removal: $60–$600

  • Mowing: $50–$200

  • Weeding: $70–$150

  • Mulching: $75 per cubic yard

  • Hedge and tree pruning: $75–850

  • Lawn aeration: $0.10–$0.35 per square foot

  • Garden cleanup: $45–$75 per hour

You cannot put anything you want into a rented dumpster, as there are significant restrictions on certain items.

Generally allowed items include:

  • Household Junk: Furniture, old linens, carpets, toys, small appliances, and excess trash.

  • Construction & Yard Debris: Wood, yard debris, roofing materials, old finishes, and other construction waste.

Commonly prohibited items include:

  • Hazardous Materials: Toxic waste, medical waste, dangerous chemicals, items with lead paint, and asbestos.

  • Flammables: Gasoline, oil, and fuel.

  • Specific Banned Items: Paint cans, electronics, batteries, tires, refrigerators, and hot water tanks.

Because rules can vary, you should always check with your specific dumpster rental company for their guidelines if you are unsure about an item.

Some no-cost ways to get rid of old furniture include listing it on giveaway sites, donating it to charity, or leaving it out for trash collection. Most of these free methods require you to remove the item from your house first, but a little labor can save you a lot on removal costs.

Dry, unopened bags of mortar mix can be donated to neighbors, friends, or family who may have use for them. If you want to dispose of mixed mortar, you can dilute the mixture with water and pour it in a remote, unused area of your yard that won’t be affected.
