We carry a full range of roll-off dumpsters from 10-yard to 40-yard, and we offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Stamford and the surrounding Western Connecticut communities. Clean bins. On-time delivery. No surprises on your bill.
Call us today at (475) 619-3323 for a free quote and we will get the right container to your job site without the hassle.
Scheduling a delivery is simple. Whether you need a dumpster rental today or you want to lock in a delivery for tomorrow morning, we work around your schedule rather than making you work around ours. Call before noon and we will do our best to have a container at your door the same day. Need it first thing tomorrow? We will confirm your window and show up on time.
We cover all of Stamford and serve communities throughout Western Connecticut, so if your project spans multiple locations or you are managing work across town lines, we can handle it. We are a local name homeowners and contractors rely on, and that reputation means something to us every time a truck rolls out. Pick up the phone and we'll handle the details.
If you're not sure which size you need, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to anything. The wrong container size costs you money, either because you are paying for space you do not use or because you need a second haul when one would have done the job. Here is a plain-language look at each size we carry and the projects they fit best.
The 10-yard is our smallest standard container and a solid choice for single-room cleanouts, garage or attic purges, and small amounts of yard debris. It holds the equivalent of 3 pickup truck loads, which is more than it sounds when you are clearing out a cluttered space. It also fits easily in most residential driveways without taking up the whole driveway.
The 12-yard handles basement cleanouts, moderate yard waste, and light renovation debris without leaving you with extra space you are paying for. At 5 pickup truck loads of capacity, it bridges the gap between a small cleanout bin and a full renovation container. It is a popular choice for homeowners tackling a focused project over a weekend.
For a bathroom or kitchen remodel, a mid-size landscaping job, or a combination of household junk and construction debris, the 15-yard tends to be the sweet spot. It holds 7 pickup truck loads and gives you enough room to work without committing to a larger bin. Contractors running a single-trade job often find this size keeps the site clean without crowding the lot.
The 20-yard is our most versatile container for residential renovation projects, roofing tear-offs, and estate cleanouts where the volume is real but the job is still a single property. It holds 11 pickup truck loads and handles mixed loads of drywall, flooring, roofing shingles, and general junk without issue. If you are unsure whether to go 15 or 20, the 20-yard almost always turns out to be the right call on a full room renovation.
Large construction debris, demolition waste, and commercial cleanouts call for the 30-yard. Holding 14 pickup truck loads, this container gives crews the capacity to keep working without stopping to call for a swap-out. It is a common choice on multi-room gut renovations, commercial tenant buildouts, and large-scale property cleanups.
The 40-yard is our largest container and the right tool for major construction sites, full property cleanouts, and big commercial or contractor jobs where volume is the primary concern. It holds 16 pickup truck loads and keeps the site moving when the debris pile is serious. If you are managing a large demolition or a multi-structure cleanout, this is the bin you want.
For projects involving dense, heavy material like concrete, dirt, or heavy demolition debris, ask us about our lowboy option. The lowboy is a separate container variant built for weight rather than volume, and it may be the better fit when your debris is heavy but not necessarily bulky. Give us a call and we keep it simple.
For homeowners and contractors alike, we offer straightforward service with no guesswork. On the residential side, we handle home cleanouts, garage and basement purges, attic cleanouts, estate and foreclosure cleanouts, moving debris, spring cleaning, decluttering, hoarding cleanouts, and yard waste from landscaping projects. We place containers on driveways carefully, using boards or pads when needed to protect the surface. Our experienced crew that respects your property shows up ready to work and leaves your driveway the way they found it. You're in good hands.
We work with roofing crews, general contractors, demo teams, property managers, retail operators, and office managers throughout Stamford and the wider region. We handle construction and demolition debris, roofing tear-offs, concrete and heavy material disposal, and commercial cleanouts of all sizes. For contractors running multiple jobs, we offer recurring rental options and can manage multi-job accounts without a lot of back-and-forth. Rental periods are flexible. Short-term, long-term, and weekly arrangements are all available depending on what your project requires. When a question comes up, you reach a real local person.
Hauling heavy material takes the right equipment, and it also takes honest pricing. When you call for a quote, we give you a flat rate that covers delivery, pickup, and a standard weight allowance. There are no fuel surcharges added at the end and no surprise fees when the invoice arrives. We take pride in the work we do, and that includes being straight with customers about what things cost before they commit.
Every quote includes a tonnage allowance appropriate to the container size. If your project is likely to push past that limit, we will tell you upfront so you can plan accordingly. We also walk you through what cannot go in the dumpster. Hazardous materials, certain electronics, tires, and other restricted items require separate disposal, and we are happy to point you in the right direction if you have questions about specific materials.
Call us at (475) 619-3323 for a free estimate with no obligation. Call in the morning. Delivered by lunch. Picked up when you're ready.
If you need to place a container on a public street in Stamford, a permit from the city is generally required before the dumpster goes down. We can walk you through what is typically needed so you are not caught off guard. In most cases, driveway placement avoids the permit requirement entirely, and we are experienced at positioning containers to minimize impact on your driveway and keep the site accessible.
We also take responsible disposal seriously. Material we haul is processed through licensed transfer facilities, and recyclable materials are sorted where possible rather than sent straight to landfill. It is a small part of doing the job right, and it matters to us.
Size matters, and we'll help you get it right, but so does the rental window. Whether you need a dumpster for a single day, a full week, or an extended project that runs several weeks, we structure the rental around your timeline. There is no pressure to rush the job to meet an arbitrary pickup deadline.
For ongoing projects, we offer swap-out service. When one container fills up, we haul it away and drop a fresh one so the work keeps moving. Extensions are easy to arrange. Just call before your rental period ends and we will adjust the schedule. That's the whole process.
We are based in Stamford and serve communities throughout Western Connecticut, including Greenwich, Darien, Norwalk, New Canaan, Westport, and Fairfield. If you are just outside this list, call us anyway. Our coverage area is broad, and we are often able to reach towns and neighborhoods not listed here.
We have been part of this region for over two decades, and the relationships we have built with homeowners and contractors across the area reflect the kind of service we show up to deliver every day.
For a full estate or hoarding cleanout, the 20-yard or 30-yard is usually the right range depending on how much has accumulated. A single-story home with packed rooms often fills a 20-yard, which holds 11 pickup truck loads, while a larger property or multi-room hoarding situation may call for the 30-yard at 14 pickup truck loads. Call us and describe the property and we will help you land on the right size without guessing.
A kitchen remodel typically generates enough debris to fill a 15-yard or 20-yard container depending on whether you are replacing cabinets, flooring, drywall, and fixtures all at once. The 15-yard holds 7 pickup truck loads and works well for a focused single-room job. If the scope is larger or you are combining the kitchen and bathroom in one pull, the 20-yard at 11 pickup truck loads gives you the room to work without a second haul.
A permit from the city is generally required before placing a container on a public street in Stamford. Driveway placement avoids that requirement in most cases. We can walk you through what is typically needed for street placement so you are not caught off guard before the truck arrives.
Placing a container on a public street without the required permit can result in a fine from the city and may require the container to be moved before your project is finished. We recommend getting the paperwork in order before delivery so there are no interruptions. We are happy to help you understand what is typically required when you call.
Our drivers use boards or pads when placing containers on driveways where surface protection is a concern. We pay close attention to positioning so the weight is distributed and the container does not sit directly on a vulnerable surface. Our experienced crew that respects your property handles every placement with that care in mind.
A container can be placed on a lawn in some situations, but it does carry a risk of surface damage, especially on soft or wet ground. We will talk through your placement options when you call and let you know what to expect for your specific setup. In many cases, a driveway or paved surface is the cleaner choice.
Roofing shingles are heavy, and the right size depends on how many layers are coming off and the square footage of the roof. A single-layer tear-off on an average residential roof often fits in a 20-yard, which holds 11 pickup truck loads. For heavier loads or multiple shingle layers, the 30-yard at 14 pickup truck loads gives you the weight and volume capacity to handle the job cleanly. If you are dealing with a dense load, also ask us about the lowboy option.
Small amounts of concrete mixed with other debris can go in a standard container, but heavy concrete-only loads are a different situation. Concrete is extremely dense and can push a standard container past its weight limit quickly. For concrete-only or predominantly concrete loads, we recommend asking about our lowboy, which is built around weight capacity rather than volume.
Brick and masonry are similar to concrete in terms of weight density. Mixed loads that include some brick alongside lighter materials can work in a standard container, but a large masonry-only load may exceed the weight allowance before the bin looks full. Call us and describe your material and we will help you decide between a standard container and the lowboy.
Overage tonnage is billed at a per-ton rate above your included allowance. We explain that rate upfront when you call for a quote so there are no surprises on your invoice. If your project is likely to run heavy, we will flag it during the quoting process and help you choose a container with a higher allowance or switch to the lowboy if the material warrants it.
Containers must be loaded at or below the fill line for transport. An overfilled bin cannot be legally hauled on public roads, and we will not be able to pick it up until the load is brought down to the line. We cover this when you call so you know how to load the container safely and avoid a delay on your pickup.
Tires are a restricted item and cannot go in our containers. They require separate disposal through a certified facility. If you have tires to get rid of alongside other debris, let us know when you call and we can point you in the right direction for proper disposal.

How do I know which dumpster size is right for my project?
A good starting point is thinking about how much material you expect to haul. A single-room cleanout or small yard job usually fits in a 10 or 12-yard bin. A full kitchen or bathroom remodel typically calls for a 15 or 20-yard. Large construction and demolition work generally needs a 30 or 40-yard. When in doubt, sizing up is almost always the smarter move because a second haul costs more than the difference between sizes. Call us and we will help you think through the volume before you commit.
What items are not allowed in the dumpster?
Hazardous waste, paint, solvents, motor oil, tires, batteries, electronics, and appliances containing refrigerants are among the materials we cannot accept. These items require separate disposal through certified channels. When you call to set up your rental, we will go over the full list of prohibited materials so you know exactly what can and cannot go in the bin before your project starts.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing
We quote you a flat rate upfront that covers delivery, pickup, and your included weight allowance. What we quote is what you pay, and we walk you through tonnage limits before your bin is delivered.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on the street in Stamford?
A permit is typically required when a container is placed on a public street or sidewalk in Stamford. Placement on a private driveway or lot generally does not require one. Permit requirements can vary depending on the location and duration of the rental. We are familiar with local rules in Stamford and Fairfield County and can point you in the right direction when you call.
How does same-day or next-day delivery work?
If you call in the morning, we do our best to have a container at your property the same day when availability allows. Next-day delivery is also available and lets you lock in a specific morning window if you want more certainty. We work around your schedule rather than a rigid delivery calendar, so let us know your timeline and we will find the option that fits.
What happens if my load goes over the weight allowance?
Every rental includes a standard tonnage allowance that covers most residential and light commercial jobs. If your material runs heavier than expected, overage tonnage is billed at a per-ton rate. We explain how that works before your bin is delivered so there are no surprises on your bill. If you know your project involves heavy debris like concrete or dirt, ask us about the lowboy option, which is built around weight capacity from the start.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery
Call in the morning and we do our best to have a container at your door the same day. Next-day delivery is also available when you want to lock in a specific window.
Do I need to be home when the dumpster is delivered or picked up?
You do not need to be present as long as we have clear instructions on where to place the container. Let us know the preferred spot when you call and our driver will position it carefully. For pickup, just call us when you are ready and we will schedule it. If you have any specific access notes for your Stamford property, mention them when you book and we will pass them along to the crew.
How should I prepare my driveway before delivery?
Clear the placement area of vehicles, low-hanging branches, and any obstacles that could block the truck or the container. If you have concerns about driveway damage, let us know and we can discuss board placement under the container feet to help protect the surface. Our crew is careful about how each bin is set down, and we take the same care on pickup.
Can I extend my rental if the project takes longer than expected?
Yes. If you need more time, call us before your rental period ends and we will adjust. Extensions are easy to arrange and we will let you know the cost upfront so you can plan accordingly. We build flexibility into our rentals because projects rarely run on a perfect schedule.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We ask a few questions about your project and point you to the container that actually fits, so you are not paying for more bin than you need or running short mid-job.
What is included in the flat-rate price?
Our flat rate covers delivery to your Stamford property, the rental period, pickup, and a standard weight allowance. There are no separate fuel surcharges or administrative fees added after the fact. The number we quote is the number you pay, provided your load stays within the included tonnage. We walk you through all of that on the call so you know exactly what you are getting before anything is confirmed.
What counts as heavy debris and when should I consider a lowboy?
Heavy debris includes concrete, brick, dirt, gravel, asphalt, tile, and similar dense materials. These materials can exceed a standard container's weight limit even when the bin looks only partially full. The lowboy is a low-profile container built around weight capacity rather than volume, making it the right tool when your material is dense but the pile is not necessarily tall. Ask us about the lowboy when you call if your project involves any of these materials.
