Why Are Some Companies So Much More Expensive?
Great question. A lot of the big national dumpster companies charge $500-$800 for what we do for dumpster rentals at $207-$467. Why? Well, most of these companies are brokers and they contact other companies to deliver a dumpster for them and they take money off the top, a service that you pay extra for.
We're a local Cincinnati operation. We live here. We work here. Our kids go to school here. We don't need a corner office downtown to rent you a dumpster. We care about delivering the best dumpster rental service you will experience at the best pricing you will find.
How to Pick the Right Size
This is where most people overthink it. Here's a quick rule of thumb:
- 10 yard — Think of it as about 4 pickup truck loads. Perfect for cleaning out a bedroom, small bathroom remodel, or yard debris from a weekend project.
- 15 yard — About 7 pickup truck loads. Great for a garage cleanout, kitchen renovation debris, or a medium-sized decluttering project.
- 20 yard — About 9 pickup truck loads. This is what you want for a full home cleanout, estate cleanout, or major renovation project.
Which Rental Period Should You Choose?
- 24-Hour: Perfect for quick cleanouts — garage purge, one-room demo, yard waste. You pay $207 + $0.09/lb for the weight you load.
- 1–3 Day: The sweet spot for weekend renovation projects. Weight is included in the price so you know exactly what you're paying upfront.
- 5-Day: Best for larger projects that take a few days — estate cleanouts, multi-room remodels, or DIY projects you're working on after hours.
What's Included in the Price
Every rental includes delivery, pickup, standard landfill disposal, and driveway board protection. The price you see is the price you pay.
