Dumpster Rental
F.A.Q.

A roll-off dumpster is a large, open-top container delivered by a specialized truck. It is designed for temporary projects that produce more debris than regular trash service can manage. Once the container is loaded, the dumpster rental company returns to remove it and transport the contents for disposal.

Brunson’s primary roll-off inventory includes 20-, 30-, and 40-yard dumpsters. Each container is approximately 22 feet long and 8 feet wide. The 20-yard unit is about 4 feet high, the 30-yard unit is 6 feet high, and the 40-yard unit is 8 feet high.

For smaller work, ask whether a 10-yard dumpster is currently available. Availability can vary, so our team will recommend the closest practical option for your cleanup.

Choose based on debris volume, material weight, available space, and the scope of the work. A 20-yard dumpster suits many home cleanouts, roofing jobs, and smaller renovations. A 30-yard unit works well for larger remodels, office cleanouts, and midsize construction. A 40-yard dumpster is intended for high-volume commercial, demolition, and construction project debris.

When in doubt, describe the job and type of debris to our team. Choosing correctly can prevent overflow, extra hauls, and unnecessary expense.

As a general comparison, a 20-yard dumpster holds about six pickup-truck loads, a 30-yard dumpster holds about nine, and a 40-yard dumpster holds about twelve. Actual capacity depends on the material and weight limit.

Accepted items include household junk, furniture, trash bags, plywood, drywall, wood, plumbing fixtures, non-asbestos insulation, metal scraps, clothing, bedding, and construction packaging. Some yard waste is accepted when separated. Always identify dense, regulated, or unusual debris before ordering.

Heavy materials require special planning because they can reach the weight limit before the dumpster looks full. Brunson’s guidelines place bricks, masonry, clean rock, and dirt in a 20-yard container only, loaded to approximately one-third full. Tell the team about concrete, tile, roofing shingles, asphalt, soil, or masonry before delivery so the correct setup can be confirmed.

Yes, Brunson’s lists bulk leaves, grass clippings, trees, brush, and sod as acceptable yard waste. However, these materials must be separated from other debris. Do not mix landscaping waste with household or construction material unless Brunson’s confirms that the load is acceptable.

Do not place hazardous material, flammable liquids, regulated asbestos, radioactive waste, PCBs, or Class 1 industrial waste in the container. Prohibited automotive products include gasoline, antifreeze, motor oil, used oil filters, and lead-acid batteries. Liquid waste containing free liquids is also prohibited.

If you are uncertain about an item, ask before loading it. Keeping restricted material out protects workers, prevents delays, and supports compliant disposal.

The dumpster rental process has five basic steps:

1. Describe your project, debris, location, and preferred dates.
2. Select the appropriate dumpster size and rental period.
3. Prepare a safe, accessible placement area.
4. Fill the container without exceeding the sides or weight limit.
5. Contact Brunson’s to coordinate pickup when the work is complete.

Our dumpster rental service handles delivery and pickup so you can focus on the cleanup itself.

Place the dumpster on a driveway or solid concrete slab, away from overhead power lines. Keep children away and leave enough room for delivery trucks to place and retrieve it. Clear vehicles, equipment, and other obstructions from the access path. Report tight entrances or limited turning space when scheduling.

Permit requirements depend on the placement and local regulations. Before using a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, ask the appropriate authority whether permission is required. Brunson’s can help plan placement, but property-specific requirements should be confirmed before delivery.

Pricing depends on size, duration, location, debris, weight, and disposal requirements. The company offers upfront quotes, and the standard rental includes delivery, pickup, and a set rental period. Provide complete details for an accurate quote.

Additional charges may apply if the final service differs from the quoted plan. Possible cost factors include keeping the dumpster beyond the agreed period, exceeding weight limits, requiring an extra haul, or changing the disclosed materials. An additional fee may also apply when disposal requirements change.

Review the rental terms and weight allowance before delivery. Brunson’s explains pricing upfront so customers can avoid preventable surprises.

Rental periods are flexible and should match your project timeline. A commercial job or construction project may require a longer rental, scheduled swaps, or recurring service. Provide your expected dates so delivery and pickup can be coordinated.

Do not load debris above the height of the container’s sides. Materials should be distributed evenly, and the unit must be safe to cover for transport. An overfilled dumpster may not be serviced until the excess material is removed. Exceeding weight limits can also delay pickup and affect the final price, even when debris remains below the top edge.

Choose a solid placement area, clear the route, check for power lines, and allow room for the truck to maneuver. Keep the container accessible after requesting removal. Same- or next-day delivery may be available when scheduling permits, but advance notice is recommended.
