Delray Beach Dumpster Company delivers a roll-off container to your property, you fill it, and we haul it away when the job is done. Delivery and pickup are both included in the rental. The service covers Delray Beach and the surrounding Palm Beach County area, and the rental period is set when you call so it fits the pace of your project.
The people who call most often are homeowners running garage or estate cleanouts, remodeling crews pulling out kitchens and bathrooms, roofing contractors clearing tear-off material, landscapers handling storm debris, and property managers working through turnovers or foreclosure cleanouts. This page covers the practical questions: what size fits the job, what goes in the container, how pricing is built, and how to get a delivery on the schedule you need.
We keep the focus on what customers actually need. When you call, the first questions are about the job itself: what is being cleared, how spread out the debris is, and whether the material is bulky or dense. Those answers point to the right container faster than working down a size chart.
The distinction between volume and weight matters here. Bulky material like furniture, drywall, or old cabinetry fills a container quickly without adding much weight. Heavy material like concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles is the opposite. A load of broken concrete can reach the weight limit of a container long before it looks full. That is why heavy debris is handled differently from general construction waste, and why the job description on the call drives the recommendation.
Rentals run from a compact 10-yard, which holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads and suits a garage cleanout or a small bathroom remodel, up to a 40-yard, which holds roughly 13 pickup truck loads and handles full demolitions or large commercial cleanouts. For projects generating dense, heavy material like concrete or brick, the lowboy is worth asking about. It is built around weight capacity rather than volume, and it is the right tool when the debris is heavy but the pile is not large.
Rental periods are flexible. We confirm the window on the call so it matches the timeline of the work. Reach out and we will size it with you.
A job like this is what a roll-off container is for. Most of what comes out of a cleanout or a construction project goes in freely: household junk, furniture, construction debris, drywall, flooring, roofing shingles, yard waste, landscaping material, and storm cleanup material all belong in the container.
A short list of items cannot go in, and the reason is that transfer stations cannot accept them. Hazardous materials, paints, solvents, certain electronics, and tires fall outside what a standard roll-off can carry. Palm Beach County does have options for household hazardous waste disposal, and we can point you in the right direction on the call without sending you to the wrong place.
If you are not sure whether something belongs in the container, the easiest answer is to ask when you call. A specific question about a specific item gets a straight answer before the container is delivered.
Getting started is easier than you think, and the setup looks a little different depending on who is calling.
A homeowner doing a kitchen remodel or an estate cleanout needs a container that fits the driveway, a rental window that matches their pace, and clear guidance on what goes in. A contractor running a roofing job or a deck demolition needs reliable scheduling that works around a crew, and when the container fills before the job is done, a swap-out keeps the work moving. A property manager handling a foreclosure cleanout or a commercial office turnover needs placement that causes minimal disruption and a pickup that fits a tight handover timeline.
A contractor and a homeowner get the same answer and the same care. The job description drives the recommendation, and the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. We'll find the right fit for your job.
The quoted figure covers delivery, pickup, the rental period, and a stated weight allowance. That is what is inside the number.
What sits outside it: weight overages if the load exceeds the allowance, fees for prohibited materials that require special handling, and permit costs if the container needs to sit in a public right of way. Placement on private property, such as a driveway, typically avoids the permit question entirely. In Delray Beach, whether a permit is needed depends on where the container is placed, and we confirm what applies at your address before delivery.
The best way to get a real figure is to call, describe the job, and have the price confirmed before anything is scheduled. Questions about what is included get a straight answer on the call. From there, it's all on us.
Scheduling a delivery is simple. A clear drop location, private property placement, and a job description that lets the right container be confirmed on the call are what make a fast turnaround possible.
Short-notice availability in Delray Beach depends on the current schedule and what the call reveals about timing. Short-notice and urgent requests are taken seriously, and the schedule is discussed on the call.
What creates complications at the drop site: low overhead lines, a tight or soft driveway, or a street placement that requires a permit check. Describing the drop location when you call lets us flag anything that needs attention before the container arrives. The drop spot is agreed before delivery.
Weight allowances are set by container size and confirmed on the call when the rental is quoted. Heavy material like concrete, dirt, and roofing shingles reaches weight limits faster than bulky debris, which is why the debris type matters as much as the volume when we size the job.
The 10-yard holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads and works well for a garage cleanout, a small bathroom remodel, or a single-room renovation. It is a compact option that fits most standard driveways without taking up the full apron.
The 20-yard holds roughly 6 pickup truck loads and handles mid-size renovations, full kitchen or bathroom remodels, roofing tear-offs on a standard residential home, and larger estate cleanouts. It is one of the most common sizes for residential renovation work in Delray Beach.
The 30-yard holds roughly 10 pickup truck loads and suits large-scale renovations, multi-room demolitions, and commercial cleanouts. The 40-yard holds roughly 13 pickup truck loads and is the right choice for full demolitions, large construction debris hauls, or jobs that would otherwise require multiple smaller containers.
The lowboy is a separate container built around weight capacity rather than volume, and it is the right option when the debris is heavy but not large in volume. Concrete, brick, dirt, and similar dense material are the primary use cases. Ask about it on the call when the job involves heavy demolition or excavation material.
A basement cleanout typically calls for a 15-yard or 20-yard container, depending on how much is being cleared and whether the material is bulky or dense. If the basement holds heavy material like old concrete flooring or masonry, the weight allowance matters as much as the volume.
Hazardous materials, paints, solvents, tires, batteries, certain electronics, and freon-containing appliances cannot go in the container. We go over the full restricted list on the call so nothing gets flagged at the transfer station on pickup day.
Standard alkaline batteries are generally accepted in household waste, but lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries cannot go in the container. If you are unsure about a specific battery type, ask on the call before the container is delivered.
If the load comes in over the agreed weight allowance, an overage fee applies per ton above the limit. The weight allowance is confirmed when the rental is quoted, so you know the threshold before the container is delivered.
If the job runs longer than the original rental period, call us before the window closes and we will work out an extension. The cost for additional days is confirmed on that call, not after the fact.
Yes. Rental days are calendar days, so weekends and holidays count the same as weekdays. If the project timeline includes a holiday weekend, factor that into the rental period when you call.
Yes. Multi-container rentals are an option for large job sites or projects with separate debris streams. Ask about scheduling and placement for multiple containers when you call.
When the first container fills, we haul it away and deliver a fresh one so the work can continue without a gap. Swap-out scheduling is discussed on the call and built around the pace of the project.

Choosing the right container comes down to knowing what the job is generating and how dense the debris will be. Rentals run from a compact 10-yard up to a 40-yard, with a lowboy option for projects involving heavy material like concrete or brick. When you call, we ask about the job first and match the container to what you are actually clearing. The price and the rental window are both confirmed before anything is scheduled.

How do I estimate the right container size based on the type of debris I am clearing?
The two things that matter most are volume and weight. Bulky material like furniture, drywall, and old cabinetry fills a container quickly but stays well under weight limits. Dense material like concrete, roofing shingles, and dirt is the opposite. When you call, describe what you are clearing and we will point you to the size that handles both the volume and the weight of that specific debris.
What counts as heavy debris, and when should I ask about the lowboy instead of a standard container?
Heavy debris includes concrete, brick, block, dirt, gravel, and similar dense demolition material. This type of material can reach the weight limit of a standard container long before it looks full. The lowboy is built around weight capacity rather than volume, so it is the right call when the pile is not large but the material is dense. Ask about it when the job involves excavation, foundation work, or masonry removal.
Placement Agreed Before the Drop
The drop spot is confirmed before the container arrives so there are no complications at the property. We go over placement, access, and any site-specific details on the call.
What is the fill line and why does it matter?
Every container has a fill line marked near the top of the sidewall, and debris must stay at or below it for transport. An overloaded container cannot be legally hauled. If the load is above the line when we arrive for pickup, material will need to be removed before we can take it. Keeping the load level with the top of the walls is the straightforward rule to follow.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster in Delray Beach?
It depends on where the container is placed. Placement on private property, such as a driveway or a parking lot, typically does not require a permit. Placement in a public right of way, including a street or a city-owned area, generally does. Requirements can vary by address and situation, so we confirm what applies at your location before delivery rather than leaving it to chance.
How can I protect my driveway when the container is placed?
A roll-off container is heavy, and some driveways, particularly older asphalt or cracked concrete, can show marks from the weight or the delivery process. Boards or plywood placed under the container's contact points help distribute the load. When you call, describe the driveway surface and we can go over what placement looks like at your property so you are prepared before the container arrives.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
Sizing is based on the debris, not on selling the biggest container. We ask about the job first and recommend the container that fits the work.
What does the quoted price include, and what is covered by the weight allowance?
The quoted price covers delivery, pickup, the rental period, and a stated weight allowance. The weight allowance is the amount of debris included in the flat rental rate. If the load comes in over that allowance, an overage charge applies per ton above the limit. We confirm the allowance when we quote the rental so you know the threshold before the container is delivered. Permit fees, if a permit is needed, sit outside the rental rate.
How flexible are delivery windows if my project schedule shifts?
We work around the pace of the project. If the start date moves, call us and we will adjust the delivery window. Short-notice requests are taken seriously, and what the schedule can accommodate in Delray Beach is confirmed when you call. The schedule is discussed on the call so we can find what actually works for the job.
How does the rental period work and when does it start?
The rental period starts on the day the container is delivered and runs for the number of days confirmed on the call. Weekends and holidays count the same as weekdays. If the project runs longer, call before the window closes and we will work out an extension. The cost for additional days is confirmed on that call.
Rate Confirmed Before the Drop-Off
The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. You know the rental rate, the weight allowance, and what is included before the container leaves for your property.
Do I need to be present when the container is picked up?
You do not need to be on-site for pickup as long as the container is accessible and the load is at or below the fill line. If there is anything specific about the pickup location or access that we should know, mention it when you call or when you arrange the pickup. The drop spot and any access details are agreed before delivery so the pickup goes smoothly.
How should I load the container to get the most out of the space?
Flat items like drywall, doors, and lumber should go in first, lying as flat as possible. Bulky items like furniture and appliances go in next, broken down where possible to reduce air pockets. Smaller debris fills the gaps. Loading this way keeps the weight distributed and makes the most of the available volume. The one rule that cannot be worked around is the fill line. The load must stay at or below it for the container to be hauled.
