Best uses for a 40-yard dumpster

- Full-house demolition or gut renovation
- Large apartment turnover or complex cleanout
- Bulky, light debris like drywall, lumber and furniture
- Multi-day contractor jobs on a big site
Watch this: You need room. We ask for about 60 feet of straight clearance and no overhead obstructions, and the box will not go on a street without the right permissions. Call before you decide so we can check access.
When this is not the right size
For most homeowners a 40-yard is more than they need. Two 20s on separate days, or a 30, usually costs less and is easier to place.
Delivery and pickup
We drop in College Station, Bryan and across the Brazos Valley. Tell us where on the property you want it and we will confirm the truck can get there. Lay plywood or boards under the contact points if you do not want marks on the driveway. For street placement, read the College Station dumpster rules first.
Rental period and extra days
Seven days is standard. Need longer? Ask when you book and we will give you the daily rate. Details in how long you can keep a rental dumpster.
