Need to rent a dumpster but not sure where to start? Whether you’re cleaning out your garage, tackling a renovation, or managing construction waste, knowing how to rent a dumpster can help you save time, money, and frustration. At Complete Rolloff Services, we make the process easy with fast delivery, transparent pricing, and a range of dumpster sizes — including hard-to-find 40-yard options.
Follow this simple, step-by-step guide to learn how dumpster rental works, what size you need, how much it costs, and how to schedule your drop-off.
Step 1: Choose the Right Dumpster Size
Choosing the correct dumpster size is the first step in a smooth and cost-effective rental. If you go too small, you risk overfilling and needing a second rental. Too big, and you might pay for space you don’t need. The right size depends on your project type, debris volume, and available space.
Not sure what size dumpster you need? Here’s a quick breakdown:
10-Yard Dumpster: Small Projects
Great for garage clean-outs, yard debris, and small bathroom remodels.
Holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads
A 10-yard dumpster is perfect for tight spaces or light waste removal.
15-Yard Dumpster: Medium Clean-outs
Great for single-room renovations, carpet or flooring removal, or a medium-sized attic or basement cleanout.
Holds roughly 4.5 pickup truck loads
A 15-yard dumpster size gives you a bit more room without taking up too much driveway space.
20-Yard Dumpster: Large Home Projects
Great for kitchen renovations, roofing jobs, or large cleanouts or landscaping work.
Holds roughly 6 pickup truck loads
A 20-yard dumpster is one of our most popular sizes for residential use.
30-Yard Dumpster: Construction & Major Renovations
Great for home additions, major remodeling projects, or light commercial cleanups.
Holds roughly 9 pickup truck loads
If your project will generate a lot of debris, a 30-yard dumpster offers room to spare.
40-Yard Dumpster: Large-Scale or Commercial Use
Great for demolition jobs, full-building cleanouts, or commercial construction.
Holds roughly 12 pickup truck loads
Not every company offers this size — but we do! Ideal for serious waste removal needs.

Step 3: Schedule Your Dumpster Delivery
Once you’ve booked, you’ll schedule a delivery date. Here are some tips for a smooth drop-off:
- Choose a stable, accessible spot: Driveways, construction sites, or designated parking areas work best.
- Check for permit requirements: Some locations require a permit for street placement.
- Ensure space for drop-off: Make sure the area is clear of vehicles or obstructions on the scheduled day.
Complete Rolloff Services prides itself on on-time deliveries to keep your project running smoothly.
Step 4: Fill Your Dumpster Properly
To maximize space and avoid additional fees, follow these guidelines:
Load heavy items first: Place large debris like furniture or drywall at the bottom.
Break down bulky items: Dismantle furniture, cabinets, and boxes.
Stay within the weight limit: Overfilled dumpsters may incur extra charges.
Avoid prohibited materials: No hazardous waste, tires, or electronics (check with Complete Rolloff Services for full restrictions).
Step 5: Schedule Pickup & Proper Disposal
