Frequently Asked Questions

Dumpster rental with Big Blue Dumpster starts at $400 for a 15 yard Express container and ranges up to $600 for a 30 yard dumpster. Every flat rate includes delivery, pickup, your rental period, tonnage, and taxes — there are no hidden fees. Final pricing depends on the dumpster size you choose and your rental length. 

For small cleanouts and single-room projects, a 15 yard dumpster is usually plenty. Mid-size renovations, flooring, and roofing jobs fit well in a 20 or 25 yard container, while major construction, demolition, and large cleanouts call for a 30 yard dumpster. If you're unsure, call or text us and we'll recommend the right size for your project so you don't overpay or run out of room.

First, choose the right size and type of dumpster for your project. You can book in minutes online or over the phone, and our team delivers the roll-off container to your specified location. Once it's in place, fill it at your own pace. When you're finished, call or text us and we'll pick it up and clean up the space behind us.

Standard rentals include a 7-day rental period with 5 full-use days. Need more time? You can add days at a heavily discounted rate of $15 per day. Just get in touch with our team if you need to extend, or book additional days through our website when you reserve.

No! In order to comply with DOT regulations, and to ensure the safety of the operator and other drivers on the road, all dumpsters must be loaded within the maximum load markers on the tops of the dumpster/roll-off. If the dumpster is loaded outside of the top rim we cannot transport it.

The customer will be responsible for unloading any dumpster that is loaded exceeding the maximum height limit. Please be aware if the dumpster needs to be unloaded by the pickup driver, there will be a fee assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Roofing shingles average 400 lbs per layer per square. Due to safety and DOT weight restrictions, we will provide the correct equipment for the size job you need (may require multiple swap-outs to stay within weight restrictions).
