Moving to Richmond, KY? Here's How to Clear Out the Clutter Fast

A local guide to choosing the right dumpster for your Richmond move, with one flat rate and $0 hidden fees.

Late summer into fall, Richmond turns into one big moving truck. Families relocate, longtime homeowners downsize, and EKU students trade one apartment near campus for another. Every one of those moves ends the same way: a pile of furniture nobody wants, boxes that didn't make the cut, and a garage that needs a reset.

We're Big Blue Dumpster, a family business, and we've hauled our own share of why-did-we-keep-this piles over the years. That's part of why we built our pricing and our process around one idea: no surprises, no runaround, just a fair price and a clean job.

A Local Crew Beats a Call Center Every Time

Call a national chain and you're often talking to someone in another state who's never driven down your street.

That's not us.

• Family-owned and operated, based right here in the Bluegrass Region
• Someone on our own team answers the phone when you call or text
• One flat rate, quoted upfront, with $0 hidden fees waiting to surprise you later
• Every delivery and pickup handled with your driveway and lawn in mind

It's a big part of why we've earned a 5.0-star average rating and delivered more than 30,000 dumpsters across Central Kentucky.

Matching the Dumpster to the Move

Overordering wastes money. Underordering means a second trip you didn't plan for. Here's how the sizing usually shakes out for a move.

Clearing a dorm, one apartment, or a single room? The 15-yard ($400 to $420) is typically enough.

Handling a full apartment move-out or clearing a house to get it market-ready? Most people land on the 20-yard ($450 to $475), our most popular size.

Combining a garage and attic cleanout, or downsizing a larger household? Step up to the 25-yard ($525).

Moving out of a whole house, or clearing a property that's changing hands with a lot left behind? The 30-yard ($600) covers it.

Only need it for a day or two? Our Express rentals on the 15 and 20 yard sizes run 1 to 3 days, Monday through Friday, at the lower price in each range.

Tell us what you're moving out of when you call, and we'll point you to the size that fits, not the one that pads the invoice.

One Number, No Fine Print

The quote we give you on the phone includes 7 days of rental (5 full days of use), drop-off, pickup, tonnage, and taxes. Need more time to finish packing? Extra days are just $15 a day, and we'll tell you that before you book.

We Treat Your Property Like We'd Want Ours Treated

Moving day is stressful enough without adding a cracked driveway to the list. We use driveway-safe containers, our drivers set each one down with your property in mind, and they clean up after themselves. When we drive off, the only thing missing should be the stuff you're leaving behind.

Beyond Richmond

We serve the whole Bluegrass Region, including Richmond, Lexington, Winchester, Georgetown, Nicholasville, Paris, Midway, and Frankfort. If your move timeline is tight, ask about same-day delivery, available whenever our schedule allows.

Book Your Dumpster Before Moving Day Gets Away From You

Moving dates have a way of sneaking up, and the last thing you want is to be searching for a dumpster the same week the truck is scheduled. Booking early means the container is sitting in your driveway when you need it, not two days after.

Call or text (859) 544-4795 and talk to an actual person about your move. The price you hear is the price you pay.
