One total, quoted up front, for either rental: the 3-day with one ton included or the 7-day with two. Tell us your town and which rental fits, and the number you hear covers delivery, pickup, and the dump fee. That total is what lands on the invoice. Overage bills per ton off what the load weighs, extra days run at a flat daily rate.

A 20-yard holds about eight pickup truck loads. This is the dumpster for a full-house cleanout, a full roof tear-off, or a kitchen taken to the studs. Estate cleanouts almost always end up here too. If you're staring at a project and can't guess the pile, the 20 is usually the right answer, and it's what most of our fleet is doing on any given week.

The 20-yard comes in two rentals. The 3-day with one ton included fits fast crews: a roofing tear-off, a demo weekend, anything loaded quick. The 7-day with two tons fits how homeowners actually work, a little every evening and a big push on Saturday. Same 16-by-8 dumpster with 6-foot walls either way. Contractors get two-week terms instead; call and ask.
The 3-day exists for jobs that load fast. A roofing crew tearing off in a morning, a demolition weekend with help already lined up, a landlord turning a unit around against a move-in date. The dumpster isn't sitting in the driveway waiting for you to find time, so three days and one included ton is the right shape for that work.
The 7-day matches how homeowners actually get it done: some evenings during the week, most of it on the weekend, and a last pass for what got missed. It carries the second included ton, which matters because a house cleanout eventually drags in whatever was in the attic. If your help is one other person and a weekend, take the seven.
Extra days are easy: call before pickup and the dumpster stays at a flat daily rate. Extra weight is not something you can undo once the load is in, because every dumpster crosses the scale at the landfill and overage bills off that ticket. When you're genuinely torn between the two rentals, the one with the extra ton is the safer side to land on.
This is the size most of the fleet is out doing in any given week. During spring cleanout season and in the days after a storm crosses the Triangle, calling a day or two ahead of when you want it beats calling the morning you want it. Deliveries run weekdays and we aim to be there inside 24 hours, but we don't promise same-day, because some days the route is already full.

No, the 20 is the top of our fleet. A 30 or a 40 is a construction-site container that needs more room to set and more room for the truck to work, and most driveways around here cannot take one. For a job bigger than a single 20 we swap instead: the full dumpster goes and an empty comes back to the same spot on the same trip.
Yes, and it is the size we deliver most. If you searched for a dumpster near you for a full-house cleanout or a roof, this is the one that usually fits it in a single haul. Both yards carry them, so availability is rarely the problem; the delivery day is what gets confirmed on the call.
The 3-day is built for jobs that load fast, like a roof tear-off with a crew. The 7-day includes an extra ton and matches the pace of most homeowner projects. If you're not sure your job wraps in three days, the 7-day is the safer pick.
Weight is the limit, not space. Figure seven or eight squares of architectural shingle per ton, so the 7-day rental's two tons covers roughly a 15-square single-layer roof, with per-ton overage past that.
The 7-day rental extends at a flat daily rate for as long as the sorting takes. A full house is a lot of decisions, and there is no rush to finish them.
For furniture, boxes, and household goods, yes, two tons goes a long way. Dense material like tile, plaster, or wet carpet eats it faster. Every dumpster gets weighed at the landfill, so overage bills off what the load actually weighs, and if you describe the pile when you call, we'll flag it up front if it'll run over.
Call or text with your address and your project, and we'll aim to have the dumpster on the ground within 24 hours.
