What customers say

Real reviews from Modesto customers

Excellent service with very friendly employees! They showed up exactly on time and got right to work and did a superb job! They took a back yard that looked like a landfill and made it look like a yard again. I will be using their services again!

Bubby Dumps is great! After getting some local quotes I found their pricing to be very reasonable. Additionally, James was professional, on time, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this company for any of Dumpster Rental needs.

We hosted a large outdoor event and needed a reliable way to handle waste afterward. Prestige Dumpster Rentals CA provided a clean, well-maintained dumpster. It made post-event cleanup much easier. Everything went smoothly.

Roofing Projects

A 20–30 yard dumpster handles most single-layer residential roofs, but go with a 30 if you have a multi-layer strip or architectural shingles. Ask your hauler about weight limits — asphalt shingles are heavy and overweight fees in Californiacan add $75–$150 per extra ton.

Kitchen Remodels

Kitchen gut-outs produce cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall — bulky but relatively light. A 10–15 yard dumpster is usually enough for a standard kitchen demo in Modesto. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.

Estate Cleanouts

Clearing an entire home in Modestotypically requires a 20–30 yard dumpster. Furniture, mattresses, clothing, and household items fill space fast. Plan for 2–3 loads if the property has a garage, attic, and basement. Schedule a 7–14 day rental so you can sort donations from trash without rushing.

Garage Cleanouts

Most Modestogarage cleanouts fit comfortably in a 10–15 yard dumpster. That covers accumulated tools, storage bins, old furniture, and miscellaneous junk. If you're also tearing out shelving, drywall, or a workbench, bump up to a 20 yard to be safe.

Construction Projects

New builds, additions, and major renovations in Modesto generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in California keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
