“Best possible outcome! Spoke with Kacey she was so kind. She helped me decide what size worked best and had it there when we needed. Pick up was done when they scheduled. I cant find the words to say how grateful I am for this business. We will use again when moving.”

Dumpster sizes available in Ankeny
What size dumpster do you need in Ankeny?
Roofing Projects
A typical Ankeny roof tear-off generates 3–5 tons of shingles and underlayment. 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 Iowacan 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 Ankeny. 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 Ankenytypically 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 Ankenygarage 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 Ankeny generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in Iowa keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
