What customers say

Real reviews from Louisville customers

We had an excellent experience with this company. The dumpster arrived on time and it was picked up on time as well. Each person I spoke with was professional. The drivers were respectful of our property. I will definitely do business with them again. Thanks for the amazing service.

Becca has been super helpful in talking through options for our small pool business! We hope to add pool tear downs to our services soon and we can't do that without a reliable contact for dumpsters. Looking forward to working with them to help serve more folks with no hassle dumpsters!

Transformed my vision into a reality. Wanting to be an investor and making an apartment out of my single home was all I needed. Now I’m able to cover all expenses. Long journey with permits, but Justin went the extra mile to get things done . Glad to be apart of the family.

What size dumpster do you need in Louisville?

Roofing Projects

A typical Louisville 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 Kentuckycan 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 Louisville. 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 Louisvilletypically 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 Louisvillegarage 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 Louisville generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in Kentucky keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
