What customers say

Real reviews from Minneapolis customers

Used Vern's for a cleanout in Minneapolis. Was able to deliver in alleyway with overhead wires which is great. I called around to ~5 places and they were competitively priced. Delivered within a day and picked up on time. Easy and nice interaction each time we had to communicate. Will use again

Excellent service, easy to get a hold of them due to having to make some changes. Humberto was excellent to deal with. Dumpster was Dropped off and was removed on time. Dumpsters are in great condition and price was better than anywhere else I could find. Highly recommended.

We have used Junk Genius several times recently during a move. It’s easy to book a date and time slot online and the crews are friendly and efficient. If you have a need to remove a large volume of items, I would recommend giving them a call.

Roofing Projects

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