What customers say

Real reviews from Columbia customers

I have used Mid MO Roll Offs multiple times. They have helped us when we were in a bind on a few jobs, and have even used them when I clean up around my property. Trustworthy, family owned and operated, reliable, and offer affordable rates. Only company I call when we work in the Mid-Missouri area.

Very happy with my experience with Prex. Chris was prompt, positive and professional with his communication and courteous and efficient in person. "Before and after" photos attached of the quick and thorough work he did cleaning out our gutters. Would happily work with him again.

Rented a 40 yard rolloff. Midway Hauling was great to work with. Friendly and professional. Great delivery and pickup. Very competitive pricing. We will definitely use them again in the spring.

A typical Columbia 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 Missourican 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 Columbia. 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 Columbiatypically 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 Columbiagarage 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.
