Horizon has been great to work with. We've been doing a lot of work around the house and the last two dumpsters arrived early or on time and the communication from Lisa Henry is outstanding. Quick, reliable and very courteous and professional! Highly recommend them for you dumpster needs!

Highly recommend! I've used them for my business many times in the Princeton and Mercer county area. All my interactions with the driver and dispatcher have always been great, and they will do absolutely everything they can to get the job done! 💯

A typical Trenton 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.

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 Trenton. If you're removing tile flooring or concrete countertops, size up to a 20 yard to stay under the weight cap.

Garage Cleanouts

Most Trentongarage 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.
