What customers say

Real reviews from Wilmington customers

Port City containers made our attic cleanup a success. I was able to schedule delivery and pick up online. They dropped it off when I needed it and were even able to pick it up early when we finish the job. Great service and great people. All around excellent - I’ll definitely be using them again.

Excellent experience with Tri County Trash. Great communication, on-time delivery and pickup, and the best pricing. What really stood out was speaking with a real person who answered my questions and genuinely cared about getting everything done right. Highly recommend.

Go Eco has provided the best customer service and they are a local, family owned business. I have found them to have the best rates and friendliest service. If you are thinking of changing disposal providers, put Go Eco at the top of your list they are top notch!

Roofing Projects

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

Estate Cleanouts

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 Wilmingtongarage 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.
