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.”

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. Ask your hauler about weight limits — asphalt shingles are heavy and overweight fees in North Carolinacan 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 Wilmington. 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 Wilmingtontypically 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 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.
Construction Projects
New builds, additions, and major renovations in Wilmington generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in North Carolina keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
