Real reviews from Philadelphia customers
“Smooth and pleasant experience renting the dumpster. The rules are well-described online and the renting/payment process can be done online as well. I had to call to ask a few questions and the company representatives were nice and accommodating. I will use this company again for future projects.”
Dina Christensen

Their service is fast, reliable, and professional every time. Scheduling was easy, they showed up when they said they would, and the pricing was amazing compared to other companies.”

Roofing Projects
A typical Philadelphia 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 Pennsylvaniacan 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 Philadelphia. 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 Philadelphiatypically 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 Philadelphiagarage 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 Philadelphia generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in Pennsylvania keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
