Real reviews from Pittsburgh customers
“We came back to Sun City for the winter to find that the refrigerator broke and all the food was rotten. Johnathan came over at 5:30 on a Friday evening to pick up all the spoiled food. He was really nice and super helpful! Great value for the price as well. I cannot recommend him enough!”
“Prompt, courteous, efficient and thorough. I had a ton of debris outside and some furniture inside and they just got to work. This at 8am on the coldest day of the year and never a complaint about the temperature. Except by me!! Would definitely recommend. 6 stars if I could.”

Roofing Projects
A typical Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh. 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 Pittsburghtypically 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 Pittsburghgarage 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 Pittsburgh 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.
