What customers say

Real reviews from Austin customers

We have used Hands-on Trash Collection Service services on two occasions and have been impressed. They were on time, pleasant and courteous. Loaded everything quickly and made sure that they left no mess behind. Their collectors are very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend them.

Dumpster Dudez made the process of renting a dumpster for our residential clean out so easy!! In fact it was so easy, I didnt learn my lesson on hoarding. Now I want to rent a dumpster every January and start totally fresh. If you're on the fence, do it. The best thing I've ever done for myself.

They helped us handle a truck load of stuff during our move. It was great. The estimate system was a little too high but the quote was adjusted via a phone call to a more reasonable amount. A little frustrating that the system they use was so high! People can’t afford $950 to move their junk!

What size dumpster do you need in Austin?

Roofing Projects

A typical Austin 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 Texascan 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 Austin. 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 Austintypically 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 Austingarage 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 Austin generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in Texas keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
