Real reviews from Houston customers
“I appreciate that they answered the phone quickly and gave a rough quote based on photos that I sent. (Other companies won't quite until they come to your place.) They were efficient, courteous and the price was fair. Communication was excellent on phone and in person. Would definitely recommend.”
Aaron Baxter (Aaron Belafonte)
via Bongo Junko - Junk Removal Downtown Houston →“We have use Spark waste services several times, each time we have requested within 5 to 10 containers, and the service has been excellent. They have been able to accommodate pick up and delivery in our tight schedule with no problems, even on same day. Their prices are competitive and fair.”
Claudia Mena
via Spark Waste →“We rented a dumpster from Tanner and Sons and the service was excellent. Delivery was right on time, the size was just what we needed for all the debris, and pickup was quick once we were done. Super easy process that saves us a lot of hassle, will definitely use them again for future jobs.”

Dumpster sizes available in Houston
What size dumpster do you need in Houston?
Roofing Projects
A typical Houston 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 Houston. 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 Houstontypically 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 Houstongarage 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 Houston 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.
