What customers say

Real reviews from Madison customers

Incredible service from start to finish. They delivered the dumpster right on time and placed it exactly where I needed it. The pickup was just as seamless. Highly recommend for anyone in the Madison area looking for a hassle-free rental!

Apex is simply the best. I had to reschedule because of delivery error of another company and Chris was more than willing to work with me. Super refreshing to work with a company like that. I wont use anyone else for my dumpster needs.

Roofing Projects

A typical Madison 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.

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 Madison. 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 Madisontypically 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 Madisongarage 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.

New builds, additions, and major renovations in Madison generate heavy mixed debris — concrete, lumber, drywall, and metal. A 30–40 yard dumpster is standard for active job sites. Most contractors in Wisconsin keep a roll-off on site for the full project duration and swap it out when full.
