What Do Our Dumpsters Cost?
Each rate below is flat for 7 days and covers delivery, pickup, disposal, and the tonnage listed. Overage past the included weight runs $95 per ton, pro-rated off the actual scale ticket. You see the ticket.
| Size | Flat Rate | Included Weight | Dimensions | Holds About |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $325 | 2 Tons | 12' x 8' x 3.5' | 3 pickup loads, 50 to 70 bags |
| 15 Yard | $375 | 2.5 Tons | 16' x 8' x 4.5' | 4 to 5 pickup loads |
| 20 Yard Most Popular | $425 | 3 Tons | 22' x 8' x 4' | 6 pickup loads (Construction Standard) |
| 30 Yard | $525 | 4 Tons | 22' x 8' x 6' | 9 pickup loads |
| 40 Yard | $625 | 5 Tons | 22' x 8' x 8' | 12 pickup loads (Industrial Use) |
A cubic yard is about a washer and dryer side by side. So a 20 yard holds twenty of those. Most first-time renters picture the bin smaller than it really is, then order one size too big anyway. Happens weekly.
Which Size Fits Which Job?
Stuck between two sizes? Go one up. The jump costs $50 to $100. A second haul costs a lot more. That’s the only upsell you’ll ever hear from us, and it’s genuinely in your favor.
10 Yard Bin
Single garage or small basement cleanout. Cheap, short, fits tight drives in Red Star and downtown.
$325 Flat Rate
15 Yard Bin
Roof tear-off or dirt and tile. Weight is the limit here, not space. About 25 to 30 squares of three-tab shingles.
$375 Flat Rate
20 Yard Bin
Kitchen remodel, whole-house cleanout, most construction. Our most rented bin by a wide margin.
$425 Flat Rate
30 Yard Bin
Estate cleanout or new build. Volume jobs where the debris is bulky but not dense.
$525 Flat Rate
40 Yard Bin
Demolition and commercial. Eight feet tall, so plan on a ramp or machine loading. Hand-tossing gets old fast.
$625 Flat Rate
What Makes the Price Move?
Overweight Tonnage
Weight past the included tons. $95 per ton, pro-rated. Shingles, dirt, plaster, and rain-soaked anything are the usual culprits.
Daily Extensions
Extra days past the 7. Extensions run by the day, one phone call. Simple as that.
Delivery Distance
Flat inside our core area around Cape, Jackson, and Scott City. A small fee applies farther out, and we tell you before you book.
Heavy Debris (Concrete/Dirt)
Concrete and dirt load in a 10 yard only, filled halfway. The truck has axle limits, and so does the law.
What's Never on Your Bill?
Fuel surcharges. Environmental fees. Admin fees. The haul-now, bill-later weight game some outfits play, where a cheap quote turns into a mystery invoice six weeks after pickup.

Why Do We Publish Prices When Nobody Else Does?
Why do we publish prices when nobody else does? Because hiding them only helps the seller. You’re going to learn the number anyway. We’d rather you find it here, compare it around town, and call already knowing we’re straight. Half our calls start with somebody reading this exact table out loud.
Common Size and Price Questions
Can I keep the dumpster longer than 7 days?
Yes. Extensions run by the day, and one call handles it. Nobody yanks a half-loaded bin out of your driveway unannounced. If you know the job runs two weeks, say so up front and we’ll price it honestly.
Is a bigger dumpster ever cheaper?
Often, yes. Two 10 yard hauls cost $650. One 20 yard costs $425 and holds the same debris. If your pile might outgrow the small bin, the bigger one wins the math almost every time.
Do prices change with the season?
The rates on this page hold year round. What changes is availability. Storm weeks and roofing season book out fast, so in April and May, order a day or two ahead instead of the morning of.
What about concrete and dirt pricing?
Heavy material is its own animal. It goes in a 10 yard filled halfway, because a full bin of concrete would blow past legal truck weight.
