Home Projects We Size Dumpsters For
Kitchen & bath remodels
Cabinets, countertops, tile, drywall, and fixtures. A 10 or 15 yard is often enough for one room.
Roof replacements
Shingles are heavy — tell us the number of squares and layers so the container and weight allowance match.
Garage, basement & attic purges
Years of storage gone in a weekend. Prefer not to haul it out yourself? See junk removal.
Flooring & carpet
Old carpet, pad, laminate, and hardwood from one room or the whole house.
Yard & landscaping
Branches, brush, sod, old fencing, and storm cleanup.
Moving & estate prep
Clear a house before a sale or move. For full-service help, see cleanouts.
Decks & sheds
Tear-out lumber, railings, and framing from a deck or backyard shed.
Siding & windows
Vinyl, wood, old windows, and trim from exterior upgrades.
Pre-holiday cleanups
Big household cleanups before Pesach, holidays, or guests — one container, one weekend.
Placing a Dumpster at Your House
Most residential rentals in Monroe, Chester, Woodbury, and Goshen go in the driveway. The driver needs a clear approach path, room to tilt the container off the truck, and overhead clearance. Point out the spot you want when you book, and ask for boards under the rails if you're worried about the surface.
If the only spot is the street, a permit may be required by your village or town. Kiryas Joel, the Village of Monroe, and other villages each have their own rules — ask your clerk before delivery.

Questions
What's the best dumpster size for a kitchen remodel?
Most single-kitchen remodels fit in a 10 or 15 yard container. If you're also replacing flooring through the first floor, consider a 20.
Can I put a dumpster on my lawn?
It's possible on firm, dry ground, but the truck can leave ruts. A driveway is usually the safer choice.
