Which Home Projects Need a Dumpster

Garage, attic and whole-home cleanouts

Volume jobs. A 10 yard holds a packed garage; a whole house usually needs a 20 or 30.

Moving and estate cleanouts

Furniture and bulky items take space, not weight, so size up rather than down.

Protecting Your Driveway

Every drop gets boards under the container's contact points. Tell us if your drive is pavers, stamped concrete or newly poured and we will plan the spot around it. No permit is needed on your own driveway; a spot on the street needs a right-of-way permit, and we will help you arrange it.

What Can Go in a Home Dumpster

Furniture, household junk, remodel debris, drywall, flooring, shingles, yard waste and most appliances. Not accepted: asbestos, chemicals and solvents, wet paint and oils, batteries and electronics, tires, appliances with refrigerant, and medical waste.

"We were cleaning out the house to prepare for a sale and you don't realize how much stuff you collected. The guys at Austin Dumpster were extremely helpful in getting me the right sized dumpster and it arrived and left with such ease. I would recommend them."
