We rent roll-off dumpsters for projects of every size, from a weekend garage cleanout to a full commercial demolition job. Over the past 12 years, we have built this business one rental at a time, earning the trust of neighbors and job sites throughout the area. No minimums. No surprises. No hassle.

Whether you're clearing out a garage or running a full demo, we have seen the job before and we know what it takes. South San Francisco keeps us busy with every kind of project: home cleanouts, garage and attic clear-outs, yard waste and landscaping debris, roofing tear-offs, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and full construction and demolition debris removal. We schedule same-day and next-day delivery so your project does not sit idle waiting on a container. Our experienced crew that respects your property shows up on time, places the dumpster where you need it, and hauls it away when the work is done. We've got you covered.
The right dumpster makes all the difference. Choosing a container that is too small slows the job down, and renting one that is too large costs more than it should. We carry roll-off dumpsters from 10 yards to 40 yards so we can match the right container to your specific project. When you call, we will ask a few quick questions and point you to the size that fits your scope and your budget.
The 10-yard is our go-to for smaller residential jobs. It handles garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, single-room remodels, and bathroom tear-outs without taking up much space in a driveway. It holds roughly 4 pickup-truck loads of debris, making it a practical choice when the work is contained and the volume is manageable.
The 12-yard steps up for mid-size residential projects where the 10-yard might run short. Kitchen remodels, flooring removal across multiple rooms, and small estate cleanouts are a natural fit. It holds roughly 5 pickup-truck loads of debris and fits comfortably in most residential driveways.
When the project grows to a full-room renovation, drywall disposal, or a yard cleanup with significant landscaping debris, the 15-yard is a solid choice. It holds roughly 7 pickup-truck loads of debris and gives you enough room to work without constant monitoring of fill levels.
The 20-yard is our most popular size for whole-home cleanouts, multi-room remodels, and roofing tear-offs. It holds roughly 10 pickup-truck loads of debris and handles the volume that most residential renovation projects generate over a few days of steady work.
For major construction and demolition debris, large estate or foreclosure cleanouts, and substantial renovation projects, the 30-yard gives you the capacity to work without interruption. It holds roughly 14 pickup-truck loads of debris and is well suited to job sites that generate high volumes over an extended rental period.
The 40-yard is our largest container, built for commercial projects, large-scale demolition, multi-unit property cleanouts, and any high-volume debris job where downtime is not an option. It holds roughly 15 pickup-truck loads of debris and is the right call when the scope of work demands serious capacity.
Not sure which size fits your project? Call us at (650) 362-8928 and we will walk you through it. We stand behind every rental, and that starts with making sure you have the right container from the beginning.
Some projects take a day, others take a week. Either way, we work around your schedule, not the other way around. When same-day delivery is available, we will get a container to your site the same morning or afternoon you call. Next-day delivery is available across our service area for jobs that need a little lead time. Rental periods are flexible, and if your project runs long or you need a swap-out mid-job, we handle that too. We pay attention to driveway-safe placement so the container lands where it is useful without damaging your surface. For South San Francisco placements on public streets, we can walk you through the local permit process so there are no surprises on that front either. Book it today. Use it tomorrow. Call us when you're done. We'll take it from there.
We built this business for exactly this kind of job. Every rental starts with a free estimate, and we give you a flat rate before anything is scheduled. The price you hear on the phone is the price you pay. A few factors shape the cost of a dumpster rental: the size of the container, the weight of the debris, the length of the rental period, and the type of material being disposed of. We explain all of it upfront, including weight limits and what happens if a load runs over the tonnage allowance. There are no line items that appear after the fact. We take pride in the work we do, and that includes being straightforward about what things cost. Call (650) 362-8928 for your free dumpster rental quote and get a clear number before you commit. We're easy to work with.
We work with a wide range of customers across San Mateo County, from first-time homeowners tackling a long-overdue cleanout to general contractors running active construction sites. The level of service is the same regardless of project size.
Residential customers make up a large part of what we do. We handle home cleanouts, garage and basement clear-outs, attic purges, estate and foreclosure cleanouts, hoarding situations, yard waste removal, and every stage of home renovation from demo day through final haul-away. Our repeat customers are homeowners and contractors we recognize. When you call, you reach someone who knows the area and can help you plan the rental from start to finish.
We work closely with roofing crews, general contractors, remodeling companies, and commercial property managers throughout the area. We accommodate job-site scheduling, coordinate swap-outs when a container fills mid-project, and set up recurring rental arrangements for contractors who need reliable availability across multiple jobs. Our experienced crew that respects your property understands that a job site runs on a schedule, and we do not slow it down. We've got you covered.
We sort and process debris responsibly at the transfer station, separating materials where recycling is an option and disposing of everything in compliance with California regulations. We accept most common construction and household debris: wood, drywall, concrete, dirt, yard waste, furniture, appliances, roofing shingles, and general junk. There are materials we cannot accept in a roll-off, including hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, tires, propane tanks, and certain electronics. If you are not sure whether a specific material is allowed, call before you load. We would rather answer the question in advance than have it slow down your pickup. We'll take it from there.

How do I know which dumpster size is right for my project?
Start by estimating how much debris you expect to generate. A single-room cleanout or garage purge usually fits in a 10-yard or 12-yard container. A full home remodel or roofing tear-off typically calls for a 20-yard. Large construction or commercial jobs often need a 30-yard or 40-yard. When you call us, describe what you are working on and we will point you to the right size. We would rather help you get it right the first time than have you run out of room mid-project.
What is the fill line and why does it matter?
Every roll-off dumpster has a fill line marked near the top of the container. Debris must stay at or below that line before we can haul the container safely. Overfilled containers are a road hazard and we cannot legally transport them. If your load is approaching the fill line before you are finished, call us and we will arrange a swap-out or an additional container.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing
Our quotes cover delivery, pickup, and disposal with no hidden fees. We tell you the full rate and any overage terms before you book, so you know exactly what you are paying from the first call.
What items are not allowed in the dumpster?
We cannot accept hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, tires, batteries, or electronics. These materials require special handling and disposal that falls outside a standard roll-off rental. If you are unsure whether a specific item is allowed, ask us when you call. We would rather answer the question upfront than have a problem at pickup.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on the street in South San Francisco?
If the container is going on private property such as a driveway or parking lot, a permit is generally not required. If it needs to sit on a public street or sidewalk, the city may require a permit before placement. Rules can vary by location. When you call us, let us know where you plan to put the container and we will walk you through what is typically needed in South San Francisco and nearby cities so you are not caught off guard.
How do I protect my driveway when a dumpster is placed on it?
Our crew positions every container carefully and uses boards or protective materials under the container when needed to reduce pressure on the surface. Concrete and asphalt in good condition generally hold up well, but older or cracked surfaces can be more vulnerable. Let us know about any driveway concerns when you book and we will take the right precautions during placement.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery
We keep containers available so you are not waiting around when a project is ready to go. Call us in the morning and we can often have a dumpster on your property that same day.
What happens if my load goes over the included weight allowance?
Each container comes with a set weight allowance built into the flat rate. If your load exceeds that limit, an overage charge applies at a per-ton rate. We tell you exactly what that rate is before you book so there are no surprises after the fact. If you expect a heavy load, such as concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles, mention it when you call and we will help you choose the right container and weight tier from the start.
What is the difference between a standard 10-yard dumpster and a 10-yard lowboy?
Both containers hold the same volume, but the lowboy sits lower to the ground and is built for dense, heavy materials like concrete, dirt, brick, and masonry. The lower profile makes loading heavy debris easier and the container is rated for significantly more weight per load. If your project involves heavy demolition debris rather than general junk or light construction waste, the lowboy is usually the better choice. Call us and we will help you decide.
How does same-day or next-day delivery work?
Call us in the morning and we can often have a container on your property the same day, depending on availability and your location. If same-day is not possible, next-day delivery is almost always an option. We keep containers available so you are not waiting around when a project is ready to start. The sooner you call, the more scheduling flexibility we have.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We help you choose the right container for your specific project before you commit. Getting the size right from the start saves you time, money, and the hassle of a swap-out mid-job.
Can I extend my rental if the project takes longer than expected?
Yes. Most customers rent by the week, but daily and monthly options are available. If your project runs longer than expected, just call us before your rental period ends and we will arrange an extension. We work around your timeline. Extensions are easy to set up and we will confirm any additional cost before making the change.
What is included in the flat-rate price?
The flat rate covers delivery to your location, the rental period, pickup when you are done, and disposal up to the container's included weight allowance. There are no add-on fees for fuel, for showing up on time, or for standard service. If your load goes over the weight limit, the per-ton overage rate is the only additional charge, and we explain that rate upfront when you book.
