Whether you're clearing out a garage or running a full demo, we have the right container for the job. We work with homeowners, contractors, property managers, and businesses across South San Francisco, and we've seen just about every type of project there is.
On the residential side, that means garage and attic cleanouts, estate cleanouts, moving prep, yard waste and landscaping debris, and home renovation or remodeling projects. If you're downsizing or clearing out a property after a loss, we handle those jobs with care.
For contractors and commercial customers, we handle construction debris, roofing tear-offs, demolition waste, flooring removal, drywall disposal, and full office or retail cleanouts. We also support foreclosure cleanouts and hoarding situations where volume and discretion both matter.
Our experienced crew that respects your property shows up prepared, places the container where you need it, and hauls everything away when the job is done. We've got you covered.
Choosing the right container size saves you money and keeps your project on schedule. Too small and you're paying for a second haul. Too large and you're paying for space you don't need. Here's a straightforward breakdown of what we offer.
The 10-yard container holds roughly 4 pickup-truck loads of debris. It's a solid choice for small cleanouts, single-room renovations, or light yard work. If you're clearing out a garage or doing a bathroom remodel, this is often the right fit.
For projects involving dense, heavy materials like concrete, brick, or dirt, we offer a lowboy variant. This container is built to handle the weight that standard roll-offs are not rated for. Capacity is based on weight limits rather than volume, so it's ideal when your debris is heavy but the pile isn't necessarily large.
The 12-yard holds roughly 5 pickup-truck loads of debris. It works well for medium-sized cleanouts, small remodels, or a full attic purge. A good middle-ground option when the 10-yard feels tight but the next size up seems like more than you need.
At roughly 7 pickup-truck loads of debris, the 15-yard is one of our most versatile sizes. It handles kitchen and bathroom renovations, flooring removal across multiple rooms, and mid-sized landscaping projects with room to spare.
The 20-yard holds roughly 10 pickup-truck loads of debris and is one of the most popular choices for full home cleanouts, large remodels, and roofing tear-offs. It gives contractors the volume they need without going oversized.
Holding roughly 14 pickup-truck loads of debris, the 30-yard is built for larger construction and demolition jobs. New construction, major additions, and multi-room gut jobs are where this container earns its keep.
Our largest container holds roughly 15 pickup-truck loads of debris. It's the right call for commercial cleanouts, large-scale demolition, and industrial projects where volume is the primary concern.
We stand behind every rental, and that includes helping you pick the right size before you book. Call us and we'll talk through your project.
The right dumpster makes all the difference, and so does getting it when you actually need it. We offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout South San Francisco, so you're not waiting around while your project sits idle.
Rental periods are flexible. Whether you need a container for a single day, a weekend, a full week, or longer, we work around your timeline. Extended rentals and swap-out service are available when the job runs longer than expected or when you fill up faster than planned.
When it comes to placement, we work with you to find the best spot. Driveway placement is common and keeps things straightforward. If you need the container placed on a public street, we can walk you through the permit process with the city. It's usually simple, and we'll point you in the right direction.
We'll take it from there.
Some projects take a day, others take a week. Either way, you deserve to know what you're paying before the truck arrives. Our flat-rate pricing covers delivery, pickup, disposal, and a standard weight allowance in one clear number. No surprise charges added after the fact.
A few things can affect your final price: the size of the container, the length of the rental, and whether your debris exceeds the standard weight allowance. We'll cover all of that upfront when you call for a free estimate.
Our repeat customers are homeowners and contractors we recognize. They come back because the pricing is honest and the service is consistent. We offer contractor accounts and can accommodate recurring or multi-job rentals for customers who need containers on a regular basis.
We're easy to work with.
We take pride in the work we do, and that extends to how we handle what goes into our containers. Once your dumpster is hauled away, debris is taken to a licensed transfer station where materials are sorted and recyclables are diverted from the landfill where possible.
We'll also help you understand what can and cannot go into a roll-off container. Prohibited and restricted materials include hazardous waste, chemicals, paints, tires, and certain electronics. If you're not sure about a specific item, just ask when you call and we'll give you a straight answer.
Responsible disposal matters to us and to the communities we serve across San Mateo County.
We deliver throughout South San Francisco and the surrounding area, including Daly City, San Bruno, Pacifica, Millbrae, Brisbane, and Colma. Our local knowledge means we understand access points, narrow streets, and neighborhood considerations that matter when placing a large container.
Quick delivery across the area is something we're set up to do well. Whether your project is right in South San Francisco or a few miles out, we can get a container to you fast.
We've got you covered.
Our standard rental period is one week, though daily and monthly options are available. If your project runs longer, call us before the rental period ends and we will arrange an extension. We do not want the container pulled before you are finished.
Each container comes with a standard weight allowance built into the flat rate. If your debris exceeds that limit, we charge a per-ton overage fee. We tell you the rate before you book so you know what to expect if your load runs heavy.
Yes, we can place containers on gravel and most unpaved surfaces. Let us know the surface type when you call so we can plan the placement correctly and bring any protective materials that might be needed. The goal is always to protect your property and keep the container stable.
If you need the container placed on a public street rather than private property, a permit from the city is typically required. Rules vary by location. When you call, we can walk you through what is generally needed in South San Francisco so you are not caught off guard before delivery.
Placing a container on a public street without the required permit can result in fines or a city-ordered removal of the container. That can stop your project cold and cost more than the permit itself. We recommend sorting the permit out before delivery and we are happy to point you in the right direction.
The fill line is the maximum load height marked on the container, typically at the top of the side walls. Debris loaded above that line creates a safety hazard during transport and may cause us to refuse pickup until the load is leveled. Keeping your load at or below the fill line protects you, our crew, and other drivers on the road.
An uneven or overloaded container can shift during transport, which creates a serious hazard on public roads. Level loading also helps ensure your debris stays within the weight limit. We ask every customer to load evenly and keep the fill line in mind throughout the project.
Dense materials add up in weight faster than they fill volume. For heavy debris, we recommend spreading it across the container floor and mixing it with lighter materials where possible. If you are working with a large volume of concrete or dirt, ask us about the lowboy variant, which is built for heavy debris and rated by weight rather than volume.
We take care with every placement, but heavy containers can leave marks on delicate surfaces like sealcoating or stamped concrete. Let us know your surface type when you call and we will discuss protective options. In some cases, a street placement with a permit is a better choice for sensitive driveways.
Sloped driveways and low clearances can affect how and where we place the container. Tell us about your site conditions when you call and we will assess whether the placement is workable or whether a street drop is a better option. We have handled tight access situations throughout the area and will give you an honest answer.
Yes. For large job sites or projects with multiple debris types, we can arrange more than one container. Call us to discuss the scope of your project and we will coordinate delivery and pickup for each unit.

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.
