Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find your answer? Call the office, we are happy to help.
How much does a dumpster rental cost?
We price by the ton, so you pay for the weight you actually throw away, not a flat bundle with hidden overage fees. Your total depends on the size, what you are disposing of and how long the container stays. Call 941-355-6061, option 2 or request a quote and we will give you a straight number.
How fast can you deliver?
We are based in Palmetto, so most of Manatee and Sarasota County is a short drive. Call early in the day and ask about same-day or next-day availability.
Do I need a permit?
Not if the dumpster sits on your own driveway or property. If it has to go on a street, sidewalk or right-of-way, your city or county may require a permit. Ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
As long as you need it. Short rentals are common for cleanouts, and contractors often keep a box on site for months. If a container stays on site, a minimum monthly service applies. Ask the office for details on your project.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?
We place containers carefully and can set them on boards to spread the weight. Let us know about pavers, soft ground or anything we should avoid.
Can I get a lid on the dumpster?
Yes. Lidded containers keep rain out and stop neighbors and passersby from filling your box. Rain adds weight, and you pay by the ton, so a lid can save you money.
What can't go in a dumpster?
Hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, tires, batteries, oil and asbestos cannot go in. See our full list of what can go in a dumpster.
What size dumpster do I need for a bathroom remodel?
A 10-yard dumpster handles most single bathroom remodels, including tile, a tub or shower surround, vanity and drywall.
What size dumpster do I need for a roof?
Shingles are heavy. A 10 or 15 yard box handles most homes. For larger roofs or multiple layers, ask us, we may suggest two smaller swaps to keep weight reasonable.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. Invoicing is available for contractors and commercial accounts.
Are you open on weekends?
The office is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For after-hours needs, text 941-465-7877.

Yes. Mention “3 GENERATIONS” when you call for 10% off.
