Prohibited items include hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, tires, batteries, electronics, and certain appliances containing refrigerants. If you’re unsure whether something is allowed, just ask; we’re here to help.
If you’re placing the dumpster on your own private property (like your driveway), you typically don’t need a permit. However, if you need to place it on the street or public right-of-way, the City of Tyler may require a permit. We’re familiar with local regulations and can guide you through the process if needed.
A 20 yard dumpster holds about 20 cubic yards of material; roughly equivalent to 6 pickup truck loads. It’s great for medium-sized remodels and roofing projects. A 30 yard dumpster holds 50% more debris and is better suited for larger renovations, demolition work, or commercial cleanouts. If you’re on the fence, we recommend going slightly larger to avoid needing a second container.
Absolutely. While our standard rental period is longer, we offer daily rentals for customers who need a dumpster for just one day.

| Question/Topic | Answer |
|---|---|
| Selecting the Correct Dumpster Size | |
| How do I choose the right size? | Think about the scope of your project. A garage cleanout? Go with a 10 or 12-yard. Full kitchen remodel? A 15 or 20-yard works best. Large construction job? You'll need a 30 or 40-yard. Not sure? Call us-we'll ask a few quick questions and recommend the perfect size. Our transparent pricing means you'll know the cost upfront, no surprises. |
| What if I choose the wrong size? | No worries! If you underestimate, we can deliver a second container or swap you into a larger one. If you overestimate, you're only paying for what you reserved. We'd rather you have a little extra space than run out mid-project. Our team is here to guide you with honest advice. |
| Avoiding Overloading (Fill Line & Weight Limits) | |
| What is the fill line? | Every dumpster has a visible fill line marked on the inside. For safety and legal compliance, your debris must stay below this line. Overfilled dumpsters can't be transported and may result in additional fees or delays. When in doubt, stop before you hit the line and give us a call. |
| What happens if I go over the weight limit? | Each dumpster includes a tonnage allowance (listed above). If you exceed it, we'll let you know and charge a small per-ton overage fee. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, and brick add up fast-if you're disposing of dense debris, ask about our lowboy dumpsters or let us know upfront so we can recommend the right container and tonnage. |
| Can I pack it down or stack items higher? | You can pack items efficiently, but never exceed the fill line. Stacking above the rim is unsafe and violates transportation regulations. Our drivers have the final say on whether a dumpster can be picked up. We're here to keep everyone safe and your project on schedule. |
| Prohibited Items & Hazardous Waste | |
| What can't I throw in the dumpster? | We accept most common debris, but hazardous waste is strictly prohibited. This includes: paint, chemicals, solvents, batteries, motor oil, pesticides, asbestos, tires, propane tanks, electronics containing mercury, medical waste, and appliances with refrigerants (unless drained by a licensed technician). Disposing of these items improperly is illegal and harmful to the environment. |
| What can I throw away? | You're good to go with: construction debris, household junk, furniture, appliances (most types), drywall, wood, metal, shingles, flooring, carpeting, yard waste, and general trash. If you're unsure about a specific item, just ask-we're happy to clarify. Our eco-friendly disposal practices mean we recycle and divert materials whenever possible. |
| Where do I take hazardous waste? | Contact your local waste management authority or recycling center in Smith County for proper disposal options. We can point you in the right direction if you need guidance on where to take materials we can't accept. |
| Obtaining Necessary Permits | |
| Do I need a permit in Tyler? | If the dumpster is placed on your private property (driveway, yard, or job site), you typically don't need a permit. However, if you need to place it on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way, the City of Tyler may require a permit. We're familiar with local regulations and can walk you through the process if needed. |
| How do I get a permit? | Contact the City of Tyler's Public Works or Permits Department. They'll let you know the requirements, fees, and timeline. In most cases, it's a quick process. We've helped hundreds of customers navigate this-just ask, and we'll point you in the right direction. |
| What if I skip the permit? | Don't risk it. Placing a dumpster on public property without a permit can result in fines, forced removal, and project delays. It's always better to ask first and stay compliant with local laws. |
| Proper Dumpster Placement | |
| Where should I place the dumpster? | Choose a flat, stable surface like a driveway, parking lot, or solid ground. Avoid placing it on grass (it can sink and damage your lawn), soft soil, or steep inclines. Make sure there's clearance overhead (watch for low-hanging power lines, tree branches, or garage doors). Our delivery drivers need about 60 feet of straight-line access to drop off and pick up the container. |
| Will the dumpster damage my driveway? | Our dumpsters are heavy, especially when loaded. To protect your driveway, consider placing plywood boards under the container. We deliver carefully, but older or cracked driveways are more susceptible to damage. Let us know if you have concerns-we can discuss the best placement strategy for your property. |
| Can I move the dumpster once it's delivered? | No. Once placed, the dumpster should stay put. Moving it can damage your property, the container, or cause injury. If you realize the placement isn't ideal, call us right away-we may be able to reposition it for you during delivery or schedule a move. |
| Understanding Rental Terms Clearly | |
| How long can I keep the dumpster? | Our standard rental period ranges from 3 to 7 days, but we offer flexible scheduling including daily, weekly, and monthly options. Need more time? Just let us know-we're happy to extend your rental. There's no pressure to rush your project. |
| What's included in the rental price? | Everything: delivery, pickup, the rental period, disposal fees, and your included tonnage allowance. No hidden fees, no surprises. What we quote is what you pay. That's our commitment to transparent pricing. |
| Can I get a discount for longer rentals? | Absolutely. We offer special pricing for extended rentals and repeat customers. If you're planning a long-term project or need multiple containers over time, ask about our volume discounts and contractor rates. |
| Scheduling Timely Delivery & Pickup | |
| How quickly can you deliver? | We offer same-day delivery for urgent projects if you call before noon. Most standard orders are delivered within 24 hours. Need it for a specific date? We'll lock in your delivery time and show up when we say we will. Our fast and reliable delivery is something Tyler contractors and homeowners have counted on since 2011. |
| What if I'm ready for pickup early? | Great! Just give us a call, and we'll schedule your pickup as soon as possible-often the same day or next day. You're never stuck waiting longer than necessary. Flexibility works both ways. |
| What if I need to keep it longer? | No problem. Let us know before your rental period ends, and we'll extend it. We charge a small daily or weekly rate for extensions-no penalty, no hassle. Life happens, and projects take longer than expected. We get it. |
| Preventing Property Damage | |
| How can I protect my property? | Place plywood boards under the dumpster to protect driveways and pavement. Keep the area around the container clear of vehicles, tools, and debris. Avoid placing the dumpster on grass, soft ground, or areas prone to flooding. If you're concerned about your property, talk to us before delivery-we'll help you choose the safest placement spot. |
| What if damage occurs during delivery or pickup? | We're licensed and insured, and our drivers are trained professionals. Accidents are rare, but if property damage occurs due to our error, we'll work with you to make it right. Most issues can be prevented with proper placement and communication upfront. We treat your property like it's our own. |
| Are there any surfaces I should avoid? | Yes. Avoid placing dumpsters on: newly paved asphalt (wait at least 6 months), grass (especially when wet), septic tanks or drain fields, decorative pavers, and any surface you're not willing to risk minor wear and tear. When in doubt, ask us-we've seen it all and can guide you to the best solution. |
