Dumpster rental in Tampa, Florida

For most homeowners the 20 yard is the right call — it handles a garage or whole-house cleanout, a single-layer roof tear-off, or a kitchen and bath remodel. Step up to the 30 yard if you are renovating a whole house or running new construction, and the 40 yard if you are doing major demolition or generating debris faster than one crew can clear it. If you are dealing with heavy material like concrete, dirt or shingles, order a smaller can rather than a bigger one — you will hit the weight limit long before you fill a 40 yard. Not sure? Call us at 813-924-4981, describe the job, and we will tell you honestly what you need.

Our standard rental period is included in the flat rate, and if your project runs long, just call us. We would rather work with you on a few extra days than have you rush a job or pay for a second haul. We ask that you let us know before the pickup date so we can keep our schedule straight.

Florida landfills will not accept paint, solvents, oils, fuels or any other liquid; tires; batteries; propane tanks or any pressurized cylinder; appliances that contain Freon such as refrigerators and air conditioners; asbestos; and medical or biohazard waste. Everything else on a normal job site is fair game — construction and demolition debris, brush and yard waste, concrete and masonry, roofing material, household junk, remodeling debris and storm cleanup. If you are unsure about something specific, ask us before it goes in the can. A single prohibited item can get an entire load rejected at the scale, and that cost gets passed along.

If the dumpster sits on your own property — your driveway, your yard, your job site — you generally do not need a permit. You need one when the container has to sit on a public street or in the right-of-way, and that permit comes from the city or county with jurisdiction, not from us. Requirements differ between Plant City, unincorporated Hillsborough County, Tampa and the Polk County municipalities. Tell us where the can needs to go when you book and we will tell you whether you are likely to need a permit before we deliver, rather than after you get a notice.

Plan on roughly 22 feet of length for the container itself, plus about 60 feet of clear straight approach so the truck can back in and roll the can off level. You also need about 23 feet of vertical clearance — that is the part people forget. Low power lines, phone lines, tree limbs and carport overhangs are the usual problems. Take a look up before we arrive, and clear any cars out of the way so our driver is not waiting.
