Dumpster rental or junk removal: which do you need?

The big difference is who does the loading.

Question	Dumpster rental	Junk removal
Who loads it?	You	Our crew
How long?	1 or 3 days	Usually one visit
Price based on	Size, days, weight	How much of our truck it fills
Best for	Remodels and cleanouts when you have time to load	Heavy items, or no time to lift
Our prices	$440 to $665	$100 to $745, by how much truck you fill

Is renting a dumpster cheaper than junk removal?

It depends on how much you have. For a small load, junk removal usually costs less. Single items are $100 to $140, and an eighth of a truck is $225. Our dumpsters start at $440. For a big cleanout you can load yourself, a dumpster can cost less because you're doing the labor.

Still not sure? Read our full dumpster rental vs. junk removal guide, or text us a photo and we'll tell you which makes more sense.

Dumpster sizes and rental rates

You may know them as roll-offs or dumpster bins. Ours are trailer dumpsters on wheels, towed in by a pickup. A "yard" is a cube of space 3 feet on each side, so a 10-yard, our smallest, holds about ten of those. Tap a size to compare it to a 6-foot person.

Dumpster rental and junk removal questions

Can I get a dumpster or junk removal today?

Yes. We're open 24 hours, 7 days. Call or text 818-231-3056.

Can't I just take it to the dump myself?

You can, if you have a truck, the time and a strong back. Most people call us because the load is too big, too heavy, or would take several trips.

What can't go in a dumpster?

Hazardous waste, chemicals, oil, paint, batteries, tires and ash. Dirt and concrete are heavy, so they only fill it about 1 to 1.5 feet deep. Ask first.

What if my load goes over the weight?

Weight over the included amount is $7 per 100 lbs. We'll explain it before you book, so it isn't a surprise.

Do you recycle or donate items?

No. Please set aside anything you want to keep, donate or recycle before we arrive.

Do you offer after-hours event cleanup?

Yes. We can schedule it between 9 PM and 8 AM. Call to set it up.
