Simple pricing structure
When you order a dumpster with us, we guarantee hassle free pricing. The pricing is determined first by the size of the dumpster, then by the location of the service address.
Our dumpsters are quoted with the following charges to keep in mind
Pull charge – Flat rate based on size of dumpster and location
Rent – A typical rental is 7 days rent free, and $5 per day after.
Typically our dumpsters are billed out with a flat rate and no landfill. The exceptions for this would be
•If the landfill weight goes above 4 tons. Any additional tonnage beyond 4 tons (8,000 lbs) is billed at $60.00 per ton.
•If the dumpster goes beyond our 10 ton hauling limit, any additional tonnage beyond 10 tons (20,000 lbs) is billed at $70 per ton.
•Excess load charges are billed $20 if the load is over the no-fill-above-this-line limit.
•Any loads contaminated by yard waste is charged at an additional rate, determined by the Black Hawk County Landfill. We ask all residents to keep yard waste separate from any refuse loads. If you have yard waste to be disposed of, the dumpster must contain only yard waste.
•Some items, such as appliances and tires are not considered standard refuse, and are charged per item by the Black Hawk County Landfill.

What size do you need?
When choosing the right size dumpster for your project, there are many options and it can be tricky to estimate the most efficient size. It’s important to consider both the volume and weight of the materials.
Heavy debris, like concrete and dirt, require a small roll off for safe hauling.
One cubic yard is equal to 5-6 13 gallon trash bags.
How much can be put in a roll off dumpster?
The amount of refuse that can be put into a dumpster varies based on the debris being thrown out and the size of the container. The legal hauling limit for most roll off trucks is 10 tons, or 20,000 lbs.
We are required to tarp each container for safe transportation and to avoid damage to vehicles while traveling on the roadway. The maximum fill height for each dumpster is the top of the sides. If debris falls out of the container during transit it can hit other motorists, cause accidents, and cause property damage.
Overfilling or overloading your dumpster can result in an overweight fee if the contents are over 20,000 lbs or an excess load charge if the container is spilling out the top.
Overweight fees are $70 per ton of any amount over 20,000 lbs. Extremely overweight dumpsters may be subject to an additional pull charge.
Excess load charges are generally $20 to $30. An exceptionally over-full container may be placed on hold until the excess debris is leveled out.
How long can you keep it?
Each of our temporary dumpsters come with 7 days of rental. Rental after the 7th day is $5 per day. If you know you need a dumpster longer than 7 days, please alert the customer service rep who assists you with set up. With proper communication, we may be able to adjust, lower, or remove rental to meet your needs.
We do not automatically remove a dumpster after the 7th day. Confirmation must come from the customer to authorize removal of a rented dumpster.
Is street placement an option?
Street placement is allowed by some cities, and restricted by others. Consult your city hall prior to arranging for a dumpster to be placed on the street.
