Long Beach is a barrier island city in Nassau County, on the South Shore of Long Island, with a 2020 Census population of 35,029. It is a compact beach city: the boardwalk runs along the ocean side, the bay side holds the Canals neighborhood, and the West End and East End pack houses, condos, and garden apartments onto narrow lots. Dumpster work here is shaped by the island. Storm rebuild and repair is a recurring reality on the South Shore, where nor'easters and coastal storms damage roofs, decks, fencing, and ground floor interiors. Add the normal rhythm of a beach city, condo turnovers, seasonal cleanouts, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and roofing tear offs, and Long Beach keeps a dumpster busy all year. Call (833) 748-4153 and tell us about your project, and we will help you pick the right size.
The storm rebuild angle is the one that sets Long Beach apart from the rest of Nassau County. After a storm, the debris comes fast: damaged drywall and flooring from ground floor flooding, torn roofing and siding, broken fencing and decking, and household contents that cannot be saved. When that happens, timing matters, and the right move is to call early, describe the damage, and get a container scheduled. A 20 yard container fits most storm damaged rooms and roofing jobs, and a 30 yard container suits a whole floor or a full house rebuild. If you are not sure what you need, describe the damage on the phone and we will help you size it. And if your project is an insurance repair, keep your paperwork separate from the debris: photograph the damage before you load the container.
Everyday Long Beach work is more familiar. The city's housing ranges from older beach houses and bungalows to newer condos and apartment buildings, and all of it gets remodeled, re-roofed, and cleaned out. The West End, with its small lots and narrow streets, rewards a smaller container and careful placement. The East End and the Canals, with larger lots and wider streets, can take a bigger box. Condo and co-op buildings have their own rules about container placement, so check with building management before you book, and call us with the details so the delivery goes smoothly the first time.
Lot size decides a lot in Long Beach. Many homes here sit on smaller lots than the Nassau County average, with short driveways and narrow side streets. A 10 yard container is the right call for a small cleanout, a half bath remodel, or a garage clear out, and it is the box to choose for heavy debris like concrete and dirt. A 15 yard container is a smart middle size for a basement finish, a deck removal, or a downsizing cleanout. A 20 yard container is the most popular size, handling whole room remodels, roofing tear offs, and full house cleanouts. A 30 yard container suits a whole home renovation, a storm rebuild, or an estate cleanout, and a 40 yard container belongs on a construction site or a large commercial job.
| Size | Typical dimensions | Capacity | Included weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | About 14 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 3.5 ft high | About 3 pickup loads | 1 to 2 tons |
| 15 yard | About 16 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 4.5 ft high | 4 to 5 pickup loads | About 2 tons |
| 20 yard | About 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 4.5 ft high | 6 to 8 pickup loads | 2 to 4 tons |
| 30 yard | About 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 6 ft high | 9 to 12 pickup loads | 3 to 5 tons |
| 40 yard | About 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 8 ft high | About 12 pickup loads | 4 to 5 tons |
Heavy debris needs care here, because storm rebuild work produces a lot of it. Wet drywall and flooring are heavier than they look, and concrete, brick, and roofing shingles are heavy by nature. A large container full of heavy material cannot legally be hauled, so if your project is mostly concrete, dirt, or roofing, use a smaller box: a 10 yard container for concrete and dirt, and a 20 yard container as the sensible ceiling for a roofing tear off. If your project mixes heavy and light debris, load the heavy material first, keep it level, and tell us about the mix when you call so we can plan the load with you. When in doubt between two sizes, describe the project on the phone and we will steer you to the one that fits.
The permit rule in Long Beach follows the general New York pattern. A dumpster placed entirely on private property, such as your driveway, generally needs no permit. A dumpster placed on a public street, in a parking lane, or on a sidewalk usually needs a permit from the city. Permit rules and requirements vary by municipality, and Long Island's towns and villages each run their own programs, so we do not publish a specific fee or form here. If your container needs to go on the street, call us before you book and we will talk through what the city requires and how to plan the timing.
Because Long Beach lots are often small, the driveway question comes up more here than in most Nassau County communities. If your driveway fits the container, use it and skip the permit entirely. If it does not, a smaller container may fit where a larger one will not, and a 10 yard box on the driveway beats a 20 yard box on the street that needs a permit. After a storm, when many neighbors need containers at once, plan ahead: street space is scarce, and a container booked early is a container placed where you want it.
Most of the debris a project produces can go straight in the box. Household junk, furniture, mattresses, carpet and padding, drywall, plaster and lath, wood, siding, roofing shingles, concrete, brick, block, dirt, and yard waste are all fine. If it came out of a house or a job site and it is not on the banned list below, it almost certainly belongs in the dumpster.
New York law keeps some things out of landfills entirely, and some things are simply unsafe to haul in an open container. Do not load any of these:
Not sure about an item? Call (833) 748-4153 before you load it. A two minute call beats a rejected load or a return trip.
The driver needs about 60 feet of clear space to drop the container and roughly 23 to 25 feet of vertical clearance. On Long Beach's narrower streets, especially in the West End, that means planning around parked cars. Clear the driveway, move cars out of the way, and trim back any low branch that hangs over the drop zone. Low wires are worth a look too, especially on older streets where service lines run low over the driveway. If the street is tight, tell us when you book, because the driver may need to approach from a particular direction, and a few minutes of planning saves a failed drop.
Once the container is down, load it at your own pace during your rental period. The standard rental period is 7 days, and longer rentals are available. Load heavy material first and spread it evenly, keep debris below the fill line, and keep the banned items above out of the box. Wet storm debris is heavy, so spread it out and do not overfill. When the container is full or you are finished, call (833) 748-4153 and we will pick it up and handle disposal. If you need a second container, we can arrange a swap so your project keeps moving without a gap. And remember to call 811 before any ground disturbance, it is state law and it protects you from hitting a buried utility line.
A dumpster placed entirely on your driveway or other private property generally needs no permit. A dumpster placed on a public street or sidewalk usually needs a city permit. Permit rules vary by municipality, so call us for guidance before booking a street placement.
A 20 yard container fits most storm damaged rooms and roofing jobs. A whole floor or a full house rebuild usually needs a 30 yard container. Describe the damage on the phone and we will help you size it, and photograph the damage before you load the container.
A 10 yard container fits most small driveways and holds about 3 pickup loads. A 15 yard container is the next step up. Tell us about your driveway when you call and we will help you pick a size that fits both the property and the project.
The standard rental period is 7 days, and longer rentals are available. Call (833) 748-4153 to arrange the schedule that fits your project.
Hazardous waste, wet paint, tires, batteries, propane tanks, asbestos containing material, medical waste, and electronics are not allowed. Electronics are banned from New York landfills under the Electronic Equipment Recycling and Reuse Act.
