Roll off dumpster rental in Yonkers, the largest city in Westchester County, with a 2020 Census population of 211,569. From Getty Square to Crestwood, we deliver 10 to 40 yard dumpsters for cleanouts, remodels, roofing, and construction.
Yonkers is the third largest city in New York State, with a 2020 Census population of 211,569, and the largest city in Westchester County. It sits on the Hudson River directly north of the Bronx, and it mixes dense downtown blocks around Getty Square with leafy residential neighborhoods like Park Hill, Crestwood, and Dunwoodie. That mix is what makes Yonkers a steady dumpster market all year: downtown and waterfront redevelopment produces construction debris, older Victorians and colonials in the residential neighborhoods produce renovation debris, and garden apartment complexes and co-ops across the city produce turnover cleanouts. Whatever your project looks like, call (833) 748-4153 and we will match you to the right size.
The housing stock tells the story. Much of Yonkers was built in the first half of the last century, and homes of that age are always being worked on: kitchens and bathrooms updated, roofs torn off and replaced, plaster walls opened up, basements finished, and decades of accumulated stuff cleared out. The waterfront has seen major new development in recent years, and the older commercial corridors along Central Avenue and Yonkers Avenue keep producing retail fit outs and office turnovers. Add the city's hills, and you have a place where delivery planning matters. Yonkers streets climb steeply in places, driveways can be short and steep, and narrow side streets reward a smaller container and a driver who knows the block.
Seasonal work follows the New York pattern. Spring and early summer are the busiest months for renovation and roofing, fall brings a rush of cleanouts and projects finished before winter, and the colder months are quieter but still active. If your project can wait for the shoulder season, you will often find more flexible scheduling. If it cannot wait, call and ask about availability and we will do our best to fit your dates.
Yonkers homes and lots vary a lot, so size choice starts with your property, not just your debris. A house in Crestwood or Dunwoodie with a long driveway can take a 20 or 30 yard container without a second thought. A rowhouse or a garden apartment near Getty Square, or a home on one of the city's steep hillside streets, may only have room for a 10 yard box, and that is fine, because a 10 yard container still holds about 3 pickup loads. Tell us about your driveway, your street, and your project when you call, and we will help you pick a size that fits both the debris and the property.
| 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 |
For the most common Yonkers jobs, the guidance is straightforward. A 10 yard container suits a small cleanout, a half bath remodel, a garage clear out, or any load of heavy debris like concrete or dirt. A 15 yard container is a smart middle size for a basement finish or a deck removal. A 20 yard container is the most popular choice for whole room remodels, roofing tear offs, and full house cleanouts. A 30 yard container fits a whole home renovation or an estate cleanout. A 40 yard container belongs on a construction site or a large commercial job. Heavy debris always goes in a smaller box, because a big container full of concrete or roofing shingles cannot legally be hauled. If your project mixes heavy and light debris, say so when you call, and we will plan the load with you.
Yonkers is one of the cities where the street placement rule is verified, so here it is plainly. A dumpster placed entirely on private property, such as your driveway, generally needs no permit. A dumpster placed in the public right of way, on the street or on a sidewalk, needs a permit from the Yonkers Engineering Department. Before that permit is issued, a liability insurance policy must be on file naming the City of Yonkers Engineering Department as additional insured and certificate holder. That insurance requirement is part of the city's process, and it is worth knowing about before you plan a street placement, because it takes time to arrange.
The practical advice is simple. If you have a driveway that fits the container, use it and skip the permit entirely. If you do not have a driveway, or the driveway is too steep or too short, call us before you book and we will talk through the street placement process and the timing. Do not place a container on a Yonkers street without the permit in hand. The city takes right of way obstructions seriously, and an unpermitted container can be ordered removed at the owner's expense. A short call now saves that trouble later.
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. In Yonkers, the hills add a wrinkle: a steep driveway can make placement tricky, and a container on a slope needs to sit level and stable. If your driveway is steep, tell us when you book, because the driver may place the container at the flatter part near the street, or you may decide a street placement with a permit is the better option. Low wires, low branches, and parked cars on narrow streets are the other common obstacles. Clear the driveway, move the cars, and trim back any branch that hangs over the drop zone before delivery day.
Once the container is down, loading is up to you. Load heavy material first and spread it evenly, keep debris below the fill line, and do not load anything from the banned list above. The standard rental period is 7 days, and longer rentals are available. When the container is full or you are finished, call (833) 748-4153 and we will pick it up and handle disposal. If you fill it before the rental ends, call early and we will arrange a pickup or a swap so your project keeps moving. And remember to call 811 before any ground disturbance, it is state law and it protects you from hitting a buried utility line.
