Dumpster Rental NY serves the whole state with roll off dumpsters from 10 yards to 40 yards. Homeowners call us for cleanouts and remodels. Roofers call us for tear offs. Contractors call us for job site debris, swap outs, and multi week projects. Property managers call us for turnovers. Whatever the job is, the process is the same: you call (833) 748-4153, we help you pick the right size, the driver drops the container where you want it, you fill it at your own pace, and we haul it away when you are done.
New York keeps us busy for a simple reason. The median home in this state was built in 1959, and in Buffalo and Rochester the median home dates to 1939 or earlier. Old homes mean plaster and lath walls, old kitchens and baths, worn out roofs, and basements full of decades of belongings. Renovation here is not a trend, it is a permanent fact of life. New construction is surging too, with housing permits up by a third in the third quarter of 2026 and New York City completing more homes in 2025 than in any year since 1965. Every one of those projects produces debris, and debris needs a box.
Size is the first decision, and it is the one people get wrong most often. Too small and you pay for a second trip. Too big and you are throwing debris over a tall wall into a half empty box. The table below shows all five sizes with real dimensions, pickup load equivalents, and included weight. Every size has its own page with full detail, linked from the table.
| Size | Dimensions | Capacity | Included weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | 14 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 3.5 ft tall | About 3 pickup loads | 1 to 2 tons | Small cleanout, half bath remodel, heavy debris |
| 15 yard | 16 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 4.5 ft tall | 4 to 5 pickup loads | About 2 tons | Basement finish, deck removal, downsizing |
| 20 yard | 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 4.5 ft tall | 6 to 8 pickup loads | 2 to 4 tons | Whole room remodel, roofing tear off, full cleanout |
| 30 yard | 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 6 ft tall | 9 to 12 pickup loads | 3 to 5 tons | Whole home renovation, estate cleanout |
| 40 yard | 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 8 ft tall | About 12 pickup loads | 4 to 5 tons | Full demolition, commercial, multi unit work |
One rule matters more than any other when you choose: heavy debris needs a small box. Concrete, brick, dirt, and roofing shingles weigh far more per cubic yard than household junk or drywall. A 30 yard container full of concrete cannot legally be hauled, and the driver will have to leave it behind. That is why our concrete dumpster rental page steers heavy loads into 10 yard containers, and why roofers size by the roof and the material instead of guessing. When you call, tell us what is going in the box, not just how much of it there is. The material decides the size as much as the volume does.
Start with the job, not the yardage. A residential dumpster for a garage cleanout is a different conversation from a construction dumpster for a gut renovation, even if both end up being a 20 yard box. The job decides what can go in, how fast it fills, whether you need a swap out, and where the container should sit. A roofing tear off fills a box in a day with heavy shingles. An estate cleanout fills the same box over a week with light, bulky furniture. Both are normal, and both are priced around the same container, but the planning is different.
If you are torn between two sizes, the honest answer is usually to take the larger one when the debris is light and bulky, and the smaller one when the debris is heavy. Light debris like furniture, carpet, drywall, and bagged junk runs out of space long before it runs out of weight allowance. Heavy debris like concrete and shingles runs out of weight long before it runs out of space. Describe your project on the phone and we will point you to the right box the first time. Call (833) 748-4153 and tell us what you are tearing out, cleaning out, or hauling away.
A dumpster placed entirely on private property, such as your driveway, yard, or lot, generally needs no permit anywhere in New York State. That covers most residential jobs. A dumpster placed on a public street, in a parking lane, or on a sidewalk usually needs a municipal permit, and the rules vary by city, town, and village. In New York City, street container permits are issued by the Department of Transportation, NYC DOT, not the Department of Sanitation. The standard Commercial Refuse Container permit covers one container for up to 5 consecutive days and is obtained by the carting company. Buffalo requires a Public Works permit for street placement, applied for at least 7 business days ahead, with proof of liability insurance. Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, and Yonkers each run their own right of way or sidewalk permit programs. Long Island towns and villages vary town by town. Permit rules and fees vary by municipality, so call us for guidance on your city before you book a street placement.
Dig Safely New York: call 811 before any ground disturbance. It is state law, it is free, and it protects you from hitting a buried utility line.
Most project debris can go straight in: household junk, furniture, mattresses, carpet, drywall, wood, siding, roofing shingles, concrete, brick, dirt, and yard waste. 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.
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. Low wires, low branches, and tight turns can all get in the way, so mention them when you book. A standard suburban driveway in Long Island or Amherst is usually an easy drop. A narrow Brooklyn block, a steep Hudson Valley driveway, or a Buffalo street after lake effect snow takes more planning, and that planning starts with your phone call. The standard rental period is 7 days, and longer rentals are available. If you need a container quickly, call and ask about availability for your area and your date.
