In most cases we can get a dumpster to you same-day or next-day. The sooner you reach out, the easier it is to fit your schedule. We know a project can't sit around waiting.
Yes. We're available 7 days a week and offer emergency and after-hours rentals when you're in a bind. If a job pops up on a weekend, give us a call and we'll do our best to make it happen.
We cover Fort Smith and the whole River Valley, including Van Buren, Alma, Greenwood, Barling, and Pocola. Our service area reaches about 40 miles out from Fort Smith across Arkansas and into eastern Oklahoma. Not sure if you're in range? Just ask.
Dumpster Sizes & Capacity
We carry 10, 15, 22, and 27 yard roll-off dumpsters to fit everything from a garage cleanout to a full remodel. For really big projects, we can set you up with a two-can combo that gives you the room of a 30 or 40 yard load. Not sure what you need? We'll point you to the right one.
It depends on your project. A 10 or 15 yard is great for garage cleanouts, small move-outs, and light renovations. A 22 or 27 yard is better for big remodels, construction debris, and large cleanups. Tell us what you're tackling and we'll give you an honest recommendation, not an upsell.
Roughly: the 10 yard holds 3 to 4 pickup loads, the 15 yard holds 4 to 5, the 22 yard holds 7 to 8, and the 27 yard holds 9 to 10. It's an easy way to picture how much will fit.
As a general guide, the 10 yard handles about 1 to 2 tons, the 15 yard about 2 to 3 tons, and the 22 and 27 yard about 3 to 4 tons. Heavy materials like concrete reach the weight limit faster, so we'll help you plan for that.
Yes. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, brick, and sod need a dedicated heavy-debris dumpster, usually a 10 yard. Pricing on those depends on the material and starts around $399. Just tell us what you're hauling so we send the right can.
Pricing & Rental Periods
Starting prices are: 15 yard from $299, 22 yard from $349, and 27 yard from $399. Heavy-material 10 yard dumpsters start around $399 depending on the material. Larger combo setups for big jobs are available too, just ask for a quote.
Our standard rental starts at 3 days, which covers most projects. We also offer 7 day rentals when you need more time. We're flexible and will work with your timeline.
No problem. Extra days are just $29 per day. Give us a heads up and we'll keep it on your site as long as you need.
Weight is billed separately at $65 per ton on top of your rental. We track weight accurately and bill for exactly what you toss, so there are no guessing games and no surprise charges.
Delivery is free within 20 miles of our Fort Smith home base. Past that, it's a small $5 per mile fee out to the edge of our 40 mile service area. We'll always tell you up front before anything gets scheduled.
No. That's one of the things we're known for. We tell you the price, the weight rate, and any delivery fee up front. What we quote is what you pay.
Placement, Property & Permits
Most folks have us set it on the driveway or another flat, solid spot. Tell us where you'd like it and our driver will place it carefully. We treat your property like it's our own.
We take real care to protect your driveway during drop-off and pickup. Our drivers use boards and careful loading to keep your surface safe. Protecting your property is a big deal to us.
Usually not. As long as we know exactly where you want the dumpster and the spot is clear, we can handle contactless delivery and pickup. We'll confirm the details with you ahead of time.
Our dumpsters run about 14 to 22 feet long and 7.5 feet wide. A standard driveway or open flat area works for most sizes. If space is tight, let us know and we'll figure out the best fit.
If the dumpster sits on your own property, like a driveway, you usually don't need one. If it has to go on a public street, your city may require a permit. We're happy to point you in the right direction.
What Goes In the Dumpster
Most household and project waste is fine, including bagged trash, old furniture, appliances, and construction debris like wood, drywall, and flooring. We even take items a lot of other companies turn away. If you're unsure about something, just ask.
For safety and legal reasons, we can't haul tires, paint cans, pesticides, gas, oil, or any hazardous materials. If you've got something on this list, we can help point you toward the right way to get rid of it.
Yes. Couches, tables, washers, and dryers are all welcome. The only catch is appliances with freon, like refrigerators and freezers, which need special handling. Ask us and we'll walk you through it.
