Dumpster Sizes Available in Ely
A 15 or 20 fits most Ely projects. Every roll-off dumpster size below is measured in cubic yards of debris capacity, and each includes a set weight allowance.

10-Yard Dumpster
About 12 ft long, 8 ft wide and 3.5 ft high; holds roughly three to four pickup-truck loads.
This is the one that fits almost any driveway in downtown Ely along Aultman Street. It handles a garage purge, a small deck removal or a few squares of shingles.
15-Yard Dumpster
About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup-truck loads.
Popular for medium cleanouts and single-room remodels where a 10 is too tight and a 20 won't fit the driveway.
20-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4.5 ft high; holds roughly six to eight pickup-truck loads.
The most-rented roll-off dumpster size across Northeastern Nevada & the I-80 Corridor. It holds a full kitchen, a two-car garage cleanout, or roofing tear-off on most single-story homes.
30-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 6 ft high; holds roughly nine to twelve pickup-truck loads.
For whole-house remodels and additions in White Pine County, the 30 saves you from mid-job swaps.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup-truck loads.
Maximum debris capacity for light, bulky waste. Needs a long, straight approach for delivery.
Which size fits common Ely projects
| Project | Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single-story roof tear-off | 15-yard | One layer of shingles on a typical single-story home is heavy, so we size by squares, not volume. |
| Kitchen remodel | 15-yard | Cabinets, countertops, drywall and flooring from one kitchen fill most of a 15 without going over weight. |
| Whole-house cleanout | 20-yard | Furniture, boxes and garage storage from a three- or four-bedroom home usually fits a 20. |
| Fence replacement | 20-yard | Wood rails, posts and wire from a few hundred feet of fence fit a 20. Set concrete footings aside for a smaller box. |
| Whole-property cleanup | 30-yard | Scrap, old fencing, brush and household junk from a whole lot usually fill a 30. |

Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Remodels in Ely fill containers with drywall, lumber offcuts, old cabinets, tile, flooring, shingles and siding. Separate concrete and masonry if you have a lot of it.
Household Junk
Couches, dressers, tables, rugs, clothing, toys, small appliances and general junk from garage or basement cleanouts. Fridges and freezers need the refrigerant removed first.
Yard Waste
Branches, shrubs, leaves, grass clippings and landscaping debris are accepted. Pinyon and juniper limbs, snow-damaged branches and old fencing are typical.
Prohibited items. Keep out asbestos, chemicals, wet paint, solvents, pesticides, fuel, batteries, tires and propane tanks. These need special handling, and we can point you to disposal options in White Pine County.
How to keep your Ely dumpster cost down
- Pull out scrap metal and donations. Clean scrap metal can often be sold, and usable furniture can be donated. Both free up space.
- Pick the right size up front. One correctly sized container is cheaper than a second haul or an overweight charge.
- Keep heavy material separate. Concrete, brick, dirt and rock hit the weight limit fast. Put them in their own small container and use a larger one for bulky, light debris.
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- Load flat and full. Lay large, flat items on the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris. Air pockets cost money.
Debris from Ely goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving White Pine County. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.

Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Ely
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or elsewhere on private property in Ely, you usually don't need a permit. If it has to go on a street, sidewalk, alley or other public right-of-way, the approval comes from the City of Ely. Ask about the fee, how many days the permit covers, and whether reflective cones or barricades are required, and have the permit in hand before delivery day.
HOA and landlord rules
Even when no permit is needed, an HOA or landlord may have its own rules on containers. Check for time limits, covering requirements and approved locations, then share them with us so the drop fits.
What the delivery spot needs
For delivery, the truck needs a straight approach of about 60 feet, roughly 10 to 12 feet of width, and clear overhead space with no low branches, wires or eaves above the drop spot. The container itself sits about 8 feet wide, so leave room to open the rear door. On rural lots, point out your septic tank, leach field and any buried water lines, and keep the container away from soft ground near ditches or after rain.
Best Time to Rent a Dumpster in Ely
The working season runs from late spring through early fall, and those months book fastest. Winter rentals happen too, but snow and ice can shift delivery or pickup by a day or two. Local conditions in Ely: cold, snowy winters at about 6,400 feet and mild summers.
