Dumpster Rental Services in Reno
Old Southwest and Midtown homes are full of plaster and lath, old wiring and heavy clawfoot tubs when they get renovated. Newer neighborhoods like Somersett, Damonte Ranch and South Meadows generate basement and garage finishing, landscape installs and move-in debris.

Dumpster Sizes Available in Reno
A 20-yard is the most popular size in Reno for full-room remodels and garage cleanouts. 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.
The small dumpster for heavy or compact jobs: a bathroom tear-out, a single-room flooring swap, or a load of concrete, dirt or roofing shingles. Heavy debris belongs in a 10 because it hits the weight limit before it fills a bigger box.
15-Yard Dumpster
About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup-truck loads.
Right for a single-room remodel with cabinets, a carpet-and-pad swap or a mid-sized cleanout.
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 Reno, Sparks & Lake Tahoe. 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.
A construction dumpster for additions, new builds and whole-house gut jobs. The taller walls mean more debris capacity without a longer footprint.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup-truck loads.
Reserved for the biggest jobs in Reno: new construction, commercial demo and large cleanouts.
Which size fits common Reno 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. |
| Farmhouse remodel | 15-yard | A room-by-room remodel in an older farmhouse fits a 15, with room for plaster and old flooring. |
| 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. |
| Barn or shed cleanout | 30-yard | Old lumber, broken equipment parts and stored junk from an outbuilding take up volume fast. |
Dumpster Rental Prices in Reno
Every quote is all-in: delivery, pickup, a seven-day rental period and disposal up to the included tonnage for that size. What changes the price is size, debris weight and how long you keep the container.
| Size | Typical price | Included tonnage | Rental period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-yard | $325–$425 | 1 ton | 7 days |
| 15-yard | $365–$475 | 1.5 tons | 7 days |
| 20-yard | $395–$525 | 2 tons | 7 days |
| 30-yard | $475–$625 | 3 tons | 7 days |
| 40-yard | $550–$725 | 4 tons | 7 days |
Reno sits inside our core Reno, Sparks & Lake Tahoe service zone, so there's no distance surcharge on top of the base rate. Delivery fee and pickup fee are already built into the quote.
The two things that add to your bill are extra weight above your included tonnage and extra days beyond the rental period. We'd rather size you correctly up front than surprise you later.
Sample Reno quotes
Defensible-space clearing in Midtown
20-yard, 2 tons included, typically $395–$525
Brush and limbs are light and bulky, so a 20 holds a lot of clearing without weight trouble.
Barn or shed cleanout in the Old Southwest
30-yard, 3 tons included, typically $475–$625
Old lumber, broken equipment parts and stored junk from an outbuilding take up volume fast.
Fence replacement in Somersett
20-yard, 2 tons included, typically $395–$525
Wood rails, posts and wire from a few hundred feet of fence fit a 20. Set concrete footings aside for a smaller box.
Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Framing scrap, drywall, trim, doors, windows, flooring, shingles and clean concrete are all accepted. Break down long boards so they lie flat.
Household Junk
Almost everything from a household cleanout in Midtown: old furniture, broken appliances, rugs, boxes, and the stuff that's lived in the garage for ten years.
Yard Waste
Clean green waste, cut branches and landscaping debris go in. Pine needles, fallen limbs after windstorms and old sod are common Reno yard loads. Keep dirt and rock to a small container.
Prohibited items. Prohibited items include hazardous waste, wet paint, chemicals, solvents, fuel, car batteries, tires, propane tanks and anything containing asbestos. Washoe County and local waste providers run drop-off options for household hazardous waste.
How to keep your Reno dumpster cost down
- Keep water and snow out. A tarp keeps rain and snow from adding weight you pay for.
- Load flat and full. Lay large, flat items on the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris. Air pockets cost money.
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- 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.
Most roll-off debris from the Truckee Meadows goes to Lockwood Regional Landfill east of Sparks. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.
Dumpster Rental for Different Projects
Home Renovation Dumpster Rental
Renovation debris from homes around Caughlin Ranch runs heavy on drywall and tile, so we size by weight as well as volume.
Construction Dumpster Rental
New construction and additions in Washoe County generate framing scrap, packaging and drywall offcuts. We keep a fresh box on site as you go.
Roofing Dumpster Rental
Shingles are heavy. One layer of asphalt shingles on a typical single-story home fits in a 10 or 15, and we set the box close to the drip line so the crew can toss straight in.
Moving & Cleanout Dumpster Rental
House cleanout and garage cleanout jobs fill up quickly. Break down furniture and load the heaviest items first.
Junk Removal Dumpster Rental
Clearing clutter from a Reno property is easier when the container sits right in the driveway.
Estate Cleanout Dumpster Rental
Clearing a loved one's home is hard enough. We keep the logistics simple and the pickup flexible.
Commercial Dumpster Rental
Businesses near the Reno Arch use short-term containers for remodels and turnovers.
How Dumpster Rental Works in Reno
Choose Your Dumpster Size
Call (725) 325-5870 and tell us what you're throwing out. We'll recommend a size based on the project, not the biggest box on the lot.
Schedule Dumpster Delivery
Choose your drop-off date and tell us where to place it. We'll bring boards to protect a driveway in the Old Southwest or anywhere else.
Fill the Dumpster
Load at your own pace, heaviest items first, and keep a tarp handy for Reno's weather.
Schedule Dumpster Pickup
When you're finished, call for pickup. We'll leave the area clean.
Weather in Reno
Reno sees snow from November to March, and a container left uncovered can fill with snow and add surprise weight. Summer afternoons bring the Washoe Zephyr, a strong westerly wind, so tarp loads by midday.
Dumpster placement
Many Old Southwest and Midtown homes have narrow driveways or alley access, and we sometimes need a street placement permit from the City of Reno. Hillside neighborhoods like Caughlin Ranch and Somersett can have steep driveways we check first.
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Reno
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or elsewhere on private property in Reno, 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 Reno. 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
HOA rules are separate from permits. Many associations in Washoe County limit how long a container can stay visible, require a tarp, or ask you to notify management first. Read your CC&Rs or call your manager before you book so the rental length matches what's allowed.
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 Reno
Spring is the rush: snowmelt cleanups, yard work and remodel starts all hit in April and May. Summer and early fall are ideal for roofing. Winter rentals work fine, but keep the container tarped and the drop spot shoveled. Local conditions in Reno: high-desert weather at about 4,500 feet, with snowy winters, dry summers and afternoon Washoe Zephyr winds.
