Dumpster Sizes Available in Wells
A 15 fits most Wells 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.
Small enough for a tight Wells driveway, big enough for a bathroom gut or a small roof.
15-Yard Dumpster
About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup-truck loads.
Good for a basement or garage cleanout, a small roof, or a move-out where you're clearing years of furniture in Wells.
20-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4.5 ft high; holds roughly six to eight pickup-truck loads.
Holds a full kitchen and bath remodel or years of garage and attic storage.
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.

About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup-truck loads.
The largest roll-off we run, built for new construction, commercial demolition and big roof tear-offs on two-story homes. Keep it to light, bulky debris.
Which size fits common Wells projects
| Project | Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | 15-yard | Cabinets, countertops, drywall and flooring from one kitchen fill most of a 15 without going over weight. |
| 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. |
| Defensible-space clearing | 20-yard | Brush and limbs are light and bulky, so a 20 holds a lot of clearing without weight trouble. |
| Barn or shed cleanout | 30-yard | Old lumber, broken equipment parts and stored junk from an outbuilding take up volume fast. |
| 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
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 the historic Front Street district: 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. Sagebrush, old fencing and snow-damaged limbs are typical.
Prohibited items. Prohibited items include hazardous waste, wet paint, chemicals, solvents, fuel, car batteries, tires, propane tanks and anything containing asbestos. Elko County and local waste providers run drop-off options for household hazardous waste.
How to keep your Wells 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.
- Load flat and full. Lay large, flat items on the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris. Air pockets cost money.
- 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.
- Call for pickup promptly. When you're done, call right away so extra days don't add up.
- Pick the right size up front. One correctly sized container is cheaper than a second haul or an overweight charge.
Debris from Wells goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving Elko County. 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
Kitchen and bath remodels are the backbone of our Wells work. A 15 or 20 swallows cabinets, countertops, tile and drywall, and a rear door means you can wheel debris straight in.
Construction Dumpster Rental
Builders get 30- and 40-yard containers and swap-outs on their schedule. One call, one invoice.
Roofing Dumpster Rental
Roofing debris is dense, so size by weight, not volume. A 10 or 15 handles most roofs.
Moving & Cleanout Dumpster Rental
Garage and basement cleanouts in Wells go faster with a container right outside the door.
Junk Removal Dumpster Rental
Doing your own junk removal saves money over a haul-away crew. You load it, we take it.
Estate Cleanout Dumpster Rental
Estate cleanouts take time. Keep the container as long as you need while you sort what stays and what goes.
Commercial Dumpster Rental
Property managers, landlords and businesses use us for tenant turnovers, fixture removal and one-time cleanouts.

Weather in Wells

Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Wells
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or elsewhere on private property in Wells, 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 Wells. 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 Elko 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 Wells
