Roll-Off Dumpster vs. Full-Service Junk Removal
Foothills Disposal offers both roll-off dumpster rentals and full-service junk removal, so you can choose the best fit:
-
Dumpster Rental (DIY-style): We deliver a roll-off dumpster to your site for a set rental period. You load it on your own schedule (typically 5–10 days) and then we haul it away. This option is great for large volumes of debris when you have time and can do the heavy lifting yourself. The cost is a flat-rate, and because you’re doing the work, dumpster rentals “cost less overall for the same size load”.
-
Full-Service Junk Removal: Our crew comes to you, does all the lifting and loading, and takes your junk away in one visit. This is the most convenient option if you have bulky items or no time to load a bin. You simply point to what to remove and we handle the rest. (Because it includes labor, this service usually costs more per cubic yard.)
-
Which to Choose? For long-term projects or big cleanouts, dumpster rental can save you money and give you flexibility. If you need a fast, hands-free solution or have very heavy items, our full-service removal may be better. Our team can advise you on the right choice for your project.

-
Fill the Dumpster: Keep the dumpster for the agreed rental period (typically up to 7–10 days). You fill it at your own pace – no need to rush. This is perfect if you’re working through a garage cleanout, renovation or construction phase.
-
We Pick Up and Haul Away: When you’re done (or when your rental period ends), just let us know. We’ll pick up the dumpster promptly and haul the contents to the proper disposal or recycling facility. If you need more time, we can often extend the rental for a small daily fee.

Dumpster Sizes & Typical Uses
Foothills Disposal offers dumpsters sized from 10 to 40 cubic yards. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:
-
10-Yard Dumpsters: About 14×7½×3½ ft. Ideal for small household projects. Think garage or attic cleanouts, minor remodels, or roofing jobs. (A 10-yard bin can handle attic debris, old shingles or bricks.)
-
15-Yard Dumpsters: Mid-size (roughly 16×7½×4½ ft). Great for decks, patios or multiple-room cleanouts. For example, use a 15-yard bin for a community cleanout or to “tear off a small deck or clear out multiple rooms”.
-
20-Yard Dumpsters: Our most popular size (about 22×7½×4½ ft). Very versatile – works for whole-house cleanouts, basement remodeling or large landscaping projects. Budget Dumpster notes a 20-yard bin is efficient for “whole-house estate cleanout, garage demolition or large landscaping project”.
-
30-Yard Dumpsters: Large jobs (22×7½×6 ft). Perfect for major renovations or demolition. It can handle debris from home additions or multi-room renovations. For instance, a 30-yard container easily fits “substantial amounts of debris from home additions, multi-room renovations and demolition projects”.
-
40-Yard Dumpsters: Extra-large (22×7½×8 ft) – our biggest available. Use this for full-home rebuilds, new construction or commercial cleanouts. It’s “the ultimate solution for the biggest cleanup,” such as full remodels or office building debris.
Our team can help you pick the right size. If you overestimate, an empty space is wasted; if you underestimate, you may need an extra rental. We’ll make sure you get the most cost-effective dumpster for your needs.
Best rental experience!
Permitted Materials
You can throw nearly all non-hazardous debris into our roll-off dumpsters. Allowed items include: furniture, appliances (remove refrigerant), cardboard, wood, plaster/drywall, carpet, shingles, metal, concrete, bricks, and yard waste like brush and leaves. As one guide puts it, dumpsters “can hold bulky items that you can’t put out on the curb, such as appliances, electronics, furniture, bricks, and drywall”.
Prohibited items: Hazardous materials must never go in a dumpster. This includes items that can cause fires, damage equipment or leak toxins. For example, car batteries (lead or lithium), gasoline, oil, propane tanks, wet paint or solvents are forbidden. Tires and sealed barrels aren’t allowed either. Always remove any compressed gas or Freon from appliances before disposal. If you’re unsure, just call us – we’ll tell you what’s allowed. Throwing a prohibited item could delay pickup or incur fines, so we make it easy to stay compliant.
