How much does a construction dumpster rental cost?
Price depends on size, how long you keep it, and what's going into it. Our dumpster rental cost data shows a wide day-to-week-to-month spread, and the table below reflects what we're actually seeing on delivered jobs, not a marketing number pulled from thin air. A short weekend cleanup runs different math than a six-week framing job. If you're not sure which size fits, the dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down yardage against typical debris loads, and our 10 yard dumpster rental page covers the smallest option in more depth.
| duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|
| day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Delivery is usually a separate line. Expect a delivery fee in the $100 to $150 range for a standard job, though rush jobs and tight Kendall streets can push that toward $500 on the high end. A roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down safely, so if your driveway backs up to a fence line or a parked trailer, mention that when you book.
Which size do I need for a construction job?
A 10 yard construction dumpster handles small remodels, single-room gut jobs, and fence or deck teardowns. It's the box most homeowners in Kendall reach for on a bathroom or kitchen redo, and it's also the one we get the most calls about for a quick weekend cleanup. Move up to a 20 yard dumpster rental for roofing tear-offs or a full-house flooring job, a 30 yard dumpster rental for additions and multi-room renovations, and a 40 yard dumpster rental for new-build framing debris or commercial strip-outs. Guessing wrong costs money either way: too small and you're paying for a second haul, too big and you're paying for empty space. If your project also needs sanitation on site, pair the dumpster with a construction site services package that bundles toilets and handwashing. OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet counts for job sites at one facility per 20 workers or fewer, which matters even on a small crew renting a single 10 yard construction dumpster.
Can I put anything in a construction dumpster?
No. Certain materials are barred from standard roll-off loads no matter the size, and mixing them in can get a load rejected at the dump or bring extra charges. Paint cans, tires, batteries, and most hazardous chemicals fall outside what a general construction box accepts. The what cannot go in a dumpster page lists the specifics, and it's worth a look before you start loading, especially on demo jobs where old paint or solvent containers show up mixed in with lumber and drywall. Weight matters too. Concrete, brick, and shingles are heavy per cubic foot, and overloading a box past its rated weight brings overage fees. Check the dumpster weight limits page if your job is heavy on masonry or roofing tear-off. If crews on your site are also cleaning brushes or spraying coatings, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities for that specific work, and a handwashing station rental or portable sink rental covers that need alongside the dumpster.
Do I need a permit for a construction dumpster in Kendall?
Placement in the street or the public right of way needs confirming with the city before delivery. We haven't verified a specific Kendall ordinance number for dumpster placement, so don't take a contractor's word for it either, call and check. If the box sits entirely on private property, on a driveway or a job site pad, permitting is usually simpler, but corner lots and narrow lots near sidewalks in Kendall often need a look from the city first. The dumpster permit requirements page walks through what to ask and who to ask it of. Renters working within about 3.5 miles of Pinecrest or 5.6 miles of Palmetto Bay should note that neighboring municipalities run separate permit desks, so a Kendall answer doesn't carry over if your job crosses a city line.
Kendall Porta Pros delivers construction dumpsters across the area alongside our porta potty rental and septic lines, and most of our construction dumpster rental companies competitors quote similar day and week pricing, but ask about delivery windows and swap-out policy before you sign anything.
How long can I keep a rented dumpster?
Most rentals run day, week, or month, matching the pricing table above. A month-long rental makes sense for a full remodel or new build; a weekend or single day works for a cleanup or small demo. Ask about swap-outs if the job runs long and the box fills before the work's done.
What's the smallest construction dumpster available?
The 10 yard box is the smallest standard option and the one most homeowners pick for a single-room renovation or a fence teardown. It handles a few tons of mixed debris without the footprint of a larger unit, which matters on tight Kendall lots.
How far in advance should I book?
Same-day and next-day delivery is often possible, but a two to three day lead time gives more flexibility on size and drop-off time. Weekend jobs and month-end pushes book up faster, so call early if your timeline is fixed.
Does the price include hauling away the debris?
Yes, the rental price covers delivery, the rental period, and pickup once you're done. What it typically doesn't include is disposal fees tied to overweight loads or prohibited materials, so loading correctly from the start avoids surprise charges.
Can I rent a dumpster and portable toilets together?
Yes. Many construction jobs in Kendall need both, and bundling delivery often saves a separate trip charge. Check construction site services for combined packages, or request a quote directly through request a quote and mention both needs upfront.
