Residential Dumpster Rentals in Altoona
Altoona is one of the fastest-growing communities on the east side of the Des Moines metro. The city ran a special census in 2024 to capture just how quickly it had expanded. That growth means new subdivisions going up alongside established neighborhoods that are seeing a steady wave of renovation projects.
The older residential areas near downtown along 8th Street SE and in neighborhoods like Clay Estates have homes from the 1970s through the 1990s where kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, roof replacements, and basement finishing are common. The newer developments on the east and south sides of town have homeowners finishing landscaping, building fences, and cleaning up construction debris left over from their builds.
A roll-off dumpster handles all of it. Instead of making multiple trips to the Metro Park East Landfill in nearby Mitchellville, you load everything into the dumpster in your driveway and call us when you are done. All of our dumpsters are driveway-safe, so your concrete and asphalt stay protected.
If your project will fill more than two pickup truck loads, a dumpster rental will save you time, gas, and disposal fees. Our Altoona customers rent dumpsters for renovations, whole-home cleanouts, spring and fall yard waste, estate sales, storm cleanup, and moving. Our standard rental period is 7 days with extended options for longer projects.
Commercial Dumpster Rentals in Altoona
Altoona has a thriving commercial market anchored by Adventureland Park, Prairie Meadows Casino and Racetrack, and the entertainment and retail corridor along 1st Avenue. The city also has over 1,600 acres of development-ready land, which means new commercial construction is a constant. Contractors working on retail buildouts, restaurant renovations, office projects, and new residential construction all need reliable dumpster service.
We deliver roll-off dumpsters to active construction sites, demolition projects, commercial renovations, and landscaping jobs across Altoona. Need more than one dumpster at a time? We handle multi-container jobs and can rotate units on and off your site as you fill them. Long-term rental options are available for crews that need a dumpster for weeks or months at a time.
What Size Dumpster Do You Need in Altoona?
Choosing the right dumpster size keeps your project on budget. Here is what each of our five sizes handles best.
Our 10-yard dumpster works well for a garage cleanout, a single-room project, or a small yard waste job. It holds up to 2 tons and starts at $325.
The 15-yard dumpster is a good fit for a bathroom remodel or a moderate basement cleanout. If you are pulling out tile, drywall, and old fixtures, this size handles it. It includes up to 2 tons and starts at $335.
Our 20-yard dumpster is our most popular rental. It handles a kitchen renovation, a roof tear-off, or a major declutter. It includes up to 2 tons and starts at $345.
The 30-yard dumpster is built for bigger projects. A whole-home cleanout, a multi-room remodel, or a large landscaping overhaul fits well here. It includes up to 3 tons and starts at $465.
Our 40-yard dumpster is the largest size we offer. It handles major demolition, commercial construction debris, and large-scale renovation projects. It includes up to 3 tons and starts at $665.
We also offer a concrete, dirt, sod, and brick dumpster at a flat rate of $400 for heavy material disposal.
Every rental includes delivery, pickup, and disposal up to your included weight limit. Additional weight is $60 per ton, prorated. A fuel surcharge is added to every rental and varies by distance from our location. Appliances are $60 each and mattresses are $20 each.
What Can and Cannot Go in the Dumpster
Most household and construction debris is fine to load. That includes drywall, lumber, flooring, shingles, siding, furniture, appliances (with surcharge), mattresses (with surcharge), yard waste, and general junk.
Items that are not allowed include wet paint, oil, adhesives, chemicals, batteries, tires, engines, dirt, sand, concrete (unless you rent our dedicated concrete dumpster), and anything flammable or explosive. Not sure about a specific item? Call us and we will let you know before you load it.

Do You Need a Permit for a Dumpster in Altoona?
If the dumpster is going on your driveway or private property, no permit is needed. If it needs to be placed on a public street or right-of-way, the City of Altoona may require a ROW permit through the Engineering Department. You can apply online through the city's permit portal or contact the Building Department at (515) 957-5128 for guidance. Visit altoona-iowa.com for more information.
