Cleanout Dumpster Rental in the Des Moines Metro
WE OFFER SAME DAY DELIVERY!
Dumpster King delivers roll-off dumpsters for household cleanouts across the Des Moines metro and central Iowa. We drop it driveway-safe, you work through the house at your own pace, and we haul it all away when you are done.
The Right Tool for a Cleanout
Cleanouts are rarely a one-day job. You open a closet, then a crawl space, then the back of the garage, and the pile keeps growing. That is the whole argument for a roll-off over a hauling service: the container sits in your driveway for the week and you load it whenever you have an hour, instead of paying a crew to stand around while you decide what stays. We walk through that tradeoff in more detail in our guide to dumpster rental versus junk removal.
Adnan Isic, Owner of Dumpster King
"A cleanout goes at the pace it goes. People need the container sitting there so they can work through it a room at a time without somebody watching the clock."
What Size Dumpster Do You Need for a Cleanout?
Cleanouts are the projects where people most often wish they had gone one size up.
10 Yard: A single room or a small closet-and-attic pass. Holds up to 2 tons.
15 Yard: A garage cleanout or a small basement. Holds up to 2 tons.
20 Yard: Our most popular size, good for most whole-house cleanouts. Holds up to 2 tons.
30 Yard: A full estate cleanout or a packed basement and garage together. Holds up to 3 tons.
40 Yard: The largest properties and multi-building cleanouts. Holds up to 3 tons.
Concrete dumpster: A dedicated 7-yard container for concrete, dirt, sod, and brick. Holds up to 7 tons.
Describe the property and we will point you to the right size, or compare all five sizes yourself.
Cleanouts We Help With
Estate cleanouts. Clearing a parent's or relative's home is hard work under hard circumstances. A larger container and a full week lets a family sort at their own pace. Our guide to estate cleanouts covers how to approach it.
Basement and garage cleanouts. The two spaces where decades of storage accumulate quietly. See our guide to basement cleanouts.
Before selling a home. Clearing out before listing makes a house show better and makes the move easier. We cover the approach in cleaning out before you sell.
Rental turnovers. Landlords and property managers across the metro use us between tenants, when a unit has to be cleared and ready fast.
Moving and downsizing. Clearing what is not making the trip is far simpler with a container in the driveway.
What Goes in a Cleanout Dumpster
Furniture, carpet, clothing, boxes, household junk, toys, yard equipment, scrap lumber, and general clutter all go in, and if you have mattresses to get rid of, mention them when you book and we will tell you exactly how to handle them. Appliances are accepted, and items with Freon like refrigerators and freezers need special handling, so mention them when you book. Wet paint, oil, chemicals, batteries, tires, and anything flammable are not allowed, and those hide in garages and basements more than anywhere else, so set them aside as you go. Concrete, dirt, and brick belong in our concrete dumpster.
Adnan Isic, Owner of Dumpster King
"Old paint cans and car batteries are what we find tucked in the back of a garage shelf. Set those aside as you clean and the rest of the load goes off without a hitch."
How It Works
Call or book online and tell us about the property. We deliver driveway-safe, often the same day or the next when our schedule allows. You load it over a seven-day rental, with extensions available if the job takes longer than you expected, which cleanouts often do. When you are finished, we pick it up and haul everything away, so you never make a landfill run yourself.
