Demolition Dumpster Rental in the Des Moines Metro
WE OFFER SAME DAY DELIVERY!
Dumpster King delivers roll-off dumpsters for demolition work across the Des Moines metro and central Iowa, from a single outbuilding to a full interior gut. We place the container where the work is happening, you fill it as things come down, and we haul it away when the site is clear.
Demolition Debris Is Its Own Animal
Tearing something down produces more debris, faster, and in a wider mix of materials than almost any other project. One afternoon can fill a container that would have lasted a week on a remodel. Old lumber, plaster, lath, roofing, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures come out together, and the heavy material underneath is a separate problem entirely. Getting the container right before you start is what keeps a teardown from stalling halfway through.
Adnan Isic, Owner of Dumpster King
"On a demolition job the debris comes out in a hurry. We would rather bring a bigger container than have somebody standing around waiting on us to come swap a full one."
What Size Dumpster Do You Need for Demolition?
Most demolition work calls for our larger containers. When people guess wrong on a teardown, they almost always guess small.
10 Yard: Small tear-outs, a single room, or a shed. Holds up to 2 tons.
15 Yard: Garage tear-outs and small structures. Holds up to 2 tons.
20 Yard: Interior demo on a room or two, decks, and small outbuildings. Holds up to 2 tons.
30 Yard: Interior gut jobs, large outbuildings, and most residential demolition. Holds up to 3 tons.
40 Yard: Full structure teardowns and commercial demolition. Holds up to 3 tons.
Concrete dumpster: A dedicated 7-yard container for concrete, dirt, sod, and brick. Holds up to 7 tons.
If you are unsure between two sizes, describe the structure and we will point you to the right one, or look at all five sizes first.
Concrete, Block, and Dirt Go Separately
This is the rule that catches people on demolition jobs. Foundations, slabs, sidewalks, footings, brick, block, and dirt cannot go in a standard roll-off. They go in our dedicated concrete dumpster, which is built for that kind of material. If your teardown includes both a structure and a slab, tell us at booking and we will sort out the right combination of containers so nothing gets held up on the day.
Adnan Isic, Owner of Dumpster King
"Mixing concrete in with the rest of the debris is the most common mistake we see on demo jobs. Call us first and we will get you the right container so it never becomes a problem."
Demolition Projects We Handle
Interior gut jobs, kitchen and bath tear-outs, garage and shed demolition, deck and porch removal, barn and outbuilding teardowns, fence removal, mobile home cleanouts, and commercial interior demolition. Outdoor structures are a constant around here, and our containers swallow decks, sheds, fences, and other big outdoor items that will not fit anywhere else.
What Goes in a Demolition Dumpster
Lumber, plaster, lath, drywall, roofing, siding, flooring, carpet, cabinetry, doors, windows, fixtures, insulation, and metal all go in. Wet paint, oil, adhesives, chemicals, batteries, tires, and anything flammable are not allowed, and those turn up often in old garages and barns, so look before you load. Concrete, dirt, and brick go in the concrete dumpster. If you hit something questionable mid-teardown, call and ask.
How It Works
Call or book online and tell us what is coming down and when you start. We deliver driveway-safe or on site, often the same day or the next when our schedule allows. You fill it as the demolition goes, over a seven-day rental with extensions available. When the site is clear, we come pick it up and haul everything away.
Why Dumpster King for Demolition Work
We are a family-owned company based in Ankeny with a second location in Pleasant Hill and more than 200 five-star reviews. We answer the phone, we show up when we say we will, and we know which container a job actually needs instead of selling you whatever is on the truck. On a teardown, that experience saves you a delay you did not budget for.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size do I need to tear out a kitchen? A 20-yard handles most single-room interior demo. A full gut usually calls for a 30-yard.
​
Can I put a concrete slab in a regular dumpster? No. Concrete, brick, block, and dirt go in our dedicated concrete dumpster.
Can I get more than one container? Yes. Larger teardowns often run a standard container alongside a concrete one. Tell us the job and we will work it out.
How long can I keep it? Our standard rental is seven days, with extensions available if the demolition runs long.
Do you serve rural properties? Yes. We deliver to acreages and farmsteads across central Iowa all the time.
