The dumpster rental process is actually pretty simple. The first step is to give us a call and let us know when and where you would like your dumpster delivered. The driver will then deliver the dumpster on the date that you requested. Once you have the dumpster you can fill it with debris and other items from your location, home or job site.

This is a very common question that we get. It is often hard to predict the exact size of dumpster that you will need, especially because small jobs can easily turn into larger jobs in the end. Here at Dumpster King, we recommend that you factor out all of the components and possibilities of your project. We offer four different sizes to fit different kinds of projects, small and large. All of our dumpsters are driveway safe. Head over to our dumpster sizing and pricing page to view dumpster measurements and options.
