Residential Dumpster Rentals in Johnston
Johnston is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Des Moines metro. The population has more than tripled since 2000, and the city ran a special census in 2024 just to capture how quickly it had grown. That growth means two things for dumpster demand: new construction generating debris, and homeowners in established neighborhoods taking on renovation projects to update their homes.
The older residential areas along Merle Hay Road, NW 62nd Avenue, and near Greenwood Hills have homes from the 1970s through the 1990s where kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, roof replacements, and basement finishing are common. The newer subdivisions in northwest Johnston around Trestle Point and Crown Point are still settling in, with homeowners adding landscaping, fencing, and finishing touches that create their own cleanup needs.
A roll-off dumpster handles all of it. Instead of making trip after trip to the landfill, you fill the dumpster in your driveway and call us when you are done. Every dumpster we deliver is 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 Johnston 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 Johnston
Johnston's rapid growth has brought steady commercial and residential construction. New housing developments, retail projects, and office buildouts along NW 86th Street, Merle Hay Road, and NW Beaver Drive keep contractors busy. Camp Dodge, the Iowa Army National Guard headquarters on the city's north side, also generates periodic construction and renovation projects.
We deliver roll-off dumpsters to active construction sites, demolition projects, commercial renovations, and landscaping jobs across Johnston. 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 Johnston?
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 landscaping 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. 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 Ankeny 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.

That includes the established neighborhoods along Merle Hay Road and NW 62nd Avenue, Greenwood Hills, the newer subdivisions in Trestle Point and Crown Point, the areas near Terra Park and Lew Clarkson Park, and the residential streets off NW Beaver Drive and NW 86th Street.
