How can we help?

Select a subject for frequently asked questions.

Choose a topic, then open a question for the details.

Driveway fit & access

All subjects
Will a dumpster fit in my driveway?

The container footprint is only part of the space needed: the delivery truck also needs room to approach, turn, and place it safely. Our 12-yard concrete and roof tile dumpster measures 14 ft L × 8 ft W × 3 ft H. Other sizes have different footprints. Call with your driveway dimensions, overhead clearance, and proposed spot so we can confirm access.

Link to this answer
Can a dumpster be delivered to a backyard or narrow space?

Swales, gated communities, bridges, and skinny driveways are no problem—tell us the details when you call. Backyard placement depends on the route, ground conditions, clearances, and turning room. We confirm safe access and an approved spot on private property before delivery. We do not drop dumpsters in the street.

Protecting your property

All subjects
Will a dumpster damage my driveway?

We use driveway-protection boards so the container does not sit directly on the paved surface. Protection also depends on the condition and strength of the surface, the load, and safe placement. Tell us about cracks, soft spots, or other concerns before delivery so the driver can review the location.

Link to this answer
Can I put a dumpster on pavers?

Paver placement needs a review of the surface and access before delivery. Tell us the area is paved with pavers when you call. We use protection boards, but the driver must still confirm that the surface and placement spot are suitable for the container and its load.

Cleanouts & smaller loads

All subjects
What size dumpster do I need for a house cleanout?

A 15-yard dumpster is a common fit for a smaller cleanout. Our 18- and 20-yard containers suit larger home or estate cleanouts, while the 30-yard handles bigger projects. Tell us how many rooms you are clearing and the bulky items involved so we can help choose a size. The 12-yard container is dedicated to concrete and roof tile.

Link to this answer
How much does a 10-yard dumpster hold?

Ten cubic yards is a volume of 270 cubic feet; weight depends on the material. Big Dawg’s current lineup does not include a 10-yard dumpster. Our smallest general-debris option is the 15-yard. The 12-yard is reserved for concrete and roof tile, with an 8-ton capacity. Call to choose a container for your actual load.

Remodeling & demolition

All subjects
What size dumpster do I need for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?

A 15-yard can be a good fit for a bathroom or smaller remodel. A larger kitchen renovation or several rooms may need an 18- or 20-yard container. Tell us about the cabinets, flooring, drywall, and other materials coming out so we can help match the volume and weight to a container. Concrete and roof tile require a dedicated can.

Link to this answer
What size dumpster do I need for demolition?

Our 30-yard dumpster is a common option for large construction and demolition cleanups. The right choice depends on both the amount and weight of debris, so tell us what is being demolished before booking. Heavy concrete goes in a dedicated concrete and roof tile container, separate from general demolition debris.

Time, pickup & swaps

All subjects
How long can I keep a dumpster?

Standard service includes up to seven days. General-debris containers are $20 per additional day after day seven. If your project needs longer, tell us when you call so we can confirm availability and arrange the pickup schedule.

Link to this answer
What happens if my dumpster fills up before the job is done?

Stop at the marked fill line and call us to arrange pickup or a container swap. We will confirm availability, timing, and the price of the next container by phone. Do not pile material above the fill line or move the dumpster yourself.

Delivery & availability

All subjects
Can I get a dumpster delivered the same day?

Same-day delivery is often available, and the team targets service within 24 hours when same-day placement is not possible. Availability depends on inventory, route, location, and safe access, so call to confirm.

Link to this answer
Is delivery included in the dumpster price?

Yes. Published prices include standard delivery, pickup, and up to seven days of service. General-debris containers also include the weight allowance listed for that size. Call with your address and access details to confirm the service price before delivery.

Link to this answer

Prices, fees & discounts

All subjects
How much does dumpster service cost?

General-debris dumpsters are $450 for 15 yards, $475 for 18 yards, $525 for 20 yards, and $625 for 30 yards. Dedicated concrete and roof tile containers are $425 for 12 yards and $695 for 20 yards. Prices include standard delivery, pickup, and up to seven days. Call to confirm the right container and price for your address and materials.

Link to this answer
Are there extra charges I should plan for?

For general-debris containers, additional tonnage is prorated at $90 per ton and extra days after day seven are $20 each. Mattresses are surcharged at $55 each; tires are $30 each. Big Dawg does not add a credit card fee. Dedicated concrete and roof tile containers are flat rate regardless of weight. We review the applicable service terms with you before delivery.

Link to this answer
What happens if I go over the included weight?

General-debris containers include one or two tons depending on size. Additional tonnage is prorated at $90 per ton. Dedicated concrete and roof tile dumpsters are flat rate regardless of weight and cannot be mixed with regular debris.

Link to this answer
Do you offer senior or veteran discounts?

Seniors or veterans receive 5% off. Discounts cannot be combined. Mention your eligibility when you call so we can include the applicable discount in your service price.

Roofing, concrete & tile

All subjects
What size dumpster do I need for a roof tear-off?

Tell us the roof size, number of layers, and roofing material so we can account for both volume and weight. Shingles can go in a general-debris container; our 18-, 20-, and 30-yard options give us room to match the job. Roof tile requires a dedicated 12- or 20-yard concrete and roof tile container, with no regular debris mixed in.

Link to this answer
Can you put concrete and roof tile in a dumpster?

Yes, in a dedicated concrete and roof tile container. Our 12-yard is $425, measures 14 ft L × 8 ft W × 3 ft H, and has an 8-ton capacity. Our 20-yard is $695, measures 20 ft L × 8 ft W × 4 ft H, and has a 16-ton capacity. Both are flat rate regardless of weight. Loads must stay within the container’s capacity and contain concrete and roof tile only, with no regular debris.

Link to this answer

What goes in the can

All subjects
What can—and can’t—go in a dumpster?

Common accepted materials include household junk, furniture, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, lumber, siding, shingles, remodeling debris, storm debris, and yard debris. Mattresses are surcharged at $55 each; tires are $30 each. Do not load toxic liquids or batteries. Concrete and roof tile need a dedicated container and cannot be mixed with regular debris. Call before loading appliances or anything unusual.

Link to this answer
Will Big Dawg load the debris for me?

No. Big Dawg drops off the dumpster and hauls it away after you or your contractor loads it. This is roll-off dumpster service, not full-service junk removal.
