General Dumpster Rental Questions
How does the dumpster rental process work?
It is a simple four-step process:
- Call our Simpsonville team and tell us about your project.
- Choose your dumpster size — we will help you pick the right one based on your debris type and volume.
- We deliver it fast — usually same day or next day across the Simpsonville area.
- Fill it up with debris, junk, or waste at your own pace.
- Call or text us when you are done and we will come pick it up — clean, simple, no mess left behind.
How long can I keep the dumpster?
Most rentals include a standard 7-day period. If you need more time, just give us a call before the rental expires and we will extend it at a low daily rate. Finishing early? We can schedule an early pickup to clear your driveway sooner.
Can I get same day dumpster delivery?
Yes — in most parts of Simpsonville and across Greenville County, we offer same-day or next-day delivery depending on current availability. Calling before noon gives you the best chance of landing a same-day delivery window.
Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?
No, you do not need to be present. As long as we know where to place the dumpster — driveway, curb, or job site — we can handle the drop without you there. Just make sure the area is free of vehicles and obstacles beforehand.

How do I choose the right dumpster size?
Think through your project scale and material type:
- 10-15 yard dumpsters — small residential cleanups, roofing shingles, or heavy dense material like concrete.
- 20 yard dumpsters — home remodels, landscaping, and most residential projects.
- 30-40 yard dumpsters — construction projects, demolition, or large multi-room cleanouts.
If you are unsure, call us. We match customers to the right size every single day and can usually nail it in under a minute based on a quick description of your project.
Can I load heavy materials like concrete or dirt?
Yes, but we limit those materials to smaller dumpsters — typically the 10-yard or 15-yard. Heavy materials like concrete, brick, soil, and asphalt have strict weight limits for safety and transport compliance.
What can I put in a dumpster?
You can toss most household junk, construction debris, and yard waste, including:
- Wood, drywall, tiles, and flooring
- Furniture and household junk
- Yard clippings and branches
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Small appliances (non-refrigerant)
What can’t go in a dumpster?
We cannot accept:
- Paint, solvents, or oils
- Tires
- Batteries
- Hazardous chemicals
- Gas cylinders or propane tanks
- Medical waste
If you are unsure about a specific item, call us before you toss it in — we will tell you exactly what is allowed and suggest proper alternatives for restricted materials.
Delivery and Pickup Dumpster Rental FAQs
Where can you place my dumpster?
Most Simpsonville customers choose their driveway or curbside. We can also place dumpsters at:
- Active construction or demolition sites
- Commercial properties and loading areas
- Parking lots
We will confirm placement details with you at booking to make sure the site is level, accessible, and safe for loading.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?
We take precautions to protect your surface. You can also ask us to lay boards under the dumpster wheels at delivery to provide extra protection against cracking or scratching on concrete and asphalt driveways.
How full can I fill the dumpster?
Load debris up to the top rim — but not above it. Overfilled dumpsters cannot be legally hauled. Even weight distribution also helps the pickup process go smoothly and safely.
Waste, Recycling and Permits Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to rent a dumpster in Simpsonville?
If the dumpster sits on your private property, no permit is needed. If it needs to go on a public street or sidewalk, you may need a temporary placement permit from the City of Simpsonville. Our team knows the local requirements and can guide you through that process easily.
Do you recycle materials?
Yes. We work with Greenville County-approved recycling and processing facilities that prioritize eco-friendly waste diversion. Metal, concrete, and yard waste are recycled or composted wherever our facility partners allow.
What if I need to extend my rental period?
Just call us before your rental ends and we will set up an extension at a low daily rate. Quick and flexible — no forms or contracts required.
