Yes, an adult should be present at the delivery and pickup location to ensure smooth placement of your driveway-safe roll-off dumpster. If needed, we can also coordinate safe placement instructions in advance. In some instances, you can send a picture and give clear written instructions of where you want the dumpster placed. This way we make sure the dumpster is exactly where you want it.
Dumpster Fire Disposal offers three popular roll-off dumpster sizes:
Each dumpster is driveway-friendly and easy to load.
You can rent a dumpster from us for 1 to 7 days or more, whichever works best for your schedule. Each rental includes 3 days; extra days are $25 each. A week is usually plenty for home cleanouts, remodeling projects, or yard waste removal. Need it longer? Just give us a call or text at (239) 412-3283. Contractor rental periods and monthly subscriptions are also available.
In most cases, you will not need a permit if your roll-off dumpster rental is placed on private property such as your driveway. However, if you plan to place the dumpster on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way in Port Charlotte or other parts of Southwest Florida, a permit from the local city or county may be required. Don't worry, we can guide you through the process and help you determine whether a dumpster permit is necessary for your project. For fast answers, just call or text us at (239) 412-3283.
All the stuff. You can safely toss most non-hazardous waste in your Dumpster Fire rental. Common approved items include:
Restricted items include hazardous materials like chemicals, paints, oils, solvents, and batteries. Sorry, no propane tanks, live alligators, or ex-roommates either. These must be handled through local hazardous waste programs. If you're not sure whether your trash makes the cut, just call or text us at (239) 412-3283.
Yes. Our dumpster rentals include a built-in weight allowance of 2,000 lbs. Think of it as the dumpster's all-you-can-eat buffet limit. Go over that limit and it's $100 per ton, charged at the exact overage weight. We don't round up. Don't worry though, we're happy to help you estimate the right dumpster size for your project ahead of time so you can avoid heavy surprises.
Always. We slide our driveway protection pads under the dumpster on every job, and we build them ourselves out of sealed plywood. On a new paver driveway we'll put clear plastic down too. After pickup we sweep up, and we take a photo of the spot before we drop and after we grab it, so you're never left wondering how we found your driveway or how we left it.
Usually not without a permit. Charlotte and Lee County require a special permit to set a dumpster in a public road or right-of-way, so a driveway or somewhere on your own property is the easy route. If the street really is your only option, give us a call and we'll talk through what it takes.
Absolutely! We provide fast same-day or next-day dumpster delivery across Southwest Florida. That means you're covered in Port Charlotte, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, North Port, and even Pine Island. Call or text early for the best availability. Our dumpsters have busy social calendars.
When in doubt, size up. A 7-yard handles a small cleanout, a garage, or a yard project. A 15-yard is the do-everything size for a remodel or a serious decluttering. A 20-yard is for whole-home cleanouts and construction debris. Not sure which one fits? Tell us what you're tossing when you call or text (239) 412-3283 and we'll point you to the right size so you're not paying for air or running out of room.
With a dumpster rental, we drop the can, you fill it on your own time, and we come haul it away. With junk removal, you point and we do the lifting and loading. A dumpster is great when you're working through a project over a few days. Junk removal is great when you just want it gone today and don't feel like touching it. We do both, so go with whatever suits your back and your schedule.
Sometimes, but heavy stuff like concrete, dirt, brick, and tile hits the weight limit long before it fills the can, so it usually needs its own dumpster and its own pricing. Don't mix it in with your regular debris without telling us first. Call or text (239) 412-3283 and we'll set you up with the right dumpster for heavy debris so the weight stays in line.
Most appliances are no problem. The one catch is anything with refrigerant, like fridges, freezers, and AC units. By law that refrigerant has to be drained and certified before disposal, so let us know ahead of time if you've got one and we'll walk you through it. Washers, dryers, stoves, and dishwashers can go right in.
Keep everything level with the top rail. We can't legally or safely haul a dumpster that's heaped over the sides or has things sticking out, so an overloaded can may have to be leveled before we can take it. If you think you're going to run out of room, call or text us and we'll sort out a bigger size or a second haul.
Please don't. Once it's set, leave it put. Dragging a loaded roll-off can tear up your driveway and throw off the pickup. If the spot isn't working out, give us a call and we'll come reposition it the right way.
Of course. Every rental includes 3 days, and extra days are $25 each, so if the project drags out, just call or text (239) 412-3283 before your pickup date and we'll leave the can with you. Contractor and monthly arrangements are available too.
We run out of Port Charlotte and cover Charlotte and Lee County, plus the edges of Sarasota County. That's Punta Gorda, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, North Port, Englewood, the Cape Haze peninsula, and all of Pine Island. See the full list on our service area page, or just call with your address and we'll tell you what we can do.
Yes, and we do it without the side-eye. Garage cleanouts, estate cleanouts, eviction and rental turnovers, and hoarding situations are all in our wheelhouse, one room at a time if that's what it takes. Check our junk removal options or text a few photos to (239) 412-3283 and we'll take it from there.
We try to keep usable stuff out of the landfill, donating or recycling what we can, and the rest goes to a licensed disposal facility. If you're curious how it works, we wrote a whole post on where your junk actually ends up.
Call or text and a real person will answer. It's fine. We've got it.
