Make Your Next Renovation Smoother, Cleaner, and More Efficient with One Dial Dumpster

Home renovations can completely transform your space, but they also create piles of debris, waste, and materials that quickly become overwhelming. From drywall and flooring to old cabinets and appliances, cleanup can slow your project down if it is not handled properly. Renovation debris often includes heavy materials that must follow Pennsylvania DEP disposal guidelines to protect soil and water quality.

 

That is where One Dial Dumpster comes in. We provide fast, affordable dumpster rentals for home renovation projects across Harrisburg, Hershey, Lebanon, York, Lancaster, Mechanicsburg, Palmyra, Camp Hill, Elizabethtown, and Linglestown, helping homeowners, contractors, and DIY remodelers keep their worksites clean and efficient.

Why You Need a Dumpster for Home Renovations

When you are remodeling, waste adds up fast. A dumpster on-site helps your project run smoothly by:

Saving Time

Skip endless dump runs and toss materials directly into your dumpste

Staying Safe

Keep sharp debris such as nails, glass, splintered wood, and other construction materials contained and out of walkways

Boosting Productivity

With clutter gone, your work area stays organized and accessible. Contractors often complete tasks faster when debris is removed regularly.

Cutting Costs

One flat-rate rental often costs less than multiple trips to your local landfill, especially with rising fuel and disposal fees across Pennsylvania. No matter the scale of your renovation, whether it is a single bathroom remodel or a full-home transformation, having a dumpster on-site simplifies the entire cleanup process.

Choosing the Right Dumpster Size for Your Renovation

At One Dial Dumpster, we offer three main dumpster sizes suitable for renovation projects:

 

10-Yard Dumpster
Ideal for small projects such as bathroom remodels or single-room updates.

 

15-Yard Dumpster
Suitable for kitchen remodels, flooring removal, or basement upgrades.

 

20-Yard Dumpster
Best for whole-home renovations, roof tear-offs, or large multi-room projects.

Pro Tip

When in doubt, size up. It is more affordable to have extra room than to order a second dumpster mid-project. Renovation debris often takes up more space than expected, especially when removing old fixtures and framing.

What Can Go in a Renovation Dumpster

You can dispose of most renovation debris, including:

 

  • Drywall, plaster, and insulation
  • Cabinets, countertops, and fixtures
  • Flooring materials such as wood, tile, carpet, or laminate
  • Roofing shingles and siding
  • Windows and doors
  • General construction waste

Pennsylvania DEP allows most non-hazardous construction debris in roll-off containers.

 

Not Accepted

Hazardous materials, paint, chemicals, propane tanks, electronics, and items containing refrigerants cannot be placed in a renovation dumpster.

 

If you are unsure about a specific material, our team will confirm what is safe and compliant for disposal.
