Taking on DIY renovations at home? If you’re replacing flooring, tearing out cabinets, or revamping a bathroom, renovation debris will pile up quickly. Instead of leaving your yard full of clutter or making endless trips to the landfill, our dumpster rentals give you a convenient way to keep your project site clean and manageable.

1. A Cleaner, Safer Renovation or Construction Site

During renovation projects, safety matters. Materials such as nails, broken drywall, splintered wood, and tile shards are often left on floors or tossed in garbage bags, which pose as a hazard. By hiring a yard dumpster from One Dial Dumpster, you ensure one secure place to toss it all. This keeps your space clutter-free from clutter, reduces risks, and helps you stay compliant with local regulations.

2. Less Time Wasted on Dump Runs

DIY renovations already demand your time and energy. The last thing you need is to pause your project to make multiple trips to the landfills. A dumpster rental eliminates the back and forth and reduces the overall cost of your project, so you can toss junk at your convenience without loading your car, waiting in line, or paying separate disposal fees.

3. Built for Heavy Materials and Bulky Items

Home improvement projects often involve removing bulky fixtures and heavy materials. Our dumpster rentals are designed to handle the following types of debris:

  • Cabinets and countertops

  • Flooring and siding

  • Drywall and insulation

  • Shingles, roofing materials, and junk

  • Construction debris like tile, wood, and metal

  • Appliances and large packaging

  • Non-hazardous renovation and demolition debris

4. The Right Size Dumpster for Every Project

One Dial Dumpster offers various sizes to suit all types of home renovations, including light upgrades and full-scale remodels:

  • 10-Yard Dumpster – Ideal for small renovations like half-baths

  • 15-Yard Dumpster – Best for kitchen or single-room updates

  • 20-Yard Dumpster – Built for larger projects like basements, flooring, or multiple-room work

Each container meets the maximum capacity guidelines for its size. If you’re unsure which size to pick from our 10, 15, and 20-yard dumpsters, we’ll help you avoid overload fees by choosing the best option.

5. Stay on Task & Leave the Waste to Us!

The true value of a dumpster rental is the ability to focus on your DIY renovation without interruption. There’s no need to bag trash or figure out where it all goes. Having a bin on-site means no stress, less mess, and more time spent doing the work that matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

For small renovations, such as a half-bath or flooring upgrade, a 10-yard dumpster is enough. For full kitchen or bathroom remodels, we recommend a 15- or 20-yard dumpster that can handle heavy materials and construction debris without exceeding the weight limit.

You can dispose of most renovation debris, including drywall, flooring, wood, siding, roofing shingles, and old fixtures. However, hazardous materials like propane tanks, paint, and asbestos are prohibited. Our team will give you a list of items you can and can’t toss when you book your dumpster rental.

We offer flexible rental periods of 1, 3, or 7 days. If you need extra days, ask for an extension ahead of time to avoid additional fees.

Each dumpster size has a set tonnage included in your rental. If the construction waste exceeds the weight allowance, an overload fee may apply. We help you choose the right dumpster size from the start to avoid surprises.

In some areas, placing a dumpster on public property like a street or alley may require a permit. We’ll help you navigate local regulations and make sure your DIY renovation stays compliant.
