Choosing the Right Size for Your Home Project
We offer three sizes to match any residential project in St. Petersburg:
5-Yard Dumpster
Ideal for small projects – a single bathroom remodel, a minor cleanout, or a few rooms of flooring. If you can comfortably estimate 2 to 3 pickup truck loads of debris, this is your size. It fits neatly in most driveways.
10-Yard Dumpster (Most Popular)
The go-to choice for most St. Petersburg homeowners. It handles kitchen remodels, whole-floor renovations, garage cleanouts, and roofing on average-sized homes. Fits most driveways and handles 4 to 5 truck loads of material.
20-Yard Dumpster
For larger homes, major renovations, whole-home cleanouts, or estate clearances. If you are unsure whether you need a 10 or 20, call us at (727) 955-2880 and describe your project – we will help you decide.

Tips for Loading Your Residential Dumpster
Loading your dumpster efficiently can mean the difference between fitting everything in one rental vs. needing a second. Follow these tips:
1. Break Down Large Items First
Disassemble furniture, break down pallets, and flatten cardboard before loading. This prevents large air pockets that waste valuable space.
2. Load Heavy Items on the Bottom
Dense, heavy materials like tile, concrete blocks, and appliances should go in first. Lighter items like insulation, cushions, and cardboard go on top to fill gaps.
3. Fill All the Gaps
Use smaller items and debris to fill the spaces between large pieces. Think of it like packing a moving truck – tight and efficient.
4. Do Not Overfill
Debris cannot extend above the top rim of the dumpster. Load to just below the rim for the most material while staying road-legal for pickup.
5. Keep Prohibited Items Out
If you are unsure about an item, set it aside and call us. Loading prohibited materials can result in additional fees or issues at the disposal facility.
Protecting Your Driveway
We place our dumpsters carefully, but heavy containers can leave marks on soft asphalt – especially on hot Florida days. To protect your St. Petersburg driveway:
- Place plywood boards under the dumpster feet before we deliver
- Avoid placement on new asphalt during peak summer heat if possible
- Our driver can advise on the best placement position to minimize stress points
