Daphne Dumpster Company delivers roll-off containers to properties across Daphne and Baldwin County, lets you fill them at your own pace, and hauls everything away when the job is done. Rentals run from a compact 10-yard up to a 40-yard, so there is a container sized for the work in front of you whether that work is small or large.
The calls we get cover a wide range. Homeowners clearing out a garage, finishing a renovation, or tackling a long-overdue attic cleanout. Roofing crews dropping shingles after a tear-off. Contractors managing construction debris across a job site. Landlords turning over a rental property between tenants. Property managers handling a foreclosure or estate cleanout. If you are generating debris and need a place to put it, you are in the right place.
Getting the right dumpster starts with a quick call. When you reach us, we ask a few straightforward questions: what kind of job you are running, what material you are loading, where you want the container placed, and how long you expect to need it. Those answers let us confirm the right size and get scheduling underway.
Drop location matters more than most callers expect. A flat, accessible surface with clear overhead and side clearance makes placement simple. Tight gates, low-hanging utility lines, soft ground, and street placements each add a layer of planning. Whether a permit is needed depends on whether the container sits on private property or in the public right of way. That is confirmed before delivery, based on your specific address.
We do not promise a delivery hour on this page because availability depends on what is already scheduled. What helps you land the earliest available slot is having your drop location and job type ready when you call. That's the whole process.
The quoted figure typically bundles delivery, pickup, the rental period, and a weight allowance. What sits outside that figure is worth understanding before you commit. Weight that exceeds the allowance is billed separately. Materials that require special handling because transfer stations refuse them are also priced differently. Extending the rental period beyond what was originally agreed adds to the total.
What moves a quote up or down: container size, job location, material type, and rental length. Heavy debris like concrete or dirt is priced differently from bulky household junk because the disposal cost at the facility is different. A longer rental period costs more than a short one.
We offer free, no-obligation dumpster quotes. You get the rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. Ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer. We answer the phone. We show up ready to work. We price it straight.
We work through three questions on the call to land on the right size. First: what are you clearing? Second: how much of it is there? Third: what is it made of?
Those questions matter because the answers pull in different directions. A bathroom remodel producing tile, drywall, and flooring fills a container faster by weight than by volume. The size that looks right by eye may hit its weight limit before it looks full. A garage cleanout or moving cleanout is mostly bulky and light, so volume is the binding constraint, not weight.
For reference: a 10-yard holds about 4 pickup truck loads, a 20-yard about 7, a 30-yard about 11, and a 40-yard about 15. The 12-yard, at about 5 pickup truck loads, and the 15-yard, at about 6 pickup truck loads, fill a gap that matters for mid-sized cleanouts and remodels where a 10-yard is too tight but a 20-yard is more than the job needs.
For projects involving exclusively heavy, dense debris such as concrete or dirt, we also offer a lowboy variant. It is framed around weight capacity rather than volume and is worth asking about if your load is almost entirely that kind of material.
Homeowners and contractors get the same straight answer on sizing.
Most homeowners have never rented a dumpster before. The process is simpler than it looks. The call covers everything: size, placement, timing, and price. No prior knowledge is needed, and there is nothing to figure out on your own before you pick up the phone.
From there, the caller types we work with regularly include renovation contractors running a kitchen or bathroom remodel, roofing crews handling a tear-off, landlords clearing a rental property between tenants, property managers dealing with an estate or foreclosure cleanout, and commercial customers managing an office, retail, or warehouse cleanout.
What differs in practice between a residential caller and a contractor is mostly scale. Contractors may need flexible rental periods across a longer project, multiple containers running at once, or a swap-out when one fills mid-job. Flexible rental periods with no pressure to rush are part of how we handle both groups. You call, we deliver.
Some materials cannot go in the container, and it is worth knowing which ones before you start loading. Prohibited items typically include hazardous waste, paints and solvents, motor oil, batteries, tires, electronics, and appliances containing refrigerants. These categories exist because transfer stations and disposal facilities refuse them. The restriction is not arbitrary.
For those materials, there are other paths. Local household hazardous waste collection events handle paints, solvents, and similar items. Retailer take-back programs cover electronics and batteries in many cases. Municipal drop-off sites handle categories that do not fit elsewhere.
What is accepted covers a wide range: construction and demolition debris, yard waste and landscaping debris, furniture, general household junk, roofing materials, flooring, drywall, siding, and mixed renovation debris. Storm cleanup and flood cleanup loads sometimes contain materials that need sorting before disposal. A quick call clarifies what applies to your specific load.
Rental periods are set at booking, but projects run long. If yours does, call before the original period ends and we handle the extension. There is no complicated process involved.
When a container fills before the job is finished, the answer is a swap-out: we pick up the full container and drop a fresh one in the same spot. The drop spot is agreed before delivery, and if placement needs to change after the container is down, flagging that early keeps things moving.
Pickup is triggered by you. When the job is done, you call, a pickup is scheduled, and the container is hauled away. Flexible rental periods with no pressure to rush are part of how this works on every job, whether it wraps up in two days or stretches across two weeks. We'll be there.
A 20-yard container, which holds about 7 pickup truck loads, handles most single-layer shingle tear-offs on an average residential roof. If the roof has multiple layers or the pitch made for a heavy original installation, the weight adds up fast and a smaller container may hit its limit before it looks full, so call and describe the roof before committing to a size.
Yes, but concrete is among the heaviest materials we handle, and it presses against weight limits faster than almost anything else. For projects involving exclusively concrete, the lowboy variant is worth asking about because it is framed around weight capacity rather than volume and is designed for that kind of dense, heavy debris.
Mixing heavy debris like concrete, brick, or tile with lighter material such as drywall or household junk is the most common way a load goes over. Loading heavier material first and spreading it evenly across the container helps, but the most reliable approach is to call and describe what you are loading so we can confirm the right size and weight allowance before you start.
Clearance requirements depend on the container size and the delivery equipment involved. As a general rule, narrow gates and tight access points need to be flagged when you call so placement can be planned before the container arrives rather than after.
The drop spot is agreed before delivery, and we plan placement to avoid damage to structures, landscaping, and finished surfaces. Exact clearances depend on the container size and what sits nearby, so describe the intended spot when you call and we will confirm whether it works.
Yes, yard waste including branches, brush, sod, and bagged lawn debris is accepted. Green debris is bulky rather than heavy, so it tends to fill the container by volume before it approaches weight limits. A 10-yard at about 4 pickup truck loads handles most yard cleanups, and a 15-yard at about 6 pickup truck loads covers larger landscaping hauls.
Estate and hoarding cleanouts vary widely in volume. A 20-yard at about 7 pickup truck loads covers a moderately packed home, while a heavily loaded property may need a 30-yard at about 11 pickup truck loads or a swap-out if the volume exceeds what one container can hold. Describing the property and how packed it is when you call helps us land on the right starting size.
We handle swap-outs: we pick up the full container and drop a fresh one in the same agreed spot. Call when the container is full and we schedule the exchange. The drop location for the replacement is confirmed at that point, and the same placement planning applies.
Swap-out timing depends on the current schedule.
Call (251) 369-7923 when the container is full and we confirm what is available.
Having the replacement drop location ready when you call helps move things along.
Dirt is accepted, but like concrete it is extremely heavy and reaches weight limits long before the container looks full. A small volume of clean fill dirt is manageable, but a dirt-only load is best discussed on the call so the weight allowance and container choice are matched to what you are actually moving.
Dried latex paint is generally accepted. Liquid latex paint and all oil-based paints are not, because transfer stations refuse them. If paint cans are part of your load, let us know what you have when you call and we will confirm what applies.
No. Asbestos-containing material requires specialized handling and dedicated abatement disposal that falls outside what a roll-off container rental covers. If your project involves suspected asbestos, that portion requires a dedicated abatement specialist who handles it separately before general debris goes in the container.
A 40-yard holds about 15 pickup truck loads and is suited for large-scale demolition, whole-house cleanouts, major commercial cleanouts, and construction projects generating high volumes of mixed debris. It is the largest size in the range and is worth considering when a 30-yard at about 11 pickup truck loads is likely to fill before the job is done.
One call to Daphne Dumpster Company covers everything: the right container size is identified, availability is confirmed, and the price is given before anything is scheduled. A phone that gets answered. A price you are told up front. No runaround.

Do I need to be home when the container is delivered or picked up?
You do not need to be present for delivery or pickup as long as the drop location is clearly agreed before we arrive. We confirm the placement spot on the call, so the delivery can go smoothly without you standing there to direct it. If anything about the location is unusual or tight, flagging it ahead of time is all that is needed.
What does the quoted price typically include?
The quoted figure generally covers delivery, pickup, the agreed rental period, and a weight allowance. What sits outside that figure is weight that exceeds the allowance, materials requiring special handling that transfer stations treat differently, and any extension beyond the original rental period. You get the full breakdown on the call before anything is scheduled, so ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer.
Placement Agreed Before the Drop
We confirm the exact drop spot with you before the container arrives. That step prevents placement problems and protects your property from the start.
What is the fill line and why does it matter?
Containers have a fill line marked at the top rail. Loading above that line is not permitted because debris that shifts or falls during transport creates a road hazard and can result in the load being refused at the transfer facility. Keep material level with or below the top of the container walls. If you are running out of room before the job is done, a swap-out is the right call.
What items are prohibited from going in the container?
Transfer stations refuse certain categories, and those materials cannot go in the container. Common prohibited items include hazardous waste, liquid paints and solvents, motor oil, batteries, tires, electronics, and appliances containing refrigerants. Dried latex paint is generally accepted. If you are unsure about a specific item in your load, describe it on the call and we confirm whether it is accepted before you start loading.
Will the container damage my driveway?
A loaded container is heavy, and driveway surfaces vary. Placing boards or plywood under the contact points distributes the weight and reduces the chance of cracking or surface impressions, particularly on asphalt in warm weather or on older concrete. Describe your driveway surface when you call and we can talk through placement options that reduce the risk.
Free No-Obligation Quotes
We give you the rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. There is no commitment required to get a price.
Do I need a permit to place a container on the street?
Whether a permit is required depends on whether the container sits on private property or in the public right of way. Placement on a private driveway typically does not require a permit. Street placement is a different question, and the answer varies by address and jurisdiction. We confirm what applies at your specific location before delivery so nothing is left to guesswork.
How do I estimate the right size based on what I am loading?
The key is thinking about both volume and weight separately, because they pull in different directions. Heavy material like concrete, tile, or brick fills weight limits long before a container looks full, which is why the lowboy exists for those loads. Bulky, light material like furniture or general household junk fills by volume first. Describing what you are loading on the call lets us work through which constraint applies to your job and land on the right size.
What counts as heavy debris, and when should I ask about the lowboy?
Heavy debris is material that is dense relative to its volume. Concrete, brick, masonry, asphalt, and clean fill dirt are the clearest examples. These materials reach weight limits well before the container looks full, so sizing by eye leads to overages. The lowboy is designed around weight capacity rather than volume and is worth asking about when your load is almost entirely one of those materials.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We ask about your material and your job before recommending a size. Getting it right the first time saves you the cost and hassle of a swap-out mid-project.
Can I extend my rental if the project runs longer than expected?
Yes. Call before the original rental period ends and we handle the extension. Projects run long for all kinds of reasons, and flexible rental periods with no pressure to rush are part of how we work through both residential and commercial jobs. The additional cost for extra days is confirmed on that call.
What happens if my load goes over the weight allowance?
Weight that exceeds the included allowance is billed separately based on the overage. The transfer facility weighs the container on arrival, and that figure is what the overage charge is calculated from. The best way to avoid it is to describe your material accurately on the call so the weight allowance in the quote is matched to what you are actually loading.
Call us at (251) 369-7923 between 6:30 AM and 8:30 PM any day of the week and we will help you identify the right container, confirm availability, and get a price settled before anything is scheduled.
