Three steps, one conversation

Schedule it

Dial (608) 300-8623 or tap any button on this page. Let us know the project and the date — we lock in the size and the placement before you hang up.

We drop it off

We place the container exactly where you want it, boards underneath, door facing your preferred direction. You don't need to be there.

We take it away

Give us a call or text when the container is full. We come get it and haul everything off, typically the next business day.

Six reasons Dubuque trusts us

Correct size from the start

Describe the project and we'll recommend the size — including when a smaller container will handle it.

Family run, never brokered

You speak directly with the people who own the trucks — not a booking center in another state.

Fully licensed and insured

Covered for residential and commercial jobs throughout IA. We provide certificates on request.

A full week on every rental

All containers come with seven days on site, and scheduling pickup takes just one text.

Same-day for early orders

Place your order before 1pm and we can usually get a container on your driveway that same afternoon.

Your driveway stays protected

Our crew sets boards beneath the rails before the container ever touches your pavement.

What our neighbors say

“

Sent them a text on a Thursday evening, and the container was picked up by Friday afternoon. Simplest part of the whole project.

We loaded it up quicker than we expected and they had a second container dropped off the following morning with zero hassle.

Hired them for a roof tear-off, then again for a cleanout the next month. Same team both times, same person answering the phone.

Frequently asked questions

How many days can I keep the dumpster?

Every container comes with a seven-day window. Need more time? Reach out by call or text before your scheduled pickup and we'll extend it.

What materials are allowed in the dumpster?

Household junk, furniture, renovation debris, roofing, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard waste, soil and concrete go in a separate heavy-debris container.

Is same-day dumpster delivery available?

In most cases, yes — place your order before 1pm on a weekday and we will fit you into that afternoon's schedule. Orders after 1pm go out on the first run the following morning.

Which size do most homeowners go with?

The 20 yard. It covers a kitchen remodel or a full-home cleanout, and it is our most-delivered size in Dubuque. If your project calls for less, we will let you know and bring the 10 or 15 instead.

Where exactly will the container go?

Wherever our truck can safely access — your driveway, side yard, or the street if you have a permit. Tell us which direction you want the door to face and we will set it up that way.
