Most home cleanouts and remodels fit a 15 or 20-yard container; heavy debris like concrete, dirt and shingles goes in a 10 or 15-yard because of weight; renovations and new builds take a 30 or 40-yard. Describe the job and we size it on the phone, or see our dumpster sizes page.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What size dumpster do I need?
- How much does dumpster rental cost in Ocala?We quote one flat price up front based on the container size and the material. It includes delivery, the rental period, pickup and a disposal weight allowance; the only possible extra is the per-ton overage rate we state on the same quote. Call (352) 644-8330 for a number in one call.
- Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Ocala?The City of Ocala publishes no permit written for a dumpster. On your driveway or lot, we found no City permit or time limit. Its right-of-way utilization permit does not mention containers, so we keep them out of the street and ask Transportation Engineering (352-351-6733) before any street placement. Our permit guide covers Belleview, Dunnellon, Williston and the county too.
- Can I get a dumpster for a cleanout inside Ocala city limits?Not from us. The City’s Sanitation page says all solid waste inside city limits, except construction and demolition debris and recyclable commodities, must be collected by the City, so cleanout and junk loads there go to Ocala Sanitation (residential 352-351-6697). Remodel, roofing and demolition debris is fine in our roll-off. Outside city limits, including Silver Springs Shores and Marion Oaks, we do cleanouts too.
- How fast can you deliver?Call before noon and we can usually deliver the same afternoon across Ocala, Silver Springs, Silver Springs Shores and Anthony. Otherwise, the next day.
- How long can I keep the dumpster?Most home rentals run three to seven days, and contractors keep containers for weeks with swaps. Tell us the dates when you book; if your HOA sets a limit, we set the pickup to fit.
- What can’t go in the dumpster?Whole tires, lead-acid batteries, used oil, liquids, paint, household chemicals and asbestos. Appliances are fine if you tell us, because Florida keeps white goods out of landfills and we route them to metal recycling. Our guide lists where each item goes.
- Where does the waste go?To permitted facilities, such as Marion County’s Baseline transfer station at 5601 SE 66th St. The Baseline landfill reached capacity in July 2019, and the County now sends waste from there to a landfill in Sumter County. Appliances, metals and tires are handled as their own material.
- Will the dumpster damage my driveway?We set the container down rather than dragging it and put boards under the rails on request. Tell us if the surface is new or decorative and we will plan the placement around it.
- Are Ocala addresses outside city limits treated differently?Yes. Silver Springs Shores and Marion Oaks use Ocala mailing addresses but are unincorporated parts of Marion County, so the City’s collection rule does not apply there, and we take cleanout and junk loads as well as construction debris. Give us the address and we will tell you which side of the line it is on.
- Do you offer junk removal as well as dumpsters?Yes, outside Ocala city limits. Our junk removal crew loads, hauls and disposes of furniture, appliances and whole-house cleanouts, priced by the load with a firm quote on site.
- How much space does the truck need?About 60 feet of straight clearance to back in and roll the container off, and roughly 14 feet of overhead clearance, free of low wires and branches. Send a photo of the spot if you are unsure.
- Can I fill it above the top?No. The load must be level with the top rail so the truck can tarp it and travel legally. We will ask you to level an overfilled container before we haul it.
- What happens if I go over the weight allowance?You pay the per-ton overage rate we quoted when you booked, nothing more. Light loads rarely get near the allowance; heavy loads are why we size concrete, dirt and shingles into smaller containers.
- Do you serve outside Ocala?Yes: Silver Springs, Silver Springs Shores, Belleview, Marion Oaks, Summerfield, Ocklawaha, Anthony, Reddick, McIntosh, Citra, Fort McCoy, Dunnellon and Williston. See the service area.
