Common questions
What size dumpster do I need?
It depends on the material and how much space you have. Household cleanouts, roofing, concrete, and remodel debris fill differently. Photos and a short description help pick the right box.
Can a dumpster go in my driveway?
Usually, yes if the truck has room to back in and set the box down. Ask about boards or surface protection if you have decorative concrete, pavers, or a tight Southside driveway.
What cannot go in a dumpster?
Do not load paint, fuel, chemicals, batteries, medical waste, loose liquids, propane tanks, or hazardous material. Appliances, tires, concrete, dirt, and shingles may have separate rules or weight limits.
Is dumpster rental licensed in Texas?
There is not a single statewide dumpster-rental trade license. The hauler still has to follow TCEQ waste rules, local placement rules, landfill rules, and safe trucking requirements.
Can I keep it longer if the project runs behind?
Usually, as long as the dumpster is not already scheduled for another job. Call before the pickup window so the hauler can adjust the route.
Can you take roofing shingles?
Yes, but shingles are heavy and may need a specific dumpster size or load limit. Tell the hauler it is a roofing job before delivery so the box and placement are right.
Do I need a permit?
If the dumpster stays on private property, often no. If it sits in the street, blocks a sidewalk, or lands in a managed community, you may need approval from the city, HOA, property manager, or jobsite owner.
