Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know roll-off dumpsters (and more)

How Long Can I Keep a Rented Dumpster?

Most rentals run about 7-10 days, which covers everything from a weekend cleanout to a full remodel. Need it longer for a bigger job? Just let us know – extending your rental is easy, and we’ll work around your project timeline instead of the other way around.

How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in the Lowcountry?

Pricing depends on the dumpster size, how long you need it, and what type of debris you’re throwing away – a straightforward yard cleanup costs less than a full renovation with construction debris. The fastest way to get an accurate number is a free quote: call 843-247-9482, email sales@currydisposal.com, or book online and we’ll walk you through it.

How Do I Book a Dumpster With Curry Disposal?

Booking takes just a couple of minutes at booking.currydisposal.com, or you can call 843-247-9482 or email sales@currydisposal.com if you’d rather talk it through first. Tell us your project, your address, and when you need it, and we’ll confirm a size and delivery window that works for you.

Do I Need to Be Home for Delivery or Pickup?

Nope – as long as we have clear access to the spot where you want the dumpster placed, our driver can drop it off or pick it up without you needing to be there. Just leave us a note on the booking with any gate codes, parking instructions, or placement details so delivery goes smoothly.

What Size Roll-Off Dumpster Do I Need for My Project?

It comes down to the scope of your project: a single-room cleanout or small repair usually fits in a 15-yard, a remodel or garage cleanout calls for a 20-yard, and a home addition or major renovation needs a 30 or 40-yard. Not sure? Tell us what you’re tackling when you call or book, and we’ll size it based on hundreds of Lowcountry jobs just like yours.

What Fits in a 15-Yard Dumpster?

Our 15-yard dumpster holds about 6 pickup truck loads of debris – plenty for a small kitchen or bathroom refresh, a single-room cleanout, minor yard debris, a small roofing repair, or decluttering before a move. It handles furniture, appliances, drywall, lumber, flooring, cabinets, branches, leaves, shingles, and small amounts of concrete or dirt, though heavy material adds up fast, so let us know if you’re hauling a lot of it.

What Fits in a 20-Yard Dumpster?

The 20-yard is our most popular size and holds roughly 8 pickup truck loads, or about 110-130 large trash bags. It’s the sweet spot for kitchen or bathroom remodels, attic, basement, or garage cleanouts, large yard cleanups, roofing tear-offs of up to 40-50 squares of single-layer shingles, and small demolitions like a shed or deck.

What Fits in a 30-Yard Dumpster?

A 30-yard dumpster gives you roughly 9-12 pickup truck loads of space – enough for a major home addition, full-floor renovation, large estate or foreclosure cleanout, extensive landscaping project, or commercial tenant improvement. It’s also a solid choice for small structure demolition, like removing a large deck or patio.

What Fits in a 40-Yard Dumpster?

Our biggest container holds about 12-16 pickup truck loads, or 240-260 trash bags, of debris. It’s built for large-scale construction and renovation jobs, full home demolitions, commercial roofing tear-offs, new home construction, commercial or industrial cleanouts, and big landscaping debris removal.

What If I Order a Dumpster and It Turns Out Too Small?

It happens more than you’d think – projects tend to generate more debris than you expect. Just give us a call and we’ll swap it out for a bigger size or drop off a second dumpster, usually within a day, so your project doesn’t sit waiting on trash.

What Can I Put in a Residential Dumpster?

Household junk, furniture, appliances, yard debris, flooring, drywall, cabinetry, and general construction debris from home projects are all fair game. Not sure whether something specific is allowed? Just ask when you book – it’s a lot easier to sort out ahead of time than after the truck shows up.

What Is a Roll-Off Dumpster and How Does Renting One Work?

A roll-off dumpster is the open-top container you see delivered on a truck and rolled right off onto your driveway or jobsite – that’s where the name comes from. You pick a size, we deliver it on your schedule, you fill it at your own pace, and we haul it away and handle the disposal when you’re done. Book online at booking.currydisposal.com or call 843-247-9482, and most Lowcountry deliveries are set within a day or two.

What Items Are Not Allowed in a Roll-Off Dumpster?

Hazardous materials are the main thing to keep out: paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil and other fluids, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, and medical or biohazard waste can’t go in a standard roll-off dumpster. These items need special disposal to meet South Carolina waste regulations, so let us know if your project involves any of them and we’ll point you toward the right option.

Can I Throw Away Furniture, Mattresses, and Old Appliances?

Furniture and most old appliances can go right in the dumpster. Appliances containing refrigerant, like refrigerators, freezers, and window AC units, sometimes need extra handling because of EPA rules, so mention them when you book so we can plan for it.

Can I Put Yard Waste, Branches, or Dirt in My Dumpster?

Yes, and the Lowcountry generates plenty of it – branches, leaves, brush, and general yard debris are all standard for a dumpster rental. Dirt, sod, and concrete are technically allowed too, but they’re heavy, so a little goes a long way toward your weight limit, and a dedicated load or smaller dumpster is often more cost-effective for large amounts.

Can I Dispose of Roofing Shingles and Construction Debris?

Absolutely – roofing tear-offs are one of the most common jobs we haul for. A 20-yard dumpster typically handles 40-50 squares of single-layer shingles, and we can size up for larger roofs or multi-layer tear-offs. Wood, drywall, flooring, and general construction debris are all standard as well.

What Happens If I Put a Prohibited Item in My Dumpster?

If a restricted item ends up in your dumpster, the disposal facility may flag it and we’ll need to work with you to remove it before the load can be processed, which can mean extra fees and delays. It’s an easy problem to avoid – just ask ahead of time if you’re unsure about something.

Is There a Weight Limit, and What Happens If I Go Over It?

Every dumpster size comes with a weight allowance built into the rental, and going over it means an additional charge based on the extra tonnage. Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, and shingles are the usual culprits, so tell us upfront if your project involves a lot of them and we’ll help you pick a size – and a plan – that keeps costs predictable.

What Size Dumpster Do I Need for a Home Cleanout or Move?

Most whole-home cleanouts and moving purges land comfortably in a 20-yard dumpster, while a single room, garage, or attic usually only needs a 15-yard. Clearing out years of accumulated stuff? Size up to a 30-yard so you’re not stuck ordering a second one halfway through.

Where Should the Dumpster Go on My Property?

A flat, accessible spot near the street is ideal, and most driveways work perfectly. Our trucks need about 60 feet of straight clearance to maneuver, so let us know if your driveway is tight or gated, or if you’d rather we place it on the street, and we’ll figure out the best spot together.

Do I Need a Permit to Have a Dumpster at My House?

If the dumpster sits in your own driveway or yard, you typically don’t need a permit. If it has to go on the street or right-of-way, your city or county may require one, so check with your local building or public works department, or ask us – we deal with Lowcountry permit rules regularly and can point you in the right direction.

Will a Dumpster Damage My Driveway or Yard?

A properly placed dumpster shouldn’t damage a driveway in good condition, and our drivers take care when positioning it. For older or more fragile concrete, asphalt, or pavers, we can lay down protective boards underneath – just ask when you book if you’re worried about your surface.

Do You Work With Contractors and Builders on Active Jobsites?

Every day. We work alongside general contractors, remodelers, roofers, and builders throughout Beaufort and Jasper Counties, and we understand that a jobsite can’t afford to wait around for a dumpster swap. Set up recurring service or a standing account and we’ll keep your site clear so your crew stays on schedule.

Can I Get a Dumpster Delivered on Short Notice for a Jobsite?

In most cases, yes – we know Lowcountry job schedules shift fast, and we do our best to accommodate same-day or next-day delivery when our schedule allows. Call 843-247-9482 as early as you can, and we’ll let you know exactly what’s available.

Do You Offer Dumpster Swaps for Ongoing Jobsites?

Yes – for active jobsites generating a steady stream of debris, we’ll swap out a full dumpster for an empty one on a schedule that matches your pace, whether that’s every few days or a set weekly rotation. Just tell us your project timeline when you set up service and we’ll build a swap schedule around it.

Can I Rent Multiple Dumpsters for a Large or Commercial Project?

Absolutely. New construction, commercial buildouts, and larger renovation projects often need more than one dumpster on-site at a time, and we can coordinate multiple deliveries, staggered swaps, or a standing rotation to match your build schedule.

What Areas Does Curry Disposal Serve?

We serve the South Carolina Lowcountry, including Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Beaufort, Port Royal, Lady’s Island, Hardeeville, Okatie, and Ridgeland, plus the surrounding areas of Beaufort and Jasper Counties. Not sure if you’re in range? Just call 843-247-9482 and we’ll let you know.

Do You Deliver to Jasper County, or Just Beaufort County?

Both – Curry Disposal delivers throughout Beaufort County and Jasper County, including Hardeeville, Ridgeland, and Okatie, not just the Hilton Head and Bluffton side of the Lowcountry. If you’re anywhere in between, chances are we already service your area.

How Fast Can You Deliver or Pick Up My Dumpster?

Standard deliveries are typically scheduled within a day or two of booking, and we offer expedited options when your project can’t wait. Pickup is just as easy – call or email when you’re done, and we’ll usually have it hauled away within a day.

Why Choose Curry Disposal Over Another Dumpster Company?

We’re a local, family-owned company that actually lives and works in the Lowcountry – not a national call center dispatching a truck from three states away. That means faster response times, straightforward pricing, and a crew that knows the difference between a Bluffton cul-de-sac and a Hilton Head gated community.

Does Curry Disposal Only Handle Dumpsters?

Dumpsters and disposal are our focus, but we’re part of Curry Family Brands, which also includes Lowcountry Pavers, CurryCrete Ready Mix Concrete, and American Roof Experts. So if your project needs pavers, concrete, or a new roof along with a dumpster, we can point you to a sister company that already knows the job.
