All You Need To Know About Dumpster Rentals in Des Moines, IA

All are measured in Yards. One (1) Cubic Yard is 3 ft. x 3 ft. x 3 ft. = 27 sq. ft. So, it's easier to discuss and comprehend a 10 Yard container, for instance, versus an equivalent-sized 270 sq. ft. container. For visual purposes, consult with our dumpster sizes page.

While there is no deposit, we do require payment before delivery. You will receive the receipt after we pick up the dumpster and close out your work order.

Normally, if you order before noon, the dumpster will be delivered by the end of the day. We guarantee 24 hour delivery.

Call us for the pick up when you are finished with the dumpster. There are, however, several circumstances under which pick ups can be scheduled automatically - please ask us for more info.

It's not required. We will ask you where you would like the dumpster placed over the phone and inform the driver. Our drivers use their best judgment to place the bin in the safest accessible area you want it. In some cases, if relocation of the dumpster becomes necessary by the Homeowner or Contractor, additional fees may apply. So, we ask that you use your best judgement in determining whether or not someone should be there for the delivery
