Dumpsters Built Around Your Job Schedule
Construction debris rarely arrives at a steady pace. Demolition produces a lot in a few days, framing produces little, and finish work brings a final wave of packaging and offcuts. We plan the rental around that: drop the container before demo day, swap it when it is full and leave an empty box on site so the crew never stops to wait for a haul.
Tell us your phase dates when you book. We confirm a delivery window, the placement spot and a swap-out plan, and you can call the same number for every change.
Construction Dumpster Rental in San Francisco
San Francisco job sites are tight. Most residential projects have no driveway that can take a container, so the dumpster sits in the parking lane in front of the property. That needs a street space permit from San Francisco Public Works. We handle your permit as part of the booking, so you are not chasing paperwork before demo day.
San Francisco also requires construction and demolition debris to be hauled by a registered transporter and taken to a facility that recycles it. Our loads go to registered processing facilities, and we can provide the disposal tickets your project needs for diversion reporting.
Keeping Heavy Debris Separate
Concrete, dirt, brick and asphalt are far denser than general construction debris. Put them in a 10 yard heavy-debris box rather than a large mixed container: you stay within safe road limits, and clean heavy loads are recycled instead of landfilled.

Construction Dumpster Rental FAQs
The 20 yard is the most common size for residential remodels and roofing jobs. The 40 yard suits new construction and commercial work, and the 10 yard is used for concrete, dirt and other heavy debris.
Yes. We can pick up a full container and drop an empty one in the same trip so the site is never without a dumpster. Schedule swaps in advance or call when the box is full.
Yes. If the container has to go on a San Francisco street or in a parking lane, we handle your permit as part of the booking. A dumpster kept entirely on private property does not need one.
No. Concrete, dirt, brick and asphalt go in a separate heavy-debris container. Mixing them into a general load makes it overweight and stops the material from being recycled.
Yes. Ask when you book and we will send the disposal facility tickets for each haul so you can document recycling for your building permit.
