Residential Dumpster Rental in Erie, PA

Our residential dumpster rental is the container most Erie homeowners call about: a 10, 15 or 20-yard roll-off dropped on the driveway for a garage or basement cleanout, a kitchen or bathroom remodel, a move, or the estate of a family member. One flat price covers delivery, the rental period, pickup and a disposal weight allowance, and we quote it before the truck rolls.

Household cleanup dumpsters are built for the way a home job actually goes: a few days of filling, a weekend push, then a call to have it hauled. You choose the dates and we place the container where you want it, with boards under the rails if your driveway needs protecting.

Cleanouts are the most common job: basements and garages full of thirty years of boxes, rental units between tenants around Gannon and Penn State Behrend, and whole-house cleanouts after a move or a death in the family. A 15 or 20-yard container handles most of them in one go.

Remodels are next. A kitchen or bathroom tear-out, old flooring and carpet, plaster and lath from an older house near the bayfront, drywall and trim from a basement finish in Millcreek or Summit, or a deck coming down all fit a 10 to 20-yard box. If you are taking a roof off, tell us: shingles are heavy and we size for weight, not just volume.

We also deliver for storm clean-up after a lake-effect winter, shed and fence tear-downs, and the spring purge from Lawrence Park and Harborcreek to Fairview, Girard and Edinboro. If it is coming out of a house in Erie County, we have a container for it.

Most residential dumpsters go on the driveway. In the City of Erie that still needs the City’s prior approval: City Code § 1129.03 (QOL-10) says every temporary dumpster, whether on private property or in the right-of-way, must be approved by the City first, with a $100 ticket if it is skipped. The City publishes no form or fee for it, so we clear the placement with Code Enforcement or the Bureau of Engineering before we deliver.

Outside the city the rules change at every line: Harborcreek treats a dumpster as a temporary use and keeps it out of the road, North East Borough wants a 30-day zoning permit for a construction-debris container, Waterford Borough permits temporary storage containers for 30 days a year, Edinboro limits who may haul garbage in the borough, Summit exempts a construction dumpster from its screening rules, and Millcreek, Fairview, McKean and Lawrence Park publish no dumpster rule at all. Our service-area pages spell out each one.

Furniture, boxes, clothing, toys, carpet, flooring, drywall, lumber, cabinets, fixtures and general junk are all fine. Pennsylvania keeps some things out: since 24 January 2013 computers, monitors, printers and TVs may not go out with municipal waste at all, landfills may not take lead-acid batteries or loads that are mostly leaves, containers of free liquid over a gallon are refused, and hazardous waste never goes in. Refrigerators and air conditioners need the refrigerant recovered first, and oil-based paint, solvents and chemicals go to one of Erie County’s household hazardous waste collection days rather than a container. Our guide to what stays out lists the rest and where each item goes.

• 10 Yard Dumpster (12′ L × 8′ W × 3.5′ H, 1 to 2 tons included): a garage or single-room cleanout, or heavy debris like plaster, brick and concrete
