Construction & C&D Dumpster Rental

C&D dumpsters differ from standard cleanout containers in weight, not just volume. Construction debris — a stack of tear-off shingles, wet drywall, or a broken-up patio slab — hits the tonnage limit long before the box looks full. That's why we quote the container size AND the included tonnage together, so a framer in Rosewood and a bath-remodel crew in Shandon each get a number that actually fits the load. If you're demoing concrete or brick, tell us up front: dense inert material often goes in a smaller 10-yard so you're not paying for air, and it keeps you under the weight ceiling.

Sizing depends on the phase of work. A single-room gut in Wales Garden or Heathwood usually clears with a 15-yard. A whole-house remodel, a roofing tear-off in Forest Acres, or a new-build framing stage in Lake Katherine leans toward a 20- or 30-yard. Roofing shingles are deceptively heavy — a full re-roof on a Melrose Heights bungalow can max a mid-size container on weight alone, so we'll flag that when you describe the square footage. When you're not sure, count the rooms and the material type over the phone and we'll pick the size that keeps your crew moving.

Placement matters on active sites. Many Columbia neighborhoods — Earlewood, Hollywood-Rose Hill, and the older Cottontown streets near downtown — have narrow driveways, mature tree canopies, and tight curb frontage that affect where a roll-off truck can set the container. Tell us whether you want it in the driveway, on-site inside the lot, or on the street. Street placement in the City of Columbia or unincorporated Richland County can require a right-of-way permit, so confirm placement before delivery day and we'll steer you clear of a fine.

The pricing is the part contractors care about most, and it's where we don't play games. Your quote covers delivery, pickup, and disposal against a stated tonnage allowance. If you go over that weight, the per-ton overage rate is disclosed in your quote — not sprung on you at pickup. No mystery fuel surcharge, no environmental add-on you didn't hear about. Dropped on time, hauled when you're done, and the number you agreed to is the number you pay.
