How the process works

Schedule it

Call (517) 247-7195 or tap any button on this page. Describe the project and your preferred date — we lock in the container size and placement while you're still on the line.

We drop it off

We place the container exactly where you want it, boards underneath, door facing the direction you chose. You don't need to be there.

We take it away

Call or text once you're finished. We come get it and haul everything off, typically the next business day.

What can go in — and what stays out

If you're not sure about an item, ask us before tossing it in — that avoids a rejected load.

General household junk and furniture

Renovation and demolition debris

Asphalt roofing shingles

Framing lumber, plywood and trim boards

Drywall and plaster materials

Carpet, underlayment and floor coverings

Straight from our customers

“

They walked me through exactly where to park my cars so the truck could back in, and the container landed perfectly on the chalk lines.

Sent them a text Thursday evening, and the container was picked up Friday afternoon. Simplest part of the entire renovation.

I called at 9am, and a 20 yard was sitting in my driveway before lunch. The driver laid boards down without being asked.

Questions we hear all the time

Is same-day dumpster delivery available?

In most cases, yes — call before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's schedule. After 1pm you'll be on the first morning run the following day.

Will I need a permit in Lansing?

Not if the container sits on a private driveway. If it needs to go on a public street, Lansing requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the right office.

How many days can I keep the dumpster?

Seven days come standard with every size. Need more time? Just call or text before your scheduled pickup and we'll extend it.

What materials are allowed in the container?

Household junk, furniture, renovation debris, shingles, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard waste, dirt and concrete go in a separate heavy-debris container.

Where exactly do you place the dumpster?

Wherever our truck can safely reach — your driveway, side yard, or the street if you have a permit. Let us know which way you want the door to face and we'll position it accordingly.
