FAQ's on How To Rent A Dumpster

Dumpster Fire Disposal offers three popular roll-off dumpster sizes:

• 7-yard: Ideal for small cleanouts or yard projects.
• 15-yard: Great for home renovations and bulky item removal.
• 20-yard: Best for construction debris or large household cleanups.

Each dumpster is driveway-friendly and easy to load.

You can rent a dumpster from us for 1 to 7 days—whichever works best for your schedule. Most of our customers in Port Charlotte and Southwest Florida find that a week is perfect for home cleanouts, remodeling projects, or yard waste removal. Need it longer? Just give us a call or text at (239) 412-3283, and we’ll arrange a flexible dumpster rental extension if available.

In most cases, you will not need a permit if your roll-off dumpster rental is placed on private property such as your driveway. However, if you plan to place the dumpster on a public street, sidewalk, or right-of-way in Port Charlotte or other parts of Southwest Florida, a permit from the local city or county may be required. Don’t worry—we can guide you through the process and help you determine whether a dumpster permit is necessary for your project. To avoid delays and fines, it’s always best to check with your local municipality before scheduling your delivery. For fast answers, just call or text us at (239) 412-3283 and we’ll make sure your dumpster rental is compliant, safe, and hassle-free.

All the stuff. You can safely dispose of a wide range of non-hazardous waste with your Dumpster Fire rental. Common approved items include:

• Household junk such as old clothes, broken toys, and that exercise bike you swore you’d use
• Furniture like couches, chairs, tables, and your aunt’s 300-lb floral loveseat that’s haunted every move
• Yard debris—branches, leaves, storm cleanup, or that jungle of palm fronds you’ve been ignoring
• Construction and remodeling debris such as wood, drywall, flooring, cabinets, and tires (put them on top please)
• Roofing materials—yes, even shingles from that roof that should’ve been replaced in 1998

Restricted items—which cannot go in your Port Charlotte dumpster rental—include hazardous materials like chemicals, paints, oils, solvents, and car batteries. Sorry, no propane tanks, live alligators, or ex-roommates either. These must be handled through local hazardous waste programs. If you’re not sure whether your trash makes the cut, just call or text us at (239) 412-3283. We’ll help you choose the right roll-off dumpster for your cleanup. For bigger messes, we also offer options for heavy debris disposal like concrete, dirt, and asphalt.

Yes—our dumpster rentals include a built-in weight allowance (2 tons for a 20-yard dumpster or 4,000 Lbs). Think of it as the dumpster’s all you can eat buffet limit. Go over that limit, and extra disposal fees may apply, based on the excess weight. Don’t worry though—we’re happy to help you estimate the right dumpster size for your project ahead of time so you can avoid heavy surprises (that was a pun, everyone loves a pun).
