You’ve got debris piling up. Maybe it’s a kitchen gut, a roof tear-off, or years of stuff finally leaving your garage. The last thing you need is a dumpster company that makes you wait three days, charges you twice, or shows up with the wrong size.
Here’s what actually happens when you rent from us. You call or book online, we ask a few questions about your project, and we tell you exactly what it costs—delivery, rental, and haul-away included. No separate fees tacked on later. We deliver the dumpster where you need it, protect your driveway if that’s a concern, and pick it up when you’re done.
Your project doesn’t stop because you’re waiting on waste removal. You get a dumpster that fits, pricing that makes sense, and a team that’s been doing this in the Lowcountry for over eight years.
Smart Dumpsters is based in Mount Pleasant, and we’ve been serving Bonneau Beach and the surrounding Charleston area for more than eight years. That means we know the roads, the regulations, and what actually works when you’re trying to get a 20-yard dumpster into a tight driveway off Highway 52.
We’re not a national call center. When you reach out, you’re talking to someone who understands Berkeley County permit rules and can tell you whether you need one before the dumpster hits your property. We’ve worked with homeowners cleaning out flooded basements after storm season, contractors framing new builds near Lake Moultrie, and property managers handling turnovers in Bonneau Beach neighborhoods.
You’re not getting a script. You’re getting someone who’s seen your situation before and knows how to handle it.
First, you tell us what you’re working on. Renovation debris is different from yard waste, and construction materials have different weight limits than household cleanout junk. We’ll ask enough questions to get you the right size—10-yard for smaller residential projects, 15-yard for mid-size renovations, or 20-yard for full construction jobs.
Second, we give you one price. That includes delivery, your rental period (usually 3 or 10 days), and haul-away. If you need it longer, we’ll work with you. If you’re worried about your driveway, we’ll put down protection. If you’re placing it on the street, we’ll tell you whether Bonneau Beach or Berkeley County requires a permit.
Third, we deliver it when we say we will—often same-day or next-day. You load it at your pace. When you’re done, you call us and we pick it up. If you’ve got questions mid-project about what you can or can’t toss, we’re a phone call away. That’s it.
Ready to get started?
You get a clean dumpster in the size you need, delivered to your property in Bonneau Beach or anywhere in the Lowcountry. We’re talking about roll-off dumpsters—the kind with wheels that get dropped off a truck and sit flat on the ground, not the commercial bins you see behind grocery stores.
You also get a team that knows Charleston County waste regulations. That matters more than you’d think. Certain materials can’t go in a standard dumpster—things like batteries, paint, tires, and appliances with refrigerants. We’ll walk you through what’s allowed and point you toward recycling or e-waste options if you need them. If you’re a contractor working on a Bonneau Beach build, we can handle construction debris like wood, drywall, shingles, and concrete (within weight limits).
Rental periods are flexible. Standard is 3 or 10 days, but if your project runs long, we’re not going to penalize you for it. We also protect your property—if you’re worried about driveway damage, we use boards under the dumpster to distribute weight. And if you’re not sure where to put it, we’ll talk through placement so it’s not blocking your whole driveway or violating any local codes.
Most residential cleanouts—garage cleanups, estate cleanouts, or spring purges—fit comfortably in a 10-yard or 15-yard dumpster. A 10-yard holds about three pickup truck loads. That works for clearing out a single room, a small shed, or a garage with moderate junk.
If you’re cleaning out an entire house, dealing with furniture, or tackling a basement and attic at the same time, a 15-yard is the safer bet. It holds about four and a half pickup loads and gives you room to toss bulky items without playing Tetris every time you load it.
When in doubt, go one size up. Running out of space halfway through means either stopping your project or paying for a second dumpster. We’d rather you have the room and not need all of it than get stuck with overflow.
If the dumpster stays on your property—your driveway, your yard—you don’t need a permit. That’s the case across Berkeley County and Bonneau Beach specifically. You own the space, you’re good to go.
If you need to put the dumpster on the street or any public right-of-way because your driveway won’t fit it or you don’t want the weight on your pavement, that’s when you need a permit. Berkeley County handles those, and the process usually takes a day or two. We’ll tell you exactly what’s required and point you in the right direction.
Most of our Bonneau Beach customers keep it on their property and skip the permit altogether. But if your situation calls for street placement, don’t skip that step—code enforcement will notice, and the citation costs more than the permit.
Our pricing is all-inclusive, so you’re not getting hit with separate delivery and pickup fees. For Bonneau Beach, a 10-yard dumpster typically starts around $299 depending on what you’re tossing and how long you need it. A 15-yard runs a bit more, and a 20-yard is the highest—but that’s because it holds significantly more weight and volume.
The final price depends on three things: size, rental period, and weight. If you’re tossing lightweight stuff like household junk or yard waste, you’ll stay on the lower end. If you’re loading it with concrete, dirt, or roofing shingles, weight becomes a factor and the cost adjusts accordingly.
We’ll give you the full number upfront. No surprises, no “oh by the way” fees when we pick it up. What we quote is what you pay.
Yes. Construction debris is one of the most common reasons contractors and DIYers rent from us. That includes lumber, drywall, framing materials, siding, flooring, shingles, and even concrete in controlled amounts.
What you can’t put in: hazardous materials like paint, solvents, asbestos, batteries, or appliances with refrigerants (like fridges and AC units). Those require special disposal, and we’ll point you toward the right resources if that’s part of your project.
If you’re doing a tear-out or a build in Bonneau Beach and you’ve got a mix of materials, just let us know what’s going in. We’ll make sure you’re renting the right size and staying within weight limits so there’s no issue on pickup. Concrete and dirt are heavy—if that’s the bulk of your load, we’ll talk through options that keep your cost reasonable.
Same-day delivery is available most days if you call or book in the morning. If it’s later in the afternoon or we’re running a heavy schedule, next-day is the norm. Either way, you’re not waiting a week.
We’re based in Mount Pleasant, and Bonneau Beach is within our standard service area. That means we’re not coordinating with a third party or waiting on a regional hub to dispatch a truck. When you book with us, we control the schedule.
If you’ve got a hard deadline—maybe a contractor’s coming tomorrow or you’ve got a dumpster inspection tied to a permit—let us know. We’ll do what we can to hit your timeline. Most of our Bonneau Beach customers get their dumpster within 24 hours of calling.
Just call us. We’re not running a late-fee racket. If your project takes longer than expected—and they almost always do—we’ll extend your rental. There’s usually a small daily rate after your initial period ends, but we’ll talk through it so you know what to expect.
Most rentals are 3 or 10 days, and that covers the majority of home cleanouts and small renovations. Bigger projects, especially construction jobs, sometimes need two weeks or more. We’ve worked with customers who kept a dumpster on-site for a month because the job kept evolving.
The key is communication. If you know early on that you’ll need extra time, tell us. If something changes mid-project, call us. We’d rather work with you than penalize you for something out of your control.
