They are the best quick service and very professional. Thank you and I will be using your services againPosted on Billy JackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome people to deal with, brought the dumpster asap and always picked up the day I called when it was full. Also replaced it with another dumpster the same day .Posted on Darryl MihalekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hasan and his team provided an amazing service at an excellent price point. They are very easy to work with and went the extra mile for this customer. This was my first time renting a dumpster in Charleston. I reached out to other “leaders” in the field but was most impressed by Hasan’s flexibility, availability of inventory and pricing. Others charged for delivery and haul away. With this group, it was one simple price (and also the lowest). I recommend this company and plan to do business again.Posted on Peter MasulloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Smart Dumpsters was phenomenal. Their website has most of the information you need such as dumpster size and pricing and there are no hidden fees or other surprises. I called with some specific questions and the gentleman who answered gave me all the information I requested. Delivery of the dumpster was without hassle and removal posed no issues. We rented their largest residential dumpster which was 6 feet tall and held 20 cubic yards. Their large dumpsters have a door the width of the unit making it easy to walk things into the dumpster. Something to be aware of is the shape of the dumpster floor. It’s sort of ‘U’ shaped which wasn’t an issue for us but something we had to factor in based on the shapes of things we were throwing away. Also, it helps if you take advantage of the door and walk things in since you will fit more into the dumpster than if you were to just randomly toss things in. I really can’t say enough about how positive my experience was.
You’ve got debris piling up and a timeline that doesn’t wait. The last thing you need is a dumpster company that ghosts your calls or tacks on fees you didn’t see coming.
When you rent a roll off dumpster from us, you get one price that covers delivery, pickup, disposal, and the rental period. No separate haul-away charges. No “oops, that’s extra” conversations. You know what you’re paying before the dumpster hits your driveway.
We deliver when we say we will—same-day or next-day in most cases. Your contractor isn’t waiting around. Your weekend cleanout doesn’t get pushed to next month. The dumpster shows up, you fill it, we haul it. That’s it.
We’ve been serving Dorchester and the greater Charleston area for over eight years. We’re not a call center in another state—we’re local, and we know how permits work in Charleston County, what sizes fit in Dorchester driveways, and how to keep your project moving without the usual headaches.
We’ve handled hundreds of residential cleanouts, contractor jobs, and commercial projects across the Lowcountry. Our team helps you figure out what size you actually need, whether you need a permit, and where to place the dumpster so it doesn’t block your neighbor or crack your concrete.
You’re not a ticket number here. You’re someone with a real project and real questions, and we treat it that way.
First, you tell us what you’re working on—renovation, cleanout, roofing job, whatever. We help you pick the right size dumpster. Most residential projects use a 15-yard or 20-yard. Smaller cleanouts fit fine in a 10-yard. If you’re not sure, we’ll ask a few questions and steer you right.
Next, we schedule delivery. You can usually get a dumpster the same day or next day, depending on when you call. We’ll confirm a delivery window, and we actually show up in it. Our driver will place the dumpster where you want it—on the driveway, in the yard, curbside if that works better. We use driveway protection to keep your concrete safe.
You fill it over your rental period, which is typically three to ten days. Need more time? Just let us know. When you’re done, give us a call and we’ll pick it up. We handle the disposal, the recycling, and all the stuff you don’t want to think about. You move on to the next thing.
Ready to get started?
Every dumpster rental includes delivery, pickup, your rental period, disposal fees, and taxes. One flat rate. You’re not paying separately for the driver to come back.
We offer 10-yard, 15-yard, and 20-yard dumpsters. The 10-yard works for small cleanouts or garage decluttering. The 15-yard handles most home renovations, flooring jobs, or moderate landscaping projects. The 20-yard is what contractors use for larger construction jobs or full-home cleanouts.
Dorchester is part of Charleston County, so depending on where you place the dumpster—especially if it’s going on the street—you may need a permit from the county or town. We’ll walk you through that. Most driveway placements don’t need one, but it’s worth asking before the dumpster arrives. We’ve been doing this long enough to know which situations need permits and which don’t.
We also offer eco-friendly disposal options. If you’ve got e-waste, recyclables, or materials that shouldn’t hit the landfill, let us know upfront. We’ll route it properly and keep you compliant with local regulations.
Most dumpster rentals in Dorchester run between $400 and $675, depending on the size you need and how long you keep it. That price includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and your rental period—usually three to ten days.
We use flat-rate pricing, so you’re not getting hit with separate delivery fees or surprise haul-away charges. The price we quote is the price you pay. If you need the dumpster longer than your rental period, extensions are available—just call before your pickup date and we’ll adjust it.
The size you choose affects the cost. A 10-yard dumpster costs less than a 20-yard, but if you pick too small and need a second haul, you’ll spend more overall. We help you avoid that by asking the right questions upfront.
For most home cleanouts, garage decluttering, or small renovation projects, a 10-yard or 15-yard dumpster works. If you’re gutting a kitchen, replacing flooring in multiple rooms, or doing a major landscaping overhaul, you’ll probably want a 15-yard or 20-yard.
A 10-yard dumpster holds about three pickup truck loads. A 15-yard holds about four and a half. A 20-yard holds six. If you’re a contractor managing a construction or demo job, the 20-yard is usually the move.
When you’re not sure, it’s better to go one size up than to run out of space halfway through. But we’ll talk through your project with you—what you’re tearing out, how much debris you expect, how long the job will take—and recommend a size that makes sense. You’re not guessing alone.
It depends on where you’re putting it. If the dumpster is going on your driveway or private property, you usually don’t need a permit. If it’s going on the street or public right-of-way, Charleston County or the Town of Dorchester may require one.
Permit rules vary depending on your exact location and how long the dumpster will be there. Some municipalities are strict about street placements, especially in residential neighborhoods. Others are more flexible.
We help customers navigate this all the time. When you book, we’ll ask where you’re planning to place the dumpster and let you know if a permit is likely. If you need one, we’ll point you to the right office and explain what’s required. It’s usually a quick process, but it’s better to handle it before delivery day than deal with a citation later.
In most cases, we can deliver same-day or next-day. If you call in the morning, there’s a good chance we can get a dumpster to you that afternoon, depending on our schedule and your location in Dorchester.
We don’t make you wait a week. We know your project has a start date, and delays cost you time and money. Once you book, we’ll confirm a delivery window and stick to it.
If you need a dumpster for a specific day—say, your contractor is starting demo on Wednesday—just let us know when you call. We’ll lock in that date and make sure it’s there before the work starts. That’s how it should work, and that’s how we run it.
You can toss most household debris, construction materials, furniture, appliances, yard waste, and general junk. That includes drywall, wood, flooring, shingles, siding, cabinets, old furniture, and landscaping debris like branches and soil.
What you can’t put in: hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, asbestos, tires, batteries, or anything flammable or toxic. Those require special disposal, and they’re not allowed in standard roll off dumpsters.
If you’ve got e-waste—old TVs, computers, monitors—we offer eco-friendly disposal options for that. Same goes for recyclable materials. Just let us know what you’re dealing with when you book, and we’ll make sure it’s handled properly. Charleston County has specific regulations around waste disposal, and we stay on top of them so you don’t have to.
We use driveway protection to minimize the risk. Our dumpsters are placed on boards or mats that distribute the weight and protect your concrete or asphalt from cracking or scuffing.
That said, if your driveway is already in rough shape—cracked, uneven, or old—there’s always some risk with heavy equipment. We do everything we can to avoid damage, but older driveways are more vulnerable.
If you’re concerned, let us know when you book. We can talk through placement options—maybe the dumpster goes on the street with a permit, or in the yard, or at the curb instead of up the driveway. We’ve worked with all kinds of properties in Dorchester, and we’ll figure out the safest spot for your situation.
