We drop off your dumpster and you fill it on your timeline. When you’re done, you call us and we pick it up. That’s it. No hidden fees for pickup, no surprise charges because you filled it wrong. Just straightforward trash dumpsters near me service that works the way it should.

You get a dumpster that fits your project, delivered when we say it will be. We offer 10-yard, 15-yard, and 20-yard dumpsters for residential renovations, construction debris, estate cleanouts, and landscaping projects. Most Sullivan’s Island homeowners go with the 15-yard for kitchen or bathroom remodels and the 20-yard for whole-home renovations or major cleanouts.
Delivery includes careful placement. We’re not tearing up your driveway or knocking over your mailbox. Sullivan’s Island properties have mature landscaping and expensive hardscaping, and we treat them that way. If there are low-hanging branches or tight access points, we’ll figure it out before we show up.
You also get straightforward communication. When you call, you’re talking to someone who knows the area and can give you real answers. Not someone reading a script. If you’re not sure what size you need, we’ll help you figure it out based on what you’re actually throwing away.
And you get flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay. Period. That includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and your rental period. The only time you’d pay more is if you go over the weight limit or put in prohibited materials, and we’ll tell you those limits upfront so there’s no confusion.
Most kitchen or bathroom renovations fit comfortably in a 15-yard dumpster. That gives you enough space for cabinets, countertops, drywall, and tile without paying for capacity you won’t use.
If you’re doing a whole-home remodel or tearing out multiple rooms, a 20-yard dumpster is usually the better call. It holds about 10 pickup truck loads of debris, which covers most full-scale residential projects.
For smaller jobs like a single-room cleanout or minor landscaping work, a 10-yard dumpster works fine. The key is being honest about how much material you’re actually removing. If you’re not sure, call us and describe the project. We’ll tell you what size makes sense based on what we’ve seen with similar jobs on the island.
If the dumpster is going in your driveway on your property, you usually don’t need a permit. That’s the simplest option and what most homeowners do.
If you need to place it on the street because your driveway doesn’t have clearance or access, then yes, you’ll likely need a permit from the Town of Sullivan’s Island. Requirements can vary depending on how long you need it there and where exactly it’s going.
We’ll help you figure out if you need a permit and what the process looks like. It’s not complicated, but it’s easier to handle before delivery day than after. If you’re working with a contractor, they may already know the drill. If not, we’ll walk you through it so you’re not guessing.
We charge flat rates based on dumpster size, and the price includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and your rental period. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after the fact.
A 10-yard dumpster typically runs less than a 15-yard, and a 20-yard costs more because you’re getting more capacity and higher weight limits. Exact pricing depends on your specific project and how long you need the dumpster, but we’ll give you the full number upfront before we deliver.
The only time you’d pay more than the quoted price is if you exceed the weight limit or put prohibited items in the dumpster, like hazardous materials or certain electronics. We’ll tell you those limits when we quote your job so there’s no confusion. Most residential projects in Sullivan’s Island stay well within the standard weight limits, so overages are rare.
We offer same-day and next-day delivery depending on when you call and what our schedule looks like. If you call in the morning, there’s a good chance we can get a dumpster to you the same day.
Sullivan’s Island is close enough to our service area that logistics aren’t an issue. We’re not making you wait a week because you’re “too far out.” You’re well within our regular delivery zone.
When you call, we’ll tell you exactly when we can deliver. If same-day doesn’t work, next-day almost always does. We’ll also confirm the delivery window so you’re not sitting around all day waiting. Once we give you a timeframe, we stick to it.
Most household debris is fine. Construction materials like drywall, wood, tile, cabinets, and flooring all go in. Furniture, appliances without refrigerants, and general household junk work too. Yard waste like branches, leaves, and dirt are usually acceptable depending on the project.
What you can’t put in: hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, asbestos, or oil. No tires, batteries, or appliances with refrigerants unless we’ve discussed it ahead of time. Electronics sometimes have restrictions depending on disposal regulations.
If you’re not sure about something specific, just ask when you call. We’d rather answer the question upfront than have you deal with it on pickup day. Most residential renovation and cleanout projects don’t run into issues, but it’s worth confirming if you’ve got something unusual you’re trying to get rid of.
We take placement seriously, especially in Sullivan’s Island where driveways and landscaping aren’t cheap to fix. Our drivers know how to set dumpsters down without tearing up asphalt or concrete.
If your driveway is newer or you’re concerned about weight, we can put boards underneath the dumpster to distribute the load. Just let us know when you schedule delivery and we’ll plan for it.
We also pay attention to clearance. Low-hanging tree branches, narrow driveways, and tight turns are common here, and we’ve handled all of them before. If there’s a tricky access situation, we’ll figure it out before delivery day so there are no surprises. You’re not going to end up with a dumpster sitting in the wrong spot or damage to your property because we rushed the job.
