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 already know the town won’t pick up construction materials. That’s not news. What matters is how fast you can get a dumpster on-site so your contractor isn’t waiting and your timeline doesn’t slip.
We deliver roll off dumpsters the same day if you call before noon. Most projects in Sullivan’s Island need a 10 or 15-yard dumpster, and we stock both sizes locally. No waiting on availability from a regional depot two counties over.
The dumpster shows up with built-in driveway protection. You fill it at your pace. When you’re done, we haul it off. If your project runs longer than expected, extending your rental period takes one phone call. You’re not locked into arbitrary pickup dates that don’t match reality.
We operate out of the Charleston area. We’re not routing your call through a national franchise that doesn’t know Sullivan’s Island from Summerville. When you call, you’re talking to someone who knows how narrow some of those driveways are and what “historic district restrictions” actually means.
We’ve been handling waste removal for residential renovations, roof replacements, and estate cleanouts across the Charleston metro for years. You’ll find our reviews mention the same things: we show up when we say we will, our pricing doesn’t change after you book, and our drivers know how to navigate tight island streets without tearing up landscaping.
You call or book online and tell us what you’re working on. We recommend a dumpster size based on your project scope—most Sullivan’s Island renovations need a 10-yard for bathroom or kitchen remodels, or a 15-yard for whole-home cleanouts or roof tear-offs. You get flat-rate pricing right then. No “we’ll call you back with a quote.”
We deliver the same day if you book before noon, or next-day if you’re planning ahead. The driver places the dumpster where you want it, using protective boards under the unit so your driveway or pavement stays intact. You get a standard rental period of 7 days, which covers most residential projects without rushing.
You fill the dumpster as your project progresses. When you’re done, you call us for pickup. If you need it longer, you extend the rental. If you finish early, we pick it up early. The process doesn’t fight your schedule.

Every roll off dumpster rental includes delivery, pickup, disposal fees, and a 7-day rental period in the base price. You’re not paying separately for each piece. Driveway protection boards come standard because we’ve seen what metal edges do to asphalt and pavers in coastal humidity.
You can dispose of construction debris, renovation waste, old fixtures, flooring, drywall, and most household cleanout materials. Roofing shingles are fine. Yard waste from landscaping projects works. What doesn’t work: hazardous materials, electronics, concrete in large quantities, or anything the landfill won’t accept. If you’re unsure about a specific material, ask before you load it.
Sullivan’s Island projects often involve historic home renovations where space is tight and neighbors are close. We deliver smaller 10-yard dumpsters that fit in compact driveways without blocking the street. If your project generates more waste than expected, we’ll swap it for a larger size or do a mid-project pickup. You’re not stuck with an overflowing dumpster waiting for your rental period to end.
A 10-yard dumpster handles most single-room renovations in Sullivan’s Island. That includes a full kitchen or bathroom tearout with cabinets, countertops, old appliances, tile, drywall, and flooring. It holds roughly 4-5 pickup truck loads.
If you’re gutting multiple rooms or doing a whole-home renovation, you’ll want a 15-yard or 20-yard dumpster. The 15-yard works for two-room remodels or a small roof replacement. The 20-yard covers larger roof projects or full-home cleanouts when you’re clearing decades of accumulated belongings.
Most contractors underestimate debris volume. If you’re on the fence between sizes, go up one. It costs less than ordering a second dumpster mid-project when the first one fills up faster than expected.
Same day if you call before noon on weekdays. We keep inventory staged locally, so we’re not waiting on a truck to drive in from another county. Most Sullivan’s Island deliveries happen within 4-6 hours of booking.
If you call after noon or need a specific delivery window, next-day delivery is standard. We’ll give you a timeframe the day before so you’re not waiting around all day. For planned projects, you can schedule delivery a week or two out and lock in your preferred date.
Emergency situations—storm damage, unexpected contractor needs, estate sale deadlines—get priority routing. We’ve delivered dumpsters on weekends when a project couldn’t wait until Monday. That’s not always possible, but we make it work more often than not.
Not if it’s placed correctly, which is why we include driveway protection with every delivery. We use heavy-duty boards under the dumpster to distribute weight and prevent metal edges from cracking pavement or crushing pavers. Coastal driveways already deal with heat, salt air, and moisture—we’re not adding stress fractures to that list.
The bigger risk is usually placement. If your driveway has a steep slope or weak spots, we’ll recommend positioning the dumpster on the street with a permit, or on a more stable surface like a concrete pad. Sullivan’s Island has narrow lots and tight access, so we walk the placement before dropping the unit.
If you have decorative pavers, a shell driveway, or recently sealed asphalt, mention that when you book. We’ll take extra precautions or suggest an alternative spot that keeps both the dumpster accessible and your property intact.
Hazardous materials, electronics, tires, batteries, paint cans with liquid, asbestos, and appliances with refrigerants. Those require separate disposal methods and aren’t allowed in landfills. If you’re cleaning out an old home, that usually means setting aside old TVs, paint, and any chemicals before the dumpster arrives.
Concrete and brick are allowed in limited quantities—a few broken pavers or a small section of sidewalk is fine. A full driveway demolition isn’t. Heavy materials like that need a dedicated concrete dumpster because they max out weight limits fast and can’t be mixed with lighter debris.
Yard waste is fine for most projects, but if you’re clearing a heavily overgrown lot, ask first. Large volumes of dirt, sod, or tree stumps sometimes need separate handling. When in doubt, describe what you’re tossing when you book. We’ll tell you if it works or if you need a different disposal route.
Yes, if the dumpster sits in the street or public right-of-way. Sullivan’s Island requires a permit from the town for any obstruction in the roadway, including roll off dumpsters. The permit process is straightforward, but it takes a few days, so plan ahead if your driveway won’t work.
Most residential driveways can fit a 10-yard dumpster without blocking the street. If your property has limited space or you’re concerned about driveway damage, a street permit is the better option. We can walk you through the permit application, but you’ll need to submit it directly to the town.
If you’re doing a large project that requires street parking for contractor vehicles and a dumpster, coordinate timing with the town. Some streets have restrictions during peak tourism season or special events. Getting the permit sorted a week before delivery prevents last-minute scrambling when the dumpster is already on the truck.
A 10-yard dumpster typically runs $350-$450 for a 7-day rental, including delivery, pickup, and disposal. A 15-yard dumpster is usually $400-$500. A 20-yard dumpster ranges from $450-$550. Those are flat rates—no surprise fees for fuel, mileage, or environmental charges tacked on at the end.
If you keep the dumpster longer than 7 days, daily extension fees apply, usually $10-$15 per day. If you go over the weight limit (1-2 tons depending on size), overage fees are around $50-$75 per additional ton. Most residential renovations stay under the weight limit unless you’re tossing heavy materials like concrete or dirt.
You’ll see cheaper prices advertised online from national companies. Those quotes often exclude delivery fees, disposal costs, and taxes. By the time you check out, the price is higher than the initial estimate. We give you the full price upfront so you can budget accurately and compare honestly.
