Fast, Hassle-Free Demolition Dumpster Rental Near You
Tearing out a kitchen, ripping up a concrete patio, or demolishing a detached garage generates a massive amount of debris that won't fit in your weekly trash pickup. When demolition begins, you need a demolition dumpster on your job site before the first wall comes down - not days later. WRS Dumpster Rentals provides fast, reliable demolition dumpster rental across parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, with pricing starting as low as $435.00 and no hidden fees built into your quote.

Demolition Dumpster Sizes & Pricing (Roll-Off Containers)
Demolition debris is both heavy and bulky, and picking the right size saves money. Typical dumpster sizes range from 10 to 40 cubic yards for demolition projects. Every container comes with an included tonnage - exceed it, and overage fees apply. The prices below reflect typical ranges for the WRS service area as of 2026 and may vary slightly by county or material type.
10 Yard Demolition Dumpster – Light Demo & Small Tear-Outs
The 10 yard roll off is ideal for small interior demolitions: a single bathroom gut, a small kitchen strip-out, or removing a few interior walls. A 10-yard dumpster holds 4 pickup loads of mixed demolition debris, giving you a practical sense of volume.
Pricing: 10-yard demolition dumpster with 1 ton of debris included - $435.00 to $495.00.
Keep in mind that heavy materials like concrete, brick, or tile may hit the weight limit well before the container looks visually full. Heavy materials can fill a dumpster's weight limit quickly, so if your demo involves dense masonry, talk to us about whether a dedicated heavy-debris container makes more sense.
15 Yard Demolition Dumpster – Mid-Size Interior Demolitions
When you're tearing out two or more rooms, handling a partial basement demo, or removing an old deck, the 15-yard roll off container gives you the extra capacity without oversizing. Approximate capacity runs about 4–5 pickup loads of mixed debris.
Pricing: 15-yard dumpster with 1.5 tons included - $505.00 to $565.00.
This size is often the sweet spot for homeowners tackling aggressive remodeling projects without going all the way to full-structure demolition. It handles most waste from a combined kitchen-and-bath gut in a typical residential home.
20 Yard Demolition Dumpster – Whole-Room & Small Structure Demolition
Full kitchen and bath demo, detached garage tear-downs, or heavy siding and roofing tear-offs all fit the 20-yard container well. A 20-yard dumpster holds about 6 pickup loads of drywall, studs, and flooring - though some sources estimate up to 8 pickup loads depending on how debris is broken down and stacked.
Pricing: 20-yard dumpster with 2 tons included - $575.00 to $625.00.
This is one of our most popular dumpster sizes for contractors doing single-house interior gut jobs. It gives enough room for construction materials from an entire floor without the cost jump to a 30-yard.
30 Yard Demolition Dumpster – Large Residential & Light Commercial Demo
For partial house gutting, large additions, multi-room demolitions, or small commercial interior strip-outs, the 30-yard roll off container delivers serious capacity. A 30-yard dumpster holds about 9 pickup loads of construction debris - some estimates run as high as 14 pickup loads for lighter mixed debris. A 30-yard dumpster is sufficient for demolishing one or two rooms of heavy construction, or several rooms of standard drywall-and-framing demo.
Pricing: 30-yard dumpster with 3 tons included - $645.00 to $805.00, depending on location and material type.
Weight limits matter here: if you're loading heavy materials like concrete, roofing shingles, or masonry block, WRS will advise whether multiple dumpsters - perhaps separate dumpsters for heavy and light debris - are more cost-effective than a single overloaded 30-yard.
40 Yard Demolition Dumpster – Major Demolition Projects
The 40 yard roll off is reserved for the largest demolition projects: multi-story structure interiors, big commercial units, or very large home renovations. A 40-yard dumpster holds 16 pickup loads and is ideal for entire home demolitions, large construction projects, and jobs where you need to manage all the waste from an entire building in as few hauls as possible.
Pricing: 40-yard pricing is available by phone only due to variation in material type, weight, and location. Call the WRS line for your state for a custom quote.
Local road or site constraints - driveway length, overhead wires, curb access - may limit this size in some neighborhoods. Our team will confirm whether a 40-yard is practical for your specific address before scheduling delivery.
What Can Go in a Demolition Dumpster?
C&D (construction and demolition) dumpsters accept most building materials generated during a tear-out or tear-down, but not all waste types are permitted. Knowing what's allowed before you start loading prevents contamination fees and keeps your project moving.
Common Demolition Debris We Accept
- Drywall, plaster, and lath - demolition debris includes drywall, plaster, and wood from walls and ceilings.
- Lumber, subfloor, trim, and framing members - standard construction materials from interior and structural demo.
- Roofing materials like asphalt shingles and underlayment (within weight limits and local disposal rules).
- Concrete, brick, block, tile, and asphalt - accepted in separated or dedicated "heavy debris" loads where required by the disposal facility.
- Non-hazardous metals from demolition: nails, metal studs, metal lathe, railings, ductwork.
- Fixtures like cabinets, interior doors, and non-upholstered wood furniture pulled during a demo.
Items Not Allowed in Demolition Dumpsters
- Asbestos-containing materials, lead paint abatement waste, and other regulated hazardous substances - these require specialized handling and disposal.
- Liquids including paints, solvents, and oils, plus fuels and pressurized cylinders. Commonly prohibited materials in dumpsters include asbestos, paint, and chemicals.
- Appliances with refrigerants, tires, and electronics - these may require special handling depending on local regulations.
- When in doubt, call us. Confirm specific questionable items with the WRS team before loading to avoid rejection, contamination fees, or extra charges.
How Demolition Dumpster Rental Works with WRS
Renting a demolition dumpster from WRS is a straightforward 3-step process designed to keep your job on schedule. No complicated forms - just a phone call and a delivery date.
Step 1: Call for a Fast, Upfront Quote
Call WRS at the number for your state and share your demolition scope - for example, "We're tearing out a 1950s 1,800-square-foot interior in Lancaster." We'll recommend a dumpster size, confirm the price range, and verify your service area. We'll also discuss driveway or street placement options and let you know if placing a dumpster on public streets may require a municipal permit in your town. Your quote includes delivery, pickup, the rental period, and disposal up to the included tonnage - exact quotes with no surprises.
Step 2: Delivery & Placement on Your Job Site
WRS schedules delivery for a specific day - often next-business-day, subject to availability - and provides a delivery window. Our drivers coordinate with you or your site foreman to place the roll off dumpster where it's easiest to load and safest for vehicles, workers, and your property. Common placements include the driveway, a side yard pad, or a designated construction staging area, depending on clearance and site access.
Step 3: Fill, Call for Pickup & Keep Your Project Moving
Load your demolition waste during the agreed rental period, keeping an eye on height and weight restrictions. Standard rental periods for dumpsters are usually between 5 to 14 days, giving you flexibility to work at your pace. When the dumpster is full, call WRS for pickup - we haul it to an approved disposal or recycling facility to properly dispose of your debris. Extensions, swaps (empty-for-full exchanges), and additional dumpsters are available for longer or larger demolition projects.
Choosing the Right Dumpster for Your Demolition Project
Correct sizing avoids costly overages and mid-job interruptions. Overestimate dumpster needs to avoid running out of space - it's almost always cheaper to rent slightly larger than to order a second haul. Below, we break down guidance by the type of demolition work you're doing.
Interior Gut Jobs & Room-by-Room Demolition
For a single room - bathroom or small bedroom - a 10- to 15-yard container typically handles the load. For an entire floor of a typical home, step up to a 20- or 30-yard. Keep in mind that plaster-and-lath homes produce denser demolition debris than newer drywall construction, which affects both the size and weight you'll need. When in doubt, slightly oversize your order to avoid mid-project downtime.
Concrete, Brick, and Other Heavy Debris Removal
Heavy demolition debris - concrete porches, driveway sections, masonry walls, block foundation walls - often requires smaller containers like 10- or 15-yard dumpsters due to weight limits. Materials like concrete and brick can weigh roughly 4,000 pounds per cubic yard, meaning a 10-yard box might hit its included tonnage when only a quarter full. Separate dumpsters for different materials improve waste management and help control disposal costs at local facilities, where inert loads like clean concrete often carry lower tipping fees than mixed debris.
Full or Partial House and Garage Demolition
A 2,000-square-foot home produces about 100 cubic yards of waste - far more than any single container can handle. Plan for multiple dumpsters: typically several 20- or 30-yard roll off containers, staged across the project with swaps on big demo days. A house's square footage, number of stories, and different materials all determine how many dumpsters are needed. Call WRS with your house size details and we'll build a tailored dumpster plan that accounts for heavy debris, mixed debris, and the pace of your demolition crew.
Demolition Dumpster Costs: What Affects Your Final Price
WRS posts typical price ranges for each dumpster size, but your actual invoice depends on several predictable factors. Demolition dumpster rental rates vary by provider and location, and understanding what drives your cost helps you budget accurately.
Key Pricing Factors for Demolition Dumpsters
- Dumpster size and included tonnage - 10, 15, 20, 30, or 40 cubic yards, each with a specified ton limit (1 ton for 10-yard, up to 3 tons for 30-yard).
- Weight of demolition debris - loading heavy materials like concrete, brick, or roofing shingles tear-offs can push you past the included tonnage quickly, triggering overage fees that typically run $40–$150 per extra ton.
- Service location and distance to disposal facilities within our PA, NJ, and DE coverage areas. In some regions, C&D landfill tipping fees can exceed $127 per ton, while other counties run closer to $40 per ton.
- Rental period length - standard periods are included in the base price, with daily charges for extensions beyond that window.
- Additional services such as extra hauls, empty-for-full swaps, or dedicated containers for separated construction waste like clean concrete or scrap metal.
