Residential Dumpster Rental in Orlando and Central Florida

Easy, homeowner-friendly roll-off rental with walk-in barn doors. Locally owned, serving Orlando, Mt Dora, and the Lake, Orange, Seminole, and West Volusia area.

What size dumpster do I need for a home renovation?

For most home renovation projects in Orlando, a kitchen remodel runs 15 to 20 yards depending on the kitchen, and most standard kitchens can be done with a 15-yard. A 15-yard also covers a full bathroom gut or a garage cleanout. Multi-room gut renovations typically need a 30-yard. The right size depends on the number of rooms, the type of debris (light junk vs heavy tile or drywall), and how many days you need the container.

Residential dumpster rental is built for the homeowner, not the contractor. You are clearing a garage, gutting a kitchen, downsizing before a move, or hauling years of accumulated stuff to the curb. Yankee Dumpster makes that simple: one flat rate, a container dropped where you need it, and pickup when you call. The standout difference for home projects is the walk-in barn door: you wheel old furniture, boxes, and heavy debris straight in at ground level instead of hoisting everything over a high sidewall.

Which size fits your home project?

Match the container to the volume and the weight of what you are throwing out. Heavy debris like tile fills the weight limit before it fills the visual space, so call if you are unsure.

FAQs

Residential dumpster rental questions

What size dumpster do I need for a home renovation?

A kitchen remodel runs 15 to 20 yards depending on the kitchen, and most standard kitchens can be done with a 15-yard, which handles cabinets, countertops, flooring, and drywall. A 15-yard also works for a full bathroom gut or a junk removal job. If you are gutting multiple rooms at once, step up to a 30-yard. Call Yankee Dumpster with your project description and we will recommend the right size.

Can I rent a dumpster for moving?

Yes. Many homeowners rent a dumpster when moving to clear out years of accumulated items they do not want to take to the new home. A 15-yard or 20-yard is typically enough for a moving cleanout, depending on how much you are clearing. Having the dumpster on-site for several days lets you sort and load at your own pace, which is more convenient than a one-day junk removal appointment.

What can I throw in a residential dumpster?

Most household items are accepted: furniture, flooring, drywall, lumber, boxes, clothing, and yard waste. Appliances and electronics cannot go in (they need special landfills), and we cannot take dirt or concrete. Items that cannot go in any dumpster include hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, motor oil), tires, batteries, and electronics in some cases. For the full list of accepted and prohibited items in Florida, see our what can go in a dumpster guide.

How long can I keep a residential dumpster?

Every rental includes 7 days, which covers most residential projects. Extensions are $25 per day if your project runs longer; just call before your rental period ends to arrange one. Yankee’s goal is to keep you on schedule, not to rush you out. Call (352) 738-6748 with any questions.

How do I use a dumpster for a kitchen remodel?

Have the dumpster delivered the morning demo begins. Load as you gut: cabinets first, then countertops, then flooring and underlayment, then drywall. With Yankee’s walk-in barn doors you load from the front rather than throwing over the side, which makes loading kitchen debris faster and safer. When the dumpster is full or the job is done, call and we pick it up.
