Sizes
Dumpster Sizes Available in Ellendale
A 10 or 15 handles student housing turnovers. Farm cleanups need a 30. Every roll-off dumpster size below is measured in cubic yards of debris capacity, and each comes with a set weight allowance.

10-Yard Dumpster
About 12 ft long, 8 ft wide and 3.5 ft high; holds roughly three to four pickup loads.
The pick for dense debris like plaster, concrete or dirt. Weight fills it before volume does.
15-Yard Dumpster
About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup loads.
A step up in capacity without much more length. It fits a kitchen remodel with cabinets and countertops, or a whole-house carpet replacement in the streets near Trinity Bible College.
20-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4.5 ft high; holds roughly six to eight pickup loads.
Holds a full kitchen and bath remodel, or years of basement and garage storage.
30-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 6 ft high; holds roughly nine to twelve pickup loads.
Right for big cleanouts, farm-shop purges and commercial fixture removal. Load bulky items first and break them down to use the space.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup loads.
The largest roll-off we run, for new construction, commercial demolition and big roof tear-offs. Keep it to light, bulky debris.
Which size fits common Ellendale projects
| Project | Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single-story roof tear-off | 15-yard | One layer of shingles on a typical single-story home is heavy, so we size by squares, not volume. |
| Kitchen remodel | 15-yard | Cabinets, countertops, drywall and flooring from one kitchen fill most of a 15 without going over weight. |
| Estate cleanout | 20-yard | Furniture, boxes and decades of storage from a family home usually fit a 20. |
| Whole-property cleanup | 30-yard | Scrap, old fencing, brush and household junk from a whole farmstead usually fill a 30. |
| Granary or shop cleanout | 30-yard | Old lumber, broken parts, tin and stored junk from an outbuilding take up volume fast. |

What goes in
Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Old basement paneling, ceiling tile, carpet and pad, plaster and lath, and roofing shingles are the most common construction loads we haul.
Household Junk
Almost everything from a household cleanout in downtown Ellendale: old furniture, broken appliances, rugs, boxes and whatever has lived in the basement for twenty years.
Yard Waste
Storm-downed limbs, brush and shelterbelt trimmings are accepted if cut to lie flat. Old fencing and shelterbelt trees are common.
Prohibited items. No hazardous waste, farm chemicals, pesticides, fuel, oil, batteries, tires or asbestos. Old houses can hide asbestos in floor tile, siding and pipe wrap, so test before demolition.
How to keep your Ellendale dumpster cost down
- Load flat and full. Lay large, flat items on the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris. Air pockets cost money.
- Keep snow and rain out. A tarp keeps snow and rain from adding weight you pay for at the scale.
- Call for pickup promptly. When you're done, call right away so extra days don't add up.
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- Keep heavy material separate. Concrete, brick, dirt and rock hit the weight limit fast. Put them in their own small container and use a larger one for bulky, light debris.
Debris from Ellendale goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving Dickey County. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.

Permits
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Ellendale
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Ellendale, you usually don't need a permit. If it has to go on a street, boulevard, alley or sidewalk, approval comes from the City of Ellendale. Ask about the fee, how many days it covers and whether cones or reflectors are required, and have it in hand before delivery day.
HOA, covenant and landlord rules
Renting? Get your landlord's okay before a container goes on the property, especially on shared driveways.
What the delivery spot needs
The truck needs a straight approach of about 60 feet, roughly 10 to 12 feet of width and clear overhead space with no low branches, wires or eaves above the drop spot. In winter, the spot and the path to it need to be plowed or shoveled. On farmsteads and rural lots, point out your septic tank, drain field, fuel tanks and buried lines, and keep the container off soft ground during spring thaw.
