Sizes
Dumpster Sizes Available in Fort Totten
A 15 fits most Fort Totten household cleanouts. 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 small dumpster for heavy or compact jobs: a bathroom tear-out, a single-room flooring swap, or a load of concrete, dirt or shingles. Dense debris belongs in a 10 because it hits the weight limit before it fills a bigger box.
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 homes near Devils Lake's south shore.
20-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4.5 ft high; holds roughly six to eight pickup loads.
If you're unsure, start here. It handles a large remodel or a whole-house cleanout in the rural roads on the Spirit Lake Reservation without taking over the street.
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.
Contractors on commercial sites around Fort Totten use the 40 for high-volume, lightweight waste like drywall offcuts, packaging and framing scrap.
Which size fits common Fort Totten projects
| Project | Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | 15-yard | Cabinets, countertops, drywall and flooring from one kitchen fill most of a 15 without going over weight. |
| 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. |
| Shelterbelt removal | 20-yard | Dead trees and brush are bulky but light, so a 20 holds a lot without weight trouble. |
| Fence replacement | 20-yard | Wood posts, rails and wire from a few hundred feet of fence fit a 20. Keep concrete footings for a smaller box. |
| Whole-property cleanup | 30-yard | Scrap, old fencing, brush and household junk from a whole farmstead usually fill a 30. |

What goes in
Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Concrete, drywall, lumber, roofing materials, flooring and general renovation debris all go in. Heavy material like concrete and brick needs a 10-yard on its own.
Household Junk
Household junk of every kind, from a single room to a whole house, as long as it isn't hazardous.
Yard Waste
Storm-downed limbs, brush and shelterbelt trimmings are accepted if cut to lie flat. Brush, tree limbs, old docks and fencing are common.
Prohibited items. Prohibited items include hazardous waste, wet paint, chemicals, solvents, fuel, motor oil, car batteries, tires, propane tanks and anything containing asbestos. Benson County and local landfills run household hazardous waste collection options.
How to keep your Fort Totten dumpster cost down
- 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.
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- Pick the right size up front. One correctly sized container is cheaper than a second haul or an overweight charge.
- Call for pickup promptly. When you're done, call right away so extra days don't add up.
- Pull out scrap metal and donations. Clean scrap metal can often be sold, and usable furniture can be donated. Both free up space.
Debris from Fort Totten goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving Benson 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 Fort Totten
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Fort Totten, you usually don't need a permit. If it has to go on a street, boulevard, alley or sidewalk, approval comes from Benson County or tribal authorities, depending on location. 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
HOA and covenant rules are separate from permits. Some subdivisions in Benson County limit how long a container can sit in view or ask you to notify the association first. Check before you book so the rental length fits.
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.
Timing
Winter, Spring Thaw and the Best Time to Rent in Fort Totten
Late spring through fall is the best window for outdoor projects. Winter work happens too, mostly interior remodels and estate cleanouts. Local conditions in Fort Totten: cold winters, wind off Devils Lake and wet springs.
Winter dumpster rental
In Fort Totten, we deliver all winter. Pickups may slide a day after a blizzard while streets and county roads are cleared.
Spring thaw and road limits
During spring thaw, many North Dakota counties and townships post load restrictions on rural roads. If your property is on a restricted road, we may need to wait for the limits to lift or use a smaller container.
