Sizes
Dumpster Sizes Available in Grafton
A 15 fits most Grafton home projects. 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.
This is the one that fits almost any driveway in downtown Grafton. It handles a garage purge, a small deck removal or a few squares of shingles.
15-Yard Dumpster
About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup loads.
Popular for basement cleanouts and single-room remodels where a 10 is too tight and a 20 won't fit the driveway.
20-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4.5 ft high; holds roughly six to eight pickup loads.
The most-rented roll-off size across Grand Forks & Northeast. It holds a full kitchen, a two-car garage cleanout or the tear-off from most single-story roofs.
30-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 6 ft high; holds roughly nine to twelve pickup loads.
For whole-house remodels and outbuilding cleanouts in Walsh County, the 30 saves you a mid-job swap.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup loads.
Reserved for the biggest jobs in Grafton: new construction, commercial demo and large cleanouts.
Which size fits common Grafton 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. |
| Old farmhouse remodel | 15-yard | A room-by-room remodel in an older farmhouse fits a 15, with room for plaster and old flooring. |
| 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. |
| 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. |

If you go over the included tonnage, overage charges apply per ton, and we tell you that rate before you book. Need a few extra days? That's a small daily fee.

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
Couches, dressers, tables, rugs, clothing, toys and general junk from garage or basement cleanouts. Fridges and freezers need the refrigerant removed first.
Yard Waste
Storm-downed limbs, brush and shelterbelt trimmings are accepted if cut to lie flat. Elm and cottonwood limbs and old fencing are common.
Prohibited items. What cannot go in: hazardous waste, chemicals, liquid paint, oil, antifreeze, batteries, tires, pressurized tanks, medical waste and asbestos. Dried latex paint cans are usually fine; wet paint is not.
How to keep your Grafton dumpster cost down
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- Load flat and full. Lay large, flat items on the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris. Air pockets cost money.
- 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.
- 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.
Debris from Grafton goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving Walsh County. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.

Roofing debris is dense, so size by weight, not volume. A 10 or 15 handles most single-story roofs.

How it works
How Dumpster Rental Works in Grafton
Choose Your Dumpster Size
Tell us the debris and the space you have, and we'll pick the size on the call.
Schedule Dumpster Delivery
In winter, shovel the drop spot and a path for the truck before delivery day.
Fill the Dumpster
Load heavy debris first and spread it evenly. Don't fill above the top rail, since overfilled containers can't legally travel.
Schedule Dumpster Pickup
Dumpster pickup in Grafton is on your schedule. Call when it's ready.
Weather in Grafton
Spring runoff on the Park River is a concern for low-lying homes. Winters are long and cold.
Dumpster placement
Most Grafton homes fit a 15 or 20. Older lots near downtown may be tighter.
Permits
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Grafton
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Grafton, 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 Grafton. 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
Many North Dakota towns ask that containers stay off snow-emergency routes in winter. If your street is one, keep the box on the driveway.
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 Grafton
Summer and fall are the easiest months in the northern valley, and spring brings a wave of basement and flood-related cleanups. Winter rentals are fine for indoor work, but snow can shift pickups a day. Local conditions in Grafton: cold northern winters, spring runoff on the Park River and wind across the valley.
Winter dumpster rental
Frozen debris doesn't compact, so load carefully in winter and break items down before they go in.
Spring thaw and road limits
Spring thaw softens yards and gravel drives. We keep containers on concrete, asphalt or firm gravel until the ground dries.
