Which size fits common Grand Forks AFB projects
| Project | Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Finished-basement tear-out | 15-yard | Carpet, pad, paneling, drywall and ceiling tile from a typical basement fit a 15. |

| 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. |

| Multi-room renovation | 30-yard | Two or more rooms of drywall, trim, flooring and fixtures call for a 30 so you skip a mid-job swap. |

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
Basement storage, water-damaged boxes, old furniture and garage clutter are all fine. Mattresses may carry a small handling fee.

How to keep your Grand Forks AFB dumpster cost down
- Pick the right size up front. One correctly sized container is cheaper than a second haul or an overweight charge.
- 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.
- 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 Grand Forks AFB goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks AFB
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Grand Forks AFB, you usually don't need a permit. If it has to go on a street, boulevard, alley or sidewalk, approval comes from the installation's housing office (on base) or Grand Forks County (off base). 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 Grand Forks 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. Leave room for a car to pass on shared driveways, and keep the container clear of mailbox and garbage-cart access.
