Sizes
Dumpster Sizes Available in Lincoln
A 15 handles most Lincoln basement finishes and deck tear-outs. 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 the residential streets in town. It handles a garage purge, a small deck removal or a few squares of shingles.

About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup loads.
Right for a finished-basement tear-out, a carpet-and-pad swap or a mid-sized estate cleanout.
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 Bismarck-Mandan & Missouri River. 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 Burleigh County, the 30 saves you a mid-job swap.

What goes in
Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Remodels in Lincoln fill containers with drywall, lumber, old cabinets, tile, flooring, shingles and siding. Separate concrete and masonry if you have a lot of it.
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. Sod, young-tree trimmings, landscape rock and old fencing are common. Keep rock separate, because it's heavy.
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 Lincoln 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.
- Keep snow and rain out. A tarp keeps snow and rain from adding weight you pay for at the scale.
- Pull out scrap metal and donations. Clean scrap metal can often be sold, and usable furniture can be donated. Both free up space.
- Pick the right size up front. One correctly sized container is cheaper than a second haul or an overweight charge.
- 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 Lincoln goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving Burleigh County. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.

How it works
How Dumpster Rental Works in Lincoln
Choose Your Dumpster Size
Describe the project and debris and we'll match you to a 10, 15, 20, 30 or 40-yard container.
Schedule Dumpster Delivery
Choose your drop-off date and tell us where to place it. We bring boards to protect a driveway in the newer homes on the edges of town or anywhere else.

Load flat items on the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris so you use every yard.

Permits
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Lincoln
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Lincoln, 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 Lincoln. 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
Even when no permit is needed, an HOA, landlord or covenant may have its own rules on containers. Check for time limits and approved locations, then share them with us.
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.
Timing
Winter, Spring Thaw and the Best Time to Rent in Lincoln
Spring and summer are busiest around Bismarck-Mandan, and summer hail storms bring waves of roofing jobs. Winter rentals work for interior remodels if the box stays tarped. Local conditions in Lincoln: cold, windy winters and hot summers.
Winter dumpster rental
Snow in an uncovered container can add hundreds of pounds. A tarp is the cheapest way to avoid an overage in winter.
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.
