What you get on one call
- A size recommendation. Tell us what's going in and how much room you have. A 20-yard is the Minot favorite for remodels and cleanouts.

Minot is split between the Souris River valley and the hills above it, and we deliver to both. Valley neighborhoods still see rebuilds tied to the 2011 flood, while north hill and south hill homes keep us busy with remodels and basements.

Sizes
Dumpster Sizes Available in Minot
A 20-yard is the Minot favorite for remodels and 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 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.
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.
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.
Taller walls add capacity without extra length, a good fit for big cleanouts and siding jobs.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup loads.
Ideal for big volume and light weight: warehouse cleanouts, large remodels and site cleanup. Not for concrete or dirt.

| Kitchen remodel | 15-yard | Cabinets, countertops, drywall and flooring from one kitchen fill most of a 15 without going over weight. |

Prices
Dumpster Rental Prices in Minot
Average dumpster rental prices depend on size and weight more than anything else, so we ask what's going in before we quote.
| Size | Typical price | Included tonnage | Rental period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-yard | $345–$445 | 1 ton | 7 days |
| 15-yard | $385–$495 | 1.5 tons | 7 days |
| 20-yard | $425–$545 | 2 tons | 7 days |
| 30-yard | $495–$650 | 3 tons | 7 days |
| 40-yard | $575–$750 | 4 tons | 7 days |
Minot is inside our core Minot & North Central service zone, so there's no distance surcharge. Delivery fee and pickup fee are built into the quote.
The two things that add to your bill are extra weight above the included tonnage and extra days beyond the rental period. We'd rather size you right up front than surprise you later.

What goes in
Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Renovation debris of almost any kind goes in: drywall, lumber, flooring, cabinets, fixtures and roofing. Just keep concrete and dirt in their own small box.
Household Junk
Basement storage, water-damaged boxes, old furniture and garage clutter are all fine. Mattresses may carry a small handling fee.
Yard Waste
Branches, leaves, grass and landscaping debris are fine. Elm, ash 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 Minot 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.
- Pick the right size up front. One correctly sized container is cheaper than a second haul or an overweight charge.
- 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.
- 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 Minot goes to the City of Minot landfill. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.

House, garage and basement cleanouts fill up fast. Break down furniture and load the heaviest items first.

How it works
How Dumpster Rental Works in Minot
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
Choose your drop-off date and tell us where to place it. We bring boards to protect a driveway in the neighborhoods near Minot State University or anywhere else.
Fill the Dumpster
Keep debris level with the top edge and keep prohibited items out. Use the rear door for heavy or bulky items.
Schedule Dumpster Pickup
Call when you're done, or when it's full and you need a swap. We'll haul it away, usually within a day.
Weather in Minot
Minot winters are cold and windy, and hill streets can ice up. The valley's flood history means some properties have flood protection construction nearby.
Dumpster placement
Most Minot homes fit a 15 or 20. Hill driveways can be steep, so we check grade first. Street placement needs approval from the City of Minot.
Permits
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Minot
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Minot, 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 Minot. 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 Minot
May through October books fastest. In winter, we confirm road conditions before trips to rural towns and the Turtle Mountains. Local conditions in Minot: cold, windy winters, hot summers and a Souris River valley that flooded badly in 2011.
Winter dumpster rental
Debris left open in a Minot winter freezes into one block and fills with snow. Tarp it every night, and knock snow off the tarp after a storm.
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.
