Sizes
Dumpster Sizes Available in Oakes
A 15 fits most Oakes home projects. Farm cleanups need a 30. 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.
Small enough for a tight Oakes driveway, big enough for a bathroom gut or a small roof.
15-Yard Dumpster
About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup loads.
Good for a basement or garage cleanout, a small roof, or a move-out where you're clearing years of furniture in Oakes.
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 irrigated farms around town 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.
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.
Reserved for the biggest jobs in Oakes: new construction, commercial demo and large cleanouts.
Which size fits common Oakes 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. |
| Estate cleanout | 20-yard | Furniture, boxes and decades of storage from a family home usually fit a 20. |
| 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. |
| Granary or shop cleanout | 30-yard | Old lumber, broken parts, tin and stored junk from an outbuilding take up volume fast. |

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
Couches, dressers, tables, rugs, clothing, toys and general junk from garage or basement cleanouts. Fridges and freezers need the refrigerant removed first.
Yard Waste
Branches, leaves, grass and landscaping debris are fine. Shelterbelt trees, old fencing and irrigation-related scrap are common.
Prohibited items. Tires, batteries, paint, chemicals, fuel, oilfield waste and asbestos are not allowed in a standard roll-off.
How to keep your Oakes dumpster cost down
- 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.
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- Pull out scrap metal and donations. Clean scrap metal can often be sold, and usable furniture can be donated. Both free up space.
- Load flat and full. Lay large, flat items on the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris. Air pockets cost money.
Debris from Oakes goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving Dickey 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 Oakes
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Oakes, 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 Oakes. 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. 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 Oakes
Late spring through fall is the best window for outdoor projects. Winter work happens too, mostly interior remodels and estate cleanouts. Local conditions in Oakes: cold winters, warm summers and prairie wind.
Winter dumpster rental
Winter rentals in Oakes work fine with a little prep. Plow or shovel the drop spot and a path for the truck, and keep the container tarped so snow doesn't add weight you pay for at the scale.
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.
