Sizes
Dumpster Sizes Available in Thompson
A 15 handles most Thompson basement and garage projects. Shop cleanouts need a 20. 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.
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 everyday workhorse for Thompson remodels, cleanouts and roofs, without the bulk of a 30.
30-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 6 ft high; holds roughly nine to twelve pickup loads.
Builders and remodelers in Thompson use the 30 for framing waste, siding replacement and multi-room demolition.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup loads.
Maximum debris capacity for light, bulky waste. Needs a long, straight approach for delivery.
Which size fits common Thompson 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. |
| Shelterbelt removal | 20-yard | Dead trees and brush are bulky but light, so a 20 holds a lot without weight trouble. |
| Estate cleanout | 20-yard | Furniture, boxes and decades of storage from a family home usually fit a 20. |
| 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
Remodels in Thompson 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
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, shrubs, leaves, sod and landscaping debris are accepted. Shelterbelt limbs, old deck boards and broken fencing are common.
Prohibited items. No hazardous waste, farm chemicals, pesticides, fuel, oil, batteries, tires or asbestos. Old houses can hide asbestos in floor tile, siding and pipe wrap, so test before demolition.
How to keep your Thompson 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.
- Call for pickup promptly. When you're done, call right away so extra days don't add up.
- 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.
Debris from Thompson 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.

How it works
How Dumpster Rental Works in Thompson
Choose Your Dumpster Size
Call and describe the job. We'll recommend the right dumpster size for Thompson.
Schedule Dumpster Delivery
In winter, shovel the drop spot and a path for the truck before delivery day.
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
Dumpster pickup in Thompson is on your schedule. Call when it's ready.
Weather in Thompson
Flat land south of Grand Forks gives winter wind a clear run, and snow drifts across driveways overnight. Clear a path for the truck before delivery day.
Dumpster placement
Most homes fit a 15 or 20 in the driveway.
Permits
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Thompson
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Thompson, 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 Thompson. 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 Thompson
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 Thompson: flat-prairie wind, cold winters and spring thaw.
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 load limits on county roads can affect rural drops in March and April. Call early and we'll plan around them.
