Sizes
Dumpster Sizes Available in Williston
A 20 fits most Williston home projects. Contractors use 30s and 40s. 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 downtown Williston. 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 most-rented roll-off size across Bakken & Western North Dakota. 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 Williams County, the 30 saves you a mid-job swap.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup loads.
The largest roll-off we run, for new construction, commercial demolition and big roof tear-offs. Keep it to light, bulky debris.
Which size fits common Williston projects
| Project | Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen remodel | 15-yard | Cabinets, countertops, drywall and flooring from one kitchen fill most of a 15 without going over weight. |
| Garage cleanout | 15-yard | Shelving, old furniture, boxes and yard tools from a two-car garage 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. |
| Whole-house cleanout | 20-yard | Furniture, boxes and basement storage from a three- or four-bedroom home usually fits a 20. |
| 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
Furniture, appliances (with refrigerants removed), mattresses, boxes and everything from household, garage and basement cleanouts.
Yard Waste
Storm-downed limbs, brush and shelterbelt trimmings are accepted if cut to lie flat. Old fencing, brush and construction scrap 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 Williston dumpster cost down
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Williston goes to permitted landfills and transfer stations serving Williams County. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.

Home Renovation Dumpster Rental
Renovation debris from homes around the newer subdivisions on the north and west sides runs heavy on plaster and tile, so we size by weight as well as volume.

Shingles are heavy. One layer of asphalt shingles on a typical single-story home fits a 10 or 15, and we set the box close to the drip line so the crew can toss straight in.

How it works
How Dumpster Rental Works in Williston
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
Tell us your delivery window and placement. Dumpster drop-off is usually scheduled for the morning.
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
After a blizzard, pickup may slide a day while streets are plowed. We'll keep you posted.
Weather in Williston
Winters are cold and windy, and gumbo clay turns roads slick when wet. Heavy truck traffic on US-2 and US-85 affects delivery timing.
Dumpster placement
Newer subdivisions have room for a 20. Industrial sites need space for a 30 or 40.
Permits
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Williston
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Williston, 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 Williston. 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
Renting? Get your landlord's okay before a container goes on the property, especially on shared driveways.
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 Williston
Summer is the easiest season for rural deliveries in western North Dakota. In winter and during spring thaw, we schedule around road conditions. Local conditions in Williston: cold, windy winters, hot dry summers and gumbo clay roads that turn slick when wet.
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
If your drop spot is lawn or gravel, wait until the frost is out and the ground firms up, usually by mid-May.
