RedArk Dumpster Rentals — Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What fits in a 15-yard dumpster?

Accepted Answer

The 15-yard trailer holds approximately 4-5 pickup truck loads of debris. It's the right size for a single-room cleanout, garage or basement purge, small roofing job (1–2 squares), bathroom remodel, or a yard cleanup. Dimensions are roughly 14' long × 7' wide × 4' high.

Question 2

What fits in a 20-yard dumpster?

Accepted Answer

The 20-yard trailer holds approximately 6-8 pickup truck loads. It handles full home cleanouts, large roofing and siding projects, interior demolition, construction site debris, and commercial property cleanouts. Dimensions are roughly 16' long × 7' wide × 5' high.

Question 3

How much weight is included?

Accepted Answer

The 15-yard trailer includes 2 tons (4,000 lbs) and the 20-yard includes 3 tons (6,000 lbs). Overweight loads are $50/ton over the included weight.

Question 4

Can I put concrete in the dumpster?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we accept concrete — but it's heavy. Concrete loads up weight quickly, so we recommend using the 20-yard trailer and not mixing it with lighter debris.

Question 5

Can I put roofing shingles in it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Roofing shingles are one of the most common materials we haul. Both the 15-yard and 20-yard trailers handle shingle tear-offs.

Question 6

What can't go in the dumpster?

Accepted Answer

We cannot accept hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, solvents, asbestos, tires, batteries, propane tanks, medical waste, or electronics.

Question 7

Do I need a permit?

Accepted Answer

If the trailer is placed in your driveway or on private property, no permit is required. If it needs to sit on a public street or right-of-way, your city or township may require a permit.

Question 8

How long can I keep it?

Accepted Answer

Our standard rental period is 3–5 days, which is enough for most residential and contractor jobs. Extended rentals are available — just let us know your timeline when you book.

Question 9

Do you deliver on Saturdays?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver and pick up Monday through Saturday, 7am–7pm.

Question 10

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Based in Southgate, we serve all 18 Downriver communities plus Dearborn and Dearborn Heights. These are our primary service areas, but not the only locations we serve. Give us a call or text to confirm availability.

Question 11

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on trailer size, rental duration, debris type, and your location. We offer flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees — what we quote is what you pay.
