Residential Dumpster Rental in Lexington, KY

Some projects outgrow the green cart fast. The City's green cart has a 200-pound weight limit, and it can't take bricks, dirt or building material. Once a cleanout or remodel gets past that, a roll-off in the driveway is usually the easier way to go. You load it at your own pace instead of hauling trip after trip in the back of a truck.

Home projects we help with

• Garage, basement and attic cleanouts. Old furniture, boxes, carpet and the stuff that's been sitting there for years. A 10 yard usually fits a garage or a small room.
• Kitchen and bath remodels. Cabinets, drywall, flooring and fixtures. A 20 yard covers a lot of kitchen and flooring work.
• Roof tear-offs. Shingles are heavy, and disposal is charged by weight, so tell us the roof size and how many layers are coming off.
• Moves and estate cleanouts. Clearing a whole house is a bigger job. A 30 yard is the large size for whole-house cleanouts and big remodels.
• Yard and storm cleanup. Limbs, shrubs and fencing. Mention stumps or dirt when you call, since they add weight fast.

Bulky pickup or a dumpster?

If you're on city trash service and only have a couch or a few big items, the City's bulky item pickup may be all you need. A dumpster makes more sense when the pile keeps growing, when you're tearing something out, or when you want it gone on your own schedule.

Will it hurt my driveway?

A loaded roll-off is heavy. If your concrete is new or your asphalt is soft, tell us before delivery so we can talk through where to set it. Point out low wires, tree limbs and anything parked where the truck needs to back in.

What stays out

Fridges, freezers and window AC units hold refrigerant, so they need their own route. Old paint, pool chemicals, propane tanks and car batteries go to the City's household hazardous waste days. Tires stay out of the dumpster too. If you're not sure about something, ask before it goes in.

Residential dumpster FAQ

Do I need a permit?

If the dumpster has to sit on a public street, the City requires a lane blockage permit from Traffic Engineering, and it won't issue one if there's room on your property. That's why we'll usually look at your driveway first. Ask the City what applies to your address before delivery day.

What about my HOA or a historic district?

Check your HOA's rules before delivery day. In Gratz Park, Bell Court, South Hill and the other historic districts, exterior work needs City sign-off first.

How long can I keep it?

Tell us how long your project will run when you call, and we'll set it up around your timeline.
