Dumpster Rental FAQ for Des Moines Homeowners

How often should Des Moines homeowners get dumpster rental?
Given Des Moines's extreme temperature range: -20°f winter wind chills to 100°f+ summer days, most homeowners benefit from dumpster rental at least once a year. Post-hail storm roof and siding inspection (May–July) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.

Brick ranch and Cape Cod homes throughout Polk County and Victorian and Craftsman homes in Sherman Hill and Ingersoll Park are the most common home types in Des Moines and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
What size dumpster do I need?
10-yard dumpsters handle small cleanouts and single-room renovations. 20-yard dumpsters work for most home projects and roofing jobs. 30–40 yard containers are for large renovations or demolition.
Can I put a dumpster in my driveway?
Yes. Most customers place dumpsters in their driveway. We use planks or protective boards to minimize any marking. Concrete driveways may show light marks from heavy loads.
