Dumpster Rental in
Dickinson, ND
Roll-off rental for Dickinson homes, storefronts and job sites. Pick from 10 to 40 yards — a 10 yard costs $760-$875 and the standard rental runs 10 days, the same process for a one-off cleanout or a repeat contractor.
Mon–Fri 6am–6pm MT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
No quote-chasing: the numbers for North Dakota are on the page. One call books the container, one account manager owns the order until pickup, and the delivery date you set is the one the truck works to.
A 30 yard container is a common pick for the bigger jobs coming out of Dickinson's mix of oilfield-adjacent construction and regular home projects. Homes near Dickinson State University West Campus tend toward standard remodels and cleanouts, while commercial work around the Dakota Community Bank & Trust Ballpark area and out toward Prairie Outpost Park runs to heavier construction debris. What you're clearing, not just the square footage, decides which size actually fits the job.
Dickinson sits on rolling prairie ground with newer subdivisions spreading out from an older downtown core, so lot sizes and driveway setbacks vary a lot block to block. Deliveries near South Main Avenue and 3rd Avenue West usually have a straightforward approach, while streets closer to Rocky Butte Park can run narrower with less room to back up a truck. Homes toward the edge of town, closer to Belfield, tend to sit on bigger lots with more space to work with. Before the truck arrives, check for a level spot at least the length of a car and make sure any low branches or fence gates are clear.
Dumpster Sizes in Dickinson
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Dickinson, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
One stripped room, a shed coming down, the end of a long-postponed cleanout: the 10 yard takes it for $760 to $875 and fits where bigger containers cannot.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
The 20 yard runs $875 to $1085: room for a whole floor's recarpeting, a roof tear-off within its weight allowance, or the accumulated half of a basement.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
Nothing bigger goes on a truck. The 40 yard runs $1055 to $1265 and suits light, high-volume debris; loaded with anything dense it hits the road-weight limit half full.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard adds height without adding length, so it still fits a normal drive. Good for a garage cleanout plus whatever came off the walls with it.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
Estate clearances and gut renovations across several rooms fill a 30 yard, priced $930 to $1072. The walls are tall, so big pieces go over the rail instead of through a door.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Dickinson, ND
For homeowners
A garage or basement cleanout is the most common homeowner job, and it is a volume job: bulky, light, and done over a weekend. Kitchen and bath remodels add cabinets and flooring. Either way the container sits on the Dickinson driveway, and the rear door swings open so heavy pieces roll in instead of going over the wall.
For contractors
Jobsite loads run heavier than household ones. Shingles, plaster and tile reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty, so crews often run a smaller container and swap it out rather than overload one. Stage it where the truck gets a straight shot in and the swaps stay quick.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Dickinson
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Dickinson, ND?
Dumpster rental pricing in Dickinson varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Dickinson
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $760 – $875 | $425 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $875 – $1085 | $455 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $930 – $1072 | $505 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1055 – $1265 | $595 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Dickinson address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 712-3005 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Dickinson
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dickinson dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Dickinson dumpster costs range from $760 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1265 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
You get 10 days from the day it is dropped, which covers nearly every single-project rental with room to spare. Nobody is standing over the clock.
Need longer? Call before the window closes and add days for an additional daily fee. Done early? Call and the pickup moves up, as long as the truck has not already been routed for the day.
Placing a dumpster on your own driveway or private property in Dickinson generally doesn't require a permit, but putting one on a city street or right-of-way does. The city issues that permit rather than a private company, so check with Dickinson's public works office before planning a street placement, especially near busier stretches like ND 22.
Many of Dickinson's residential blocks date back decades, with older curbs and narrow rights-of-way that leave little extra room for a parked container. Wider corridors like 33rd Street Southwest have more space to work with, but a tight older block usually keeps the container on the driveway instead. If there's no driveway room at all, ask about options when you book. The city has final say on any street permit.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Dickinson comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
A permit is only needed for street or right-of-way placement, not for a dumpster kept on your own driveway or lot. When one is required, the application goes through Dickinson's city offices rather than through us, since we're not the ones who approve street use. Give yourself a few extra days if the job is near a busier route like South Main Avenue, since approval times can vary.
