The 20-yard dumpster is the workhorse of the lineup between the 15-yard ($650) and the 30-yard ($795). It swallows a full kitchen or bathroom gut, a garage cleanout, a mid-size deck tear-down, or a single-layer roof strip on an average Clintonville or Bexley home. The container needs about 60 ft of clear space to set down and a firm surface, a standard driveway in Upper Arlington or Grandview Heights holds it fine, and boards go under the wheels so nothing marks the concrete. On German Village and Victorian Village brick streets where driveways are narrow or shared, the container often sits at the curb; a street placement on a public right-of-way in Columbus may require a city permit, which is worth checking before delivery day.
Sizing comes down to volume against your space. A single-room cleanout or a small bathroom remodel fits a 10-yard at $595; a full-house declutter, a roof tear-off, or a whole-kitchen remodel usually calls for the 20-yard at $695, the trade-off is driveway footprint versus how many trips to the transfer station you avoid. If a job in Dublin or Westerville involves heavy material like concrete, dirt, or shingles, the weight climbs fast, so tell the dispatcher the debris type upfront; the flat $695 already covers the tonnage a typical mixed remodel load carries, which is why there is no surprise weight bill at the end.
Booking runs in plain steps. First, call (380) 248-7216 and give the address, the drop spot, and what you're throwing out. Second, a delivery window gets set, same-day or next-day is common across Hilliard, Worthington, and the rest of Franklin County. Third, the driver places the 20-yard where you point, you load it over the rental window, then a single call brings the pickup. A dumpster rental is not junk removal, the crew drops and hauls the container, but you or your contractor load it, which is exactly why the flat rate stays low.
Rental terms sit at a plain flat price with no daily meter running while the container is on your property for the standard window. The published rates, 10-yard $595, 15-yard $650, 20-yard $695, 30-yard $795, 40-yard $895, are all-in and posted on purpose, so a homeowner in Bexley pays the same $695 a contractor on a Grandview Heights job site pays. Prohibited items across every size include tires, wet paint, appliances with refrigerant, batteries, and hazardous liquids, which keeps the load clean enough for the transfer station to accept without a rejection fee.
