845 Dump 'N Haul · Dumpster Rental · Junk Removal · Material Delivery

Straight answers to the questions we hear most about dumpster rental, junk removal, and material delivery in Dutchess County. Don't see yours? Call (845) 600-0501 — we're happy to help.

What size dumpster do I need?

Most residential and contractor jobs fit our 20-yard container — cleanouts, roofing, remodels, and demo. For smaller jobs like a single room, a garage purge, or a tight spot, the 10-yard is the better fit. If you're unsure, call us and describe the project; we'll size it right in about two minutes.

How long is the rental period?

A standard rental includes a set number of days, and most people finish comfortably within that window. Need more time? Extensions are easy — just give us a call and we'll work it out.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Dutchess County?

On private property, like your own driveway, you typically don't need a permit. If the container has to sit on a public street, your town may require one. We can point you in the right direction for your specific town.

What can I throw in the dumpster?

Household junk, furniture, appliances, construction and renovation debris, roofing shingles, and yard waste are all fine. A few items can't go in a roll-off — things like hazardous waste, tires, batteries, asbestos, and Freon appliances. When in doubt, just ask before pickup day.

Do you offer same-day delivery?

Same-day delivery is available on most units, especially close to our Fishkill home base. Call early and we'll do our best to get it to you before you need it.

How much does it cost?

Cost depends on the size, the weight of the debris, the rental period, and the type of material. We quote flat-rate with no hidden weight fees. Tell us about your job and we'll give you an honest number, and you can see exactly what affects the price on our cost page.

Do you protect my driveway?

Yes — every container we set down goes on wood planks to protect your driveway and surfaces. It's standard on every drop, not an upcharge.

What's the difference between dumpster rental and junk removal?

With a dumpster, you fill it yourself on your own schedule — ideal for renovations and ongoing projects. With junk removal, our crew does the labor: we show up, load everything, and haul it away in one visit. Many customers use both.

Do you deliver materials too?

We do. Along with dumpsters and junk removal, we deliver gravel, stone, topsoil, mulch, fill dirt, and sand throughout the county — so the same crew can haul debris out and bring material in.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Dutchess County and the wider Hudson Valley, including Poughkeepsie, Fishkill, Beacon, Wappingers Falls, Hyde Park, Rhinebeck, Pleasant Valley, LaGrangeville, Pawling, Hopewell Junction, plus Cold Spring and Newburgh nearby.
