A remodel rarely runs to the schedule anyone drew at the start, and the waste it makes does not arrive on schedule either. Roll-off containers take that pile off the property in one collection instead of a dozen trips.
Why a remodel needs the container longer than you think
The work comes in phases. Strip-out first, which is fast and messy, then a quiet stretch while other trades work, then a burst of packaging and cutoffs at the finish.
That pattern is why a container that sits for three weeks usually beats two short rentals. The middle stretch produces almost nothing, and the end produces a lot.
Give us the rough length of the job when you book. It is easier to plan a longer period up front than to extend twice.
What goes in the container
- Old cabinetry, countertops and fittings
- Drywall, lumber and trim
- Flooring, carpet and padding
- Bathroom fixtures and tile
- Packaging from the new materials
A short list is off limits whatever the job. Paint and solvents, motor oil and fuel, chemicals, car batteries, tires and asbestos all have to be handled separately, because where they end up is governed by federal and state rules. The EPA guidance on household hazardous waste sets out which materials count.
Choosing a size
There are three sizes to pick from. A 15 yard measures 16ft by 7.5ft by 48in and includes 1 ton. A 20 yard is the same footprint at 6ft high and includes 2 ton. The 30 yard is 20ft long, 6ft high, and includes 3 ton.
Each size carries a set tonnage and anything above it is charged per ton. That matters because dense debris behaves nothing like bulky debris: shingles, tile, concrete and soil hit the limit while the container still looks half empty.
Getting to us from Glenwood Park
The yard is at 2211 W Division St on the north-west side of the city, 5.6 miles from Glenwood Park and about 12 minutes in normal traffic. Head out on North Cedarbrook Avenue, then East Chestnut Expressway, then West Chestnut Expressway, then turn onto North Kansas Expressway.
The route is here for reference rather than necessity. The container comes to the property and leaves from it, so the only reason to make the drive is if you would rather see one in person first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep it for several weeks?
Yes. Rental periods stretch to the job rather than a fixed slot, and a remodel is the usual reason for a longer one.
What if the job pauses?
Tell us and we work to the new date. A pause is normal on a remodel and it does not need a new booking.
What size for a kitchen and bathroom?
A 20 yard covers both on most homes. Cabinetry and fixtures are bulky rather than heavy, so space runs out before weight does.
Can tile go in?
Yes, but tell us. Tile is dense and it changes how full we ask you to load the container.
