Three steps, a single phone call

1

Schedule it

Dial (605) 307-9204 or tap any button on this page. Give us the project and your preferred date — we confirm the right size and placement spot while you're still on the phone.

2

We drop it off

We place the dumpster exactly where you need it, boards underneath, door facing the direction you specified. You don't have to be there.

3

We take it away

Send us a call or text once you've finished loading. We come get it and haul everything off, typically the following business day.

Six reasons Watertown trusts us

We guard your pavement

Every driver places boards beneath the rails before the dumpster makes contact with your driveway.

A full week included

Every rental comes with seven days on site, and scheduling pickup is just one text.

Family-run, never a middleman

You speak directly with the people who own the equipment — not a dispatch office in another state.

Licensed and insured

Fully covered for both residential and commercial projects in SD. We provide certificates on request.

Correct size from the start

Describe your project and we'll recommend the size, including when a smaller one is all you need.

A single call handles everything

Share the project and your preferred date. We lock in the size and placement before you hang up.

Hear it from our customers

“The driver walked the placement area with me before anything came off the truck and positioned the door right where I needed it for my wheelbarrow.”
Teresa W. · Deck removal
“They gave me exact instructions on where to shift my vehicles so the truck could back in, and the dumpster landed perfectly on the marks I'd drawn.”
Mike T. · Kitchen remodel
“I sent them a text Thursday evening and the container was picked up by Friday afternoon. Simplest part of our entire renovation.”

Questions we hear every week

What materials are allowed in the dumpster?
General household items, furniture, remodeling debris, shingles, decking, flooring and drywall. Paint, fuel, tires, batteries and freon-containing appliances are not allowed. Yard waste, soil and concrete go in a dedicated heavy-debris container.
Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It handles a kitchen renovation or a full-home clear-out, and it's our most-delivered size in Watertown. If your project calls for less space, we'll tell you and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
Where exactly will the dumpster go?
Any spot our truck can safely reach — your driveway, side yard, or on the street with the right permit. Let us know which direction you want the door to face and we'll position it that way.
How many days can I keep it?
Every size comes with seven days. If you need more time, just call or text before your scheduled pickup and we'll extend it.
Is a permit required in Watertown?
Not when the dumpster sits on a private driveway. If it needs to go on a public street, Watertown requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the exact office to contact.
