Halfway through a kitchen gut or a roof tear-off, the debris starts winning. Cabinets, countertops, subfloor, and old shingles pile up faster than anyone plans for, and once the driveway is buried, the whole job slows to a crawl while you figure out where to put it all. Trash It Dumpsters LLC prevents that with a 20-yard dumpster rental sized for real renovation work throughout Hickory, NC, and the surrounding areas. It's the container most of our customers end up wanting, because medium-sized projects almost never stay medium-sized.
Trash It Dumpsters LLC is a locally owned and operated company headquartered in Hickory, NC, serving Catawba County and the towns within a 50-mile radius. We specialize in short-term roll-off containers for home renovations, roofing work, cleanouts, and light construction. Our 20-yard container measures 15 feet long by 8 feet wide by 5 feet tall, rents for $440 for a seven-day window, and includes 2 tons of disposal. Most deliveries land within 24 hours of your call.
Renovations have a way of producing debris in waves. The demo phase alone can fill a small container before a single new fixture goes in, and then the packaging, offcuts, and scrap from the rebuild show up right behind it.
What causes the pinch is that people size their container to the room they're working on rather than the total project. A kitchen looks like a small space until the cabinets come off the wall and the flooring comes up, at which point you are dealing with bulky, awkward material that doesn't stack neatly. Roofing does the same thing in reverse: the pile stays low, but the weight climbs fast.
Here's how we handle it. Tell us what the project involves and roughly how long you expect to be at it, and we'll bring out a 20-yard container, usually the next day. Five feet of wall height means you can pitch material over the side without a ramp, and the seven-day window gives you room to work through demo and cleanup without racing a clock.
The payoff is a jobsite that stays walkable from start to finish. Debris goes in as it comes out of the house, the driveway stays clear enough to park and unload, and you finish without a mid-project scramble to find somewhere to put the last third of the mess.
Here's everything worth knowing about the container we send out more than any other.
Kitchen renovations, basement cleanouts, deck removal, and full-floor flooring jobs all land squarely in this size range. We like it for remodels because the extra foot of height over our smallest container accommodates cabinetry, countertops, and framing lumber without anyone needing to break down materials first. Medium and large home cleanouts fit comfortably too, especially when furniture is involved.
Shingles are welcome in our containers, and this size handles most residential tear-offs on a single-family home. Weight is the thing to watch rather than volume, since asphalt is dense enough to reach the 2-ton mark while the box still looks half empty. Smaller construction projects, framing scrap, and general jobsite debris all ride along fine.
We rent this container for $440 for 7 days, with 2 tons included. After the first week, the rate is $10 per day, and material over the weight allowance is billed at 5 cents per pound. How far out you are and what you're throwing away can move the number a little, so we always recommend a quick call for a firm quote.
Each container is 15 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 5 feet tall and holds roughly eight pickup truck loads. Most two-car driveways handle one without trouble, though we ask for around 60 feet of straight approach so our driver can back in and set it down level. Overhead clearance matters as much as ground space, so take a look at branches and power lines before we arrive.
Furniture, carpet, drywall, cabinetry, lumber, decking, shingles, and general remodeling debris all go in without any special handling. Yard waste and household junk are fine as well, which makes this size useful for cleanouts that mix a little of everything. Anything unusual is worth mentioning when you call, so we can sort it out ahead of delivery.
Landfill rules and equipment limits keep a short list of items out of our containers: tires, brick, block, concrete, oil, wet paint, hazardous materials, and large appliances. Nobody expects customers to memorize that, so just ask us if something has you unsure. Our drivers would rather answer the question up front than leave material behind on pickup day.
Our standard window is seven days, and we get most containers out within 24 hours of the phone call. A Saturday evening request will usually mean a Monday delivery, which is worth planning around if your weekend is tight. Boards go under the container to protect the concrete and asphalt, and we come back for them at the end of the week, so you don't need to be home.
Our smallest container is ideal for garage cleanouts, bathroom demos, and other tight-scope jobs. Twenty yards is where medium renovations and full-house cleanouts belong, which cover the majority of what people call us about. Larger construction work, major gut jobs, and multiroom renovations tend to need our 25-yard container instead.
Renting a container shouldn't require a week of phone tag, so we keep the process down to one call and a delivery window. Three container sizes cover everything from a bathroom demo to a full construction site, and our dumpster rentals all run on a straightforward seven-day period, with rates posted right here.
Not every cleanup deserves a week-long commitment, which is exactly why dump trailer rentals exist. Twelve-foot, 14-foot, and 20-foot options go out by the day, making them handy for yard work, a quick load of scrap, or anything that wraps up in an afternoon. Availability stays good since we keep seven trailers in rotation.
Household projects tend to produce more debris than anyone budgets for, and hauling it yourself eats up the whole weekend. Homeowners lean on our residential dumpster rentals for remodels, spring cleaning, attic clear-outs, and everything in between. Give us a rough idea of the job, and we'll point you toward a size that fits without overspending.
Emptying a storefront, clearing a rental before new tenants move in, or getting a flip ready for photos all have deadlines. Commercial dumpster rentals from our fleet are available for one-time cleanouts, though recurring weekly trash service is outside our scope. Fast turnaround matters on this kind of work, so most drops happen the next day.
Framing scrap, drywall cuts, packaging, and demo waste pile up quickly once a build gets rolling. Builders around Hickory use our new construction dumpster rentals to keep sites clean and crews moving, with weight allowances ranging from 1.5 to 3 tons, depending on the container. Scheduling flexes around your timeline, including repeat drops as the project progresses.
Brandon came out of the roofing and guttering trade, so the frustration of waiting on a container is familiar territory around here. Our contractor dumpster rentals are for roofers, carpenters, and exterior remodelers who need to remove shingles and scrap without a fight. Rental lengths can be adjusted to match how long you actually need the box, and rates are quoted up front so you can build waste into your bid.
Smaller projects rarely need a construction-sized container, and that's where our 15-yard dumpster rentals fit best. At 14 feet long by 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall, the box tucks into a standard driveway and runs $325 for seven days with 1.5 tons included. Garage cleanouts, bathroom demos, and flooring jobs are its bread and butter.
Big jobs need a box that won't tap out halfway through the week. Our 25-yard dumpster rental, measuring 16 feet long by 8 feet wide by 6 feet tall, costs $550 for 7 days and includes up to 3 tons of waste. Contractors, whole-house gut jobs, and estate cleanouts are what this one was built for.
Hickory has hauling options, so here's what keeps our phone ringing.
Our rates hold up against anyone in the area, allowing contractors and homeowners to budget for a job without padding it for waste removal.
Running this business out of Hickory since 2024 means our reputation travels by word of mouth, which keeps us accountable for every single delivery.
Jobs within 20 miles of Hickory get charged the quoted rate and nothing else, since tacking on mileage fees after the fact strikes us as a lousy way to do business.
Every rate, extension charge, and overage cost sits in plain view on this website, so the invoice we hand you matches what you already read.
Absolutely, shingles are fine in our containers, and this size handles most residential tear-offs on a single-family home. The thing to watch is weight rather than space, since asphalt gets heavy quickly and can hit the 2-ton allowance while the box still looks half empty. Mention your roof's square footage when you call, and we'll tell you whether one container will cover it.
Seven days come standard with every rental, which is enough time for most demo and cleanup work. If your project runs long, keeping it past the first week costs $10 per day, and there's no penalty for calling us to extend once you are already underway. We would rather you take an extra couple of days than rush the job.
Twenty cubic yards work out to roughly eight pickup truck loads. That covers a kitchen renovation, a basement cleanout, a deck teardown, or a full-floor flooring job without much trouble. At 15 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 5 feet tall, the walls are low enough that you can pitch material over the side instead of hauling it up a ramp.
Two tons are included in the $425 rental, and anything past that is billed at 5 cents per pound. Household junk, furniture, drywall, and cabinetry rarely come close to the limit, so most people never think about it. Dense material is a different story, and things like shingles, plaster, wet lumber, or soil can get there faster than you would expect.
Our smaller container fits garage cleanouts, bathroom demos, and other tight-scope projects just fine. Once you're into a full kitchen, a roof, a basement, or a whole-house cleanout, the 20 is the safer call. When a job feels like it sits right between the two, going bigger usually costs less than paying overage fees on the smaller box.
