Six reasons Charlottesville counts on us

Same-day if you call early enough

Place your order before 1pm and there's usually a container sitting in your driveway that same afternoon.

Correct size on the first trip

Describe the job and we'll recommend the size, including when something smaller is all you need.

Full week included as standard

Every rental comes with seven days on your property, and scheduling pickup takes one text.

Your driveway stays undamaged

Our drivers place boards beneath the rails before any container makes contact with your pavement.

Licensed and insured

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

Family-run, never a middleman

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

What you can put in the container

If you're not certain about a particular item, check with us before loading it — that avoids a refused haul.

Allowed

General household clutter and furniture
Renovation and demolition debris
Asphalt and composition shingles
Dimensional lumber, plywood and trim boards
Sheetrock and plaster
Carpet, underlayment and floor coverings
Kitchen cabinets and countertop material
Deck boards and fence panels
Appliances that contain no freon
Cartons, clothing and kids' items

Refrigerators and AC units containing freon
Asbestos or potentially contaminated insulation
Medical waste or biohazardous material
Railroad ties and creosote-treated lumber
Herbicides, pesticides and swimming pool chemicals
Note: yard debris, soil, concrete and masonry are too heavy to mix with other waste and require a dedicated heavy-load container — Call (434) 622-1715 and we'll bring the right one.

Questions people ask us every week

Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It covers a kitchen renovation or a full-home cleanout, and it's the container we drop off most often in Charlottesville. If your project calls for less, we'll let you know and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
Where exactly will the container go?
Anywhere our truck can safely access — your driveway, a side yard, or on the street with the right permit. Let us know which way you want the door to face and we'll position it accordingly.
Is a permit required in Charlottesville?
Not when the container sits on private property. If it needs to go on a public road, Charlottesville requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the exact office to contact.
Is same-day delivery possible?
In most cases, yes — call before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's route. After 1pm you'll be on the first run the following morning.
How many days can I keep the container?
Every size comes with seven days on your property. Need extra time? Reach out by call or text before your scheduled pickup and we'll extend it.
