How the process works

1

Schedule it

Dial (402) 226-8071 or tap any button on this page. Describe the project and your preferred date — we lock in the size and placement while you're still on the call.

2

We drop it off

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

3

We pick it up

Give us a call or text when you're finished. We come grab it and haul everything away, typically the next business day.

Six reasons Lincoln residents choose us

One call handles everything

Describe the project and your timeline. We confirm the container size and drop location before you hang up.

Same-day delivery for morning orders

Place your order before 1pm and we can usually have a dumpster on your driveway that same afternoon.

Correct size on the first try

Describe what you're working on and we'll recommend the right container, even if a smaller one will handle it.

Full week included

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

Fully licensed and insured

Covered for both residential and commercial projects throughout NE. We provide certificates on request.

Owner-operated, not a middleman

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

What you can load in the dumpster

If you're not sure whether something is allowed, check with us before tossing it in — that prevents a rejected haul.

Allowed

General household clutter and furniture
Renovation and demolition debris
Asphalt and composition shingles
Dimensional lumber, plywood and trim boards
Gypsum board and plaster
Carpet, underlayment and floor coverings
Kitchen cabinets and countertop materials
Deck boards and fence panels
Appliances that contain no freon
Cardboard boxes, clothing and toys

Prohibited — never load these

Paints, wood stains and chemical solvents
Used motor oil, gasoline and diesel fuel
Pressurized propane cylinders
Vehicle and truck tires
Any type of battery
Refrigerators and AC units containing freon
Asbestos or questionable insulation material
Medical waste or biohazardous materials
Railroad ties and creosote-treated lumber
Herbicides, pesticides and pool treatment chemicals
Note: yard debris, soil, concrete and brick are too heavy to mix with other waste and require a dedicated heavy-load container — Call (402) 226-8071 and we'll bring the right one.

Our Lincoln depot

2001 N St, Lincoln, NE 68510

Owner-operated, not a middleman

Nora Appleton has spent 9 years hauling waste and debris across Lincoln — starting on another company's truck, now running their own fleet. When you dial (402) 226-8071, you reach the family that owns the containers, drives the routes and picks up the phone on Saturday mornings.

A lot of dumpster websites are just brokers farming your job out to whoever is available. We are the crew that actually shows up.

What Lincoln neighbors have to say

“I called at 9am and there was a 20 yard in my driveway before lunchtime. The driver laid down boards without being asked.”
Dana R. · Garage cleanout
“Sent them a text Thursday evening and the container was picked up Friday afternoon. Simplest part of the entire remodel.”
Sam K. · Whole-home cleanout
“Hired them for a roofing tear-off, then again for a cleanout the following month. Same crew each time, same person answering the phone.”
Angela P. · Roof tear-off

Questions we hear every week

Is same-day dumpster delivery available?
In most cases, yes — call before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's schedule. Orders placed after 1pm go out on the first morning run the following day.
Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It handles kitchen renovations and full-home cleanouts, and it's the container we deliver most often in Lincoln. If your project calls for less, we'll let you know and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
Does Lincoln require a permit for a dumpster?
Not when it sits on a private driveway. If the container needs to go on a public street, the city of Lincoln requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the right office.
Where exactly will you place the dumpster?
Any spot our truck can safely reach — your driveway, a side yard, or the street if you have a permit. Let us know which way you want the door to face and we'll position it accordingly.
How many days can I keep the dumpster?
Seven days come standard with every container size. Need extra time? Just call or text before your scheduled pickup and we'll extend the date.
