Storm cleanup

What dumpster do I need after storm damage?

Sort the damage by material first. Branches, roofing, siding and wet drywall each have different weights and rules, so call and describe what is down.

Sort it first

Most storm jobs are several jobs. Each has its own page.

Branches, brush and sod: yard waste dumpster rental.
Shingles and roof parts: roofing dumpster rental.
Wet drywall, carpet and contents: restoration dumpster rental.
Fence, siding, a shed or a broken patio: size by the pile, below.

Size by the pile

Concrete, brick and dirt go in the 6 yard only. Wet material weighs more. Budget Dumpster says absorbent materials become heavier when wet.

Box	Size	Weight limit	Pickup loads
12 yard	12' x 7' x 4'	3 tons	3 to 4
16 yard	14' x 7' x 5'	4 tons	About 5
20 yard	18' x 8' x 4.5'	4 tons	6 to 7

We deliver in bad weather

We run year round, including winter. A customer wrote about a delivery during a tornado:

David went above and beyond and dropped off our box in the middle of a tornado when we were hunkering down in the basement. Jbuggie, Google review.

Weather and road conditions can change any schedule. Call and we tell you the plan for your address.

Tips

Keep the pile dry if you can. Rain adds weight to wet material.
Stack long branches and boards in one direction.
Place the box where the carry from the damage is short.
If the first box fills, call for a second.

Questions people ask

What size dumpster do I need after a storm?

It depends on the material. A pile of fence and siding is often a 12 or 16 yard. Call with a list and we choose.

Can you deliver the same day after a storm?

We offer same-day delivery. Call 630-850-0770 on a weekday morning.

Where do branches and trees go?

Call before you load brush. We confirm what the box can take. See our yard waste page.

Do you work in winter and bad weather?

We run year round, including winter.

Can I put wet drywall and carpet in?

Yes in general, but wet loads are heavy. Tell us how much so we check the weight limit.
