PRODUCT & SIZE
A Micro Dumpster Is A Residential Dumpster System Designed Specifically Around Home Projects.

It is delivered using a pickup-and-trailer system rather than a traditional commercial roll-off truck.
It Holds About Seven Cubic Yards, Or Approximately Three Pickup Loads.
Approximate dimensions:
10' L × 4'6" W × 5' H
The 7-Yard Size Was Built Around Common Residential Projects.
Typical uses include:
- Whole-home cleanouts
- Garage and basement cleanouts
- Moving
- Downsizing
- Furniture
- Household junk
- Stored belongings
- Light residential remodeling
RENTAL & PRICING
The Standard 2-Day Rental Is $280 Total Throughout The Core Service Area.

Yes — An Extra Day Is +$30 When Availability Allows.
Because every dumpster is part of the active rental schedule, Extra Days must be added at the time of booking and are subject to availability.
An Extra Load Gives You A Second Dumpster Load During The Same 2-Day Rental.
Your Extra Load is 10% off your full delivered 2-Day Rental price.
Have your first load ready by 7:00 AM on Day 2. We empty and return the dumpster so you can continue loading that day.
Your regular Day 3 pickup remains in place.
Extra Loads are subject to availability and must be confirmed in advance.
Live Load Is A Prepared One-Visit Loading Option Using The Same 7-Yard Micro Dumpster.
It is especially useful when your cleanout is already finished, and everything is staged and ready to move.
We bring the dumpster, remain approximately 45 minutes while you load, then haul it away during the same visit.
Live Load uses the same delivered price as the Standard 2-Day Rental for your Service ZIP.
Have Everything Close By, Organized And Ready To Load Before We Arrive.
Material should generally be staged within about 20 feet of the approved loading area.
Bag, box, bundle or contain loose material when appropriate, and neatly stack larger pieces so they can be moved directly into the dumpster.
Loose, scattered, tangled, or unsorted debris piles are not considered prepared for Live Load.
Have your loading help ready when we arrive.
No. Live Load Uses The Same Delivered Price As The Standard 2-Day Rental For Your Service ZIP.
In the core service area, both options are $280 total.
Yes. Micro Dumpster Serves Selected Chicago ZIP Codes.
Chicago has its own Standard 2-Day Rental placement requirements, Live Load option, and ZIP-based pricing.
Chicago Standard Rental and Live Load pricing start at $310 total.
Your ZIP Determines Service Eligibility And Delivered Pricing.
Core Service Area pricing is $280 Total.
Some additional ZIPs also qualify for $280.
Other eligible ZIPs receive a different flat delivered total.
You do not need to calculate mileage.
RENTAL TIMELINE & PICKUP
You Receive Two Loading Days Across Three Calendar Days.
Day 1 — AM delivery and loading after delivery.
Day 2 — Load throughout the day.
Day 3 — Ready by 7:00 AM for scheduled pickup.
No — It Means Your Dumpster Must Be Ready For The Pickup Route By 7:00 AM.
Loading should be complete and clear access available.
Pickup may occur later in the day.
Use Ready For Pickup.
When routing allows, Micro Dumpster may be able to remove the dumpster before the regularly scheduled pickup.
Your scheduled pickup remains guaranteed.
Usually Not Once Placement And Access Have Been Confirmed.
Delivery and pickup can generally occur without you being present.
We'll text approximately 15–20 minutes before arrival.
PLACEMENT
Micro Dumpster Is Designed For Residential Private Property.
Depending on access, approved placement may include:
- Driveways
- Inside many garages
- Parking pads
- Suitable private property reached from an alley
No street placement.
The Dumpster Fits Inside Many Residential Garages, But Every Property Is Different.
Actual placement depends on:
- Door opening
- Vertical clearance
- Interior space
- Approach
- Maneuvering room
Garage placement is confirmed before delivery.
Chicago garage placement has additional garage and alley requirements.
Micro Dumpster Does Not Provide Street-Placement Rentals.
The service is designed around approved private-property placement.
That avoids the street-placement model used by traditional commercial roll-off services.
MATERIALS
Typical Accepted Material Includes Household Junk And Approved Light Residential Remodeling Debris.
Examples include:
- Furniture
- Boxes
- Stored belongings
