Dumpster Rentals

When to Rent a Dumpster

Renting a dumpster is a simple and convenient way to dispose of large amounts of recyclable debris. Just toss everything in one place, and we’ll haul it away hassle-free.

The most common reason to rent a dumpster is for Construction and Demolition (C&D). Whether your project cleanup is large or small, a dumpster helps manage waste efficiently. It also saves you time by eliminating the need for multiple trips to the landfill.

Businesses and contractors often choose dumpster rental companies that prioritize green recycling—like ours—because we help them achieve higher Lean Construction and LEED certification scores.

Before renting, consider the dumpster size, the type of material you’ll be disposing of, and how long you’ll need it. Dumpsters come in various sizes with different rental periods, typically ranging from 10 to 40 yards with a seven-day minimum. Inert materials are best suited for 10 yard dumpsters, while 25 yard and 40 yard dumpsters are ideal for non-inert materials.

Also, check local regulations—some Los Angeles cities require a permit to place a dumpster on the street. At Metropolis Disposal, we take care of the necessary permits, so you don’t have to.

Recycling Dumpster Debris

Recycling is essential for reducing landfill waste and protecting the environment. At Metropolis Disposal, we proudly recycle over 75% of the debris we haul away, ensuring that materials are repurposed instead of wasted.

We separate inert debris—such as concrete, dirt, and bricks—from non-inert materials like drywall and shingles to maximize recycling efficiency. By choosing responsible disposal methods, we help our customers minimize their environmental impact while keeping cleanup easy and efficient.
