Dumpster Sizes Available in Dover Base Housing
A dump trailer handles most PCS cleanouts. Pick the dump trailer for compact jobs and tight spots around base housing areas, or a roll-off when the volume calls for it.
14-Ft Dump Trailer
A 14-foot hydraulic dump box on a tandem-axle trailer; holds roughly as much as a 10- to 15-yard roll-off.
A 14-foot dump trailer is the fast, tidy choice for garage cleanouts, yard waste and small remodels around base housing areas. When it's full, it hauls away and dumps, so there's no scraping steel rails across your driveway.
10-Yard Dumpster
About 12 ft long, 8 ft wide and 3.5 ft high; holds roughly three to four pickup loads.
A 10-yard is right for tile, brick, dirt or broken concrete in Dover Base Housing, or a quick cleanout where a big box would sit half empty.
15-Yard Dumpster
About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup loads.
Right for a finished-basement tear-out, a carpet-and-pad swap or a mid-sized estate cleanout.
20-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4.5 ft high; holds roughly six to eight pickup loads.
A large dumpster in everyday terms: enough for a multi-room renovation, a big estate cleanout or a large deck demo.
30-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 6 ft high; holds roughly nine to twelve pickup loads.
For additions, siding jobs and gut renovations in Kent County, the 30-yard saves you a mid-project swap.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup loads.
Ideal for big volume and light weight: warehouse cleanouts, large remodels and site cleanup. Not for concrete or dirt.
Which size fits common Dover Base Housing projects
| Project | Best fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom gut | 14-ft dump trailer | Tile, a tub or shower, vanity and drywall from one bath is dense debris that suits a 10. |
| Garage cleanout | 14-ft dump trailer | Shelving, old furniture, boxes and yard tools from a two-car garage fit a 15. |
| Single-story roof tear-off | 15-yard roll-off | One layer of shingles on a typical single-story home is heavy, so we size by squares, not volume. |
| Kitchen remodel | 15-yard roll-off | Cabinets, countertops, drywall and flooring from one kitchen fill most of a 15 without going over weight. |
| Multi-room renovation | 30-yard roll-off | Two or more rooms of drywall, trim, flooring and fixtures call for a 30 so you skip a mid-job swap. |

Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Framing scrap, drywall, trim, doors, windows, flooring, shingles and clean concrete are all accepted. Cut long boards so they lie flat.
Household Junk
Almost everything from a household cleanout in base housing areas: old furniture, broken appliances, rugs, boxes and whatever has lived in the basement for twenty years.
Yard Waste
Branches, shrubs, leaves, sod and landscaping debris are accepted. Old patio furniture, broken toys and yard debris are common.
Prohibited items. Prohibited items include hazardous waste, wet paint, chemicals, solvents, fuel, motor oil, car batteries, tires, propane tanks and anything containing asbestos. Kent County and local landfills run household hazardous waste collection options. The Delaware Solid Waste Authority holds household hazardous waste collection events around the state.
How to keep your Dover Base Housing dumpster cost down
- Keep heavy material separate. Concrete, brick, dirt and rock hit the weight limit fast. Put them in their own small container and use a larger one for bulky, light debris.
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- Pick the right size up front. One correctly sized container is cheaper than a second haul or an overweight charge.
- Pull out scrap metal and donations. Clean scrap metal can often be sold, and usable furniture can be donated. Both free up space.
- Call for pickup promptly. When you're done, call right away so extra days don't add up.
Debris from Dover Base Housing goes to the Delaware Solid Waste Authority's Central Solid Waste Management Center near Sandtown. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.

How Dumpster Rental Works in Dover Base Housing
Choose Your Dumpster Size
Call (302) 209-7338 and tell us what you're throwing out. We'll recommend a size based on the project, not the biggest box on the lot.

Fill the Dumpster
Spread the weight evenly, keep it below the rim and tarp it at night.
Schedule Dumpster Pickup
Call for pickup in Dover Base Housing when it's full or you're finished. Need a swap? Same number.
Weather in Dover Base Housing
Open, flat ground around the base gets strong wind during storms. Tarp the load.
Dumpster placement
On-base delivery depends on base access rules and housing office approval. Off base, homes outside the main gate have room for a dump trailer.
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Dover Base Housing
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Dover Base Housing, you usually don't need a permit. If it has to go on a street, boulevard, alley or sidewalk, approval comes from the installation's housing office (on base) or DelDOT (off base). Ask about the fee, how many days it covers and whether cones or reflectors are required, and have it in hand before delivery day.
HOA and landlord rules
If you rent in Dover Base Housing, get your landlord's okay before a trailer or roll-off goes on the property.
What the delivery spot needs
The truck needs a straight approach of about 60 feet, roughly 10 to 12 feet of width and clear overhead space with no low branches, wires or eaves above the drop spot. In winter, the spot and the path to it need to be plowed or shoveled. Leave room for a car to pass on shared driveways, and keep the container clear of mailbox and garbage-cart access. Short on space near the homes just outside the main gate? The dump trailer needs less room than any roll-off.
Storms, Seasons and the Best Time to Rent in Dover Base Housing
April through November is peak season around Dover. Race weekends and State Fair week bring heavy traffic, so we plan deliveries around them. Local conditions in Dover Base Housing: flat, open ground, humid summers and wet winter storms.
Storms and winter weather
Winter rentals in Dover Base Housing work fine with a little prep. Shovel the drop spot and a path for the truck, keep the container off the street during parking bans, and keep it tarped so snow doesn't add weight you pay for.
Older homes, coast and summer
Hurricane and tropical storm season runs into the fall. If a storm is forecast, call us: we can pull a container early or make sure it's tarped and secured.
