Dumpster Sizes Available in Hockessin
A 20-yard roll-off suits most Hockessin remodels. A dump trailer is ideal for yard cleanups. Pick the dump trailer for compact jobs and tight spots around the developments off Lancaster Pike, 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.
Our most-requested option for Hockessin homeowners. The trailer sits on its own tires, so it's gentle on driveways, and it fits spots a roll-off can't, like short driveways, side yards and alley pads.
10-Yard Dumpster
About 12 ft long, 8 ft wide and 3.5 ft high; holds roughly three to four pickup loads.
The small dumpster for heavy or compact jobs: a bathroom tear-out, a single-room flooring swap, or a load of concrete, dirt or shingles. Dense debris belongs in a 10 because it hits the weight limit before it fills a bigger box.
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.
The 20-yard roll-off is the workhorse for whole-house cleanouts and multi-room remodels in Hockessin.
30-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 6 ft high; holds roughly nine to twelve pickup loads.
A construction dumpster for additions, new builds and whole-house gut jobs. Taller walls add capacity without a longer footprint.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup loads.
Reserved for the biggest jobs in Hockessin: new construction, commercial demo and large cleanouts.
Which size fits common Hockessin projects
| Project | Best fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Old farmhouse remodel | 15-yard roll-off | A room-by-room remodel in an older farmhouse fits a 15, with room for plaster and old flooring. |
| Kitchen remodel | 15-yard roll-off | Cabinets, countertops, drywall and flooring from one kitchen fill most of a 15 without going over weight. |
| Fence replacement | 20-yard roll-off | Wood posts, rails and wire from a few hundred feet of fence fit a 20. Keep concrete footings for a smaller box. |
| Whole-property cleanup | 30-yard roll-off | Scrap, old fencing, brush and household junk from a whole rural property usually fill a 30. |

Hockessin is inside our core Wilmington & Northern New Castle County service zone, so there's no distance surcharge. Delivery fee and pickup fee are built into the quote.
Rain in an open container counts as weight at the landfill scale, which is a common surprise overage during Delaware's summer thunderstorms. A tarp prevents it.

Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Concrete, drywall, lumber, roofing materials, flooring and general renovation debris all go in. Heavy material like concrete and brick needs a 10-yard on its own.
Household Junk
Basement storage, water-damaged boxes, old furniture and garage clutter are all fine. Mattresses may carry a small handling fee.
Yard Waste
Clean green waste, cut branches and landscaping debris go in. Storm-downed limbs, brush and old decking are common.
Prohibited items. Keep hazardous waste, liquid paint, fuel, oil, batteries, tires, propane tanks and asbestos out of any trailer or roll-off in Hockessin. The Delaware Solid Waste Authority holds household hazardous waste collection events around the state.
How to keep your Hockessin dumpster cost down
- Pull out scrap metal and donations. Clean scrap metal can often be sold, and usable furniture can be donated. Both free up space.
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- 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.
- Keep rain and snow out. A tarp keeps rain and snow from adding weight you pay for at the scale.
- Call for pickup promptly. When you're done, call right away so extra days don't add up.
Debris from Hockessin goes to the Delaware Solid Waste Authority's Cherry Island Landfill in Wilmington. 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 Hockessin
Choose Your Dumpster Size
Tell us the debris and the space you have, and we'll pick the size on the call.
Schedule Dumpster Delivery
Pick a delivery day. Same-day dumpster rental is often possible in metro areas if you call early, and next-day dumpster delivery is common elsewhere.
Fill the Dumpster
Load heavy items first and keep debris below the rim. Summer storms in New Castle County make a tarp worth it.
Schedule Dumpster Pickup
Dumpster pickup in Hockessin is on your schedule. Call when it's ready.
Weather in Hockessin
Hilly, wooded roads can ice up in winter, and summer storms bring down limbs.
Dumpster placement
Many Hockessin driveways are sloped or curved. We check the grade and overhead branches before we drop.
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Hockessin
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Hockessin, you usually don't need a permit. If it has to go on a street, boulevard, alley or sidewalk, approval comes from DelDOT and New Castle County, since most roads outside city and town limits are state-maintained. 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
HOA and covenant rules are separate from permits. Some subdivisions in New Castle County limit how long a container can sit in view or ask you to notify the association first. Check before you book so the rental length fits.
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. On rural and wooded lots, point out your septic tank, leach field, well and buried lines, and keep the container off soft ground after heavy rain. Short on space near the homes near Valley Road? The dump trailer needs less room than any roll-off.
Storms, Seasons and the Best Time to Rent in Hockessin
Spring and fall are the busiest months in northern New Castle County, when remodels start and landlords turn units over. Winter is steady with interior work, and summer storms keep tarps busy. Local conditions in Hockessin: rolling, wooded terrain, humid summers and occasional winter ice.
Storms and winter weather
We deliver in Hockessin all year. After a big storm, deliveries and pickups may shift a day while plows catch up.
Older homes, coast and summer
Spring rain softens lawns and gravel drives. We keep containers on paved or firm surfaces until the ground dries out.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Hockessin?
Not if it's on your driveway or private property. If it has to go on a street, boulevard, alley or sidewalk, check with DelDOT and New Castle County, since most roads outside city and town limits are state-maintained before delivery. HOA or covenant rules may also apply.
Can a dumpster be placed in my driveway?

Can you deliver to a sloped driveway in Hockessin?
Usually. A dump trailer can be set on gentler slopes with wheel chocks, and we check grade before placing any roll-off.
