  • How Do I Know Which Dumpster Size I Need?

    The right dumpster size depends on the type and amount of debris. Small cleanouts and minor projects usually fit in a 10-yard dumpster. Remodeling, roofing, and medium cleanouts often work best with a 20-yard option. Larger cleanouts and demolition debris typically require a 30-yard dumpster. Our team helps you choose before delivery to avoid overfilling or wasted space.

  • How Long Can I Keep the Dumpster?

    Each dumpster rental includes a seven-day rental period. This provides enough time for most cleanups without feeling rushed. If your project needs more time, extended rental options are available. Any additional time is explained clearly before changes are made, so there are no surprises.

  • Where Can the Dumpster Be Placed?

    Dumpsters are usually placed in driveways or designated work areas. The placement should allow safe loading and clear access for pickup. If street placement is needed, local guidelines may apply. We review placement details in advance to help avoid delivery issues.

  • What Items Are Not Allowed in the Dumpster?

    Most household junk, construction debris, renovation materials, and yard waste are accepted. Some materials require special handling due to disposal rules. These items are reviewed before delivery so customers can plan properly and avoid problems during pickup.

  • What Types of Cleanouts Do You Handle?

    We handle garage cleanouts, estate cleanouts, bulk item removal, and property clearing projects. Cleanout services help remove unwanted items efficiently and restore usable space for homeowners and property managers.

  • Do I Need a Dumpster for a Cleanout?

    Many cleanouts benefit from having a dumpster on-site, especially when dealing with large volumes of debris. Dumpsters keep materials contained and organized during the process. For smaller cleanouts, hauling services may be enough. We help determine the best option based on your situation.

  • How Long Does a Cleanout Usually Take?

    Cleanout timelines vary depending on property size and debris volume. Some cleanouts are completed in a single day, while others take longer. Proper planning and the right dumpster size help keep the process efficient and organized.

  • What Types of Demolition Projects Do You Offer?

    Dirt Roll Offs provides residential and commercial demolition services. This includes interior tear-outs, small structure removal, and demolition support for renovation projects. Each project is planned carefully to support safety and efficiency.

  • Is Debris Removal Included With Demolition Services?

    Yes. Debris handling is included as part of our demolition process. Materials are removed as work progresses to keep sites clean and organized. This helps reduce safety risks and prevents clutter from slowing the project.

  • Is Demolition Safe for Nearby Structures?

    Controlled demolition methods are used to help protect surrounding areas. Each project is planned with care to reduce impact and maintain safety. Proper debris management also plays a key role in keeping sites secure.

  • How Far in Advance Should I Schedule Services?

    Scheduling ahead helps secure preferred delivery and service dates. Some projects can be scheduled quickly depending on availability. Calling early provides the best flexibility and planning options.

  • What Happens If My Project Takes Longer Than Expected?

    If timelines change, we discuss available options clearly. Extended rental time or adjusted pickup dates are explained in advance so customers can continue working without stress or confusion.

  • Do You Serve Residential and Commercial Customers?

    Yes. Dirt Roll Offs works with homeowners, contractors, businesses, and property managers throughout Wallkill, NY. Our services adapt to projects of different sizes and scopes.
