Dumpster Rental in
Kilmarnock, VA
Four container sizes cover most jobs in Kilmarnock: 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards. The 10 yard runs $689-$805 for 10 days; the bigger sizes take full remodels and tear-offs.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
The price for every size is printed on this page, the order happens in one phone call, and the container arrives on the date you set. That is the arrangement, whether it is a weekend cleanout or a job site on its third container.
What kind of job is filling your driveway right now? Homes near Rappahannock General Hospital and around Baylor Park tend to sit on smaller in-town lots with modest remodels, while properties out toward Norris Pond carry more land and heavier yard debris. A kitchen or bath remodel with drywall and cabinets usually fits a 10 or 20 yard. A full house cleanout or a small addition runs heavier and often calls for a 30. Match the size to what's actually coming off the property, not just the room count.
Kilmarnock sits on a small grid of in-town streets ringed by wooded lots, with narrower lanes as you move away from North Main Street. A delivery truck needs a straight, clear shot to set the container, so a driveway with a tight turn off Church Street can slow things down. Some homes near Duntons Millpond sit back from the road on gravel drives, which the driver needs to know about in advance. If you're closer to Gloucester Courthouse, routing simply takes a little longer. Before the truck arrives, walk your driveway and clear anything low-hanging or parked in the way so the crew can place the dumpster without a second trip.

- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
A 10 yard holds about three pickup-truck loads. That covers a closet-by-closet cleanout, a deck teardown, or the tile and mortar from one bathroom. $689 to $805.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Most kitchen-plus-bath remodels land in the 20 yard, $765 to $875. It takes the cabinets, counters, subfloor and trim in one go, with the footprint of a delivery truck.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
Commercial jobs and full demolitions book the 40 yard, $955 to $1090. If the approach bends or slopes, ask about running two smaller containers instead.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard suits estate cleanouts and downsizing jobs — volume without much weight — and sits in the same driveway slot the smaller container uses.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
Estate clearances and gut renovations across several rooms fill a 30 yard, priced $810 to $920. The walls are tall, so big pieces go over the rail instead of through a door.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Kilmarnock, VA
For homeowners
A garage or basement cleanout is the most common homeowner job, and it is a volume job: bulky, light, and done over a weekend. Kitchen and bath remodels add cabinets and flooring. Either way the container sits on the Kilmarnock driveway, and the rear door swings open so heavy pieces roll in instead of going over the wall.
For contractors
Jobsite debris runs heavier. Shingles, plaster, tile and the mortar bed under it reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half full. Crews on longer builds often run a smaller size and swap it more than once rather than push one load past its allowance, and they stage it where the truck can make a straight approach.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Kilmarnock
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Kilmarnock, VA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Kilmarnock varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Kilmarnock
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $689 – $805 | $350 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $765 – $875 | $555 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $810 – $920 | $535 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $955 – $1090 | $635 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Kilmarnock address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (877) 559-5759 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Kilmarnock
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kilmarnock dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Kilmarnock dumpster costs range from $689 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1090 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
The landfill sets the rules, and the short version is: nothing hazardous. Paint, solvents and other liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances still holding refrigerant all stay out.
Ordinary demolition and cleanout debris is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt can go in, but they are billed by weight, so flag them when you book. When in doubt about an item, ask first; it beats paying to have it pulled back out.
The standard window is 10 days, counted from delivery. Most renovations and cleanouts finish well inside it.
The period is not rigid in either direction. A job that runs long can be extended by phone for an additional daily fee, and a container that fills up fast can be collected early if the pickup schedule has room. Either way, one call settles it.
It depends where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches Kilmarnock moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
If you're in the middle of a remodel or a driveway is blocked by parked cars, curb placement is sometimes the only option. In Kilmarnock that depends on the street: quieter residential lanes like Rappahannock Drive can usually accommodate a container along the curb for a short stay, while narrower stretches near East Church Street don't leave enough room without blocking traffic. Placement on any town-maintained street needs sign-off ahead of time, and a permit for street use is separate from any driveway placement.
Kilmarnock's older homes near Rappahannock General Hospital sit on the same footing as newer builds across town: a dumpster staying entirely on private property, such as a driveway, typically doesn't need a permit. Placement on a public street or right-of-way does. Lancaster County handles those permits, so check with the county office if the container needs to sit at the curb for any length of time.
Measure the job by its debris, not its square footage. One bathroom or a single room of flooring is a 10. A full kitchen, cabinets and counters included, fills a 20. Whole-floor gut jobs and big cleanouts run to a 30.
The larger sizes share the same footprint and only grow taller, so a bigger container does not need a bigger driveway. The exception is heavy material: shingles, tile, concrete or dirt hit the weight limit long before the container looks full, so mention them when you call and let the tonnage set the size.
