Dumpster Rental in
Merrifield, VA
Roll-off rental for Merrifield homes, storefronts and job sites. Pick from 10 to 40 yards — a 10 yard costs $685-$835 and the standard rental runs 10 days, the same process for a one-off cleanout or a repeat contractor.
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.
The Mosaic District is the dense part of Merrifield — apartments and townhouses built over the old commercial blocks. Most of the work here is interior: kitchen and bath renovations, flooring, and restaurant build-outs, so the debris runs to drywall, tile, and cabinets rather than heavy masonry. Around it, Dunn Loring Woods and Pine Ridge hold the older single-family stock, where a remodel starts with plaster walls, aged carpet, and roof layers that come off in heavier loads. A 10-yard fits an apartment gut; a 20 or 30 fits the houses.
Dunn Loring Woods keeps a distinctly suburban feel, with tree-lined streets and full driveways just off Gallows Road. A delivery there is an ordinary driveway drop, and the two things that decide whether it goes smoothly are overhead and approach: the truck tilts its bed high to set the container down, so a low oak limb or a service line over the drive stops a drop that looks fine from the front walk. In the Mosaic District, by contrast, the container often lands in a surface lot or a managed loading zone, and the fight is space. Before the truck arrives, walk the route in from the street and look up — and if the spot is a lot or a garage there, clear the cars.
Dumpster Sizes in Merrifield
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Merrifield, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
One stripped room, a shed coming down, the end of a long-postponed cleanout: the 10 yard takes it for $685 to $835 and fits where bigger containers cannot.
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.
A 20 yard holds a kitchen down to the studs and the bathroom that went with it, at $770 to $905. If the debris is mostly shingles or tile, weight decides before space does — say so when you order.
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.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $975 to $1125, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
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.
Cleanouts that outgrow a 10 usually land here. The 15 yard adds a third more space without a longer footprint, so a normal driveway still takes it.
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.
A 30 yard takes what a whole house sheds in a remodel — cabinetry, doors, carpet, framing offcuts — for $810 to $935. Same footprint as the 20; the extra capacity is all height.
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 Merrifield, VA
For homeowners
A household cleanout fills a container with awkward shapes rather than heavy ones: a sleeper sofa, bagged clothing, the contents of a garage that has been closing on itself for a decade. Bathroom and kitchen remodels add cabinets and torn-out flooring. A 10 or a 20 yard usually sits on a Merrifield driveway without blocking the garage door.
For contractors
A jobsite container earns its keep on turnaround. One account manager handles the drops and swaps, the size tracks what the phase produces, and the staging spot needs a straight approach so a loaded truck is not threading parked equipment. Heavy phases go in smaller containers loaded level.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Merrifield
- 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 Merrifield, VA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Merrifield 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 Merrifield
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $685 – $835 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $770 – $905 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $810 – $935 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $975 – $1125 | — | 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 Merrifield 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 (833) 974-8378 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 Merrifield
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
Merrifield dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Merrifield dumpster costs range from $685 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1125 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 restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances that still hold refrigerant.
Everything else from a normal renovation or cleanout is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt are accepted but priced by weight, so mention them when you book rather than at pickup. If you are unsure about an item, ask before it goes over the rail — it is a shorter conversation than an unloading fee.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
Yes, a dumpster can sit on a residential street in Merrifield with the common limits: no blocking driveways, hydrants, or intersections, and enough room left for traffic. On the main roads — US 50, Leesburg Pike, and Little River Turnpike — street placement is not realistic, and the truck cannot line up safely in moving traffic anyway. The practical rule for a street spot is to keep the space in front of the container clear; a parked car there is the most common reason a pickup runs late.
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 Merrifield 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.
Merrifield Park sits in the residential part of Fairfax County, and the county's rule holds for the whole area: a dumpster on private property, on a driveway or a pad, does not require a permit. What triggers a permit is the right-of-way. If the container will sit in the street or along a state route such as Leesburg Pike, the application goes to Fairfax County for local streets and to VDOT for state roads.
Merrifield runs from the established residential streets of Dunn Loring Woods and Pine Ridge up to the denser blocks of the Mosaic District, and ZTERS delivers across all of it. A driver's day moves from house-to-house drops with ordinary driveways to apartment and townhouse jobs at Mosaic at Merrifield, where the container often sits in a surface lot and the delivery is arranged with property management. The neighborhood parks — Merrifield Park, George C Yeonas Park, and Penny Lane Park — mark the quieter corners, and the same coverage extends to Vienna and Tysons.
