Pick a container size
Size is about volume, but weight usually decides the job. Heavy material like concrete, dirt and shingles goes in the smallest can, while bulky-but-light debris suits the big ones.
Dimensions and capacities are approximate. Confirm the actual container, weight allowance and rental days with the hauler.
Full dimensions and weight notes are on the size comparison page.

Common dumpster rental questions
How much does it cost to rent a dumpster in Kansas City?
The quote depends on your container size, debris, rental days, weight and delivery address. Call for a free quote based on your project, and confirm what is included before you book.
How long is a standard rental?
The rental period is set by the hauler. Public offers in this market often state a window of about a week, but terms vary. Ask about extra days and the rate before booking.
Will a dumpster damage my driveway?
Haulers may place wood boards under the rails or wheels to spread the load. Ask what protection they use and mention soft asphalt, pavers, a steep slope or a new concrete pour before scheduling.
How much space does delivery need?
As a planning example, a truck may need roughly 60 feet of straight clearance, 10 to 12 feet of width and about 23 feet of overhead clearance. The actual requirement depends on the hauler and truck, so confirm it before delivery.
Do I need a permit?
A private driveway often avoids city right-of-way permitting, but HOA and local rules can still apply. A container in a public street or other right-of-way may need approval; confirm with the city and hauler.
