Not sure what size roll-off dumpster you need? Here's a straightforward guide to picking the right container for your project in Northern California — without overpaying or running out of room.
Match the Container to the Job
The most important factor isn't the size of your yard or garage — it's the volume of material you're removing. A full kitchen remodel generates a lot more debris than a weekend garage cleanout.
Small Cleanouts
One room, yard trimming, moving boxes, small bathroom remodel. Think one or two pickup truck beds worth of material.
Mid-Size Projects
Full garage cleanout, roofing job, bathroom remodel, deck removal. You'll be surprised how fast a container fills when you throw in drywall, old flooring, or furniture.
Large Renovations
Full home renovation, new build debris, large landscaping overhaul, commercial cleanout. Go bigger than you think — running out of room and needing a second delivery always costs more than upgrading upfront.
What You Can (and Can't) Throw In
Most household junk, construction debris, yard waste, old furniture, appliances, and roofing materials are fine. Hazardous materials are not permitted in roll-off dumpsters.
Redding-Specific Tip: Think About Placement
In Redding and throughout Shasta County, most driveways handle a roll-off dumpster without issue. But if your driveway has a steep slope, a tight entry turn, or a surface you're worried about — stamped concrete, pavers, or a long gravel stretch — mention it when you book.
We've placed dumpsters all over Northern California and know how to position them to protect your property and stay accessible for the full rental period.
How to Tell Us What You Need
When you call Franks & Son, skip trying to guess a size — just describe your project. We'll recommend the right container based on real-world experience, not a generic chart.
- What are you clearing out? (room, deck, roofing, landscaping, etc.)
- Roughly how much square footage or how many rooms?
- Mostly light stuff like furniture and boxes, or heavy material like concrete and dirt?
