Three steps, one phone call

1

Reserve it

Call (530) 394-3778 or tap any button on this page. Tell us what you're working on and when you need it — we lock in the size and placement while you're still on the phone.

2

We drop off

We place the dumpster exactly where you want it, boards underneath, door facing whichever direction you prefer. You don't need to be there.

3

We pick up

Call or text when you've finished loading. We come get it and haul everything away, typically the next business day.

Six reasons Nevada City relies on us

Your driveway stays protected

Every driver places boards beneath the rails before the dumpster makes contact with your pavement.

A single call handles everything

Give us the project details and your preferred date. We confirm the size and drop location before you hang up.

Same-day for early orders

Call before 1pm and we can typically have a dumpster at your place that same afternoon.

Family-run, not a middleman

You speak directly with the people who own the trucks — not an outsourced office across the country.

Licensed and insured

Fully covered for residential and commercial projects in CA. Certificate available on request.

Correct size from the start

Describe the job and we'll recommend the right container, including when a smaller one is plenty.

What you can load in the dumpster

If you're not sure whether something is allowed, check with us before tossing it in — it prevents a turned-away load.

Allowed

General household junk and furniture
Renovation and demolition debris
Asphalt and composition shingles
Lumber, plywood and molding
Drywall and plaster materials
Carpet, underlayment and flooring
Cabinets and countertop materials
Deck boards and fence panels
Appliances that contain no freon
Boxes, clothing and household items

Automotive and truck tires
Batteries of any type
Refrigerators and AC units containing freon
Asbestos or questionable insulation
Medical or biohazardous waste
Railroad ties and creosote-treated lumber

Note: yard waste, soil, concrete and brick are too heavy to mix with other debris and require a dedicated heavy-load container — Call (530) 394-3778 and we'll bring the right one.

Family-run, not a middleman

Christopher Edwards has spent 12 years hauling debris across the Nevada City area — first driving for someone else, now running their own operation. When you dial (530) 394-3778, you reach the family that owns every container, drives every route and picks up the phone on Saturday mornings.

A lot of dumpster sites are brokers who hand your job off to whoever is available. We are the crew that actually arrives.

Common questions

What materials are allowed in the dumpster?
General household debris, furniture, remodeling waste, roofing, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard waste, dirt and concrete go in a dedicated heavy-debris container.
Does Nevada City require a permit?
Not if the dumpster sits on a private driveway. If it needs to go on a public street, Nevada City requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the right office.
Is same-day delivery available?
In most cases, yes — place your order before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's route. After 1pm you'll be on the first morning run the following day.
Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It handles a kitchen renovation or a full-home cleanout, and it's the container we deliver most often in Nevada City. If your project calls for less, we'll tell you and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
Where exactly will the dumpster go?
Wherever our truck can safely reach — driveway, side yard, or the street if you have a permit. Let us know which way you want the door to face and we'll position it accordingly.
