Faqs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 10 yard dumpster big enough for a bathroom remodel?
Yes, for most standard bathrooms in Lake Charles homes. A complete bathroom gut including tile from the floor and walls, the vanity, toilet, tub or shower, drywall, backer board, and plumbing hardware fills a 10 yard container to roughly 60 to 70 percent capacity. That leaves comfortable room for the additional debris that surfaces when old tile comes off walls in homes with previous renovation layers. The one exception is an exceptionally large master bathroom or a bathroom with very heavy tile across a large surface area. For those situations, tell us your tile square footage at booking and we will confirm whether the 10 yard handles the weight.
Can I place a 10 yard dumpster on my grass?
It depends on the soil condition at the time of delivery. Lake Charles sits on clay-heavy soil that drains slowly and stays saturated after rain events. A 10 yard container loaded with debris exerts significant downward pressure on any surface it sits on. On dry, firm ground, grass placement is generally manageable for a short rental period with boards placed under the container wheels to distribute the weight. On saturated Louisiana clay after a rain event, grass placement risks sinking, rutting, and surface damage that takes time to recover. We recommend driveway placement whenever possible. If grass is your only option, tell us at booking and we will discuss the best approach for your specific property.
How long can I keep the 10 yard dumpster?
Standard rentals for the 10 yard container run 7 days. Most contained projects, a bathroom remodel, a shed demolition, an attic cleanout, complete well within that window. If your project runs longer, extensions are available at a daily rate communicated at booking. The 10 yard’s lowest daily extension rate in our fleet makes it the most cost-effective option to extend when a project runs slightly longer than planned.
Does the 10 yard have a rear door for loading?
Most of our 10 yard containers include a rear swing door for walk-in loading. This is particularly useful when you are loading large or awkward items that are difficult to lift over the 3.5-foot sidewalls. Confirm at booking whether the specific container assigned to your delivery includes a rear door, as unit configurations can vary depending on availability.
Where does the debris go after pickup?
After pickup, your debris is transported to licensed disposal facilities serving Calcasieu Parish under Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality oversight. The McManus Landfill at 4128 LA-3059 in Lake Charles is one of the primary receiving facilities for debris collected from our pickups in this service area. Clean metal, wood waste, and other recoverable materials are separated and redirected to appropriate processors where facility operations allow. All disposal is fully documented and compliant with state environmental regulations. You bear no responsibility for disposal compliance once the container leaves your property.
