Pricing & costs
Dumpster rentals with KC Dumpster Co start at just $325 for a 14 yard container. Our 16 yard dumpster starts at $375, and our largest 20 yard dumpster starts at $425. Every rental includes delivery, pickup, and a generous included weight allowance. We use transparent, flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, the price we quote is the price you pay.
No. We believe in transparent, flat-rate pricing. The price we quote includes delivery, the rental period, pickup, and your included weight allowance. Additional charges would only apply if you exceed your included weight limit, and we always explain those limits clearly upfront before you book.
Each dumpster comes with a generous included weight allowance. Our 14 yard dumpster includes 1.5 tons (3,000 lbs), while our 16 yard and 20 yard dumpsters each include 2 tons (4,000 lbs). If your load exceeds the included weight, overage charges may apply — but we’ll always make you aware of the limits before you book.
Dumpster sizes
We offer three dumpster sizes to cover every type of project:
– 14 yard (14′ x 8′ x 4′) — Perfect for garage cleanouts and small renovations. Includes 1.5 tons. Starting at $325.
– 16 yard (16′ x 8′ x 4′) — Ideal for kitchen and bathroom remodels or roofing projects. Includes 2 tons. Starting at $375.
– 20 yard (20′ x 8′ x 4′) — Best for major renovations and construction projects. Includes 2 tons. Starting at $425.
Not sure which size is right? Give us a call and we’ll recommend the perfect fit based on your project.
For a single bathroom remodel, our 14 yard dumpster is usually sufficient. For a kitchen remodel or combined kitchen-and-bath project, we recommend our 16 yard container. If your renovation involves multiple rooms or significant structural work, our 20 yard dumpster gives you plenty of capacity. When in doubt, call us — we’ll help you pick the right size so you don’t overpay or run out of space.
A roll-off dumpster is an open-top waste container delivered to your location on a specialized truck that “rolls” the dumpster off its back and onto your driveway or job site. They’re the standard choice for temporary waste removal on residential cleanouts, construction sites, and renovation projects. KC Dumpster Co offers 14, 16, and 20 yard roll-off containers to handle projects of all sizes.

Our standard rental period is 1 to 7 days, giving you flexible scheduling to match your project timeline. Whether you need a dumpster for a quick weekend cleanout or a full week for a renovation, we’ve got you covered. Need to keep it longer?
