For over a decade, we’ve been the go-to dumpster rental company for homeowners, contractors, and businesses throughout Wilkes-Barre and all of Luzerne County. Since opening our doors in 2011, we’ve built our reputation on three simple promises: fast delivery, transparent pricing, and dumpsters that show up clean and ready to work. Whether you’re tackling a basement cleanout this weekend or managing a multi-phase commercial demolition, we’re here to make waste removal the easiest part of your project.
We know that when you need a dumpster, you usually need it now; not next week. That’s why we offer same-day delivery throughout Wilkes-Barre and can often accommodate last-minute requests across Luzerne County and beyond. Give us a call, and let’s get your project moving.
Very Cheap Junk Removal started in 2011 when two lifelong Wilkes-Barre residents; friends who’d grown up working construction and doing home renovations; realized there was a gap in the local market. Too many dumpster companies were unreliable, overpriced, or treated customers like just another invoice. We wanted to do things differently: offer fair prices, show up when we say we will, and actually help people figure out what they need instead of just upselling them.
What began as a single truck and a handful of dumpsters has grown into a full-service waste management operation serving all of Luzerne County and surrounding areas in Pennsylvania. But even as we’ve expanded our fleet and our team, we’ve stayed true to our roots. We’re still locally owned and operated. We still answer our phones 24/7. And we still treat every customer; whether you’re renting a 10-yard dumpster for a garage cleanout or a 40-yarder for a commercial teardown; like a neighbor, because chances are, you are.
We’re proud to be part of this community. We understand Wilkes-Barre’s neighborhoods, we know the local regulations, and we can help you navigate permit requirements if your project needs one. Our mission is simple: make dumpster rental so easy and affordable that it’s never the hard part of your project.
No two projects are exactly alike, and we get that. That’s why we’ve built our services to be as flexible as you need them to be. Here’s how we help:
Homeowners love working with us because we make the process simple and stress-free. We handle everything from small decluttering projects to major renovations:
Contractors, property managers, and business owners trust us because we’re dependable and we understand deadlines. Our commercial services include:
Choosing the right dumpster size can feel confusing if you’ve never rented one before, but don’t worry; we’ll walk you through it. Here’s a quick breakdown of what we offer:

15 Yard Dumpster Rental – Ideal for medium-sized projects like basement cleanouts, small deck removals, or flooring replacement jobs.

Not sure what size dumpster you need? Just give us a call and describe your project. We’ll ask a few questions and recommend the right fit; no guesswork, no overselling. If we think you can get away with a smaller (cheaper) size, we’ll tell you.
We know your schedule doesn’t always give you a week’s notice. That’s why speed and flexibility are at the core of how we operate.
Need a dumpster this afternoon? Call us before noon, and if we have availability, we’ll get it to you the same day. For most orders placed in Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County, next-day delivery is standard. We also offer emergency dumpster rental for situations like storm damage, water emergencies, or unexpected demolition needs.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all rental windows. You can keep our dumpsters for as long as your project requires:
If you need to keep it longer, just let us know. We’re flexible, and we’ll work with your timeline; not the other way around.
We hate hidden fees, surprise charges, and fine print. So we don’t do any of that.
When you get a quote from us, it includes everything: delivery, pickup, your rental period, disposal fees, and weight allowances. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered, what could cause extra charges (like going over the weight limit or keeping it longer than agreed), and how to avoid them. There are no games, no gotchas; just honest pricing you can count on.
We’re proud to offer some of the most competitive rates in Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County. Whether you’re looking for a cheap dumpster rental for a budget-conscious home project or need the best price on multiple units for a commercial job, we’ll work with you.

Factors that affect pricing include dumpster size, how long you need it, what type of debris you’re tossing, and total weight. We’ll explain all of this upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Here’s something that sets us apart: our dumpsters don’t look like they’ve been through a war zone. We take pride in keeping our equipment clean, well-maintained, and in good working order. You’re not getting a rusted-out bin with last week’s debris still stuck to the sides. You’re getting a professional-grade roll-off container that won’t be an eyesore in your driveway or on your job site.
We also respect your property. Our drivers know how to place dumpsters carefully to avoid damaging driveways, lawns, or pavement. If you have concerns about where it’ll sit, just let us know; we’ll figure it out together.
We’ve streamlined the entire rental process so you spend less time coordinating and more time getting work done. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Choose Your Dumpster Size Call us or use our chat bot to describe your project. We’ll recommend the right size based on what you’re tossing and how much of it you have. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you figure it out.
Step 2: Book Your Dumpster Online or By Phone Once you’ve picked your size and confirmed your delivery date, we’ll lock in your order. You’ll get a clear quote with all costs included, and we’ll answer any questions you have about placement, rental terms, or what you can throw away.
Step 3: Fast Dumpster Delivery We deliver to your driveway, job site, or wherever you need it. Same-day delivery is available for most Wilkes-Barre orders, and next-day delivery is standard across Luzerne County. We’ll place it exactly where you want it.
Step 4: Load at Your Pace Take your time. Fill the dumpster on your schedule; whether that’s over a weekend or across a few weeks. No one’s rushing you. If you need more time, just call and extend your rental.
Step 5: We Handle Pickup & Disposal When you’re done, give us a call or shoot us a message. We’ll come pick it up and haul everything away. We dispose of debris responsibly and recycle materials whenever possible, so you can feel good about where your waste ends up.
We care about more than just hauling junk away; we care about where it goes. That’s why we’ve partnered with local recycling facilities and transfer stations to divert as much material as possible from landfills. Metals, wood, cardboard, and certain construction debris can often be recycled or repurposed, and we make an effort to sort and route materials appropriately.
While not everything can be recycled, we follow all Pennsylvania environmental regulations and ensure responsible disposal of household junk, construction debris, yard waste, and mixed materials. It’s part of being good neighbors and good stewards of the community we serve.
If you’re comparing dumpster rental companies in Wilkes-Barre, here’s why customers keep coming back to us:
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of homeowners, contractors, and businesses across Luzerne County. People tell us they appreciate how easy we make the process, how responsive we are when they call, and how we actually show up on time. One contractor we work with regularly said it best: “I don’t have to babysit my dumpster company anymore. I just call, and it’s handled.” That’s exactly the experience we aim for; every single time.
Pricing varies based on the size of the dumpster, how long you need it, and what type of debris you’re disposing of. Our 10-yard dumpsters start at very affordable rates for short-term residential use, while larger 30- and 40-yard units are priced for commercial and construction projects. All our quotes include delivery, pickup, disposal, and your rental period; no hidden fees. Give us a call for an exact quote based on your specific project.
A 10-yard dumpster works great for small cleanouts like a garage or single-room renovation. A 20-yard is our most popular size; it handles most whole-home cleanouts, roof replacements, and medium remodels. If you’re doing new construction, major demolition, or a large-scale estate cleanout, you’ll likely want a 30- or 40-yard dumpster. Not sure? Call us. We’ll ask a few questions about your project and recommend the best fit.
Yes! If you call us early enough in the day and we have availability, we can often deliver a dumpster to your Wilkes-Barre location the same day. Next-day delivery is standard for most orders across Luzerne County. If it’s an emergency; storm damage, water cleanup, urgent demo work; let us know, and we’ll do everything we can to get you a dumpster fast.
Our standard rental period is typically 7 days, but we’re flexible. Need it for just a weekend? No problem. Need it for three weeks? That’s fine too. We offer short-term, weekly, and long-term rental options. If you need to extend your rental, just give us a call, and we’ll work it out.
You can toss most common household junk, construction debris, furniture, appliances, yard waste, flooring, drywall, shingles, lumber, and general renovation materials. We do not accept hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, tires, batteries, or certain electronics. If you’re unsure whether something is okay to toss, just ask; we’ll give you a straight answer.
It depends on where you’re putting it. If the dumpster is going in your driveway or on private property, you usually don’t need a permit. If you need it on the street or public right-of-way, you may need to get a permit from the city. We can walk you through the process and let you know what’s required based on your specific situation.

| Question or Concern | What You Need to Know |
|---|---|
| How do I select the correct dumpster size? | Think about your project scope. A 10-12 yard works for small cleanouts, 15-20 yard handles most home renovations and roofing, and 30-40 yard is best for construction or demolition. Still unsure? Call us; we'll help you choose based on your debris type and volume. It's always better to go slightly larger than risk needing a second dumpster. |
| What happens if I overload the dumpster? | Every dumpster has a fill line marked on the inside; debris should never exceed this line. Overloading creates safety hazards during transport and may result in additional fees or refusal of pickup. Each size also includes a tonnage limit (listed above). Exceeding the weight limit incurs overage charges, typically $50-$75 per additional ton. We'll always give you a heads-up if you're approaching the limit. |
| What items are prohibited in roll-off dumpsters? | For safety and environmental reasons, we cannot accept: hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, pesticides, asbestos), tires, batteries, propane tanks, motor oil, electronic waste with CRT screens, medical waste, or flammable materials. Most construction debris, household junk, furniture, appliances, yard waste, and general trash are fine. When in doubt, ask us first; we're happy to clarify. |
| Do I need a permit to place a dumpster? | If the dumpster sits on your private property (driveway, yard), no permit is needed. If you need to place it on a public street or sidewalk, you'll likely need a permit from the City of Wilkes-Barre. Permit requirements vary by municipality in Luzerne County. We can guide you through the process and let you know what's required for your specific location. |
| How should I prepare for dumpster placement? | Choose a flat, stable surface with enough clearance for our delivery truck (at least 60 feet of straight-line access and 23 feet of overhead clearance). Make sure the area is free of low-hanging wires, tree branches, or obstacles. To prevent property damage, consider placing plywood under the dumpster if you're concerned about your driveway or pavement. Our drivers are experienced and will do their best to protect your property during delivery and pickup. |
| What are your rental terms and how long can I keep the dumpster? | Our standard rental period is 7 days, which works perfectly for most residential and small commercial projects. Need it longer? We offer flexible scheduling including weekend rentals, 14-day rentals, and monthly options for construction sites. Extensions are easy; just give us a call before your scheduled pickup. All rental terms are clearly explained upfront with transparent pricing; no hidden fees or surprise charges. |
| How quickly can you deliver a dumpster? | We pride ourselves on fast and reliable delivery. When availability allows, we offer same-day delivery throughout Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County. For planned projects, next-day delivery is standard. Need it urgently? Call us early in the day, and we'll do everything possible to get your dumpster delivered quickly. We also schedule pickups promptly when you're finished; typically within 24 hours of your call. |
| What happens to my waste after pickup? | We're committed to eco-friendly disposal practices. After pickup, we transport your debris to licensed facilities where recyclable materials like metal, wood, cardboard, and certain construction debris are sorted and diverted from landfills. We partner with local Pennsylvania recycling centers to minimize environmental impact. Materials that can't be recycled are disposed of responsibly in accordance with state and county regulations. |
