Dumpster Rental in
London, KY
Roll-off dumpsters delivered anywhere in London and the rest of Laurel County. Sizes run 10 to 40 yards, and a 10 yard is $740-$880 for a 10-day rental — real local figures, not a teaser rate.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
Look up the price, make the call, get the container. ZTERS publishes real Kentucky prices, keeps the order to a single conversation, and sets the delivery date on that same call.
A roof tear-off, cleanout, or remodel calls for a different container depending on where in London the job sits, since in-town homes near London Wellness Park differ from the rural properties out toward Fariston and Pine Grove. A renovation or cleanout on the in-town side usually means general household debris and furniture, easy for a smaller container. Properties out in Fariston or Pine Grove are more likely to be a full farm or estate cleanout, or new construction debris from a build near Levi Jackson Wilderness Road Park, and roofing work anywhere in town adds shingles that fill by weight fast.
London runs along Hal Rogers Parkway with older in-town streets branching off North Main Street, and out toward Sublimity City or Macedonia the roads turn to county routes with longer gravel approaches. Check overhead clearance and confirm the ground is firm if you're off the pavement, and give the driver a nearby landmark if your address is out past the edge of town.
Dumpster Sizes in London
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in London, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard is the short container: one room stripped out, a bathroom gut, a small shed. It runs $740 to $880 and sits on a single driveway width.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
The 20 yard runs $860 to $1010: room for a whole floor's recarpeting, a roof tear-off within its weight allowance, or the accumulated half of a basement.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
Nothing bigger goes on a truck. The 40 yard runs $1065 to $1260 and suits light, high-volume debris; loaded with anything dense it hits the road-weight limit half full.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard suits estate cleanouts and downsizing jobs — volume without much weight — and sits in the same driveway slot the smaller container uses.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
A 30 yard takes what a whole house sheds in a remodel — cabinetry, doors, carpet, framing offcuts — for $920 to $1060. Same footprint as the 20; the extra capacity is all height.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in London, KY
For homeowners
Most household jobs are cleanouts and remodels: furniture, boxes, carpet, cabinets, the layers a house builds up over years. That debris is bulky rather than heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard on a London driveway usually covers it, with room left to park beside it.
For contractors
Jobsite loads run heavier than household ones. Shingles, plaster and tile reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty, so crews often run a smaller container and swap it out rather than overload one. Stage it where the truck gets a straight shot in and the swaps stay quick.
The Dumpster Rental Process in London
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in London, KY?
Dumpster rental pricing in London varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in London
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $740 – $880 | $320 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $860 – $1010 | $270 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $920 – $1060 | $235 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1065 – $1260 | $255 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your London address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 880-4714 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in London
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
London dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. London dumpster costs range from $740 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1260 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
It depends where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches London moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
London does not require a permit for a dumpster kept on private property like a driveway or yard. Placement on a street or public right-of-way needs city approval, so call ahead if that's your only option.
Any permit for street placement in London is issued by the city rather than by ZTERS. Tell us your address when you book and we'll flag it if street placement looks like it needs that extra step first.
Almost everything from a renovation or cleanout is accepted. The exceptions come from the disposal facility, not from us: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances with refrigerant still in them.
Heavy masonry, concrete and dirt are allowed but priced by weight, which is worth mentioning at booking instead of discovering at the scale. Unsure about something? Ask before it goes in.
Contractors booking for a jobsite and homeowners clearing out a house both get the same coverage across London, from in-town streets near London Wellness Park to the outlying communities of Fariston, Pine Grove, Macedonia and Sublimity City. Drivers know the mix of paved in-town streets and longer county roads, and we reach as far as Corbin and Barbourville too.
