What You Can & Can’t Put in a Dumpster
Knowing what’s accepted before you start loading saves time and avoids problems at the transfer station. Here’s what goes in each container type:
- Standard (15-Yard, 20-Yard and 30-Yard) Roll-Off Dumpsters: Lumber, drywall, flooring, roofing shingles, carpet, tile, cabinetry, countertops, siding, insulation, furniture, mattresses, household junk, appliances without freon, yard debris, fencing, and general construction or renovation waste.
- Heavy-Duty (12-Yard) Dumpsters: Concrete, asphalt, dirt, rock, and broken hardscape materials only. Cannot be mixed with general debris.
We can’t accept paint, chemicals, solvents, motor oil, pesticides, batteries, propane tanks, tires, electronics, or freon-containing appliances (refrigerators, freezers, window AC units) in any of our containers. These materials require separate disposal through certified channels. If you’re unsure about a specific item, call before loading and we’ll give you a straight answer. You can also review our full accepted materials guidelines.
How Pricing Works
We get asked about pricing more than almost anything else, so here’s how we handle it.
When you call for an estimate, we ask about your project and recommend a container size. The price we quote covers four things: delivery to your property, a standard rental period, pickup and haul-away, and dump fees up to the included weight limit for your container (2,000 lbs for a 15-yard, 4,000 lbs for a 20-yard, and 6,000 lbs for a 30-yard). Standard rental periods are 5 days for residential dumpsters and 7 days for commercial dumpsters (excluding Sundays), though we can work with you on a pickup date that fits your timeline.
If your load goes over the included weight, there’s a $60 per ton overage charge, disclosed before you commit. Extensions are available at $50 per day, also disclosed upfront. No delivery surcharges, no environmental fees, no administrative charges, and no surprise invoices. We price honestly because our values demand it and because it’s the only way to build the kind of long-term relationships that sustain a local business.
Why Nampa Customers Choose Rock Solid Dumpsters
Local by every definition. We’re invested in Canyon County because it’s where we live and work. When you call us, you’re reaching people who know the community and care about the job.
Built on 45+ years of hands-on work. Our roots are in excavation, demolition, and trucking. We’ve been on job sites, we know what goes wrong, and we know what contractors need. That’s a different kind of operational depth than a dispatch-only roll-off service can offer.
Modern, well-maintained equipment. We run late-model trucks and containers kept in working order. Safety and reliability aren’t talking points. They’re built into how we operate every day.
Guided by our values. Our Christian values aren’t something we mention once and forget. They’re why we price honestly, communicate directly, follow through on commitments, and treat every customer with genuine respect.
Licensed, insured, and accountable. Every rental is fully covered. If something comes up, you have a local team standing behind the work.
Common Questions
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental in Nampa Cost?
It depends on the container size. We provide free estimates and walk you through everything that’s included so you know exactly what you’re paying: delivery, rental period, pickup, and dump fees up to the included weight limit. No ballpark numbers with asterisks.
Can I Get Same-Day Dumpster Delivery in Nampa?
We can accommodate same-day deliveries when possible. Give us a call and we’ll figure out what works with your schedule.
How Long Can I Keep the Dumpster?
Standard rental periods are 5 days for residential dumpsters and 7 days for commercial dumpsters (excluding Sundays). Extensions are available at $50 per day.
What’s the Most Common Dumpster Size Rented in Nampa?
The 20-yard is our most-rented container by a wide margin. It covers the majority of residential remodels, roofing jobs, and cleanouts without being oversized or overpriced for the work.
Can I Put Yard Waste in the Dumpster?
Yes. Tree branches, shrubs, sod, small amounts of dirt, and general yard debris are all accepted in our standard containers. Large quantities of dirt or rock need to go in the 12-yard heavy-duty container instead.
Do I Need a Permit to Place a Dumpster on a Nampa Street?
Yes. If the container will sit on a public street or within the right-of-way, the City of Nampa requires a permit for that placement. Driveway and private property placement doesn’t require one. We can help you think through placement options when you call.
Do You Serve Contractors Working on Multiple Job Sites?
Yes. We work with contractors who need containers at multiple locations throughout Nampa and Canyon County, coordinating delivery and pickup across sites so you have what you need, where you need it.
What If I Have a Question About a Specific Item?
Call us and ask. We’ll give you a direct answer about whether it can go in the dumpster or how to dispose of it properly. It’s always better to check upfront than deal with a problem at the transfer station.
Do You Offer Anything Besides Dumpster Rentals?
Yes. We also provide flatbed transport and material delivery for rock, gravel, soil, and more throughout Canyon County and Ada County. If your project needs materials in as well as debris out, we can handle both.
