Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Concrete, drywall, plaster and lath, lumber, roofing materials, flooring and renovation debris. Put concrete and rock in a 10-yard on its own.
Household Junk
Furniture, appliances with refrigerants removed, and everything from household, attic, garage and basement cleanouts.
Yard Waste
Branches, leaves, brush and storm-downed limbs.
Prohibited items. Hazardous waste, tires, wet paint, chemicals, batteries, propane tanks and asbestos can't go in a roll-off. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint, so follow lead-safe practices when you renovate.

Dumpster Rental FAQs
How much does a dumpster rental cost in Rhode Island?
Most dumpster rentals in Rhode Island run from about $395 for a 10-yard in Providence, Warwick, Cranston and the metro to $895 or more for a 40-yard in rural towns. Price depends on size, debris weight, rental days and distance. Each city page lists typical ranges for that area.
What size dumpster do I need?
A 10-yard suits heavy debris and tight driveways, a 15 or 20 handles most remodels and cleanouts, and 30- and 40-yard containers are for construction and big volume. Call and describe the project and we'll size it.
How long can I keep a dumpster?
Standard rentals are seven days. You can extend by the day when a project runs long.

What cannot go in a dumpster?
Hazardous waste, chemicals, wet paint, fuel, oil, batteries, tires, propane tanks and asbestos. Rhode Island Resource Recovery's Eco-Depot events take household hazardous waste.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Rhode Island?
Not when the container sits on your own driveway or private property. Placement on a street or sidewalk needs approval from the city or town. Each city page names the local office.
Can a dumpster be placed in my driveway?
Yes. Driveway placement is the most common setup. We lay boards under the rails to protect concrete and asphalt, and we check width, slope and overhead clearance first.
Can I get same-day dumpster delivery?
In Providence, Cranston, Pawtucket, East Providence, Central Falls and Warwick, same-day delivery is often possible when you call early. Other towns usually get next-day delivery or a scheduled date.

A 20-yard dumpster usually runs $475–$595 in the Providence metro and Warwick, with 2 tons, seven days, delivery and pickup included.
Can I fit a dumpster on a narrow city street?
Often a 10-yard fits in a short driveway in Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls or Newport. If there's no room on the property, the city must approve street placement before delivery.
