Dumpster Sizes Available in Greenville
A 15 fits most Greenville projects. Every roll-off dumpster size below is measured in cubic yards of debris capacity, and each comes with a set weight allowance.

10-Yard Dumpster
About 12 ft long, 8 ft wide and 3.5 ft high; holds roughly three to four pickup loads.
Small enough for a tight Greenville driveway, big enough for a bathroom gut or a small roof.
15-Yard Dumpster
About 16 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high; holds roughly five to six pickup loads.
A step up in capacity without much more length. It fits a kitchen remodel with cabinets and countertops, or a whole-house carpet replacement in the homes around Waterman Lake.
20-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4.5 ft high; holds roughly six to eight pickup loads.
A large dumpster in everyday terms: enough for a multi-room renovation, a big estate cleanout or a large deck demo.
30-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 6 ft high; holds roughly nine to twelve pickup loads.
For whole-house remodels and outbuilding cleanouts in Providence County, the 30 saves you a mid-job swap.
40-Yard Dumpster
About 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 8 ft high; holds roughly twelve to sixteen pickup loads.
Maximum debris capacity for light, bulky waste. Needs a long, straight approach for delivery.
Which size fits common Greenville projects
| Project | Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single-story roof tear-off | 15-yard | One layer of shingles on a typical single-story home is heavy, so we size by squares, not volume. |
| Old farmhouse remodel | 15-yard | A room-by-room remodel in an older farmhouse fits a 15, with room for plaster and old flooring. |
| Estate cleanout | 20-yard | Furniture, boxes and decades of storage from a family home usually fit a 20. |
| Barn or shed cleanout | 20-yard | Old lumber, broken tools, rusted tin and stored junk from an outbuilding take up volume fast. |
| Storm tree cleanup | 20-yard | Downed limbs and brush are bulky but light, so a 20 holds a lot without weight trouble. |
Dumpster Rental Prices in Greenville
Dumpster rental cost comes down to three things: the size you need, how heavy your debris is and how many days you keep it. We price all three up front on the phone.
| Size | Typical price | Included tonnage | Rental period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10-yard | $425–$525 | 1 ton | 7 days |
| 15-yard | $465–$585 | 1.5 tons | 7 days |
| 20-yard | $505–$635 | 2 tons | 7 days |
| 30-yard | $585–$745 | 3 tons | 7 days |
| 40-yard | $665–$845 | 4 tons | 7 days |
Greenville is in our regional service zone, so the quote includes a modest delivery fee for the extra drive. Pickup and disposal up to the included tonnage are built in.
If you go over the included tonnage, overage charges apply per ton, and we tell you that rate before you book. Need a few extra days? That's a small daily fee.
Sample Greenville quotes
Barn or shed cleanout in the village center on Putnam Pike
20-yard, 2 tons included, typically $505–$635
Old lumber, broken tools, rusted tin and stored junk from an outbuilding take up volume fast.
Whole-property cleanup in the homes around Waterman Lake
30-yard, 3 tons included, typically $585–$745
Scrap, old fencing, brush and household junk from a whole rural property usually fill a 30.
Fence replacement in the neighborhoods off Route 116
20-yard, 2 tons included, typically $505–$635
Wood posts, rails and wire from a few hundred feet of fence fit a 20. Keep concrete footings for a smaller box.
Types of Waste You Can Put in a Dumpster
Construction Debris
Concrete, drywall, lumber, roofing materials, flooring and general renovation debris all go in. Heavy material like concrete and brick needs a 10-yard on its own.
Household Junk
Almost everything from a household cleanout in the village center on Putnam Pike: old furniture, broken appliances, rugs, boxes and whatever has lived in the basement for twenty years.
Yard Waste
Yard waste is fine, though many Rhode Island towns run their own leaf and yard-waste collection that may be cheaper for leaves alone. Storm limbs, brush and old fencing are common.
Prohibited items. Prohibited items include hazardous waste, wet paint, chemicals, solvents, fuel, motor oil, car batteries, tires, propane tanks and anything containing asbestos. Providence County and local landfills run household hazardous waste collection options. Rhode Island Resource Recovery runs Eco-Depot collection events for household hazardous waste.
How to keep your Greenville dumpster cost down
- Keep heavy material separate. Concrete, brick, dirt and rock hit the weight limit fast. Put them in their own small container and use a larger one for bulky, light debris.
- Call for pickup promptly. When you're done, call right away so extra days don't add up.
- Break things down. Take apart furniture, cut long boards and flatten boxes. A broken-down couch takes a third of the space.
- Pull out scrap metal and donations. Clean scrap metal can often be sold, and usable furniture can be donated. Both free up space.
- Load flat and full. Lay large, flat items on the bottom and fill gaps with smaller debris. Air pockets cost money.
Nearly all trash in Rhode Island, including roll-off debris from Greenville, ends up at the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation's Central Landfill in Johnston. Disposal costs are built into your price up to the included tonnage, which is why weight matters more than volume.

How Dumpster Rental Works in Greenville
Choose Your Dumpster Size
Describe the project and debris and we'll match you to a 10, 15, 20, 30 or 40-yard container.
Schedule Dumpster Delivery
Pick a delivery day. Same-day dumpster rental is often possible in metro areas if you call early, and next-day dumpster delivery is common elsewhere.
Fill the Dumpster
Spread the weight evenly, keep it below the rim and tarp it at night.
Schedule Dumpster Pickup
Call when you're done, or when it's full and you need a swap. We'll haul it away, usually within a day.
Weather in Greenville
Greenville gets more snow than the coast, and wooded lots drop limbs in storms.
Dumpster placement
Most homes fit a 15 or 20. Lake lots may be narrow or sloped, and rural lots may have septic systems to avoid.
Dumpster Permits and Placement Rules in Greenville
Street placement permits
If the container sits on your driveway or other private property in Greenville, you usually don't need a permit. If it has to go on a street, boulevard, alley or sidewalk, approval comes from the Town of Smithfield. Ask about the fee, how many days it covers and whether cones or reflectors are required, and have it in hand before delivery day.
HOA, condo and landlord rules
Many Rhode Island cities enforce winter parking bans during snowstorms. If your street has one, keep the container on the driveway, not the street.
What the delivery spot needs
The truck needs a straight approach of about 60 feet, roughly 10 to 12 feet of width and clear overhead space with no low branches, wires or eaves above the drop spot. In winter, the spot and the path to it need to be plowed or shoveled. On rural and wooded lots, point out your septic tank, leach field, well and buried lines, and keep the container off soft ground after heavy rain.
Storms, Seasons and the Best Time to Rent in Greenville
Northern Rhode Island gets more snow than the coast, so outdoor projects bunch up from April through November. Winter is busy with basement and interior remodels in the mill-village homes. Local conditions in Greenville: snowy winters, humid summers and wooded lots.
Winter and nor'easters
Winter rentals in Greenville work fine with a little prep. Shovel the drop spot and a path for the truck, keep the container off the street during parking bans, and keep it tarped so snow doesn't add weight you pay for.
Old homes, coast and summer
Spring rain softens lawns and gravel drives. We keep containers on paved or firm surfaces until the ground dries out.
