How the process works

No signup, no online portal, no sitting around for an email reply. You'll have the size and delivery window confirmed before you end the call.

1

Schedule it

Call (401) 395-1390 or tap any button on this page. Describe the project and pick a date — we lock in the container size and placement while you're still on the phone.

2

We drop it off

We place the container exactly where you want it, boards underneath, door oriented the way you requested. You don't need to be there.

3

We remove it

Call or text once you're finished loading. We come get it and dispose of everything, typically on the next business day.

Why Salt Lake City residents keep choosing us

Your driveway stays protected

Every driver places boards beneath the container rails before anything touches your pavement.

Licensed and insured

Fully covered for residential and commercial projects throughout UT. We provide certificates on request.

Family-owned, never a middleman

You speak directly with the people who own the trucks — not an outsourced call center in another state.

One phone call handles everything

Share the project details and your preferred date. We confirm the container size and placement before the call ends.

Correct size on the first delivery

Describe your project and we'll recommend the right size, including when a smaller container will handle it.

Same-day for early orders

Call before 1pm and we can typically have a container sitting in your driveway that same afternoon.

Accepted materials — and what stays out

If you're not certain about an item, check with us before tossing it in — that prevents a rejected load.

Family-owned, never a middleman

Hans Nelson has been moving debris across the Salt Lake City area for 17 years — first driving for another company, now running their own. When you dial (401) 395-1390, you reach the family that owns the containers, handles the routes and picks up the phone on Saturday mornings.

A lot of dumpster sites are brokers who pass your job off to whatever hauler is available. We are the crew that actually arrives.

Questions we hear every week

Where exactly will the container go?
Anywhere our truck can safely access — your driveway, side yard, or on the street with the proper permit. Let us know which direction you want the door to face and we'll set it accordingly.
Is a permit required in Salt Lake City?
Not when the container sits on a private driveway. If it needs to go on a public street, Salt Lake City requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the right office.
Which size do homeowners choose most often?
The 20 yard. It handles a kitchen renovation or a full-house cleanout, and it's the container we deliver most across Salt Lake City. If your project calls for something smaller, we'll let you know and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
Is same-day dumpster delivery available?
In most cases, yes — place your order before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's schedule. Orders after 1pm go on the first route the following morning.
What materials are allowed in the dumpster?
Household junk, furniture, renovation debris, shingles, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard debris, soil and concrete go in a separate heavy-load container.
