We carry a full lineup of roll-off containers so you get the right bin for the job, not the closest approximation. From a small garage cleanout to a large commercial construction site, there is a size that fits. Our team gives honest recommendations on the right bin size so you are not paying for capacity you do not need or cramming debris into a bin that is too small.
The 10-yard is a solid choice for small cleanouts, single-room remodels, and garage or attic purges. It holds the capacity of around 3 pickup truck loads. If you are clearing out one space rather than an entire property, this is usually the right call.
A 12-yard dumpster works well for bathroom remodels, moderate yard waste, and small flooring or drywall jobs. It holds the capacity of around 5 pickup truck loads. It gives you a little more breathing room than the 10-yard without going larger than the project requires.
The 15-yard handles kitchen remodels, basement cleanouts, and mid-size landscaping debris comfortably. It holds the capacity of around 8 pickup truck loads. This is a popular size for homeowners taking on a meaningful renovation without a full gut job.
Whole-home cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, and larger renovation projects are a natural fit for the 20-yard. It holds the capacity of around 9 pickup truck loads. Contractors and homeowners both reach for this size when the scope goes beyond a single room or trade.
New construction debris, major demolition, and estate or foreclosure cleanouts call for a 30-yard. It holds the capacity of around 13 pickup truck loads. When the volume is high and the timeline is tight, this container keeps the job moving.
The 40-yard is built for large commercial jobs, land clearing, and multi-phase construction sites. It holds the capacity of around 16 pickup truck loads. When you need maximum capacity and a bin that keeps pace with a busy crew, this is the one.
The lowboy is a separate container built specifically for dense, heavy material. Concrete, brick, dirt, and gravel fill a standard bin fast and push it over weight limits quickly. The lowboy is rated for that kind of load, so the weight does not become a problem mid-job. If your project involves heavy debris rather than light construction waste, ask us whether the lowboy is a better fit.
We give honest recommendations on the right bin size. Just give us a call.
You shouldn't have to chase a dumpster company for answers. When a project starts ahead of schedule or cleanup needs to happen today, the last thing you need is a company that cannot give you a straight answer on availability. We offer same-day dumpster rental in Holland when scheduling allows, and next-day delivery is available for most requests. If you have a last-minute or emergency situation, call us and we will tell you exactly what we can do.
We serve Holland and communities throughout Allegan County, and we know these roads and neighborhoods well. Flexible rental periods with no pressure to rush mean you keep the bin until the job is actually done, not until an arbitrary deadline runs out. From there, it's all on us.
Our repeat customers are homeowners and contractors we recognize. We have been doing this in Holland since 1996, and the people who call us are not strangers. They are neighbors working on their homes, crews finishing a job before winter, and property managers keeping a rental portfolio in good shape. We are a local name homeowners and contractors rely on, and that means something to us.
Homeowners come to us for garage cleanouts, attic and basement purges, estate cleanouts, hoarding situations, foreclosure cleanups, moving prep, remodeling debris, yard waste, storm cleanup, and flood or fire damage removal. We help you choose the right size, talk you through what can and cannot go in the bin, and place it in a way that protects your driveway. You handle the loading. We handle the rest.
Contractors, roofing crews, remodeling teams, construction site managers, and property managers all work with us on a regular basis. We handle construction and demolition debris, roofing shingle disposal, concrete and heavy debris with the right container, and multi-job contractor accounts that need recurring delivery and swap-out service. Weekly, monthly, and long-term rentals are available. We make it that simple.
Here's what most people get wrong about dumpster rentals: they assume the price they see up front is the price they will pay, and then they get a bill that does not match. Surprise fees for weight overages, fuel surcharges buried in the fine print, and vague rental terms are common in this industry. We do things differently. Our pricing is flat-rate, our quotes are free and no-obligation, and we walk you through what is included before you commit to anything.
Every quote accounts for the size of the container, the rental period, and the weight allowance so there are no surprises at pickup. If your project involves heavy materials, we talk through tonnage allowances up front. You know what you are paying before the truck pulls out of the lot.
Right size. Right price. Right on time.

If you've never rented a dumpster before, the process is simpler than most people expect. Here is how it goes from start to finish.
One practical note: if the dumpster needs to sit in a public street rather than on private property, some municipalities require a permit. We can point you in the right direction on that, but it is worth checking with Holland city offices before delivery if street placement is necessary. We make it that simple.
Managing waste on a job site comes down to having the right bin, and getting that bin to you promptly matters just as much as the size. We serve Holland and surrounding communities throughout Allegan County, including Zeeland, Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, Hamilton, Hudsonville, West Olive, and Grand Haven. If you are in the area and need a roll-off container, there is a good chance we are already running routes nearby.
We take responsible disposal seriously. Debris we haul goes to the appropriate transfer and disposal facilities, and we sort materials where recycling options exist. Keeping Michigan communities clean is part of the job, not an afterthought. From there, it's all on us.
Call us at (616) 796-6289 and we will walk you through the size options and get a delivery time on the calendar. Same-day and next-day delivery are available for most of the Holland area, so even last-minute projects are usually workable. We confirm your delivery window on the call so you have a real time to plan around.
The 20-yard is one of our most frequently requested sizes for residential work, covering whole-home cleanouts, roofing tear-offs, and multi-room renovations comfortably. For smaller jobs like a garage or attic purge, the 10-yard or 12-yard is often the better fit. When you call, we ask a few questions about your project and point you toward the right size so you are not paying for capacity you do not need.
No. We quote flat-rate pricing before delivery, and that number does not change unless you go over the agreed weight limit or make a significant change to the rental terms. Every quote is free and no-obligation, and we walk you through weight allowances before you commit to anything. What we quote is what you pay.
Yes, property managers and landlords are among our regular customers in Holland and across Allegan County. We handle rental property turnovers, foreclosure cleanouts, and ongoing portfolio maintenance for managers who need a reliable container on a consistent schedule. Call us to talk through your needs and we will set up a rental arrangement that works for your timeline.
Yes. If your bin fills up before the job is finished, call us and we will swap the full container for an empty one. This is common on larger renovation and construction projects where debris volume is hard to predict at the start. We make it easy to keep the job moving without delays.
Just call us when you are ready and we will schedule a pickup. There is no complicated process and no waiting period. Flexible rental periods mean the bin stays until you are actually finished, and pickup happens promptly once you give us the word.
Absolutely. Call us when you are done and we will arrange an early pickup. You are never locked into the full rental period if the job wraps up sooner than expected. We work around your timeline, not the other way around.
Call us and we will figure out the best solution, whether that is an early pickup, a swap to a fresh container, or adding a second bin if the project still has a ways to go. We would rather hear from you early than have debris piling up outside the container. Just give us a call.
Yes. We work with multi-family properties, apartment complexes, and the property managers who oversee them. If you have a specific placement concern or a tight access situation, mention it when you call and we will plan the delivery accordingly.
We operate every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM, including weekends and holidays. If you need a bin on a Sunday or around a holiday, call us and we will confirm availability for your specific date. Our schedule is built around how real projects work, not a standard Monday-through-Friday window.
Thompson's Dumpsters is ready to help with your next cleanout, renovation, or construction project. We offer free estimates, flat-rate pricing, and same-day delivery when the schedule allows. Whether you need a bin for an afternoon or a container that stays on site for weeks, we work around your timeline.
Rent by the day. Rent by the week. Rent as long as the job takes.

How do I know which dumpster size is right for my project?
The best way is to call us and describe what you are working on. We ask a few questions about the type of debris, the scope of the job, and how much space you have, and we point you toward the size that fits without paying for capacity you do not need. If you are unsure whether to go up or down a size, we lean toward giving you a little extra room so the job does not stall.
What items are not allowed in a roll-off dumpster?
Hazardous materials are not accepted in any of our containers. That includes paint, solvents, motor oil, batteries, propane tanks, asbestos, and similar materials. Most general household debris, construction waste, yard waste, and furniture are fine. If you are unsure about a specific item, call us before the bin is delivered and we will give you a straight answer.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing
Every quote we give is free, no-obligation, and covers the container, delivery, pickup, and your weight allowance. What we quote is what you pay.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on the street in Holland?
If the container sits entirely on private property, such as a driveway or lot, a permit is generally not required. If you need to place the bin in a public street or alley, some municipalities do require a permit. We recommend checking with Holland city offices before delivery if street placement is necessary. We can point you in the right direction when you call.
How does same-day dumpster delivery work?
When scheduling allows, we can have a container at your location the same day you call. If you reach us in the morning, same-day delivery is usually straightforward. Afternoon calls may depend on what is already on the route. Either way, call us and we will tell you exactly what we can do for your date and location rather than making you guess.
What happens if I go over the weight allowance?
Each rental includes a set tonnage allowance based on the container size. If your debris comes in heavier than that allowance, overage charges apply based on the excess weight. We walk you through the weight limits before delivery so you know what to expect. If your project involves heavy materials like concrete or roofing shingles, we talk through that up front and may recommend a different container.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery
When your project cannot wait, we work to get a container to you fast. Same-day delivery is available when scheduling allows, and next-day delivery covers most requests in the Holland area.
How do I prevent damage to my driveway during the rental?
We place boards under the container wheels to protect the surface where possible. Letting us know the driveway material when you call helps us plan the placement. Concrete and asphalt can both handle a dumpster with proper precautions, but heavier loads and longer rentals increase the risk slightly. If you have a concern about a specific surface, mention it when you schedule and we will work through it with you.
Can I extend my rental if the project takes longer than expected?
Yes. Flexible rental periods are part of how we work, and there is no pressure to rush. If you need more time, call us before the scheduled pickup and we will extend the rental. Extension rates vary depending on the size and how long you need. We would rather you finish the job right than have debris left over because the bin was picked up too soon.
Do I need to be home when the dumpster is delivered or picked up?
Not necessarily. As long as we have a clear spot to place the container and any access instructions are communicated ahead of time, delivery and pickup can happen without you on site. We confirm the placement location on the call so the driver knows exactly where the bin goes. If there are any access concerns, just let us know and we will plan accordingly.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We ask about your project before we recommend a size. Our goal is to match you with the bin that fits the job, so you are not overpaying for a container that is too large or cramming debris into one that is too small.
What is included in the flat-rate price?
The quoted price covers the container, the rental period, delivery, pickup, and the included weight allowance. There are no fuel surcharges buried in the fine print and no surprise fees added after the fact. If you go over the agreed weight limit, that overage is the only additional charge, and we explain how it works before you commit to anything.
What materials count as heavy debris that would need a lowboy?
Concrete, brick, block, dirt, gravel, and asphalt are the most common heavy materials that push a standard container over its weight limit quickly. The lowboy is rated for that kind of load and keeps the job on track without weight overage charges. If your project involves a mix of light and heavy debris, we can help you figure out whether a standard container, a lowboy, or a combination makes the most sense.
