Thompson's Dumpsters has been dropping off roll-off containers across Holland and the surrounding Allegan County area since 1996. Whether you need a bin on your driveway by this afternoon or scheduled for first thing tomorrow, we have same-day and next-day delivery available. Homeowners, contractors, property managers, and businesses throughout West Michigan count on us to show up when we say we will and haul away when the job is done. No guessing on size. No guessing on price. No guessing on delivery. Call (616) 796-6289 today for a free quote and let us get a dumpster to you fast.
You shouldn't have to chase a dumpster company for answers. When you call us, we confirm your delivery window right then so you can plan your project around a real time, not a vague estimate. Same-day roll-off delivery is available for most of the Holland area, and next-day scheduling is almost always an option if your timeline allows a little flexibility.
We handle placement carefully so the bin sits where you need it without damaging your driveway or blocking traffic. Our pricing is flat-rate and spelled out before we ever drop a container, so there are no surprise charges waiting for you at pickup. Flexible rental periods mean you keep the bin as long as the project actually takes. We make it that simple.
We carry a full lineup of roll-off dumpsters sized for everything from a single-room cleanout to a large commercial demolition. Not sure which size fits your project? We offer honest recommendations on the right bin size at no cost, so you never pay for more container than you actually need. Here is what we have available.
The 10-yard dumpster holds the capacity of around 3 pickup truck loads, making it a solid choice for small projects like garage cleanouts, attic purges, or a single-room renovation. It fits easily in most standard driveways and works well when debris volume is modest but you still need a proper container to stay organized.
With the capacity of around 5 pickup truck loads, the 12-yard is a popular size for basement cleanouts, bathroom remodels, and moderate yard waste or landscaping debris. It gives you a meaningful step up in volume without taking up much more space on your property.
The 15-yard dumpster handles the capacity of around 8 pickup truck loads and suits mid-size jobs well. Kitchen remodels, flooring removal across several rooms, and estate or property cleanouts that fall somewhere between small and large are all strong fits for this size.
At the capacity of around 9 pickup truck loads, the 20-yard is one of our most versatile containers. Whole-home renovations, roofing tear-offs, and mixed construction and demolition debris all fit comfortably, and it handles the pace of an active job site without needing constant swaps.
The 30-yard dumpster carries the capacity of around 13 pickup truck loads and is built for serious work. Large construction projects, commercial job sites, land clearing, and storm debris cleanup after a rough Michigan season are exactly what this size is designed for.
For maximum volume, the 40-yard holds the capacity of around 16 pickup truck loads. Major demolition projects, large contractor accounts, and multi-phase jobs that generate consistent high-volume debris are the right match for this container.
If your project involves concrete, brick, dirt, or other dense materials, ask us about our lowboy option. It is designed around weight capacity rather than volume, making it the right call when standard roll-off containers would be overloaded by the sheer density of the debris.
If you've never rented a dumpster before, it can be hard to know where to start. Most Holland homeowners come to us with a straightforward need: they have more junk, debris, or renovation waste than a few trash bags can handle, and they want a clean, simple solution.
Common residential projects we support include:
We offer flexible rental periods with no pressure to rush, so if life gets in the way mid-project, the bin stays until you are ready. Our repeat customers are homeowners and contractors we recognize. That kind of relationship matters to us, and it shows in how we handle every job. From there, it's all on us.
Managing waste on a job site comes down to having the right bin. Too small and you are paying for extra hauls. Too large and you are tying up space and budget on volume you do not need. We size the container to the actual scope of the work, not to pad the invoice.
We work regularly with roofing crews, remodeling contractors, property managers, and demolition teams throughout Holland and Allegan County. Common job site needs we handle include:
We are a local name homeowners and contractors rely on, and we make it easy to set up repeat service if you have ongoing work in the area. Just give us a call.
Here's what most people get wrong about dumpster rentals: they assume the price will change once the bin hits the driveway. Ours does not. We quote flat-rate pricing before delivery, and that number does not shift unless you go over the agreed weight limit or request a significant change to the rental terms.
Rent by the day. Rent by the week. Rent as long as the job takes. We build our rental periods around real project timelines, not a rigid schedule that forces you to rush. If your project runs longer than expected, call us and we will work it out. Free, no-obligation dumpster quotes are available any time you call, and we will walk you through weight allowances and any other details before you commit to anything. We make it that simple.
Most general project debris is acceptable in our roll-off containers. Common materials include:
Prohibited and restricted materials include hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, asbestos, tires, batteries, and appliances containing refrigerants. If you are unsure whether a specific material is acceptable, ask when you call for your quote. We handle debris responsibly and work with local transfer facilities to sort and process materials appropriately where that option is available.
Holland is our home base, and we serve customers throughout the broader West Michigan region. If you are in Zeeland, Saugatuck, Douglas, Fennville, Hamilton, or West Olive, we can get a container to you on the same schedule we offer in Holland proper. We also cover additional communities across Allegan County, so if your town is not listed, call and ask. Chances are good we already have customers in your area. From there, it's all on us.
Estate and hoarder cleanouts often generate more volume than people expect, so we typically recommend the 20-yard or 30-yard depending on the size of the home and how full it is. The 20-yard holds the capacity of around 9 pickup truck loads and handles most single-family estates, while the 30-yard at around 13 pickup truck loads gives crews more room on larger or heavily packed properties. Call us and describe the situation and we will help you land on the right size.
Permit requirements vary by municipality, and in Holland the permit is typically the customer's responsibility to obtain from city offices before delivery. We can point you in the right direction on who to contact, but we recommend checking with Holland city offices before scheduling if street placement is necessary. We want to make sure placement is fully above board before the truck arrives.
Prohibited materials include hazardous waste, chemicals, paint, asbestos, tires, batteries, and appliances containing refrigerants. Most general construction debris, household junk, yard waste, roofing materials, and bulk furniture are acceptable. If you are unsure about a specific item, ask when you call for your quote and we will give you a straight answer.
Overfilled containers cannot be transported safely or legally, so if the load is above the fill line when we arrive, we will need to work with you to bring it into compliance before hauling. This can mean removing material from the top of the bin before pickup. We talk through load expectations at quote time to help avoid this situation on your job.
No. Tires are among the restricted materials we cannot accept in our roll-off containers. If you have tires to dispose of as part of a larger cleanout, let us know when you call and we can point you toward appropriate disposal options in the Holland area.
We recommend leaving enough clearance around the container for safe loading and to avoid contact with eaves, fences, or overhead utilities. When you schedule delivery, describe your placement area and any nearby structures and we will factor that into how we position the bin. Our drivers pay attention to the surroundings and will flag any concerns on arrival.
Yes. Call us before the rental period ends and we will extend it. We build our rental terms around how real projects work, and running long is common. Rent by the day, rent by the week, rent as long as the job takes. We will let you know what the extension costs so there are no surprises.
Yes. Bulk household junk, furniture, and mixed non-hazardous debris are all acceptable. The main restrictions are hazardous materials, chemicals, tires, batteries, and appliances with refrigerants. For a standard cleanout involving furniture, clothing, old appliances without refrigerants, and general household items, the bin is the right tool for the job.
The 15-yard, at around 8 pickup truck loads, fits mid-size jobs like a kitchen remodel or an estate cleanout that covers most but not all of a home. The 20-yard, at around 9 pickup truck loads, is the better call when you are clearing multiple rooms, pulling flooring throughout a house, or handling a roofing tear-off on a larger structure. When in doubt, we recommend sizing up slightly so you are not cramming debris into a bin that runs out of room mid-project.
Yes. We handle recurring and multi-delivery rentals for contractors and homeowners running phased projects. If you know you will need a bin for phase one and another for phase two, let us know upfront and we will plan the schedule around your project timeline. We also offer swap-out service if a single bin fills up before a phase is complete.
Swap-out turnaround depends on our daily schedule, but we work to get a fresh container to you as quickly as possible once you call. On active job sites where pace matters, we prioritize getting the empty bin back so your crew is not sitting idle. Call (616) 796-6289 when the bin is full and we will give you a realistic window.
Brick, concrete, and masonry can go into a standard container within the agreed weight limits, but these materials are dense and fill a weight allowance quickly before the bin looks full. For projects with significant volumes of heavy debris, we recommend asking about our lowboy option, which is designed around weight capacity rather than volume. We will help you figure out which container makes more sense for your specific load.
Thompson's Dumpsters has been serving Holland and the surrounding West Michigan area for nearly 30 years, and we still answer the phone the same way we did in 1996: ready to help, ready to deliver, and ready to give you a straight answer on price and availability. Same-day and next-day delivery is available throughout Holland and Allegan County. Right size. Right price. Right on time. Call (616) 796-6289 now for your free, no-obligation quote and let us get a dumpster on your property when you need it.
Choosing the right dumpster size makes the difference between a job that moves smoothly and one that stalls waiting on an extra haul. We carry a full lineup of roll-off containers, from compact 10-yard bins for small cleanouts to 40-yard containers built for large commercial sites. Every quote is free and no-obligation, and we give honest recommendations so you get the size that fits the project, not the closest guess.

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.
