How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Fort Lauderdale?

Typical cost by size

These are planning ranges, not a rate card — your quote depends on what is going in, how long you need it and where it sits. Call (954) 287-2445 for a firm, no-obligation price for your address.

• 10 yard: roughly $250 to $400 — small cleanouts, bathroom remodels, pavers and concrete loaded level
• 15 yard: roughly $300 to $450 — kitchens, flooring, decks
• 20 yard: roughly $350 to $550 — multi-room remodels, whole-house cleanouts, roofs up to about 30 squares
• 30 yard: roughly $450 to $650 — renovations to the studs, large roofs, construction
• 40 yard: quoted per job — commercial demolition and multi-unit work

Every price includes delivery, pickup, a standard 7-day rental and disposal up to a stated tonnage. No fuel surcharge, no pickup fee.

What actually drives the price

• Size. Bigger containers cost more up front but less than two smaller ones back to back.
• Weight and material. Disposal is charged by the ton at Broward County's landfill — construction and demolition material is $100 a ton from 1 January 2026, bulk waste the same, yard trash $75 a ton. Concrete, tile, shingles and dirt use up the included tonnage fast; household junk and renovation debris do not.
• Rental length. Seven days is standard; extra days are a small daily rate.
• Distance. We are in Fort Lauderdale, so most of Broward is a short run. The far corners of the county may carry a small adjustment, which we say up front.
• Permits. A container in a public right-of-way needs a city permit with its own fee — and in Lauderhill a residential driveway dumpster carries a $150 city permit. The permit guide has every city.

Extra fees to watch for — anywhere

Ask any provider three questions: what happens if I go over the weight limit, what if I keep it longer, and what is a prohibited item fee. At Fort Dumpsters those are the only three ways a bill changes, and we walk through all three on the first call. Overfilling above the rail is the one that catches people — a heaped container cannot be transported, so the driver has to leave it or ask you to unload it.

Dumpster or junk removal — which is cheaper?

For anything beyond a couple of pickup loads, a container you load yourself is cheaper, because you are paying for the box rather than the hours. For a small job you want gone today with nobody to lift, our junk removal crew is the better value. We run both and will say which on the phone.

How to get an accurate quote

Tell us three things: the size you think you need, roughly what is going in (and specifically whether any of it is concrete, tile, roofing or soil), and how many days you expect to need it. Add the address and whether it sits on a driveway or in the street. That is enough for a firm number. Same-day delivery in Fort Lauderdale carries no rush fee.
