All our dumpsters are driveway-safe, clean, and equipped for both residential and commercial use.

- Flooring and carpet disposal
- Single-room remodels
Dimensions: about 14 ft long × 8 ft wide × 5 ft tall

Ideal for:

- Full-house cleanouts
- Commercial remodeling
- Large roofing jobs
Dimensions: about 22 ft long × 8 ft wide × 6 ft tall
Best for: contractors, construction companies, and property managers.
The 40-yard dumpster is our largest container, built for high-volume waste and industrial-scale projects.

Dimensions: about 22 ft long × 8 ft wide × 8 ft tall

Even with its size, our skilled drivers can safely deliver and position it in tight or uneven areas.
Why Size Matters
Choosing the right dumpster size isn’t just about how much junk you have — it’s about saving time and money. Renting one that’s too small can lead to overflow or multiple hauls. Going too big might mean paying for unused space.
Our team helps you pick the right size based on your debris type, weight, and project length, so you always get the best value.
“Measure twice, rent once — that’s our motto.”
Driveway-Friendly & HOA-Approved
All Fort Dumpsters containers are driveway-safe, designed with residential users in mind. We use boards or protective pads to prevent scratches and keep your property clean.
If your neighborhood has HOA rules or tight access, just let us know — we’ve placed dumpsters in everything from beachside homes to downtown alleys.
Eco-Friendly Waste Disposal
All waste collected in our dumpsters goes to licensed Broward County recycling and disposal facilities, not random dumps.
We recycle:
- Yard waste and clean wood
- Concrete and metal
- Cardboard and packaging
- Roofing and construction debris
We care about keeping Fort Lauderdale green — one cleanup at a time.
