Dumpster Rental in
Staten Island, NY

Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
What kind of job are you doing on Staten Island? That matters more than the address. Roofs out in Great Kills and Bulls Head shed old shingles at a ton or two per roofing square. Kitchen gut jobs in Heartland Village pile up drywall, cabinets, and tile. They run lighter but take up space. A basement cleanout near Willowbrook Park might be mostly cardboard and old furniture. Or it could be plaster and brick from an older house. Same container, very different loads. That is why weight beats volume here. A 10 or 20 usually fits the job better than a 30 or 40.
What does the truck meet at the drop? Staten Island driveways are often short and sloped toward the street. Some neighborhoods still have mature trees hanging low over the pavement. The truck needs a straight run of about 60 feet. It also needs a little over 10 feet of width and 20 to 25 feet of clear overhead. A limb over the driveway off Richmond Avenue or Hylan Boulevard stops more deliveries than anything at ground level. Walk your route and look up before delivery day. That single check saves a reschedule.
Dumpster Sizes in Staten Island
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Staten Island, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard runs $820 to $980 and is the pick when debris is dense: tile, plaster and shingles reach the weight limit long before a bigger container would look full.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Most kitchen-plus-bath remodels land in the 20 yard, $905 to $1080. It takes the cabinets, counters, subfloor and trim in one go, with the footprint of a delivery truck.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
The 40 yard at $1130 to $1335 holds bulk, not weight: the walls run eight feet, so loading means a ramp, a ladder or the rear door, and dense material hits the truck's legal limit long before the rim.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard is the same footprint as the 10 with taller walls, which suits bulky-but-light loads: furniture, carpet, a garage that filled itself over a decade.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
A 30 yard takes what a whole house sheds in a remodel — cabinetry, doors, carpet, framing offcuts — for $955 to $1075. Same footprint as the 20; the extra capacity is all height.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Staten Island, NY
For homeowners
Most household jobs are cleanouts and remodels: furniture, boxes, carpet, cabinets, the layers a house builds up over years. That debris is bulky rather than heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard on a Staten Island driveway usually covers it, with room left to park beside it.
For contractors
On a build or a gut job in Staten Island, the debris changes by phase — framing scrap is bulky, demolition is dense, tear-offs are heavier than they look. Matching the container to the phase beats parking one big container for the whole job, and swaps keep the site clear without a second setup.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Staten Island
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Staten Island, NY?
Dumpster rental pricing in Staten Island varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Staten Island
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $820 – $980 | $115 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $905 – $1080 | $105 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $955 – $1075 | $138 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1130 – $1335 | $42 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Staten Island address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 664-7740 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Staten Island
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Staten Island dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Staten Island dumpster costs range from $820 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1335 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
The 10-yard container is the size most Staten Island jobs use. It is also the most likely to need a quick permit check. The city issues permits for dumpsters placed on city streets through the Department of Transportation. You can find the application online or call 311 to get the right forms for your borough.
Whatever you are clearing out, ZTERS covers it all across Staten Island. That means a roll-off at your house in Great Kills, a job site in New Springville, a renovation in St. George, or a cleanout in Tottenville. The driver knows each neighborhood's streets. From the tight blocks around the College of Staten Island to the wider lanes down by La Tourette Park.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Staten Island comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
A clear driveway with a few feet to spare on each side is the easiest spot. Most Staten Island deliveries go that way. If the container must sit on the street, you apply to the NYC Department of Transportation for a street occupancy permit. They will want the location and the dates. Start a week out if you can. The process is straightforward, but it is paperwork.
Staten Island's older neighborhoods, the ones built out before the expressways, have narrow streets and few driveways. Street placement is decided by the width of the road and its parking rules. A permit from the city covers the spot. The driver will set the container as close to the curb as the street allows. Just know that parked cars, hydrants, and intersections all move the drop point. Leave a note on your car if it is in the way.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
