One of the most common questions we hear at Wasteline Solutions is: “How much does it cost to rent a dumpster?”

The answer depends on several factors, including dumpster size, rental period, type of debris, and location. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a renovation or a contractor managing a demolition, understanding the cost of dumpster rentals will help you budget more effectively and avoid surprises.

At Wasteline Solutions, we pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden fees—so you’ll always know what to expect.

Average Dumpster Rental Costs in Fort Lauderdale

While prices can vary, here’s a general breakdown of what you can expect for roll-off dumpster rentals in South Florida:

• 10-Yard Dumpster: $300 – $400 (small cleanouts, yard waste, minor renovations)

• 20-Yard Dumpster: $350 – $450 (kitchen or bathroom remodels, roofing projects)

• 30-Yard Dumpster: $400 – $550 (large home cleanouts, multi-room renovations)

• 40-Yard Dumpster: $500 – $650 (commercial projects, major demolitions, estate cleanouts)

💡 Pro Tip: Choosing the right size dumpster can actually save you money. Renting too small may require multiple swaps, while renting too large may mean you’re paying for unused space.

Factors That Affect Dumpster Rental Pricing

1. Dumpster Size
   Larger dumpsters cost more, but they also hold more debris, often making them more cost-effective for big projects.

2. Rental Duration
   Standard rentals typically last 7 days, but Wasteline Solutions offers flexible rental periods. Longer rentals may come with an added fee.

3. Type of Debris

   • Household Junk & Furniture → Lower cost

   • Construction Debris (wood, drywall, flooring) → Mid-range pricing

   • Heavy Materials (concrete, brick, dirt) → Higher due to weight disposal fees

4. Weight Limits
   Each dumpster comes with a set weight limit. Overweight loads may result in additional charges from the landfill.

5. Location & Delivery
   Costs may vary based on delivery location, accessibility, and whether permits are required for street placement.

Avoiding Extra Fees
