Dumpster Rental in
Maplewood, NJ
Whether the job is off CR 508 or anywhere else in Maplewood, ZTERS delivers roll-off dumpsters in 10 to 40 yard sizes — the 10 yard at $835-$990 for a 10-day rental.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
No quote-chasing: the numbers for New Jersey are on the page. One call books the container, one account manager owns the order until pickup, and the delivery date you set is the one the truck works to.
A 20-yard dumpster covers most Maplewood work. That is the size for a kitchen remodel in Academy Heights or a full basement cleanout elsewhere in town. Roofing jobs run heavier, so a 10-yard is often the smarter pick there. Maplewood homes were built in waves, and the older ones hide plaster, lath, and brick that add real weight. A 30-yard works for a whole-house purge, but check what is going in before you commit to it. Dense material fills a container's weight allowance long before it looks full.
Will the truck fit where you want the dumpster? That is the question that decides most Maplewood deliveries. Many driveways here are older, narrower, and lined with mature trees. Bloomfield Avenue and Springfield Avenue see plenty of our trucks, and the residential streets off them can get tight. The container rides on two steel rails, so the surface under it matters less than the approach. Look up before delivery day. A low limb or service line over the drive can stop a drop that looked fine from the ground. Walk the route in once and you are set.
Dumpster Sizes in Maplewood
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Maplewood, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
One stripped room, a shed coming down, the end of a long-postponed cleanout: the 10 yard takes it for $835 to $990 and fits where bigger containers cannot.
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.
The 20 yard, $925 to $1154, is the size crews default to: big enough for a full-room gut, small enough that the drive still works around it.
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.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $1170 to $1355, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
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 suits estate cleanouts and downsizing jobs — volume without much weight — and sits in the same driveway slot the smaller container uses.
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.
When the job is measured in rooms rather than fixtures, the 30 yard at $975 to $1170 keeps a crew from waiting on swaps. Save it for bulk; dense debris maxes the allowance early.
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 Maplewood, NJ
For homeowners
A garage or basement cleanout is the most common homeowner job, and it is a volume job: bulky, light, and done over a weekend. Kitchen and bath remodels add cabinets and flooring. Either way the container sits on the Maplewood driveway, and the rear door swings open so heavy pieces roll in instead of going over the wall.
For contractors
Jobsite loads run heavier than household ones. Shingles, plaster and tile reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty, so crews often run a smaller container and swap it out rather than overload one. Stage it where the truck gets a straight shot in and the swaps stay quick.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Maplewood
- 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 Maplewood, NJ?
Dumpster rental pricing in Maplewood 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 Maplewood
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $835 – $990 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $925 – $1154 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $975 – $1170 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1170 – $1355 | — | 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 Maplewood 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 Maplewood
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
Maplewood dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Maplewood dumpster costs range from $835 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1355 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.
There is no fixed answer, because the trucks work routes. A delivery lands in Maplewood when a truck is already headed that way with room on its schedule, so the honest window shifts week to week.
The reliable move is to call with your start date and ask what the current window looks like. Book a day or two ahead of when you want to start loading and the timing takes care of itself.
If you are in the middle of a driveway repour or a big landscaping job, street placement is sometimes the only option. Maplewood streets are narrow, and a container on the pavement has to leave room for traffic and parked cars. Town rules generally require a permit for any dumpster in the right-of-way, and the police department can flag one that blocks a sight line. Set cones around it and keep it close to the curb. A driveway drop needs no permit and is the simpler route whenever the approach allows it.
The town is laid out in neat blocks around Academy Heights, with the parks scattered through the middle. ZTERS delivers to every street in Maplewood, from the houses near Farrell Field to the lanes that back up against Waterlands Park. A driver meets the same thing almost everywhere: a tight residential street with cars on both sides. That is manageable, but it is why we ask you to leave a clear path. If you are over in Irvington or Union, we cover those towns too.
Your own driveway is the usual answer. A dumpster on private property in Maplewood does not need a permit. If it has to go on the street, the Township of Maplewood requires one, and the engineering department handles it. Start there a few days before you need the container. The permit comes with its own rules about how long a container can sit in the right-of-way and where it can go. A neighbor-adjacent spot can draw a complaint, so keep it on your own asphalt when you can.
You get 10 days from the day it is dropped, which covers nearly every single-project rental with room to spare. Nobody is standing over the clock.
Need longer? Call before the window closes and add days for an additional daily fee. Done early? Call and the pickup moves up, as long as the truck has not already been routed for the day.
Measure the job by its debris, not its square footage. One bathroom or a single room of flooring is a 10. A full kitchen, cabinets and counters included, fills a 20. Whole-floor gut jobs and big cleanouts run to a 30.
The larger sizes share the same footprint and only grow taller, so a bigger container does not need a bigger driveway. The exception is heavy material: shingles, tile, concrete or dirt hit the weight limit long before the container looks full, so mention them when you call and let the tonnage set the size.
