What's included in a dumpster rental?

Your base rental covers the container, delivery to your site, pickup, and a standard 7-day rental window with included tonnage that varies by dumpster size. Pricing starts at $360 for an 11-yard. If you exceed included weight, overage is $85 per ton; extending beyond 7 days is $15 per day — we explain all of this before you book.

How is junk removal priced?

We price by how much volume your items take in our truck — not by guessing over the phone. When we arrive, we confirm scope and pricing logic before we load, so there are no surprises when the job is done.

Are there extra fees?

We disclose access constraints, mattress or appliance surcharges, and any special handling before we schedule. If something changes on site, we communicate before proceeding.

Do you offer volume discounts?

Yes. Recurring job sites, property portfolios, and multi-service programs qualify for commercial and volume relationships. Start with a commercial account conversation and we will structure pricing to match your cadence.

What if I need to reschedule?

Call dispatch as soon as you know. We will move your window when capacity allows and confirm any pricing or logistics changes immediately — no penalty for honest communication.

Do I need to be home?

Not always. For many dumpsters, fencing, and toilets we can work from clear site instructions and photos. Junk removal usually needs someone on site to confirm scope; we will tell you which applies.

What happens to donated items?

Usable goods are sorted for Habitat for Humanity and local partners when possible. Eligible donation pickups include tax documentation within 14 business days.

Can I add services to an existing job?

Yes. One call to dispatch can add a swapout, extra fencing, toilets, or a junk load to an active account — we bundle logistics so you are not juggling vendors.

Our Story

We started with a 1998 pickup and a promise to show up.

You'd never guess that from looking at us now.

When Nathan Schweid started hauling junk in 2016 with his dad's 1998 Ford Ranger while finishing up at CU Boulder, his vision wasn't anything grand. He just wanted to help out his neighbors and save a few extra bucks along the way.

That turned into something bigger. The kind of thing that happens when you actually show up on time, answer the phone, and treat people's property with respect. Word got around. The Ranger got replaced. Then replaced again. Then again.

Today, we run multiple service lines across Denver — dumpster rentals, junk removal, temporary fencing, and portable toilets — while keeping the same blue-collar operating values: answer fast, communicate clearly, and leave the site cleaner than we found it.

What we stand for.

Presence

We show up — fully. When our crew is on your job, they're there for you. When you call, a real person answers.

Environmental Sustainability

We work with Habitat for Humanity to donate usable items instead of sending everything to a landfill. We sort. We recycle. We find second homes for things that still have life in them.

Communication

We tell you the price upfront. We tell you when we'll be there. If something changes, we call you first. No runaround.

Acceptance

We partner with sober living communities and reentry programs to provide employment opportunities. Everyone deserves a shot.

Landfill with bulldozer — what we're working to prevent

We focus on people and our planet.

According to the EPA, Americans generated ~9.7 million tons of furniture waste in 2018, with roughly 80% going to landfills.

We're working to bring that number down. Our crews sort every job. Usable items go to Habitat for Humanity and local charities. Every donation pickup includes a tax-deductible receipt within 14 business days.

It's our mission to find new homes for our customers' old memories.
