Roll-off dumpster rental in Louisville, KY runs from a 10 yard box for a garage clean-out to a 40 yard unit for a full tear-down, with day rates starting around $51 and weekly rates in the $426 to $778 range depending on size. Louisville Porta Pros delivers same-week in most cases.
Size depends on the job, not the address. A 10 yard dumpster handles a single-room remodel, a small deck tear-out or a garage purge, roughly 3 pickup truck loads of debris. A 20 yard dumpster is the one most Louisville homeowners land on for a roof replacement or a whole-house declutter, and it is the size we quote most for home renovation porta potty job sites that also need debris hauled. A 30 yard dumpster suits new construction and major additions. A 40 yard dumpster is built for commercial demo and large-scale construction site services where volume, not weight, is the constraint. If you are not sure, our dumpster sizes and dimensions page breaks down footprint and height for each box, and matters because a roll-off truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it to set the container down without backing across a neighbor's yard.
| size | best for | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10-20 yd | cleanouts, small remodels | $51-112 | $426-778 | $500-778 |
| 20-30 yd | roofing, renovations | $51-112 | $426-778 | $500-778 |
| 30-40 yd | new construction, demo | $51-112 | $426-778 | $500-778 |
A day rate typically falls between $51 and $112, a full week runs $426 to $778, and a month-long rental lands between $500 and $778 depending on size and how much you fill it. Delivery adds a separate fee, usually $100 to $150 for a same-week drop. Our dumpster rental cost page walks through what drives the difference between a $75 day rate and a $500 weekly bill, mostly size and tonnage. If you are pricing a whole property, not just one bin, our roll-off dumpster rental team can bundle delivery with portable toilet rental and temporary fence rental for one site visit instead of three.
Every roll-off has a tonnage cap built into the rental, and going over it means an overage charge per ton on top of the base rate. Weight limits scale with size: a 10 yard box holds far less debris weight than a 40 yard box, but shingles, concrete and dirt are dense enough to hit the ton limit long before the box looks full. Our dumpster weight limits page has the specifics by size so you are not guessing at the curb when the truck arrives to pick it up. Heavy debris like roofing or masonry is the number one reason a Louisville customer gets an overage bill they did not expect.
Paint, tires, batteries, oil, refrigerants and anything flagged hazardous cannot go in a standard roll-off, and most companies will not haul wet paint or chemical containers at all. Electronics and certain appliances often need separate handling too. Our what cannot go in a dumpster page lists the full set of exclusions so your load does not get rejected at the transfer station, which costs you a second trip and a redelivery fee. If your job involves stripping old coatings or applying new ones, note that OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, so a handwashing station rental belongs on that site alongside the dumpster.
Permit needs depend on where the box sits. If the dumpster stays entirely on private property, most jobs need nothing from the city. If it has to sit in the street, on a sidewalk, or blocks a right of way, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with Louisville before delivery. We have not verified a specific ordinance number for this, so check with the city rather than assume. Our dumpster permit requirements page covers what to ask when you call, and our porta potty permit requirements page covers the same question for a toilet placed curbside on the same job.
Flat, stable ground with clear overhead access is the short version. ADA Standards section 302.1 calls for surfaces that are stable, firm and slip resistant, which is a good baseline even outside accessibility contexts because a soft or sloped pad lets a full container settle unevenly. Leave the 60 feet of straight clearance behind the drop point that the delivery truck needs, and keep the space clear of parked cars on delivery day. Our porta potty placement guide walks through the same site-prep logic for restroom units, and it applies just as well to where you stage a roll-off before the truck shows up.
Yes, and most contractors do exactly that for one site visit instead of two. A single call to Louisville Porta Pros gets you a roll-off box, a standard porta potty rental or two, and delivery scheduled together, which saves a trip charge on both ends. Construction crews of 20 workers or fewer need at minimum one toilet facility under OSHA 1926.51(c)(1), and that number climbs with crew size, so pairing dumpster capacity with restroom count up front avoids a second delivery mid-project. Check our how many porta potties do I need guide before you call, and bundle a construction dumpster rental with your toilet order to lock one delivery window.
Same-week delivery is standard, and next-day is often possible if you call in the morning. Louisville Porta Pros services the city core and the closer suburbs directly, including Parkway Village 1.4 miles south and Audubon Park 1.7 miles southeast. We also reach Strathmoor Village and Strathmoor Manor, both about 4.1 miles east, plus Seneca Gardens at 4.2 miles east and Lynnview at 4.4 miles southeast. Jobs further out, like Shively at 5.6 miles southwest or St. Matthews at 6.9 miles east, still get scheduled deliveries, and we cross the river for New Albany at 10.6 miles northwest and Jeffersonville at 13.0 miles north.

For events that need waste and restrooms in one order, our event restroom rental and festival restroom rental pages cover that pairing directly. For general questions before you commit, our frequently asked questions page and about page cover company basics, or head straight to contact to talk through your project.
Most rentals run by the day, week or month, and pricing scales accordingly: a week costs more than a day but less than four separate day rentals. Monthly rates suit ongoing construction. Tell us your project timeline and we will match the duration to the job, not the other way around.
A 10 yard box suits a single-room cleanout or small demo, roughly 3 pickup loads. A 20 yard box, the size most Louisville homeowners choose, handles a full renovation or roof job. Both share the same day-rate band, but the 20 yard holds close to double the volume.
Sometimes, but weight is the limiting factor, not volume. Concrete and dirt are dense enough to hit the tonnage cap while the box still looks half empty. Ask us for a dedicated heavy-debris box before you load it, since standard weight limits apply and overage charges follow per ton.
Same-week delivery is typical, and next-day is often available for morning call-ins. Availability depends on size and current fleet load. Call ahead if your timeline is tight, especially for larger boxes like the 30 yard or 40 yard sizes, which move less often than the 20 yard.
Usually not, if the box stays fully on private property. Street or right-of-way placement is a different question, and that needs confirming with the city before delivery. We have not verified a specific Louisville ordinance for this, so ask the city directly rather than assume either way.
Most roofing jobs land on a 20 yard box, sometimes a 30 yard for larger roofs or multiple layers of old shingles. Shingles are heavy, so weight caps out before volume does on most roofing jobs. We can recommend size once you tell us square footage and layer count.
Weekend and short-term options exist, though most roll-off pricing is structured by day, week and month rather than a fixed weekend rate. Call with your dates and we will quote the shortest rental that covers your job, since a day rate multiplied out rarely beats a proper weekly rate.
Call us and we will adjust the schedule. Early pickup is usually straightforward. Extending a rental mid-term is common too, and we bill the extra days or move you into a weekly or monthly rate if that works out cheaper for the extended timeline.
