What size roll-off dumpster do I need?
• 14-Yard / 15-Yard: Ideal for small residential cleanouts, garage clearings, single-room remodels, or heavy material loads like dirt and concrete.
• 20-Yard: The most versatile size for medium deck removals, kitchen remodels, or flooring tear-outs.
• 30-Yard: Built for major construction, roof replacements, full home cleanouts, or commercial fit-outs.
How long can I keep the rental dumpster?
Our standard rental periods typically include up to 7 or 14 days depending on your booking agreement. Need it longer? Daily extensions can be added easily upon request.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway?
We take active measures to protect your property. Drivers utilize protective driveway boards underneath the steel rollers whenever requested or necessary on asphalt and concrete surfaces.
Commercial Front-Load Waste
What pickup schedules are available for commercial bins?
We offer custom service routes tailored to your business waste output, including weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly automated route servicing.
What size commercial dumpsters do you offer?
We supply permanent 4-cubic-yard, 6-cubic-yard, and 8-cubic-yard front-load containers fitted with durable weather lids and optional lock bar assemblies.
Are there lock options to prevent illegal dumping?
Yes. Lock bars can be requested for all front-load bins to secure your container against unauthorized public dumping and overflow fines.
Portable Sanitation & Water Services
How often are portable toilets pumped and cleaned?
Standard long-term rentals include 1x weekly route service. Our licensed pumper truck technicians pump the holding tank, sanitize interior surfaces, restock toilet paper, and refill hand sanitizer/soap.
How many portable restrooms do I need for my construction site?
OSHA regulations state that construction sites require a minimum of 1 portable toilet per 10 workers for a standard 40-hour work week.
Are you a licensed septic disposal company?
Yes. Big Yellow Services is a fully licensed North Carolina Domestic Septage Firm operating in compliance with state environmental protection regulations (G.S. 130A-290).
