Yard Waste Dumpster Rental in Des Moines
Which size fits your project? We manage Roll-Off selection for Des Moines and Polk, paired with our residential cleanout coordination—ensuring you have the right capacity for every task.
Branch and Brush Yard Debris Dumpster Rental
Hooklift trucks deliver a Roll-Off Dumpster Rental across Des Moines for brush and hedge cleanup; our drivers level the container on wood planks for stable, easy loading from a wheelbarrow.
10-yard yard waste roll-off
A 10-yard bin holds about three pickup loads of debris and measures roughly 12 feet long by 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high, and the rental is covered by our landscape debris flat pricing for your project.
A 10-yard bin fits a single tree trim, a hedge, or a brush pile; its low side walls assist with wheelbarrow loading, and you can check the yard debris container sizing guide.
15-yard yard waste roll-off
The 15-yard container holds about four to five pickup loads of yard debris and measures roughly 14 feet long by 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high. Check our yard waste dumpster service area coverage to see if we serve your street.
Our 15-yard container is the standard size in Des Moines for yard waste. Check the EPA home composting and yard waste guide for disposal tips. Call (515) 994-8891.
20-yard yard waste roll-off
A 20-yard roll-off holds about six pickup loads of yard debris and it measures roughly 22 feet long by 8 feet wide and 4.5 feet high, so the walls keep the waste contained when you load it up.
A 20-yard handles a full landscape tear-out, a large-lot clearing, or a storm-recovery job; the taller walls and longer floor keep crews moving when the load mixes brush with heavy bagged debris.
Leaf, Sod, and Landscape Disposal Containers
Loose leaves and raking debris fill our 15-yard bin easily; however, soil and sod move the Roll-Off Rental into a heavier category for spring and fall cleanup in Des Moines.
Sod and topsoil hit your tonnage limits fast; therefore, our 20-yard Roll-Off Container Rental handles mixed debris—like heavy sod plus brush—in one trip to keep the job site clean.
Rental day-rates for a container align with our Residential Dumpster Rental, plus the dump fee at the transfer station; wet sod is heavy, so it costs more than dry leaves in the roll-off.
Seasonal Cleanup Container Scheduling
Dispatch coordinates roll-off movements across Polk using hooklift trucks; this ensures back-to-back project timelines remain steady, even if a mid-week fill occurs during your seasonal yard work.
Post-thaw cleanup
April through May handles winter dieback, perennial cutback, and the first major mow—request the standard 5-day bin and add a swap-out to keep the second load moving.
Storm-response dispatch
High winds drop branches across Des Moines, so we dispatch a crew to clear the debris; our team holds capacity for each hail or wind event to remove a downed limb promptly.
Leaf-haul window
October and November bring heavy leaf raking and shrub cutback work; we recommend reserving a 15-yard or 20-yard container two weeks before your project date to ensure we have equipment ready for your site.
Tree-removal projects
Dormant-season projects like dormant tree work and post-storm cleanup continue year-round; drivers route around snowpack and ice while setting the container level on driveway boards.
Weight Planning for Wet Leaves and Soil
Wet leaves and topsoil push the container toward the weight limit faster than expected; our drivers level the unit on Driveway Boards—this ensures an even load and keeps your total tonnage.
Loads approaching the weight cap can trigger a mid-rental Swap-Out; our dispatch team will swap the bin to keep your site moving. We weigh every load at the transfer station ticket office.
Wet soil and saturated leaves carry more weight than dry brush, so the included weight cap on a 15-yard fills faster during a rainy week—or even a damp one.
Acceptable Green Waste and Stump Policy
What counts as green waste? Your roll-off rental accepts branches, brush, leaves, grass clippings, shrub trimmings, mulch, and wood chips—but we do not take painted lumber, treated wood, or chemicals.
Small stumps under 6 inches in diameter ride along with brush in a roll-off; however, large root balls require a separate dirt-rated container because soil mass will weigh out a standard bin. Keep food scraps out of the container—use home compost for organic material—so that we can manage your debris.
Accepted in the bin
- ✓ Branches and brush up to 8′ long
- ✓ Loose leaves, grass clippings, mulch
- ✓ Sod strips and small root balls
- ✓ Stump-grinder chips and shavings
Not in the yard-waste bin
- ✕ Loose dirt or fill soil (use a lowboy)
- ✕ Whole stumps over 18″ diameter
- ✕ Construction lumber, drywall, concrete
- ✕ Trash bags of household garbage
