Dumpster Rental in
Apple Valley, MN
Cleanout, remodel or roofing tear-off, there is a container size for it here in Apple Valley — 10 through 40 yards, with the 10 yard at $675-$800 for a 10-day rental.
Mon–Fri 7am–7pm CT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
What you get with ZTERS: published prices instead of a callback quote, one account manager from first call to pickup, and a delivery date that holds. Nothing about that changes with the size of the job.
Apple Valley is mostly single-family homes on regular suburban lots, and the work here reflects an established, built-out suburb: kitchen and bathroom remodels in neighborhoods like Cedar Knolls and Scott Highlands, roof replacements after a hard winter, and the occasional full basement finish. New construction is limited at this point, since the suburb is already built out, so renovation and cleanout work is what's left rather than ground-up building.
Most deliveries in Apple Valley go on an ordinary residential driveway, and the truck needs a straight, level approach to it — narrower lots near Galaxie Commons and Redwood can be tighter than the wider streets further out. Overhead is the main thing to check: the truck raises its bed high to set the container down, so a low tree limb or a line running over the driveway can stop a drop that looked fine from the ground. If your job sits along Cedar Avenue or County Road 42, mention it when you call, since both carry more traffic than the residential streets around them. Apple Valley's driveways run a bit more open than a denser suburb like St. Louis Park, but the same overhead check still applies.
Dumpster Sizes in Apple Valley
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Apple Valley, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard runs $675 to $800 and is the pick when debris is dense: tile, plaster and shingles reach the weight limit long before a bigger container would look full.
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.
Renovation debris — cabinets, drywall, subfloor, trim — is what the 20 yard is built around, at $745 to $860. When two sizes both look right, this is the safer middle.
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.
Commercial jobs and full demolitions book the 40 yard, $915 to $1055. If the approach bends or slopes, ask about running two smaller containers instead.
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 is the same footprint as the 10 with taller walls, which suits bulky-but-light loads: furniture, carpet, a garage that filled itself over a decade.
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.
A 30 yard takes what a whole house sheds in a remodel — cabinetry, doors, carpet, framing offcuts — for $785 to $900. Same footprint as the 20; the extra capacity is all height.
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 Apple Valley, MN
For homeowners
Most household jobs are cleanouts and remodels: furniture, boxes, carpet, cabinets, the layers a house builds up over years. That debris is bulky rather than heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard on a Apple Valley driveway usually covers it, with room left to park beside it.
For contractors
Jobsite debris runs heavier. Shingles, plaster, tile and the mortar bed under it reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half full. Crews on longer builds often run a smaller size and swap it more than once rather than push one load past its allowance, and they stage it where the truck can make a straight approach.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Apple Valley
- 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 Apple Valley, MN?
Dumpster rental pricing in Apple Valley 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 Apple Valley
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $675 – $800 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $745 – $860 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $785 – $900 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $915 – $1055 | — | 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 Apple Valley 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) 880-8163 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 Apple Valley
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
Apple Valley dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Apple Valley dumpster costs range from $675 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1055 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.
Give the driver a level spot, pavement or packed gravel, with a straight approach behind it and nothing overhead. The bed tilts higher than the container stands, so a low branch or a service line can stop the whole drop.
Move cars the night before, unlock any gate on the route in, and mark the spot if you will be out. Plywood under the rails protects a soft or newly sealed driveway. A drop the truck cannot make becomes a trip charge and a new delivery date, which is the outcome all of this avoids.
Exactly when the container lands and how long it stays depends on routing, but ZTERS covers all of Apple Valley, from Scott Highlands and Cedar Knolls to Galaxie Commons, Redwood, and Glendalough. Apple Valley's regular suburban lots and driveways make for straightforward truck access on the drop. We also deliver to the surrounding cities, including Burnsville and Lakeville.
Apple Valley does not require a permit when the dumpster stays entirely on your own driveway or property. Placing it on the street instead requires a permit from the city, since that space is public right-of-way rather than private land, and most residential jobs skip the extra step by staying on the driveway.
It depends where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches Apple Valley moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
If your dumpster needs to sit on the street rather than your own driveway, Apple Valley's city offices handle that permit — check with the city before we deliver. Keeping the container on your own property skips the application step entirely.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
