Dumpster Rental in
Montevideo, MN

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.
Montevideo sits in southwestern Minnesota and mixes town renovations with agricultural acreage. A kitchen remodel or roof job in the residential sections needs a 20 or 30. Farm-scale work or a full property clear often calls for a 40 to manage density and weight.
Drops in Montevideo land on standard driveways in town or on farm drives and gravel yards outside it. MN 29 and the county routes are firm enough for the truck. The approach needs about 60 feet straight, which most properties have. Walk the route before delivery and mark the spot if gate width is tight.
Dumpster Sizes in Montevideo
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Montevideo, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard is the short container: one room stripped out, a bathroom gut, a small shed. It runs $685 to $804 and sits on a single driveway width.
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.
The 20 yard, $785 to $885, is the size crews default to: big enough for a full-room gut, small enough that the drive still works around it.
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.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $940 to $1085, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
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 suits estate cleanouts and downsizing jobs — volume without much weight — and sits in the same driveway slot the smaller container uses.
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.
The 30 yard is the clearout size: attic, basement and garage in one container, $815 to $920. Tall sides add capacity, not weight allowance, so concrete and dirt still price by weight.
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 Montevideo, MN
For homeowners
For a homeowner, the container usually lands on the driveway and holds a cleanout or a remodel: old furniture, drywall, flooring, the contents of a packed garage. Light, awkward material fills space long before it hits a weight limit, so pick the size by volume and load the big pieces flat.
For contractors
A jobsite container earns its keep on turnaround. One account manager handles the drops and swaps, the size tracks what the phase produces, and the staging spot needs a straight approach so a loaded truck is not threading parked equipment. Heavy phases go in smaller containers loaded level.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Montevideo
- 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 Montevideo, MN?
Dumpster rental pricing in Montevideo 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 Montevideo
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $685 – $804 | $115 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $785 – $885 | $115 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $815 – $920 | $145 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $940 – $1085 | $110 | 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 Montevideo 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 Montevideo
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
Montevideo dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Montevideo dumpster costs range from $685 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1085 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.
Montevideo requires a permit for roll-off dumpster placement. Contact the city with your location and planned dates. Residential permits usually process within a few days.
The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances that still hold refrigerant.
Everything else from a normal renovation or cleanout is fine. Concrete, brick and dirt are accepted but priced by weight, so mention them when you book rather than at pickup. If you are unsure about an item, ask before it goes over the rail — it is a shorter conversation than an unloading fee.
Call Montevideo City Hall with your job location, type, and dates. They issue the permit and can answer timing questions. A few days' notice covers most residential work.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Montevideo comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Contractors handling a full property clear in Montevideo sometimes need street placement when a farm drive won't fit the truck, while homeowners doing a kitchen or roof job almost always keep the container on their own driveway. Street placement is possible on main roads if your location qualifies — call the city first to confirm. Most residential drops land on private property without issue.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
