Dumpster Rental in
Richfield, MN
Roll-off dumpsters delivered anywhere in Richfield and the rest of Hennepin County. Sizes run 10 to 40 yards, and a 10 yard is $675-$800 for a 10-day rental — real local figures, not a teaser rate.
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.
Richfield's housing stock is mostly post-war, one-and-a-half story homes on modest lots in neighborhoods like Windom, Kenny and Diamond Lake, and that shapes what a rental here usually means: a kitchen or basement remodel, a roof tear-off, or clearing out a rambler before a sale. Smaller lots and older driveways keep the 10 or 20 yard the practical fit; it's the bigger remodels and full gut jobs that reach for a 30.
Delivery is straightforward on Richfield's driveways, most of them wide enough for a straight backup off streets like Crosstown Highway or Hiawatha Avenue without much maneuvering. In older sections near Armatage and Wenonah the garages sit close to the house, so the truck needs the full width of the drive rather than a corner of it. A container near Augsburg Park or Stark's Pond means the ground can stay soft after rain, so a level, cleared spot matters more than usual there. Look up before delivery day — the truck raises its bed to set the container down, and overhead lines catch more Richfield garages than driveways do. Confirm your spot is clear and level, and the drop itself takes minutes.
Dumpster Sizes in Richfield
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Richfield, 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 $675 to $800 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 runs $745 to $860: room for a whole floor's recarpeting, a roof tear-off within its weight allowance, or the accumulated half of a basement.
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.
The 40 yard is the largest we place, $915 to $1055. Demolition volume. Check the approach before you order one, because it needs a long straight run.
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, $785 to $900, is for volume: full-house clearouts, siding jobs, framing scrap. Bulky and light is its business; dense material belongs in a smaller size.
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 Richfield, MN
For homeowners
House projects throw out more shapes than pounds — mattresses, shelving, bagged clothes, torn-out cabinets. A 10 or 20 yard takes most of them. The exception is tile or plaster work, which runs heavy for its size; mention it when you order and the right container follows.
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 Richfield
- 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 Richfield, MN?
Dumpster rental pricing in Richfield 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 Richfield
| 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 Richfield 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 Richfield
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
Richfield dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Richfield 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.
Roof tear-offs and kitchen remodels leave the debris ZTERS most often hauls out of Richfield, delivered from Windom and Kenny in the west to Diamond Lake, Armatage and Wenonah near the Minneapolis line. Drivers work driveways near Little Bob's Park and Commons Pond as often as ones backing up to Legion Lake or Grass Lake, and the same coverage runs into neighboring Bloomington.
Measure the job by its debris, not its square footage. One bathroom or a single room of flooring is a 10. A full kitchen, cabinets and counters included, fills a 20. Whole-floor gut jobs and big cleanouts run to a 30.
The larger sizes share the same footprint and only grow taller, so a bigger container does not need a bigger driveway. The exception is heavy material: shingles, tile, concrete or dirt hit the weight limit long before the container looks full, so mention them when you call and let the tonnage set the size.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Richfield 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.
Street placement in Richfield generally needs a permit from the city, since a container sitting in the right-of-way affects parking and snow routes. Driveway placement is simpler and is what most deliveries near Kenny and Windom use — no permit required, no clock ticking on a city right-of-way. Streets like MN 55 or Snelling Avenue can also affect where a driver approaches from, even when the container itself lands in the driveway.
A permit is typically required if the dumpster sits in the street or public right-of-way in Richfield; placement fully on a private driveway usually does not need one. The city's public works department issues right-of-way permits, and it's worth checking before a drop near Augsburg Park where curb space is tighter than elsewhere in town.
Right-of-way permits in Richfield are handled through the city's public works or engineering office, not through ZTERS. If your delivery spot is on private property — a driveway off a street like MN 62 — no permit applies at all, and that covers most residential rentals in town.
