A construction dumpster rental in Lexington, KY runs from a 10 yard box for a bathroom tear-out to a 40 yard unit for a full teardown. Lexington Porta Pros prices by size and by how long you keep it, with day, week, and month rates available. Most contractors book a 20 yard for framing and roofing jobs.
Job type drives size. A bathroom or small kitchen remodel usually fits a 10 yard dumpster rental, while a full roof tear-off or garage demo needs a 20 yard dumpster rental or bigger. Whole-house renovations and new builds often call for a 30 yard dumpster rental or a 40 yard dumpster rental. If you are not sure, check dumpster sizes and dimensions before you call, because guessing small means a second delivery fee and guessing big wastes money. Every roll-off, no matter the size, needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck for the driver to set it down without scraping a fence or a parked car. That matters more on tight Lexington lots near downtown than it does out past Man o' War, so measure your driveway or curb space before delivery day. Weight matters too. Heavy debris like shingles or concrete fills a box fast without looking full, so check dumpster weight limits so you do not get hit with overage charges. For active job sites running dumpsters alongside portable toilets and fencing, see construction site services for the full setup.
| unit | duration | low | typical | high |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| dumpster | day | $51 | $75 | $112 |
| dumpster | weekend | $390 | $440 | $497 |
| dumpster | week | $426 | $600 | $778 |
| dumpster | month | $91 | $108 | $500 |
Note that a monthly rate can undercut a weekly one on paper because it is billed differently, so ask Lexington Porta Pros to walk through which duration actually fits your timeline before you sign. Delivery is usually a separate line item, and that fee runs from about $100 to $500 depending on distance and access. For the full cost breakdown by size and debris type, see dumpster rental cost. Contractors comparing construction dumpster rental companies should ask each one whether delivery, pickup, and a set weight allowance are bundled into the quoted price, or charged on top.
Maybe, and it depends on where the box sits. If the dumpster stays on your own driveway or lot, most jobs do not need anything from the city. If it has to sit in the street or blocks a sidewalk, placement in the public right of way needs confirming with Lexington's permitting office before delivery. Do not guess on this one. Check dumpster permit requirements for what to ask when you call, and keep the confirmation on file in case an inspector or a neighbor asks. This is separate from what goes inside the box. Paint cans, tires, batteries, and certain electronics usually cannot go in a roll-off at all, so read what cannot go in a dumpster before your crew starts loading. Getting this wrong after the box is full costs more than a phone call would have.
Most rentals run day, weekend, week, or month, and you pick what matches the job. A bathroom demo might only need a day or a weekend. A full renovation with a longer timeline often makes more sense as a monthly rental, especially with framing, drywall, and flooring debris piling up in stages. Lexington sits within a tight radius of several towns Lexington Porta Pros also serves, including Nicholasville 15.3 miles southwest and Versailles 15.7 miles west, so delivery windows stay short even on job sites just outside the city. If your project runs long and debris keeps coming, swapping a full box for an empty one mid-rental is common on active builds. Pair your roll-off with a construction dumpster rental plan that includes a swap-out schedule if you expect more than one load, and keep temporary fence rental or a chain link temporary fence around the site if the dumpster sits near foot traffic. OSHA 1926.25 requires scrap and debris to be cleared from work areas regularly, and a properly sized dumpster is how most crews stay compliant without extra hauling trips.
A small construction dumpster rental like a 10 yard box typically runs in the same day, week, and month bands as other roll-off sizes, with day rates starting around $51. Exact pricing depends on debris type and rental length. See 10 yard dumpster rental for specifics, or request a quote for your job.
Construction dumpsters are rated for heavier debris like drywall, lumber, and shingles, not household trash. Weight limits and accepted materials differ, so check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading. A regular residential dumpster usually holds lighter, mixed waste instead.
It depends on the site. Right-of-way placement needs confirming with the city before delivery, since driveway placement usually avoids that step entirely. Ask Lexington Porta Pros to check dumpster permit requirements for your address when you book.
Match the size to your debris volume and material weight, not just square footage of the job. A small remodel usually fits a 10 yard box, while a full teardown needs 30 or 40 yards. Review dumpster sizes and dimensions or ask for a size recommendation directly.
Usually not, since driveway and private-lot placement typically skips city permitting. Street or sidewalk placement is the trigger that needs confirming. When in doubt, call ahead. See dumpster permit requirements for the questions to ask before delivery day in Lexington.
