Yard Waste Dumpster Rental in Des Moines

Which Roll-Off size fits your project? We manage yard waste for homeowners in Des Moines and across Polk—always paired with our residential cleanout coordination for your property maintenance.

Branch and Brush Yard Debris Dumpster Rental

Hooklift trucks deliver a Roll-Off Dumpster Rental across Des Moines for branch, brush, and hedge cleanups; our drivers set the container on boards—this allows for stable wheelbarrow loading for you.

10-yard yard waste roll-off

A 10-yard bin holds about three pickup loads, measuring roughly 12 feet long by 8 feet wide and 3.5 feet high, and the rental cost is covered by our landscape debris flat pricing, so there are no surprises at pickup.

A natural fit for a single tree trim, a hedge, or a brush pile: this 10-yard bin has low side walls so that you can wheelbarrow loading—check the yard debris container sizing guide.

15-yard yard waste roll-off

The 15-yard roll-off 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. You can check our yard waste dumpster service area coverage for local delivery.

The 15-yard is the most popular size across Des Moines for a full-yard fall leaf cleanup, a storm-damaged tree, or a landscape overhaul; the EPA home composting and yard waste guide helps.

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 taller walls keep material from spilling over the side.

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 bagged debris in the container.

Leaf, Sod, and Landscape Disposal Containers

Loose leaves and raking debris fill a 15-yard bin easily; however, heavy sod and soil shift the load. A Des Moines homeowner often fills this container for spring or fall Roll-Off Rental.

Sod and wet topsoil reach the weight limit faster than lighter yard debris; a 20-yard container levels the field—making our Roll-off Container Rental the right choice for hauling mixed loads.

Rental day-rates for this container match a Residential Dumpster Rental; you pay the daily fee, plus a dump fee at the transfer station. Wet sod adds weight to the roll-off, unlike dry leaves.

Seasonal Cleanup Container Scheduling

Dispatch coordinates roll-off movements across Polk using hooklift trucks; this ensures that a back-to-back project does not stall if a mid-week fill occurs while you are working through the season.

Spring

Post-thaw cleanup

April through May covers winter dieback, perennial cutback, and the first major mow: we set a 10-Yard Container for this 5-Day Rental window. A quick swap-out keeps the second load moving.

Summer

Storm-response dispatch

High winds and hail drop heavy branches without warning across Des Moines; our dispatch holds same-week capacity, so a downed limb does not sit waiting outside your Roll-Off.

Fall

Leaf-haul window

October and November leaf raking and shrub cutback debris fill our schedule quickly; reserving a 15-yard or 20-yard container two weeks ahead helps you lock in the right match for your fall cleanup project.

Winter

Tree-removal projects

Dormant-season work continues with Dormant Tree Work and Post-Storm Cleanup; drivers route around snowpack and set the container level on Driveway Boards for safe loading.

Weight Planning for Wet Leaves and Soil

Wet leaves and topsoil push your tonnage over the weight limit quickly; our drivers level every container on Driveway Boards—ensuring an even load that stays safely under the weight cap.

Loads approaching the weight cap require a mid-rental swap-out; dispatch can arrange this to keep your project on schedule. We weigh every bin at the transfer station—the ticket confirms your load.

Wet soil and saturated leaves carry more weight than dry brush—the included weight cap on a 15-yard fills much faster during a rainy week than during a dry 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. We do not accept painted lumber, treated wood, or chemicals.

Small stumps under 6 inches in diameter ride in a roll-off with brush; however, a large root ball requires a separate dirt-rated container because that density will weigh out a yard-waste bin fast. Please note—food scraps and compost belong in residential bins, not in the rental container on your property.

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
