We’ve been serving Saratoga County since 1997. What started as a logging operation evolved into full-time excavation in 2020, and we added comprehensive dumpster rental services because our clients needed a single contractor they could trust for both site work and waste management.
Josh is present on almost every job, ensuring quality and building the kind of lasting relationships that make us your go-to contractor for years to come. We’re not trying to be the cheapest option in town—we’re focused on being the most reliable, transparent, and professional choice for homeowners and contractors who value getting things done right the first time.
First, we talk through your project to determine the right dumpster size and understand your timeline. No generic recommendations—we factor in your specific materials, site constraints, and local permit requirements that many out-of-town companies miss.
We handle all the paperwork, including any necessary permits for Saratoga placement. Your dumpster arrives when promised, positioned exactly where you need it, ready for immediate use.
Throughout your rental period, you fill it at your pace while we stay available for any questions or schedule adjustments. When you’re done, one call gets it picked up promptly, leaving your site clean and ready for the next phase of work.

Every dumpster rental includes transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start, and that price doesn’t change unless you request additional services.
We provide dumpsters sized from 10 to 40 yards to handle everything from small bathroom renovations to major construction projects. All containers are professionally maintained, clean, and designed for easy loading from ground level.
Local expertise matters in Saratoga County. We understand the soil conditions that affect placement, the permit requirements that vary by location, and the disposal regulations that keep your project compliant. Plus, our established relationships with local facilities often mean faster turnaround times and better disposal rates than national chains can offer.
Size selection depends on your specific materials and project scope, not generic formulas. A 10-yard dumpster works well for single-room renovations or small cleanouts—think bathroom remodels or garage clearing projects.
For larger jobs like kitchen renovations, roofing projects, or multi-room construction, you’ll typically need a 20-yard container. Major construction projects, whole-house renovations, or commercial work usually require 30 to 40-yard dumpsters.
Heavy materials like concrete or dirt require smaller containers due to weight limits, while bulky but lighter debris like drywall or lumber needs more volume. We factor in your specific materials, site access, and local weight restrictions to recommend the right size and avoid costly overages.
Yes, Saratoga Springs requires dumpster permits for both private property and street placement. If you’re placing the dumpster in the street or public right-of-way, you’ll also need a Right of Way permit from the city’s Code Enforcement Department.
The permit process can be confusing if you’re not familiar with local requirements, and getting it wrong can delay your project or result in fines. We handle all permit applications as part of our service, ensuring everything is properly filed before delivery.
Permit requirements can vary slightly depending on your exact location within Saratoga County, project duration, and dumpster placement. We stay current on all local regulations and work directly with municipal offices to keep your project compliant and moving forward.
Pricing varies based on dumpster size, rental duration, and disposal requirements, but you’ll always get transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Local companies like us typically cost 10% less than broker services and significantly less than national chains.
A 10-yard dumpster for a week typically ranges from $300-450, while 20-yard containers run $400-600, and larger 30-40 yard dumpsters cost $500-750. Heavy materials like concrete may incur additional disposal fees, but we discuss all potential costs upfront.
We include delivery, pickup, and standard disposal in our base pricing. Weight limits, rental extensions, and any special disposal requirements are clearly explained before you commit. No surprise bills, no hidden charges—just straightforward pricing that lets you budget accurately for your project.
Most construction and demolition materials are acceptable, including drywall, lumber, flooring, roofing materials, concrete, brick, and general construction debris. Household items from renovations like old appliances, furniture, and fixtures are also typically fine.
Hazardous materials are prohibited—this includes paint, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, and flammable substances. Electronics and tires usually require special disposal. We provide a complete list of acceptable and prohibited items when you book your rental.
Mixed loads are common in construction projects, and we’re equipped to handle the variety of materials that come from real renovation work. If you’re unsure about specific items, ask before loading rather than risking additional fees or disposal complications.
Same-day or next-day delivery is often possible for standard-sized containers, depending on availability and permit requirements. We keep local inventory specifically to serve Saratoga County projects without delays.
Rush deliveries may incur additional fees, but we work with your timeline whenever possible. For planned projects, booking 2-3 days ahead ensures you get exactly the size and delivery time you need.
Weather conditions, permit processing, and site accessibility can affect delivery timing. We stay in close communication about any potential delays and always have backup options to keep your project moving. Unlike national companies that might reschedule without notice, we’re local and accountable to our community.
Local companies understand Saratoga’s specific permit requirements, disposal regulations, and site challenges that out-of-state operators miss. We know which materials require special handling, where placement restrictions apply, and how to navigate local bureaucracy efficiently.
Response time matters when you’re on a deadline. We’re minutes away, not hours, and we’re available by phone when you need adjustments or have questions. National companies often route calls through distant call centers that can’t provide real-time local solutions.
Pricing transparency is another advantage. National chains and brokers typically add 10-20% markup over local rates, plus they’re more likely to surprise you with fees that weren’t clearly explained upfront. We compete on service and reliability, not hidden charges and fine print.
