Your Project Stays on Schedule

When you rent a dumpster from us, you’re not just getting a container – you’re getting your time back. No more loading up your truck multiple times. No more waiting in line at the transfer station. No more wondering if that debris pile will fit in your vehicle.

You call, we deliver, you fill it up, we haul it away. Simple as that. Your project keeps moving forward while we handle the waste removal part that nobody wants to deal with.

The difference is working with a local company that actually owns the equipment and makes the decisions. When you need to extend your rental or have questions, you’re talking to someone who can actually help you right away.

Local Dumpster Company Waterford

We're the Excavating Company Down the Road

Emerson Excavating and Trucking has been moving dirt and hauling materials around Waterford and the Capital District for years. We know what it’s like to have a project timeline and a budget to stick to.

That’s exactly why we started offering dumpster rentals. Too many times we watched customers get burned by companies that promise one thing and deliver another. Or worse, companies that aren’t even local and just broker out the work while adding their cut to your bill.

We own our equipment, we know the local disposal sites, and we understand what contractors and homeowners actually need. When you call us, you’re talking to people who have been in your shoes.

Dumpster Rental Process Waterford

Three Steps, No Surprises

First, you tell us about your project. What kind of debris are you dealing with? How much space do you have for the container? We’ll recommend the right size and give you a straightforward price that includes delivery, pickup, and disposal.

Next, we deliver your dumpster when we say we will. Our drivers know the area and can place it exactly where you need it without tearing up your driveway or blocking your neighbors.

Finally, when you’re done filling it up, just give us a call. We’ll come pick it up and handle the disposal. If your project runs longer than expected, we can work with you on extending the rental period.

Construction Dumpster Rental Waterford

Built for Real Work

Our roll-off dumpsters handle everything from home cleanouts to construction debris. We’re talking about containers that can take drywall, flooring, roofing materials, furniture, and general household junk without breaking a sweat.

Because we’re in the excavating business, we also understand heavy materials. Need to dispose of concrete, brick, or dirt? We can set you up with the right container and make sure you don’t get hit with surprise overage fees.

We serve residential customers tackling basement cleanouts and garage organization projects, as well as contractors working on everything from kitchen remodels to new construction. The key is matching the right size container to your specific project so you’re not paying for space you don’t need or scrambling to rent a second dumpster.

What size dumpster do I need for my home renovation project?

The size depends on your specific project, but here’s a general guide: A 10-yard dumpster works well for small bathroom remodels or garage cleanouts. A 20-yard container handles most kitchen renovations or basement cleanouts. For whole-room renovations or roofing projects, you’ll likely need a 30-yard dumpster. We always recommend going slightly larger rather than smaller – the price difference is usually minimal compared to the hassle of renting a second container. When you call us, we’ll ask about your project specifics and recommend the right size based on our experience with similar jobs.
Our standard rental period is one week, which works for most projects. If you need it longer, that’s not a problem – we can extend your rental for a reasonable daily rate. We understand that projects don’t always go according to plan, and we’re flexible with timing. The key is just letting us know if you need more time before your pickup date. We’d rather work with you on scheduling than have you feel rushed to finish your project. Many of our customers appreciate this flexibility, especially when they’re doing the work themselves on weekends.
If you’re placing the dumpster on your own property – like your driveway or yard – you typically don’t need a permit in Waterford. However, if you need to place it on the street or any public property, you’ll need to get a permit from the town. We can help guide you through the permit process if needed, since we’re familiar with local requirements. The good news is that most residential customers have enough space on their property to avoid the permit issue entirely. We’ll work with you during delivery to find the best spot that’s convenient for your project and accessible for our truck.
You can dispose of most common household items, construction debris, furniture, appliances, and yard waste. This includes things like drywall, flooring, roofing materials, old furniture, and general household junk. We can’t accept hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, batteries, or anything flammable. Also, we can’t take items like tires, railroad ties, or large amounts of concrete mixed with other debris. If you have questions about specific items, just ask when you call – we’d rather clarify upfront than have issues during pickup. Our goal is to make the process as smooth as possible for you.
Pricing depends on the container size and what you’re disposing of, but we keep our rates competitive with other local companies. The key difference is that you’re getting a straightforward price from us – no broker fees or hidden charges. When you call, we’ll give you an upfront price that includes delivery, pickup, and disposal. We’ve found that many customers have been burned by companies that quote a low price and then add fees for delivery, fuel, or disposal. We believe in transparent pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying from the start.
In most cases, we can deliver within 1-2 days of your call, sometimes even same-day if we have availability. Since we’re local to the Waterford area, we don’t have the scheduling challenges that larger companies face. We understand that project timelines are important, and we do our best to accommodate your schedule. When you call, let us know when you need the dumpster and we’ll work with you to make it happen. Being a local company means we can be more flexible and responsive than the big national chains.
