What Is A Roll Off Dumpster?

A roll-off dumpster is a large, open-top waste container designed for temporary use on residential and commercial cleanup jobs. It gets its name from the way it’s delivered — the dumpster “rolls off” the back of a special truck onto your driveway or job site.

Roll-off dumpsters are ideal for home cleanouts, remodeling projects, construction debris, and other jobs where regular trash pickup just won’t cut it.
