Dumpster Rental in
Mount Pleasant, SC
Roll-off dumpsters delivered anywhere in Mount Pleasant and the rest of Charleston County. Sizes run 10 to 40 yards, and a 10 yard is $605-$680 for a 10-day rental — real local figures, not a teaser rate.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
The $605 starting rate for a 10-yard container covers most Mount Pleasant cleanouts. But the real question is what's coming out of these homes. Remodel work in McLean's Orchard and Boone Grove tends to run heavy. Old tile, plaster, and pressure-treated lumber fills a weight allowance fast. Roof tear-offs around Palmetto Fort add shingles to the mix. A 20-yard handles the typical kitchen remodel. A 30 suits a whole-house purge. When in doubt, the heavier the debris, the smaller the container you want. That rule beats any size guess.
Your delivery day hinges on where exactly the truck can line up. In the older neighborhoods along Coleman Boulevard, the drives are often narrow and canopied by oaks. Check your overhead clearance before anything else. Newer communities like Daniel's Pointe and The Landing have wider concrete driveways that take a container easily. If you live off the connector road, make sure the approach is clear. Walk the route once and look up. That single check saves more headaches than any other.

For jobs that sound small and weigh a lot — tile, plaster, a concrete stoop — the 10 yard is the right call at $605 to $680. Dense debris hits the weight allowance before it ever needs the space.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Most kitchen-plus-bath remodels land in the 20 yard, $675 to $770. It takes the cabinets, counters, subfloor and trim in one go, with the footprint of a delivery truck.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $815 to $920, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard is the same footprint as the 10 with taller walls, which suits bulky-but-light loads: furniture, carpet, a garage that filled itself over a decade.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
When the job is measured in rooms rather than fixtures, the 30 yard at $705 to $790 keeps a crew from waiting on swaps. Save it for bulk; dense debris maxes the allowance early.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Mount Pleasant, SC
For homeowners
House projects throw out more shapes than pounds — mattresses, shelving, bagged clothes, torn-out cabinets. A 10 or 20 yard takes most of them. The exception is tile or plaster work, which runs heavy for its size; mention it when you order and the right container follows.
For contractors
Jobsite debris runs heavier. Shingles, plaster, tile and the mortar bed under it reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half full. Crews on longer builds often run a smaller size and swap it more than once rather than push one load past its allowance, and they stage it where the truck can make a straight approach.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Mount Pleasant
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Mount Pleasant, SC?
Dumpster rental pricing in Mount Pleasant varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Mount Pleasant
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $605 – $680 | $272 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $675 – $770 | $470 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $705 – $790 | $490 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $815 – $920 | $595 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Mount Pleasant address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 664-7740 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Mount Pleasant
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mount Pleasant dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Mount Pleasant dumpster costs range from $605 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $920 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Your street placement depends entirely on the town's right-of-way rules. Mount Pleasant treats it case by case. Main roads like US 17 and Johnnie Dodds Boulevard almost always require a permit. Quieter lanes sometimes slide by. The deciding factor is whether the container blocks a lane, a sidewalk, or sight lines at an intersection. If street placement is your only option, call the town's engineering department before you book. They will tell you what applies to your address.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Mount Pleasant comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
You will need a permit for most dumpster placements in Mount Pleasant. Anything touching a public right-of-way counts. The town's engineering department issues these, not the county. A driveway placement on private property might skip the process. But if the container sits on the street or over a sidewalk, the permit applies. Check with the town office before you order. The truck cannot deliver without it.
Construction debris and household cleanouts both follow the same path here. Apply at the town engineering office. The form asks for your address, the container size, and how long you need it. Most residential permits run a few days to process. Give yourself that lead time before delivery. The office can also tell you whether your HOA has its own rules. Get the town approval first. Then check with your neighborhood association if you have one.
Your delivery covers every corner of Mount Pleasant. From the older streets downtown to the newer developments like McLean's Orchard and Daniel's Pointe. Drivers regularly serve the townhouse communities along Horlbeck Creek. They also handle the single-family neighborhoods out past Palmetto Fort. The route winds through The Preserve and The Hamptons without issue. You are in good company whether you live in The Landing or closer to Charleston. If the truck can reach the driveway, we get there.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
