A roll-off container fixes that. Junk of Chesapeake drops one on your property so you can load demolition debris, old furniture or yard clutter at your own pace.
When is renting a dumpster the right move?
Rent a dumpster when the project makes more bulk waste than your curbside trash can handle over several days. Think old deck boards, torn-out drywall, a gutted bathroom, or years of clutter cleared before a move. A container at the door lets you load as you work, on your schedule.
If you'd rather not do the loading yourself, a haul-away crew can clear the same pile in one visit. If you only have a few bags, you probably don't need either.

How much does a dumpster rental cost in Chesapeake?
A 10-yard dumpster rental in Chesapeake runs $200 to $550 per week with Junk of Chesapeake. That's the range for a seven-day rental of the container. Placement and the type of project move the price within that range.
Phone quotes are ballpark figures built from your address and what's going in the container. The exact price is held until the drop spot has been seen.
What do I need to do before the container arrives?
Before delivery, clear the drop-off area and unlock any gates the truck has to pass. The spot needs to be flat and paved, the truck needs a way to approach it, and overhead clearance has to be adequate. If the spot fails any of those checks, we'll find a different place to set the container.
Look up as well as down, since overhead clearance is part of the check. If the container has to sit on the street instead of your driveway, we check whether the city requires a permit for street placement before delivery.
How does the truck set the container down without damaging my driveway?
Our truck uses a hydraulic lowering system with hydraulic arms to set the container down in place. The arms control the container through the whole placement, so it's lowered onto your pavement rather than dragged across it. The same arms handle pickup.
You don't need to guide anything at delivery. A clear, flat, paved spot is your part; once the container is down, it's yours to fill.
Does a cleanout in Chesapeake need a building permit?
Chesapeake requires a building permit for residential additions and most alterations. A plain cleanout isn't an alteration, but one that turns into opening walls or changing the structure can become one. Confirm permit needs before that happens. The 2021 codes are the ones currently in effect.
What happens when I call to schedule?
Call Junk of Chesapeake with your address and the spot where you'd like the container. Nothing gets booked on that first call; it's for talking through the drop-off. If the spot works, we set the delivery; if it doesn't, we'll say so and look at another place.
What the Work Covers
For work like this, a few of the specifics:
- Back the roll-off truck into position and use its hydraulic system to lower the container onto the boards.
- Check that the container is level and its swing door is accessible, then confirm the rental period and pickup arrangements.
