Straight answer: both the 15-yard ($225–$375) and the 20-yard ($375–$575) rent at a flat 24-hour rate, with 2 tons of weight included in each — a cited market range, not our quote. Here is the full breakdown, the same structure behind our dumpster rental page, so you can ballpark your rental before you ever pick up the phone.
Two driveway-friendly sizes, each with 2 tons of weight included and delivery plus pickup built in. One quick call gets you the current flat rate for your dates.
Both sizes include 2 tons (4,000 lbs) of weight, plus delivery and pickup. Rental periods run from 24 hours to 4 weeks. Your specific, no-obligation estimate is always free.
Four things move the number. Container size sets the base rate, and the other three only matter in specific situations.
Both sizes carry a flat 24-hour rate. The 20-yard holds more, so it costs more, but both come with the same 2-ton weight allowance. Most Boise garage cleanouts and small remodels fit the 15, and whole-house jobs usually need the 20.
The base rate covers a 24-hour window. Keep the box longer and each extra day is a modest flat rate, confirmed when you call. A full week is typically $311–$450 for the 15-yard and $450–$718 for the 20-yard (a market range; your exact price is confirmed when you call). If your project spans several weekends, the one-week rental usually beats paying by the day.
Both sizes ship with 2 tons (4,000 lbs) of weight built in. If you load heavy material like roofing shingles, concrete, or dirt and go over, the extra weight is prorated per ton. Light household junk rarely approaches the limit.
Fill the box before the job is done? A swap-out brings a fresh container and hauls the full one away for the same flat rate as an additional dump. That's billed the same, and it matters most on long renovations that produce debris steadily.
You hear a firm, upfront price before the dumpster is delivered. Delivery and pickup are included, 2 tons of weight is included, and there are no hidden fees.
Both get junk off your property. They solve different problems, and the sticker price is not the whole story.
| Dumpster rental | Full-service junk removal | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the lifting | You. Every item, down the stairs, over the dumpster wall, on your schedule. | The crew. You point, we carry it out from anywhere in the home and load it. |
| Time on your property | 24 hours to 4 weeks. The box sits in the driveway while you fill it. | One visit. Loaded, swept, and gone by the time the crew pulls away. |
| How pricing works | Flat rate by size, 2 tons of weight included. Extra weight and days are add-ons. | By the space your stuff takes in the truck. Pay only for what you actually have. |
| Best for | Long DIY projects that produce debris over days or weeks: renovations, roofing, estate cleanouts. | Cleanouts, furniture, appliances: jobs where the stuff already exists and you want it gone now. |
| Sorting and disposal | Everything goes in the box together. Sorting is on you. | We sort as we go: donate first, recycle what we can, then the transfer station. |
Short version: if you are demoing a kitchen over three weekends, rent the dumpster. If the junk already exists and you would rather not carry it yourself, full-service junk removal usually wins on total cost of time and labor. See the full junk removal cost guide for those ranges.

Either way, the final step is the same: we confirm the size, the rental period, and the price before the dumpster is delivered, and you approve it before anything shows up in your driveway.
