Projects
Plan your project
Cleanouts, remodels, roof tear-offs, fire-season clearing, construction debris, moves and storm cleanup. Each guide covers what the job usually involves, what can’t go in, and the mountain rules that apply.
Our dumpster rents for $250 flat per rental with 24 hours included, then $15 each extra day. Disposal is billed by weight after dumping, so what you load matters more than how full it looks.
Ask Robert about the size: call or text (909) 284-4597.

Each guide covers what the job usually involves, what can’t go in, and the mountain rules that apply, with sources.

Shingles are heavy and disposal is billed by weight. Planning the load, where the dumpster sits on a steep lot, and working around snow.
Read the guide - Defensible space
Defensible space and yard waste
Brush, needles and limbs from fire-safe clearing. What the County asks for, when inspections start, and the free options to use first.
Read the guide - Construction

For builders and owner-builders. Sorting construction and demolition debris and keeping disposal receipts for your permit.
Read the guide - Moving

Send it with your town. Robert will help you plan the load, or tell you whether a haul-away makes more sense.

Junk removal means we load it and haul it away in one visit. Need equipment or materials moved instead? See equipment and material hauling. Both are quoted per job.
Disposal by weight
What drives the disposal charge
The rental is the same flat price whatever the project. Disposal is billed by weight after the load is dumped, at 6–9¢ per lb depending on material, so heavy debris costs more to dispose of than a bulky but light load.
See how pricing works or our dumpster rental.
- Cabin and home cleanouts
- Furniture, boxes and household clutter are bulky but mostly light. Wet carpet, books and anything soaked add weight.
- Remodels and renovations
- Cabinets, drywall and trim are bulky. Tile, plaster, stone counters and concrete are heavy, so mention them when you book.
- Roofing tear-offs
- Shingles are dense, and every layer coming off adds weight. Tell Robert the roof’s size and layers before the crew starts.
- Defensible space and yard waste
- Brush, needles and limbs are bulky but light. Logs and stumps add weight fast, and green waste needs a call first.
- Construction debris
- Framing scrap, drywall and tear-out take up room before they get heavy. Concrete, tile and dirt are the opposite: call first.
- Moving and downsizing
- What’s left after a move is usually furniture, boxes and garage clutter: bulky, but mostly light.
- Storm and tree debris
- Branches and brush are bulky but light. Logs, big rounds and waterlogged debris are heavy, so ask first.

Every project
Before you load
These rules apply whatever the job. Each project guide goes into the ones that matter most for it.
The full list of what goes in, what stays out and what to ask about first is on what can go in the dumpster.
Hazardous items stay out
California bans paint, solvents, pesticides, motor oil, propane tanks, batteries, fluorescent bulbs and electronics from the trash. Residents can drop them at County Fire household hazardous waste sites.
Treated wood goes separately
Old deck boards, fence posts and landscape timbers are regulated as treated wood waste. The County’s mountain transfer stations do not accept it, so tell us before it goes in.
Older or burned buildings need an asbestos check
County landfills and transfer stations require an asbestos certification for demolition debris from structures built before 1984 and from any burned structure.
The dumpster goes on your property
A dumpster in a County road or a Big Bear Lake street needs an encroachment permit from the road owner. Plan a firm, level spot on your driveway or lot.
Cut long pieces to 4 feet
That is the length limit at the County’s transfer stations, and the way green-waste drop-offs want branches bundled too.
Snow season changes the plan
Snow rules on mountain streets generally run October 15 to April 15, and chain controls cover vehicles towing trailers. Keep a shoveled spot and a clear path to the dumpster.
Questions
Project questions
What size is the dumpster?
Ask Robert about the size: call or text (909) 284-4597.
Not sure it fits your job? Text Robert a photo. Include your town and what is going in.
How does delivery and pickup work?
Robert brings the dumpster on a trailer behind his pickup and sets it on your driveway or property. When your rental is up, he picks it up and hauls the load away to be dumped and weighed.
Tell Robert about steep grades, tight turns, and low limbs or wires over the spot. He confirms the day with you by call or text.
Should I rent a dumpster or book junk removal?
Rent a dumpster if you will load it yourself over a day or more and want to work at your own pace. Book junk removal if you want it gone in one visit and would rather we do the lifting. If you need equipment or materials moved instead, that is our hauling service. Junk removal and hauling are quoted per job.
How is disposal billed on a dumpster rental?
Disposal is billed separately by weight after the load is dumped, at 6–9¢ per lb depending on material. Heavy debris like shingles, tile, concrete and dirt adds up fast, so tell us what is going in when you book.
Can the dumpster go in the street?
Plan on your driveway or your own property. A dumpster in a County road or a Big Bear Lake street needs an encroachment permit from whoever owns the road, and County mountain guidelines keep building materials out of road shoulders so snowplows can get through.
Tell us the job.
We’ll help you plan the load.
