Short answer: Mr. Cheapee rents 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yard roll-off dumpsters across Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties from its base in Ossining, NY. Same-day delivery is often possible when you call by morning, the standard rental term is seven days, and you can load the dumpster yourself or have our crew load it.
These are the questions Westchester homeowners and contractors ask us most, with straight answers.
1. How fast can I get a dumpster?
Often the same day. Call by morning and we can usually deliver that day. Bookings made through our online booking form start from the next business day, and weekend dates on the form are by request.
2. How long can I keep the dumpster?
The standard rental term is seven days. If you need it longer, ask us for pricing when you book.
3. What dumpster sizes do you have?
10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yard roll-off dumpsters.
4. What size dumpster do I need?
| Size | Typical job |
|---|---|
| 10 yard | Small cleanouts, a bathroom remodel, landscaping debris. Holds about 4 pickup-truck loads. |
| 15 yard | A single-room renovation or a garage cleanout |
| 20 yard | A kitchen remodel or a whole floor of debris. Holds about 8 pickup-truck loads. |
| 30 yard | A whole-house cleanout or major demolition |
| 40 yard | Large construction and demolition projects |
If you are between two sizes, ask us. On a tight street, an oversized dumpster wastes money. More detail: What size dumpster do I need?
5. Will a dumpster fit in my driveway?
Usually, yes. We run compact trucks for the 10 and 15 yard dumpsters, so they fit tight driveways where a 20 or 30 yard will not.
6. Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Westchester?
Not if the dumpster sits on your own property, such as your driveway. If it has to go on the street, check with your town or village first, because each municipality sets its own rules. If you live in a homeowners association, check its rules too. Our guides cover the details: Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Westchester, Putnam or Dutchess?
7. Do I need to be home for delivery or pickup?
It helps, but it is not required. Give clear placement instructions when you book, and keep the dumpster free of obstructions on pickup day.
8. Can you load the dumpster for me?
Yes. You can load it yourself, or our crew can load it for you.
9. What can’t go in the dumpster?
No hazardous waste, liquids, wet paint, propane tanks, tires, batteries, electronics, appliances, asbestos, dirt or medical waste. See the full list and where each item can go instead: What can’t you put in a dumpster in Westchester County?
10. How full can I fill it?
Up to the marked line on the dumpster wall, with the load level. Nothing can stick out of the top. An overloaded dumpster has to be brought down to a safe level before it can be picked up, and extra charges apply.
11. How much does a dumpster rental cost?
The price depends on the size and what you are throwing away. Call us and we will give you a price over the phone, with no hidden charges, or request a free estimate.
12. Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Mr. Cheapee is fully insured, including general liability and workers’ compensation, and we carry demolition insurance. Certificates are available on request.
13. Where does my debris go?
Most of it goes to recycling centers and transfer stations. We recycle paper, wood, metal, plastic and e-waste, and some items are donated. What is left goes to a transfer station or landfill. More: What happens to your junk after pickup.
14. Which areas do you serve?
