Dumpster Rental in
Southern Pines, NC
Four container sizes cover most jobs in Southern Pines: 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards. The 10 yard runs $585-$650 for 10 days; the bigger sizes take full remodels and tear-offs.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
The price for every size is printed on this page, the order happens in one phone call, and the container arrives on the date you set. That is the arrangement, whether it is a weekend cleanout or a job site on its third container.
Southern Pines mixes early-1900s homes in the historic core near Campbell House Grounds with newer construction further out toward Sandhills Community College, and the two generate different debris. Older houses tend to shed plaster, lath and heavy trim from renovations, while newer builds produce more drywall and framing offcuts. Golf-course-adjacent properties add their own wrinkle too — landscaping debris from removed shrubs or old irrigation lines alongside the usual remodel waste.
Your street matters more than your house style when it comes to delivery here. Along North Sandhills Boulevard or Midland Road, the truck has plenty of room to pull up and back in straight; on the narrower historic-district streets near Memorial Park, tighter setbacks mean the driver may need to angle in more carefully. Homes near Reservoir Park tend to have longer driveways than the in-town blocks, which helps on tighter jobs. Whatever street you're on, let your account manager know the exact spot you want before delivery day so the driver isn't guessing when the truck arrives.
Dumpster Sizes in Southern Pines
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Southern Pines, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
Smallest of the fleet, the 10 yard takes a bathroom gut or one room's flooring without wasting driveway. $585 to $650, and it leaves space for a car beside it.
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.
The 20 yard is the renovation workhorse, $655 to $720. Cabinets, subfloor and trim from a kitchen and a bath together fit with room to spare.
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.
Nothing bigger goes on a truck. The 40 yard runs $770 to $860 and suits light, high-volume debris; loaded with anything dense it hits the road-weight limit half full.
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 $695 to $765 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 Southern Pines, NC
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 Southern Pines
- 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 Southern Pines, NC?
Dumpster rental pricing in Southern Pines 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 Southern Pines
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $585 – $650 | $525 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $655 – $720 | $425 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $695 – $765 | $422 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $770 – $860 | $545 | 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 Southern Pines 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 (833) 974-8378 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 Southern Pines
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
Southern Pines dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Southern Pines dumpster costs range from $585 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $860 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.
Is there room in the driveway, or does it have to go on the street? In Southern Pines, the driveway is almost always the answer — placing a container along a road like US 1 or NC 211 would block traffic on routes that carry a steady flow through town. Keeping it on private property also means it can stay for the full rental without needing separate approval, so that's where it goes unless a job genuinely has no other option.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Southern Pines 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.
As long as the truck has a clear, straight approach to your driveway or yard, placing a container on your own Southern Pines property doesn't require a permit. A permit only becomes necessary if the container needs to sit in the street or public right-of-way near a spot like Armory Park or anywhere else in town, and that goes through the town's planning department rather than ZTERS.
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.
Almost everything from a renovation or cleanout is accepted. The exceptions come from the disposal facility, not from us: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances with refrigerant still in them.
Heavy masonry, concrete and dirt are allowed but priced by weight, which is worth mentioning at booking instead of discovering at the scale. Unsure about something? Ask before it goes in.
Three things before the truck arrives. Surface: a level spot on pavement or packed gravel, long enough for the container plus a straight run in behind it. Clearance: nothing overhead, because the bed tilts higher than the container stands and a low limb or service line stops the drop cold. Access: move vehicles off the drive the night before and unlock any gate the driver would need.
Plywood under the rails keeps a soft or freshly sealed driveway from marking. Mark the spot if you will not be home. A blocked drop usually turns into a trip charge and a rescheduled delivery, which is the one avoidable cost in the whole rental.
