Three steps, one conversation

1

Schedule it

Dial (402) 226-8078 or tap any button on this page. Let us know the job and the date — we lock in the size and placement while you're still on the call.

2

We drop off

We place the container right where you want it, boards underneath, door oriented the way you specified. You don't need to be there.

3

We pick up

Give us a call or text when you're finished loading. We come grab it and haul everything out, typically the next business day.

Six reasons Lincoln trusts us

Licensed and insured

Full insurance coverage for residential and commercial jobs in NE. We'll send a certificate on request.

Correct size on the first try

Describe the project and we'll recommend the container, including when a smaller one is all you need.

A full week included

Seven days on site comes with every rental, and scheduling the pickup takes one text.

Owner-operated, never brokered

You speak directly with the people who own the trucks — not a call center in another state.

Same-day drop when you call early

Place your order before 1pm and we can usually get a container to your driveway that same afternoon.

Your driveway stays protected

Our drivers place boards beneath the rails every time, before the container ever touches your surface.

What you can load in the container

Allowed

General household junk and furniture
Renovation and demolition debris
Asphalt and composition shingles
Dimensional lumber, plywood and trim boards
Drywall, sheetrock and plaster
Carpet, underlayment and floor coverings

Note: yard waste, soil, concrete and brick weigh too much for a mixed load and require a dedicated heavy-debris container — Call (402) 226-8078 and we'll bring the right one.

Owner-operated, never brokered

Greta Devenish has spent 13 years hauling debris across Lincoln — first driving for somebody else, now running their own operation. When you dial (402) 226-8078, you reach the family that owns the containers, drives the routes and picks up the phone on Saturday mornings.

A lot of dumpster websites are middlemen who hand your job off to whoever is available. We are the crew that actually pulls up.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly do you place the container?
Wherever our truck can safely access — your driveway, a side yard, or curbside with a permit. Just let us know which direction you want the door to face and we'll position it accordingly.
Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It handles everything from a kitchen renovation to a full-home cleanout, and it's the container we drop off most often in Lincoln. If your project calls for less, we'll let you know and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
Is same-day delivery available?
In most cases, yes — call before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's run. Orders placed after 1pm go on the first route the following morning.
What materials are allowed in the dumpster?
Household junk, furniture, renovation debris, shingles, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard waste, soil and concrete go in a separate heavy-debris container.
Will I need a permit in Lincoln?
Not if the container sits on a private driveway. If it has to go on a public street, Lincoln requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the exact office to contact.
