An estate cleanout empties a whole house at once, so MAC Dumpsters sizes it for volume first. Most estates fit a 15 yard at $450 or a 20 yard at $550, each with 14 days and no delivery fee, and a full container can be switched out for an empty one at the rental price. We deliver across Baltimore City and Baltimore, Harford and Anne Arundel counties from the yard of a Middle River roll-off dumpster company.

What an estate rental includes, in numbers
20 yard $550 about 8 pickup loads includes 3 tons
Book online- $125 per ton over the included weight
- Any overage is weighed at the landfill and billed after the dump
- Swap-outs at the rental price, with fresh included tonnage
- 14 calendar days per container, then $25 per day
- $30 per mattress or box spring, $35 per e-waste item or non-freon appliance

Estimates assume standard 33-gallon trash bags and a full-size pickup bed loaded level with the sides. Actual capacity depends on the material and how it's loaded. Included tonnage applies no matter how full the dumpster looks, and weight over it is billed per ton.
What a whole-house cleanout sends to the curb
A lifetime of household contents
An estate cleanout clears everything the family doesn't keep. That's furniture in every room, beds and mattresses, clothes and linens, kitchen goods, books and papers, and whatever filled the basement, attic and garage over the years. Once the house is empty, some families also pull up old carpet or tear out a dated kitchen before listing.
Cleanouts that follow this pattern:
- Estate cleanout after a death in the family
- Probate property cleanout
- Downsizing a parent's home before a move to assisted living
- Pre-sale cleanout before listing
- Whole-house move-out
- Inherited rental house cleanout
- Hoarding cleanup
What size dumpster do I need for a 3 bedroom house?
A 3 bedroom house with a full basement or garage usually needs a 20 yard dumpster, which holds about eight pickup truck loads. If family has already taken much of the furniture, a 15 yard at about six loads may be enough. At MAC Dumpsters, the 20 yard includes 3 tons for $550, and a swap-out brings a fresh one if the house isn't empty yet.
15 yard for partial clearouts
Book the 15 yard dumpster rental when the family has already taken what they want and you're clearing what's left. It also fits a condo, an apartment, a small rancher or a house that's getting a second pass after an earlier cleanout. Its 4-foot walls are easy to load by hand, which matters when family members are doing the carrying.
20 yard for whole-house volume
Book our largest container when every room, the basement and the garage are going at once. It holds about two more pickup loads than the 15 and includes a full extra ton. For a packed house, one 20 yard is often the whole job, and a swap covers the rest.

Placing the container at a house you don't live in
A dumpster on the house's own driveway or yard usually needs no permit in the counties we serve. If it has to sit on the street, a right-of-way permit is needed, and the person handling the estate gets it. In Baltimore City rowhome blocks, the street is often the only choice, and the standard processing time there is 15 days, so apply early. If the house is in an HOA or condo community, check its rules too. Our permit rules by area page lists who issues permits where.
Our truck typically needs about 50 feet of straight-line room, 12 to 14 feet overhead and 10 to 12 feet of width. Call if the driveway is tight or shared.
Switching out a full container mid-cleanout
A packed house can fill a container before it's empty. When that happens, text or call us. We take the full container to the landfill and set an empty one in the same spot, at the same price as the rental, with fresh tonnage included. You never need room for two containers at once, and the job keeps moving. Our page on scheduling your pickup walks through how a swap is timed. We dispose of every load according to local and state regulations.
How an estate rental works from start to finish
Book online and pick a delivery day, or call (410) 205-5330. Order by noon for the best chance at same-day delivery, depending on availability. Our hook-lift truck slides the container straight back into place at the house. Fill it over your 14 days, ask for a swap if you need one, and text us when you're done so we can pick it up.
Why families and executors use MAC Dumpsters
One spot, as many hauls as it takes
Swap-outs keep a whole-house job on one driveway spot. The full container leaves, an empty one takes its place, and you pay the rental price again with fresh tonnage.
You can run it from out of town
You can book online, pick the delivery day and request pickup by text. For an executor who lives an hour or a state away, that's a cleanout with fewer trips.
Item fees known before you load
Mattresses, box springs, electronics and appliances each have a set fee, published before you book. You can count them in the house and know the total before they go in.
Towns we serve for estate cleanouts
We deliver to Baltimore City and across Baltimore, Harford and Anne Arundel counties, including Rosedale, Nottingham, Joppa and Havre de Grace. No address in that area pays a delivery fee. See where we deliver for every town we serve.
Estate cleanout dumpster questions
Can I rent a dumpster to clean out a parent's house?
Yes. You can book a MAC Dumpsters container for any address we serve, even if you don't live there. Book online with the house's address, and text us when you're ready for pickup.
Can I get a second dumpster for an estate cleanout?
Yes. A second container costs the same as the first. Most estates use a swap-out instead, where we take the full container and drop an empty one in the same spot at the rental price, with fresh tonnage.
Can I put a piano in a dumpster?
Yes, a piano counts as furniture and is accepted. Pianos are heavy, and an upright can weigh several hundred pounds, so it uses a good share of the included tonnage. Use the container's walk-in door instead of lifting it over the side.
How do I get rid of old paint when cleaning out a house?
Keep old paint out of the dumpster, because MAC Dumpsters can't accept it. Set the cans aside and ask your county where it takes household paint. Keep the lids on tight until they're dropped off.
How do you clean out a hoarder house?
Work room by room, starting near the door, and plan on more than one container. A 20 yard with swap-outs is the usual setup, since each full container is replaced at the rental price with fresh tonnage. Wear gloves and a mask, and set aside hazardous materials, paint and freon appliances, which can't go in.
