Where this homeowner page takes you

This page is for homeowners in the Baltimore area planning a dumpster rental with MAC Dumpsters of Middle River, MD. It walks through how a rental runs from order to pickup, then eight common house projects with the size each one needs and why. It covers where the container sits, street permits and fitting a job into 14 days, and points to our guides for yard work and whole-house cleanouts.

How does dumpster rental work?

You pick a size, we set the container where you want it, you load it for up to 14 days, and we haul it away when you text us. At MAC Dumpsters, the price covers delivery, pickup and the included tonnage, with no delivery fee. Weight over the included tons is billed at $125 per ton after the load is weighed at the landfill. We dispose of every load according to local and state regulations.

Here's how that plays out at your house:

  1. 1. Book. Order online through our cart and pick your delivery day, or call (410) 205-5330. Order by noon for the best chance at same-day delivery, depending on availability.
  2. 2. Delivery. Our driver backs the hook-lift truck in and slides the container into the spot you picked.
  3. 3. Load. Fill it at your own pace, level with the top edge. The walk-in door lets you roll furniture straight in.
  4. 4. Text us. When you're done, send a text to the same number and we'll put you on the schedule.
  5. 5. Pickup. The container leaves on our truck. Any overage is billed after the dump, and nothing else is added.

Home projects and the dumpster each one needs

Here are eight house jobs we see all the time, what each one throws out, and the size we'd send. For how home debris weighs and what can't go in, our residential dumpster rental guide goes deeper.

Garage cleanout

A garage gives up old bikes, broken shelving, boxes and lawn furniture nobody sits in anymore. It's bulky and light, so you'll run out of room before weight. A one-car garage fits a 10 yard dumpster, about four pickup loads. A packed two-car garage is a 15 yard job.

Attic cleanout

Attic loads come down a ladder or a narrow stair, so they arrive in small, light armfuls: boxes, old luggage, holiday bins and a broken lamp or two. Almost none of it is heavy. The 10 yard roll-off handles most attics, and at 12 feet long, it fits a short driveway.

Basement cleanout

Basements hold the heavier household things: an old sofa, a treadmill, metal shelving and carpet that got wet once. Damp items weigh more than they look. A 15 yard dumpster rental gives you about six pickup loads and 2 tons. An old dehumidifier or basement fridge has freon and has to stay out.

Moving out or downsizing

A move sorts the house into keep, donate and toss, and the toss pile is mostly furniture, mattresses and boxes. Mattresses and box springs go in at $30 each, but kitchen trash and bagged household garbage go out with your regular collection. Most single-family moves fit the 15 yard container, and a small apartment or rowhome may only need a 10.

Seasonal and holiday clear-outs

After the holidays or at the change of seasons, out go the artificial tree, broken decorations, cardboard and tired patio furniture. It's usually a weekend of work. A 10 yard for a quick clear-out kept 3 days or less takes $50 off with code 3DAY.

The honey-do backlog

This is the list that never got done: the rotted deck section, the broken swing set, a leaning shed, a few old doors and the toilet from the half bath. It's a dense, mixed load. The 15 yard gives it 2 tons to work with. Leave any concrete footings on fence or deck posts out of the container.

Spring cleaning

Spring cleaning takes a little from every room at once: closets, the kids' old toys, a spare bed frame, the rug in the den. One room is a small load, but a whole house adds up. The 15 yard size fits a full-house clean, and it's the size our customers rent most.

Kitchen and bath remodel

A tear-out sends cabinets, countertops, drywall, flooring, a vanity and fixtures out the door, and that debris hits its weight fast. One kitchen or one bathroom fits a 15 yard roll-off dumpster with 2 tons included. Doing both rooms at once usually calls for a 20 yard with 3 tons.

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 to sort out before the truck comes

Where the container will sit

Most homeowners put it in the driveway, as close to the door they'll carry things out of as the truck can reach. Our truck typically needs about 50 feet of straight-line room to back in, 12 to 14 feet overhead and 10 to 12 feet of width. That's total working room, not driveway length, so call if your spot is tight. We can set it on any surface except inside Bel Air town limits, where grass and other pervious surfaces are off limits. Our guide to placement and clearance shows how to measure.

When it has to go on the street

A container on your own driveway or lot needs no permit in Baltimore County, unincorporated Harford County or Anne Arundel County. A container on the street does, and the homeowner gets that permit. In Baltimore City rowhome blocks, the street is often the only spot, so check our permit guide by area before you book.

Fitting the job into 14 days

The rental clock starts the day we deliver, and weekends count. Book the drop for the day you're ready to start loading, not the week before. If the job is only a weekend, a short-term dumpster rental with code 3DAY saves $50. Our truck doesn't run Sundays, so a Friday drop with a Monday pickup still counts as 3 days.

What is the cheapest way to get rid of household junk?

It depends on how much you have. A few items can go out with your local trash service's bulk pickup, if it offers one, or on a trip to a drop-off site. Once you're past a couple of pickup loads, a dumpster you load yourself usually costs less than paying a crew by the load or making repeat dump runs. A 10 yard from MAC Dumpsters is $375 for about four pickup loads.

Everyday household garbage isn't part of that math. Kitchen trash and bagged garbage belong with your regular trash collection, not in a roll-off. We drop off and haul the container, and you do the loading. The only charges that can be added are published: $125 per ton over, $25 per day after day 14, $15 per tire, $30 per mattress or box spring, and $35 per TV, computer or non-freon appliance. See every rate on our dumpster prices and fees page.

Yard work, a parent's house and other big jobs

Brush, fallen limbs, stumps and sod are their own kind of load, and our yard waste dumpster rental page sizes them. Clearing out a parent's house or settling an estate is a bigger job than any single room, and our estate cleanout dumpsters page covers it, including swap-outs when one container isn't enough.

What homeowners get from MAC Dumpsters

Run by the Grafs, not a call center

The people who answer the phone own the company. Questions about what goes in or where the container sits get a straight answer from the owners.

Grass, gravel or pavement

Outside Bel Air town limits, we can set the container on any surface. A gravel pad, a side yard or a lawn all work.

One rental for the whole to-do list

Fourteen days is enough to clear the garage, pull the old deck and empty the attic on one rental. Line the jobs up and fill one container instead of renting three.

Homeowner dumpster questions

What should I remove first when decluttering?

Start with the easy calls: broken things and anything you already know you won't keep. Then move the big pieces, like old furniture, because clearing them frees up room to sort the rest. Set donations aside early so nothing you meant to give away ends up in the container.

How do you get rid of old duvets and pillows?

Clean ones can often go to an animal shelter or a textile drop-off. Worn-out duvets and pillows can go in a MAC Dumpsters container with the rest of your household junk, with no extra fee. Bag them so they pack down tight.

Can I leave furniture on the curb?

Only if your local trash service allows it. Bulk item rules differ by county and city, and some require a scheduled pickup. Furniture set out without permission can be treated as illegal dumping. A rented dumpster keeps it on your own property until it's hauled.

What is the 12-12-12 rule for decluttering?

It's a quick decluttering method: find 12 things to throw away, 12 to donate and 12 to put back where they belong. It works well on a single room or closet. Repeat it a few times before a move, and the throw-away pile can fill a small dumpster.

How much does it cost to rent a dumpster for a week?

At MAC Dumpsters, a week costs the same as two, because every rental includes 14 days. A 10 yard is $375, a 15 yard is $450 and a 20 yard is $550, with no delivery fee. Finish in 3 days or less and code 3DAY takes $50 off.
