What this short-term rental page explains

This page covers short-term dumpster rental from MAC Dumpsters in Middle River, MD: one container for one project. It explains what the 14-day rental includes, how the 3DAY code works, and which of our 10, 15 and 20 yard containers fits a quick job. It also covers extra days, permits for a short stay, and how delivery and pickup work, for homeowners, businesses and contractors across the Baltimore area.

When you rent a dumpster, how long do you get it for?

At MAC Dumpsters, you get 14 calendar days with every rental, starting on delivery day and counting weekends. That's included in the $375 to $550 price. If you need it longer, each extra day is $25. If you're done in 3 days or less, code 3DAY takes $50 off.

Two weeks on the calendar

Two weeks is enough for most single projects, including a garage or basement cleanout, a one-room remodel, a roof tear-off or a move-out. The days run on the calendar, not on loading days, so a rainy Tuesday still counts. Call or text when you're done, even if it's day 4, and we'll pick it up.

Single projects that fit a short-term rental

  • Weekend garage or shed cleanout
  • Moving out or moving in
  • One-room remodel
  • Roof tear-off
  • Yard or brush cleanup
  • One-time office or store cleanout
  • A contractor's single job or punch-out

Can I rent a dumpster for just a weekend?

Yes. We don't run the truck on Sundays, so a MAC Dumpsters container dropped on Friday and picked up Monday counts as a 3-day rental, and code 3DAY takes $50 off. That brings a 10 yard to $325, a 15 yard to $400 and a 20 yard to $500. Each still includes its full tonnage, delivery and pickup, with no delivery fee.

How the 3DAY code works

Enter 3DAY when you book online, or mention it when you call. Days count from the day we drop the container off, and the rental has to be 3 days or less to pickup. A Friday drop with a Monday pickup counts as one weekend, since Sunday is a day off for our truck. The code is permanent, not a seasonal sale, and it works on every size.

Planning a 3-day job

Clear the drop spot and line up help before the container arrives, so all three days go to loading. Sort keep, donate and toss piles the week before. Text us for pickup as soon as the last load goes in.

Picking a size for a short job

On a short job, the right size is the one you only book once. Running out of room means a swap-out at the full rental price, which costs more than stepping up a size.

MAC Dumpsters 10 yard roll-off dumpster

10 yard for a weekend in one space

The 10 yard dumpster rental fits one room, a one-car garage or a small roof: about four pickup loads with 1.5 tons included. With 3DAY, it's $325, the least a quick job costs with us.

MAC Dumpsters 15 yard roll-off dumpster

15 yard for most single projects

The mid-size container holds about six pickup loads and includes 2 tons. It's the size our customers book most, and it covers a kitchen or bath tear-out, a basement cleanout or a move-out with room to spare.

MAC Dumpsters 20 yard roll-off dumpster

20 yard for one big push

The largest container we carry holds about eight pickup loads with 3 tons included. Book it when a whole house, a multi-room remodel or a large store cleanout has to happen in one go.

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 can't go in, even for a few days

A short rental follows the same rules as any other. Keep out freon appliances like refrigerators and air conditioners, paint, hazardous materials, and concrete, brick, block, asphalt and dirt. Tires are $15 each, mattresses and box springs $30 each, and e-waste and non-freon appliances $35 each. Our list of what we cannot take has the details.

Permits on a short timeline

On your own driveway or property, most areas we serve need no permit, so a short rental can start as soon as it's delivered. A container on the street needs a right-of-way permit, which you get yourself. That can take longer than the job: in Baltimore City, standard processing is 15 days. If the container has to go on a city street, apply before you book. Our permit rules by jurisdiction page has each area's office.

What happens if I keep a dumpster past 14 days?

Nothing changes except the price. At MAC Dumpsters, each day after day 14 is $25, and the container stays where it is until you call or text for pickup. There's no new rental to book and no second delivery. If the container is also full, a swap-out gives you an empty one with fresh tonnage.

If a short job turns into an ongoing need, such as a business that fills a container every so often, that's our long-term dumpster rental, set up by phone.

Order, load, text us: the short version

Book online and pick your 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 into your spot, and your 14 days start. Load it level with the top edge. An overfilled container may not be hauled until the extra comes off, because loose debris can fall onto the road. Text us when you're done and we'll pick it up. Our page on our delivery process covers the details.

Why short jobs book with MAC

Two weeks come standard

You don't pick a rental length or pay more for a longer one. Every container comes with 14 days, whether you use two of them or all fourteen.

Extra days cost $25, not a new rental

If the job runs over, the container stays and each day adds $25. You won't need to rebook or wait for a second delivery.

The weekend price is printed

With code 3DAY, a 10 yard is $325, a 15 yard $400 and a 20 yard $500 for 3 days or less. You know the number before you book.

A customer on same-day delivery and swaps

I ordered a dumpster and it was delivered the same day within a few hours. Over the course of a week, the dumpster was switched out a few times as they became full. Each time it was picked up and the new one was delivered, the new amount that I would owe was made very clear, but also very fair. A few weeks later, I needed one more dumpster and it was dropped off due to a special circumstance on a Friday afternoon and picked up on a Saturday night. The manager was very helpful and clear about what was allowed to be put in the dumpster and what wasn't allowed in the dumpster. The driver was very helpful in lifting a couple of heavier items that I couldn't lift by myself into the dumpster. Overall, a very convenient and affordable experience.

Short-term dumpster questions

Do you tip dumpster delivery?

You can, but you don't have to. A tip isn't part of the rental price, and MAC Dumpsters customers are welcome to tip the driver if they'd like to.

Can I move a roll off dumpster myself?

No. A roll-off container is too heavy to move by hand and needs the truck. If it's in the wrong spot, call us before you start loading, because a full container is much harder to reposition.

What should I expect for dumpster pick up?

Text or call when you're done, and we'll come back with the truck and haul the container away. Keep the load level with the top edge and keep the path to the container clear. Any weight over the included tons is billed after the load is weighed at the landfill.

Can I get a dumpster the same day I order?

Sometimes. MAC Dumpsters runs one truck, so same-day delivery depends on availability. Order by noon for the best chance at a same-day drop-off.

Does the 3DAY discount work on every size?

Yes. Code 3DAY takes $50 off a 10, 15 or 20 yard rental kept 3 days or less. The included tonnage stays the same.

Reserve your two weeks
