We are open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM, and our location is 281 Chapel St, New Haven, CT 06513.

Guilford deliveries carry no travel fee. That means the online price is your rental price, before only the standard extras described on this page, which are extra days, overweight loads, and mattresses. There is no added surcharge for bringing a container to Guilford, and no separate delivery line item to discover later. What you see when you book is what the rental itself costs.
Projects rarely go exactly as planned, and waste is often the part that surprises people most. A room that looks half empty can fill a container once furniture is dismantled and boxes are emptied. A renovation that starts with a single wall can expand into several rooms. Having a dumpster on site absorbs those surprises, because debris has somewhere to go immediately, and the project can adapt without a disposal crisis in the middle of the work.
Dumpster Rental Prices in Guilford, CT
A 10-yard dumpster costs $449 online and includes 1 ton of debris. A 15-yard dumpster costs $525 and includes 1.5 tons. A 20-yard dumpster costs $599 and includes 2 tons. A concrete-only dumpster costs $499 and includes 3 tons. Every option includes a 14-day rental period, delivery, and pickup, so the price covers the full service, not just the container itself.
If you keep the container longer than fourteen days, additional days are $10 per day. That rate is deliberately modest, because we know that cleanouts and remodels often run a few days over, and a small extension should not become a large bill. If you know you will need more time, tell us as early as you can so we can adjust the pickup schedule and keep the container available for you.
If the load exceeds the included weight, overage is $175 per ton for standard dumpsters and $75 per ton for concrete dumpsters. The weight is measured at the disposal facility, and we will inform you if your load went over. Mattresses cost $75 each, including box springs. Driveway protection boards are free when you request them at booking, and we will place them under the dumpster on delivery to help protect the surface beneath it.
It helps to think in terms of both volume and weight when you compare prices, because the two do not move together. Bulky, light debris fills a container quickly without adding much weight. Dense debris does the opposite, adding weight without filling much space. The size guide below matches common projects to containers, but a short description of your job is often enough for us to recommend a size that balances both factors.
How Dumpster Delivery Works in Guilford
Booking comes first, and it is the step that sets everything else up. Tell us the size, the Guilford address, and your preferred delivery day, online or by phone. We confirm the order and deliver the container to the agreed spot on the scheduled day. Moving cars, trash bins, and other obstacles from the delivery area before we arrive makes placement smoother and faster, and it helps ensure the container ends up exactly where you want it.
Most containers go in a driveway, where they are close to the work and out of the road. A driveway placement keeps loading short and simple, because every load travels only a few steps from the house to the container. If a driveway placement is not possible, reach out before delivery day so we can discuss the alternatives together, rather than trying to solve a placement problem after the truck has arrived.
As a general guide, placement on a public street or sidewalk may require town permission, and any such permission is the customer’s responsibility to obtain. Checking in advance is important, because a container that must be moved after delivery costs time for everyone, and a container that cannot be placed at all can delay a project. We can talk through the options, but the town permission, where required, must be arranged by the customer.
Loading is straightforward once the container is in place. Distribute debris evenly, keep it below the top rim, and do not stack material beside the container. An even, level load is safer to transport and helps avoid pickup delays, while a load that peaks above the rim may need to be leveled before the truck can safely haul it. If you come across an item you are unsure about, call (203) 508-5827 before loading it, because a two-minute question can prevent a costly reload.
Pickup happens when you tell us the container is ready, or at the end of the 14-day period, whichever comes first. We haul it away and take care of disposal, so you do not need to arrange a separate facility or trip. If you finish ahead of schedule, early pickup is no problem. If you need more time, extra days are $10 per day, and a short extension can be arranged with a phone call or an online message.
Common Projects in Guilford
Whole-home and room-by-room cleanouts are a regular reason for a Guilford rental. Sorting a basement, an attic, a garage, or a rental unit is easier when unwanted items can go straight into a container, rather than being staged in a hallway and moved again. Furniture, old appliances without refrigerant, carpet, boxes, books, and general clutter are all typical loads, and two weeks is usually enough to work through them without rushing, even when decisions take time.
Renovations are another major use, and they generate debris in waves. Demolition produces a large amount in a short time, while finishing work produces smaller amounts over a longer period. Kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring projects produce drywall, tile, cabinets, fixtures, and lumber offcuts in large amounts. A dumpster near the work area keeps hallways and driveways clear, and it lets a crew keep demolishing and building instead of stopping to manage debris piles.
Yard and outdoor work also fits well, because its waste is often the most awkward to handle. Branches, brush, fence boards, deck lumber, and shed debris are bulky and hard to move in a personal vehicle, and cutting them down to fit a car takes time that could be spent on the project itself. A container on site turns a multi-trip chore into a single loading job. Roofing tear-offs work the same way, with shingles and underlayment going straight from the work area into the dumpster.
Estate and move-out cleanouts deserve special mention, because they involve more than physical labor. These jobs are emotional as well as practical, and a generous rental period matters. With fourteen days included, families can sort, keep, donate, and discard at a pace that respects both the home and the people involved, rather than forcing every decision into a single weekend.
Commercial and landlord turnovers complete the picture. Offices clearing old furniture, shops refreshing a space, and landlords preparing a unit for new tenants all need a reliable way to remove bulky items, on a schedule that fits business operations. The same prices, rental period, and booking process apply, and delivery can be timed around opening hours and tenant move dates.
Choosing the Right Dumpster Size
The 10-yard container is the compact choice, and it suits jobs where the debris list is short. It holds about three pickup-truck loads and suits a single-room cleanout, a small bathroom project, a light yard cleanup, or a minor roofing repair. Its smaller footprint also fits shorter driveways and tighter properties, where a larger container would be difficult to place.
The 15-yard container is the versatile middle size, holding roughly four to five pickup-truck loads. It is a strong fit for a kitchen remodel, a two-room flooring job, a full garage cleanout, or a medium estate cleanout. Customers who are unsure often land here, because it balances capacity and cost, and because it covers most medium projects without requiring a second container.
The 20-yard container is the largest standard size, at about six pickup-truck loads. It handles whole-home cleanouts, multi-room renovations, and larger construction debris, where several rooms are being cleared at once. When debris will be generated over many days, the larger container prevents mid-project interruptions, and it lets a crew work continuously without pausing to manage a nearly full load.
The concrete-only container is for clean, heavy loads only, and it is priced accordingly at $499 with 3 tons included. It accepts concrete, brick, block, asphalt, and dirt, and nothing else. Do not mix wood, drywall, or household debris into a concrete load, as mixed loads are handled differently at disposal and can incur extra costs. If your project produces both concrete and mixed debris, you may need two containers, or a standard container for the mixed portion.
When you are deciding, think about the sequence of the work as well as the total amount. If demolition happens first, a large amount of debris may arrive on day one, which favors a larger container. If the work is spread over two weeks, with rooms cleared one at a time, a middle size may be enough, because you can load gradually and see how the container fills. Either way, the fourteen-day period is designed to match real timelines.
What You Can Put in the Dumpster
Standard dumpsters accept the debris most projects produce. That includes wood, drywall, plaster, flooring, carpet, tile, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, furniture, yard waste, branches, fencing, shingles, siding, and general household junk. Non-refrigerant appliances are also accepted. If the material came from a cleanup, remodel, or yard job, it is usually accepted, and a quick check with us can confirm any item you are unsure about.
Prohibited items need separate handling, and it is important to keep them out of a standard container. Do not place hazardous materials, paint, solvents, chemicals, oil, batteries, tires, or electronics in a dumpster. Refrigerant-containing appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners, require special handling to recover the refrigerant. Asbestos-containing material must never go into a dumpster. If you are uncertain, call us first, and we will direct you to the correct disposal route.
Watch the weight on dense loads, because it is easy to underestimate. Tile, plaster, and concrete are far heavier than they look, and a container can exceed its included tonnage while still appearing half full. Load heavy items low and spread them out, rather than piling them in one corner. For large amounts of concrete or dirt, the concrete-only dumpster with its 3-ton allowance is usually the economical choice, and it avoids the higher standard overage rate.
Mattresses are accepted at $75 each, including box springs. Count them before booking so your estimate matches the final charge, especially on a cleanout that includes several bedrooms. Loading mattresses flat, early in the rental, makes the best use of space, because they can be layered at the bottom before other debris fills the container around them.
Keep the area around the dumpster clear while you load, and do not leave material stacked beside it. Debris beside a container cannot be collected with it, and it can block the pickup truck. If you find you have more material than the container holds, contact us before pickup so we can discuss a swap or an additional container, rather than leaving extra material on the ground on pickup day.
Costs, Rental Terms, and Fees
To recap the terms in one place: fourteen days are included with every rental. Extra days are $10 per day. Overage is $175 per ton for standard dumpsters and $75 per ton for concrete dumpsters. Mattresses are $75 each. Driveway protection boards are free on request. There is no travel fee for Guilford deliveries, so Guilford customers do not pay an added delivery surcharge.
Keeping costs predictable is mostly about size and loading. Pick a container with a little spare capacity, keep debris under the rim, and keep prohibited items out. If a load includes something unusual, such as a piano, a safe, a hot tub, or a large appliance, mention it when you book so we can confirm acceptance and plan the pickup. A short conversation at booking can prevent most surprises at pickup.
Book online at hippodumpsternewhaven.ourers.com or call (203) 508-5827. We are open from 7 AM to 10 PM daily, and our address is 281 Chapel St, New Haven, CT 06513. We are happy to talk through sizes, placement, timing, and accepted materials before you commit, because a rental that starts with the right information is far more likely to go smoothly.
The rental period itself is worth planning around. Fourteen days is generous for most projects, but it is not unlimited, and it helps to set a loading schedule at the start. If you know that demolition will happen in week one and finishing work in week two, you can load demolition debris first and keep the container available for the smaller amounts that follow, rather than filling it on day one and needing a second container later.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dumpster Rental in Guilford
How much is a dumpster rental in Guilford?
Online prices are $449 for a 10-yard dumpster with 1 ton included, $525 for a 15-yard dumpster with 1.5 tons included, $599 for a 20-yard dumpster with 2 tons included, and $499 for a concrete-only dumpster with 3 tons included. Each rental includes 14 days, delivery, and pickup, and there is no travel fee for Guilford. Standard additions, if they apply, are extra days at $10 per day, overage, and mattresses at $75 each.
How long do I have to fill the dumpster?
Fourteen days are included, starting on delivery day. After that, extra days cost $10 per day. Contact us if you need to extend, and we will update your pickup date. If you finish early, early pickup can also be arranged, so the container does not remain on your property longer than necessary.
What does overage cost?
Overage is $175 per ton above the included weight for standard dumpsters, and $75 per ton above the included weight for concrete dumpsters. The weight is measured at the disposal facility. Loading heavy material evenly and choosing the right container for dense debris are the best ways to avoid overage charges.
Is there a travel fee for Guilford?
No. There is no travel fee for deliveries in Guilford. Guilford is served without an added delivery surcharge, for all four dumpster options.
Are mattresses allowed?
Yes, at $75 per mattress, including box springs. Include the count when you book, so the total is clear. Mattresses are bulky, so loading them flat and early helps make the best use of container space.
Can I protect my driveway?
Yes. Driveway protection boards are free on request. Ask at booking and we will place them at delivery. Boards help distribute weight and reduce scuffing, which is especially useful for heavier loads or longer rentals.
Where can the dumpster be placed?
Driveways are the most common placement, because they keep the container close and off the road. For a public street or sidewalk, check with the town first, since permission may be required. Any permission for a public location is the customer’s responsibility.
What is not allowed in the dumpster?
Hazardous materials, paint, solvents, chemicals, oil, batteries, tires, electronics, refrigerant appliances, and asbestos-containing material are not accepted in a standard dumpster. Call (203) 508-5827 if you have questions about a specific item, and we will advise you on the correct handling.
How do I book?
Book online at hippodumpsternewhaven.ourers.com or call (203) 508-5827. Choose a size and delivery day, provide the delivery address and any placement notes, and we will confirm the order. We are open from 7 AM to 10 PM daily.
How fast can I get a dumpster?
Delivery speed depends on availability and booking time. Booking early in the day improves the chance of prompt delivery, and we will give you a realistic timeframe. If your preferred day is not available, we will offer the earliest practical alternative and confirm it before you commit.
What size should I choose for a kitchen remodel?
A kitchen remodel often fits a 15-yard dumpster, because cabinets, countertops, tile, and drywall add up to a medium load. A small kitchen, or a remodel limited to surfaces, may fit a 10-yard container, while a large kitchen with structural changes may need a 20-yard container. Tell us the scope of the remodel and we can help you decide.
Can I extend my rental?
Yes. Extra days are $10 per day after the included fourteen days. Contact us before the period ends if you need more time, and we will update your pickup date. For a phased project that will run well beyond fourteen days, mention the timeline at booking so we can plan around it.
