Specialty Pricing
Roofing & Construction Dumpster Rental
The 17 yard is available in dedicated roofing and construction pricing tiers — because shingles and demolition debris are far denser than household junk, and the included tonnage should reflect that.
Roofing Dumpster Rental
Tearing off a roof?
The 17 yard roofing dumpster includes 4 tons — the most included weight of any roofing bin we offer. Ideal for larger residential roofs and multi-square tear-offs. Overage is $55 / Ton/ton, lower than the general rate.
From $430 / 3 days
4 tons included
$55 / Ton overage
Construction & Remodel Dumpster Rental
Doing demo or renovation work?
Drywall, tile, lumber, and fixtures are heavier than household junk. The construction and remodel tier for the 17 yard includes more tonnage upfront and a lower overage rate — the most popular size for kitchen gut-outs and multi-room remodels.
From $300 / 3 days
2 Tons included
$65 / Ton overage
Not sure which tier fits? If you're mixing household junk with renovation debris, general pricing is fine. If it's mostly roofing or demo material, a specialty tier saves you money on overages. Text us your project and we'll tell you exactly what to book →
Why It's the Most Popular
The right size for most residential projects
The 17 yard hits the sweet spot between capacity and footprint. More room than the 12 yard, same driveway fit as our larger bins — without the higher price tag of the 21 or 25.
This bin is the right call when you need…
✓Enough volume to finish in one haul — 16.92 cu yd handles most single-room to whole-house projects without swapping bins
✓A bin that fits a standard driveway — the 17 is only 4 feet longer than the 12, fits comfortably in driveways across West Michigan
✓A low loading height — at just 48″ tall, easy to toss debris in without a ladder or step stool
✓Driveway-safe placement — every rental includes HDPE driveway protection boards (Rolliskate™) at no extra charge
✓Specialty pricing tiers — dedicated roofing dumpster and construction dumpster pricing with more tonnage built in
Best for these projects
✓Roofing tear-offs & shingle removal (roofing tier recommended)
✓Kitchen & bathroom remodels (construction tier available)
✓Garage & basement cleanouts
✓Whole-house estate cleanouts
✓Furniture, drywall & household debris
✓Siding removal & light demo
Tip on weight: Even though the 17 yard is popular for roofing, shingles add up fast. For a larger tear-off, the roofing tier's 4 tons of included weight is the right call. Use our roofing calculator to estimate your haul before booking. For remodel jobs, the construction tier protects against overage on dense debris.
Included with Every Rental
HDPE Driveway Protection
Every dumpster we deliver sits on HDPE driveway protection boards (Rolliskate™) — not wood blocks. High-density polyethylene is softer than both asphalt and concrete, protecting your driveway from gouges, impressions, and weight damage. No extra charge. No request needed.
✓Distributes the bin's weight across a larger surface area
✓Safe for concrete, asphalt, and lawn placement
✓Won't splinter, crack, or grind grit into your surface like wood does

Questions
17 Yard Dumpster FAQs
Yes — the 17 yard is one of two bins available in our dedicated roofing dumpster rental tier (the other is the 12 yard). The 17 yard roofing tier includes 4 tons — the most of any roofing bin we offer — ideal for larger residential roofs and multi-square tear-offs. Overage is billed at $55 / Ton/ton. It starts at $430 for 3 days. See roofing dumpster pricing and our tear-off calculator →
Yes — the 17 yard is our most popular size for kitchen gut-outs, bathroom demos, and remodel projects in that tier. The construction and remodel dumpster pricing includes 2 Tons and bills overages at $65 / Ton/ton — less than the general rate. It starts at $300 for 3 days. See construction & remodel dumpster pricing →
It covers the full range of typical residential projects — garage cleanouts, bathroom remodels, roofing tear-offs, siding work — without needing a swap or a second bin. Only 4 feet longer than our 12 yard, fits most standard driveways. The low 48″ wall height makes it easy to toss debris in without a step stool. At $295 it's the value choice for most homeowners, and specialty tiers are available for roofing and construction jobs.
In most cases, yes. The 17 yard's footprint is 93″ wide by 204″ long — roughly 8 feet wide by 17 feet long. A standard two-car driveway handles it comfortably. We include HDPE driveway protection boards (Rolliskate™) under every bin to protect your surface. If your driveway is tight, text us a photo at (616) 350-0514 and we'll tell you exactly what will fit.
It depends on roof size and whether weight or volume is your constraint. The 12 yard has a higher max weight (14,000 lbs vs 12,000 lbs), which matters for dense shingle debris on smaller roofs. The 17 year roofing tier includes 4 tons versus 3 tons for the 12 — so for larger roofs the 17 is the better fit by both volume and included weight. Text us the square footage and we'll give you a straight answer. A roofing tear-off calculator is also available.
Your rental includes 3 days. Extra days are $40 / Day — let us know before your scheduled pickup and we'll push it out. Most residential and roofing projects wrap up within the 3-day window, but we're flexible.
For most single-family homes, yes — especially clearing household goods, furniture, and general junk. At 16.92 cubic yards (about 10.6 pickup truck loads), it handles most estate cleanouts in one trip. If you're gutting multiple rooms down to the studs, consider a 21 yard. Text us a rough description and we'll size it right.
The 21 yard is 13 inches taller and holds about 4.4 more cubic yards — roughly 3 extra pickup truck loads. Both share the same 93″ × 204″ footprint. The 21 starts at $325 versus $295 for the 17. If you're on the fence, the upgrade makes sense for multi-room gut-outs, large renovations, or any project where you think you might run out of room. The 21 vs 25 comparison is also worth a look.
We don't carry a bin labeled "15 yard," but our 17 yard exceeds standard 15 yard capacity with a true 16.92 cubic yards. Low 48″ loading height, fits most standard driveways, and roofing/construction pricing tiers are available. Same-day delivery is available for $30 when slots are open.
