Renting a roll-off dumpster in the Salt Lake Valley shouldn’t be a headache. Whether you’re clearing out a garage in Sandy, tackling a roofing job in Sugar House, or managing a construction site in Midvale, getting the right bin delivered—and placed correctly—is the key to a smooth project.
Pro-Tips for a Damage-Free Delivery
Most of our customers worry about their driveways. At Salt City Dumpsters, we take precision seriously to protect your property:
The "60-Foot" Rule: Our roll-off trucks need about 60 feet of straight-line clearance to back in and drop your bin safely.
Driveway Protection: If you’re worried about cracked concrete or asphalt scuffs, we recommend laying down two 2x4 boards or a sheet of plywood. Our drivers are happy to place the bin right on top of them.
Watch the Skies: Before we arrive, check for low-hanging branches or power lines. We need at least 23 feet of vertical clearance to tilt the hoist and roll the dumpster off the truck.
Which Roll-Off is right for you?
Not all waste is created equal. While our 15 and 20-yard bins are the "workhorses" for household junk and remodeling debris, they aren't always the best fit for heavy materials.
For Heavy Loads (Dirt, Concrete, Sod): Ask for our 8-yard Low Boy. Its low 24-inch sides make it easy to load with a wheelbarrow, and it’s specifically designed to handle the weight of dense Utah soil and rock without exceeding legal hauling limits.
For General Junk: Our 15-yarders hold roughly 6 pickup truck loads, while the 20-yarders hold about 8.
