Family-run operation, not a middleman

Cecilia Graves has spent 13 years hauling debris across Berkeley — first working on someone else's rig, now running their own. When you dial (510) 201-4765, you reach the family that owns the containers, drives the routes and picks up the phone on Saturday morning.

A lot of dumpster websites are middlemen who hand your job off to whatever company answers first. We are the crew that actually shows up.

From the neighborhood

“Hired them for a roof replacement and came back a month later for a cleanout. Same team both times, same dispatcher who actually answers the phone.”
Angela P. · Roof replacement
“They walked me through exactly where to park my cars so the truck could get in, and the container landed precisely on the marks we drew.”
Mike T. · Kitchen renovation
“I called at 9am and had a 20 yard sitting in my driveway before lunchtime. The driver placed boards down without being asked.”
Dana R. · Garage clearing

Direct answers

Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It handles a kitchen renovation or a full-home cleanout, and it's the container we drop off most often in Berkeley. If your project calls for less, we'll let you know and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
Is same-day dumpster delivery available?
In most cases, yes — place your order before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's route. After 1pm, you're on the first run the following morning.
How many days can I keep the container?
Seven days come standard with every size. Need extra time? Call or text before your scheduled pickup and we'll extend it.
Does Berkeley require a permit for a dumpster?
Not when it sits on a private driveway. If the container has to go on a public street, Berkeley requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to exactly who to contact.
What materials are allowed in the container?
Household junk, furniture, renovation debris, roofing, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard waste, soil and concrete go in a separate heavy-debris container.
