How quickly can I get a dumpster for fire debris cleanup in Altadena?
We understand that you’re in a rush to get things cleaned up, and we’re happy to oblige. We can usually get you a dumpster within 24 hours of your request!
What size dumpster do I need for wildfire debris removal?
It really does depend on how much damage occurred and how much debris was caught in the fire. For a full house cleanup, a 40-yard Highboy dumpster is usually the best choice, as it can hold the equivalent of about 12 pickup truck loads. For smaller projects or partial debris (say one section of a house or a detached garage), a 20-yard Lowboy may suffice, and if you only have a small volume of waste, a 3-yard bin could do. Our team will help assess your situation and recommend the appropriate size, ensuring you have enough capacity without paying for more than you need.

We will happily provide you with an upfront quote so you know exactly how much it’ll cost based on the size of the dumpster and how long you’ll be keeping it.
How long can I rent the roll-off dumpster during my cleanup?
Our rentals are flexible. People usually rent for about a week, but we are flexible and know post-fire cleanup can take longer. You can extend the rental week-by-week or arrange a longer-term rental from the start. We won’t rush you – if you need the dumpster for several weeks to sort through debris and complete demolition, just let us know and we will accommodate your timeline.
