We’ve spent over a decade learning exactly what Lancaster County residents and businesses need when it comes to waste removal. Here’s what we handle day in and day out:
Home projects create a lot of debris-fast. We make getting rid of it even faster. Our residential dumpster rental service covers every type of home project you can think of:
Contractors, builders, and property managers trust us because we understand that time is money on a job site. Our commercial dumpster rental services keep your projects moving:
Not all junk is created equal. We handle the challenging stuff, too:
Choosing the right dumpster size saves you money and hassle. Too small and you’ll need a second rental. Too large and you’re paying for space you don’t use. We offer six different sizes so you can match your container perfectly to your project.
Perfect for: Small cleanouts, minor bathroom renovations, garage decluttering, yard waste from landscaping projects.
Our 10-yard dumpster is compact enough to fit in tight driveways but roomy enough for weekend warrior projects. Think of it as roughly equivalent to three pickup truck loads. Ideal for homeowners tackling small-scale cleanups without breaking the bank.
Perfect for: Projects with weight restrictions, tight access areas, or jobs requiring easier loading.
Our lowboy dumpster sits lower to the ground, making it easier to load heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles. Same capacity as a standard 10-yard, but with better accessibility for wheelbarrows and manual loading.
Perfect for: Kitchen remodels, deck removal, medium-sized estate cleanouts, flooring removal projects.
This is our most popular residential size. It holds about four and a half pickup truck loads and fits easily in most driveways. Versatile enough for both household junk and light construction debris. If you’re unsure between a 10-yard and a 20-yard, this is your sweet spot.
Perfect for: Large home renovations, roof replacements, whole-house cleanouts, major basement or attic purges.
The 20-yard container is where we cross from “big project” into “serious project” territory. It handles roofing jobs for most residential homes, large-scale remodeling projects, and substantial demolition work. Approximately six pickup truck loads of capacity.
Perfect for: Major home additions, large commercial cleanouts, multi-room renovations, new construction debris.
Now we’re talking serious capacity. The 30-yard dumpster is the workhorse of commercial construction and large residential projects. About nine pickup truck loads. If you’re a contractor working on a multi-week job, this size keeps you moving without constant swaps.
Perfect for: Large-scale demolition, commercial construction sites, industrial cleanouts, major estate liquidations.
This is our biggest unit. The 40-yard dumpster can handle complete home demolitions, large commercial projects, and massive cleanout operations. Roughly twelve pickup truck loads. When you absolutely need maximum capacity, this is it.

Plenty of companies will rent you a dumpster. Here’s why Lancaster County customers keep calling us back:
When you need a dumpster, you usually need it now. We offer same-day dumpster rental service throughout Lancaster and next-day delivery across Lancaster County. Got an emergency cleanout? A contractor who just bailed? A project that’s suddenly moving faster than expected? Call us before noon and we’ll typically have your dumpster on-site the same afternoon. We understand that timing matters, and we built our business around fast response.
No games. No surprises. No “Oh, by the way…” fees when we pick up your dumpster. When we quote you a price, that’s your price-period. We break down exactly what you’re paying for: the dumpster size, the rental period, the weight allowance, and the disposal fees. If your project might involve overage charges (like going over the weight limit), we explain that upfront so you can plan accordingly. Our goal is to be the most affordable dumpster rental option in Lancaster County while maintaining the best service standards. We’re proud to offer competitive rates without cutting corners on equipment quality or customer care.
You can book a dumpster rental with us anytime-literally.

We’ve been serving Lancaster and Lancaster County for 14 years because we show up on time, deliver what we promise, and treat every customer with respect. Our drivers are experienced, courteous, and careful with your property. Our dumpsters are clean, well-maintained, and ready to work. When we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, you can plan your day around it. Reliability isn’t a bonus feature with us-it’s the baseline.
We care about where your waste ends up. Whenever possible, we sort materials for recycling and work with local facilities to divert usable items from landfills. Metal gets recycled. Wood gets processed. Concrete gets crushed for aggregate. We’re not perfect, but we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint and disposing of waste responsibly. When you rent from us, you’re choosing a company that takes environmental stewardship seriously.
Erb’s Junk Removal & Dumpster Rental started the way a lot of good businesses do-with a problem that needed solving and a willingness to work hard.
Back in 2011, one of our founders was helping his elderly neighbor clean out her garage after her husband passed away. They called every dumpster company in Lancaster County. Half didn’t answer. The other half quoted prices that seemed designed to take advantage of someone in a tough situation. When a truck finally showed up three days late with a rusted-out container, it was the final straw.
We figured Lancaster deserved better. So we bought our first truck, picked up our first dumpster, and started taking calls from neighbors, contractors, and local businesses who needed reliable waste removal without the runaround.
Fourteen years later, we’re still family-owned, still local, and still operating on the same principle: treat people right, show up when you say you will, and charge a fair price. We’ve grown from that single truck to a full fleet serving all of Lancaster County and beyond into Pennsylvania. We’ve handled everything from small garage cleanouts to massive commercial demolitions. But the mission hasn’t changed-we’re here to make waste removal easy for our community.
We’re proud to be part of Lancaster. We sponsor local youth sports teams, support community cleanup events, and employ people from right here in Lancaster County. When you call us, you’re not reaching some national call center-you’re talking to someone who lives and works in the same community you do.
Renting a dumpster shouldn’t be complicated. Here’s how we keep it simple:
Step 1: Choose Your Dumpster Size
Browse our size options above or give us a call. Tell us about your project and we’ll recommend the right size. We’ve seen it all, so we can usually nail the recommendation on the first try. Not sure? We’ll talk you through it.
Step 2: Schedule Delivery
Pick your delivery date and time. Need it today? We’ll make it happen if we can. Need it next week? We’ll lock it in. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
Step 3: Fill Your Dumpster
Load at your own pace. We’ll give you clear guidelines on what you can toss and what needs special handling. Take a day, take a week, take a month-we offer flexible rental periods to match your project timeline, whether it’s a quick weekend cleanout or a long-term renovation.
Step 4: We Pick It Up
When you’re done, give us a call. We’ll come haul it away, dispose of everything responsibly, and leave your property clean. You don’t lift a finger for the pickup-we handle all the heavy lifting and make sure your driveway or job site looks just like it did before we arrived.
We’re proud of the reputation we’ve built in Lancaster County, and nothing makes us happier than hearing from satisfied customers.
Homeowners tell us we made their renovation projects less stressful. Contractors say we’re the only dumpster company they trust to show up on time, every time. Property managers appreciate our flexibility and consistent service across multiple locations. Real estate agents call us when they need estate cleanouts handled quickly and respectfully.
One customer recently told us, “You guys are the first dumpster company that actually answered the phone, showed up when you said you would, and didn’t charge me extra for things you didn’t mention upfront.” That’s exactly the standard we aim for with every single rental.
Dumpster rental costs in Lancaster vary based on the size you choose, how long you need it, what type of debris you’re disposing of, and where in Lancaster County you’re located. Our pricing is transparent and includes delivery, pickup, disposal fees, and a generous weight allowance. We provide free, detailed quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying before we deliver. Generally speaking, smaller dumpsters for short-term residential use start at the lower end of the price spectrum, while larger commercial containers for extended periods cost more. Call us for an exact quote based on your specific project.
Yes. Same-day dumpster rental is available throughout Lancaster and most of Lancaster County when you call us before our daily cutoff time (typically around noon). We keep trucks and dumpsters ready specifically for emergency and urgent requests. Whether you’ve got an unexpected cleanout, a contractor emergency, or a project that’s suddenly moving faster than planned, we’ll do everything possible to get you a dumpster the same day you call.
The right size depends on your project scope. Small bathroom remodels and garage cleanouts typically need a 10-yard dumpster. Kitchen renovations and deck removals usually require a 15-yard. Full roof replacements and large home cleanouts often need a 20-yard. Major construction projects and commercial work might require a 30 or 40-yard dumpster. When in doubt, call us. We’ll ask a few questions about your project and give you an honest recommendation. We’d rather help you get the right size the first time than have you pay for a second delivery.
Our standard rental period is flexible to match your needs. Most residential customers keep dumpsters for 3-7 days, but we offer weekly rental options, short-term rentals for quick projects, and long-term arrangements for extended renovations or construction jobs. Need it for a month? No problem. Need it for just a weekend? That works too. We charge by the rental period, and we’re upfront about the rates. If your project timeline changes, just let us know and we’ll adjust the pickup date.
Most common waste is perfectly fine: construction debris, household junk, furniture, appliances, yard waste, roofing shingles, drywall, wood, metal, and general trash. We can also handle concrete and heavy materials in appropriate containers. Items that require special handling include hazardous materials, certain electronics, tires, and some liquids-we’ll walk you through the specifics when you book. If you’re unsure whether something is okay to toss, just ask. We want you to dispose of your waste properly and legally.
Absolutely. We serve both homeowners and businesses throughout Lancaster County. For residential customers, we handle everything from small decluttering projects to major home renovations. For commercial and contractor customers, we provide reliable dumpster service for construction sites, property management companies, retail locations, industrial facilities, and everything in between. We understand that residential customers want friendly, helpful service while contractors need speed and reliability-and we deliver both.

If you’re wondering whether we deliver to your location, call us-chances are excellent we do.
Yes, and roofing projects are one of our most common requests. We provide roofing dumpsters specifically designed to handle the weight and volume of shingle disposal. For a typical residential roof tear-off, most customers need either a 15-yard or 20-yard dumpster depending on the roof size and number of layers being removed. We’ll help you calculate the right size based on your square footage. Our containers can handle asphalt shingles, wood shakes, metal roofing, and all the associated debris from roof replacement projects.

Yes, we’re committed to environmentally responsible waste management. We work with local recycling facilities and sorting centers to divert recyclable materials from landfills whenever possible. Metals get recycled. Clean wood is processed for reuse. Concrete and masonry are crushed into aggregate. We can’t recycle everything, but we make a genuine effort to reduce landfill waste and dispose of materials in the most environmentally sound way available. It’s the right thing to do for Lancaster County and for future generations.
