Galloway Dumpster Company delivers roll-off containers to properties across Galloway and the surrounding Franklin County area, leaves them for the duration of your job, and hauls them away when you are done. Rentals run from a compact 10-yard up to a 40-yard, with a lowboy option available for heavy material like concrete and brick.
The calls we get come from all directions. Homeowners clearing out a garage, basement, attic, or estate. Contractors running roofing tear-offs or demolition work. Property managers handling foreclosure or hoarding cleanouts. Remodelers pulling out kitchens, bathrooms, or flooring. Whatever the job, delivery and pickup are handled locally in the Franklin County area. One call is all it takes.
The right dumpster makes all the difference, and the best way to land on the right size is to think in pickup-truck loads before you call.
A single-room cleanout, a small attic purge, or a modest yard debris pile usually fits in a 10-yard, which holds around 4 pickup-truck loads worth of debris, or a 12-yard at around 5 pickup-truck loads worth of debris. Step up to a full garage or basement cleanout, or a roofing tear-off on a mid-size home, and you are more likely looking at a 15-yard (around 6 pickup-truck loads worth of debris) or a 20-yard (around 8 pickup-truck loads worth of debris).
Whole-house cleanouts, estate cleanouts, and active demolition sites are a different story. A 30-yard holds around 12 pickup-truck loads worth of debris, and a 40-yard handles around 16 pickup-truck loads worth of debris. Going larger from the start avoids the cost of a swap-out mid-job, which is almost always the more expensive path.
For concrete, brick, or dense demolition debris, the lowboy is worth asking about. It is not sized by volume but by weight capacity, and it is built for material that would overload a standard container well before it looked full.
Describe the job on the call and we confirm the right size before anything is scheduled. We make the rest easy.
Planning a renovation, cleanout, or tear-off? The faster you can answer four questions, the faster we can lock in a delivery window: the address, the spot where the container will sit, the size you need, and whether the job has a hard start date.
Short-notice delivery requests are welcome, and the schedule is confirmed on the call. Callers who have the details ready move through faster. If the job is urgent, the call is the right place to ask what the schedule allows. We take short-notice requests, and we will tell you plainly what is open.
A clear address and a confirmed placement spot make a drop straightforward to execute. We've got you covered if you are not sure about placement yet. Talk through it on the call.
Managing waste on a job site comes down to having the right container in the right spot. Before delivery, the placement area needs to be clear of overhead lines, tree branches, and low overhangs. A roll-off requires vertical clearance to set down properly, and tight overhead obstructions can rule out an otherwise logical spot.
Surface matters too. Paved driveways, gravel, and compacted ground all work. For finished concrete or asphalt, boards can be placed under the container to distribute the weight and reduce surface contact. If you want that protection, mention it on the call.
Street placement is sometimes the only practical option. Whether a street spot needs a permit here is worth asking, and it gets a straight answer. Requirements depend on whether the container sits in the public right of way, and we confirm what applies at your address before delivery.
Tight driveways and narrow approaches should be described on the call so the right placement plan is set before we arrive.
When the job winds down, a call is all it takes to schedule pickup. Let us know the container is ready and we arrange the haul-away from there.
Flexible rental periods with no pressure to rush are standard. Jobs run long. That is not a problem as long as there is communication. A call before the scheduled pickup date holds the container longer. We work around the job, not the other way around.
For large or ongoing projects where one container fills before the work is done, a swap-out is straightforward. We haul the full container and drop a fresh one so the job keeps moving. Describe the scope on the call and we can factor that into the plan from the start.
Straightforward service. Upfront pricing. Local coverage.
Pricing is based on container size, weight, rental period, and disposal fees at the transfer station. All of it is explained on the call before anything is scheduled. A free quote is available right then, and the rate is confirmed before delivery.
Before you commit, ask the right questions. What is the weight allowance for the size you are renting. What happens if the load goes over that allowance. Whether the disposal fee is included in the quoted rate. Those are the numbers that matter, and you get straight answers.
Material type also affects price. Mixed debris, heavy concrete, and clean yard waste are often rated differently at the transfer station. Knowing what you are throwing out helps us quote accurately.
Contractors have enough to think about without a complicated rental. Sort the pile before the container arrives, not after.
Accepted materials include general household junk, construction and demolition debris, roofing material, yard waste, furniture, and renovation debris. Most of what comes out of a cleanout or tear-off goes in without issue.
What cannot go in: hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, chemicals, and motor oil, electronics, tires, appliances containing refrigerants, and medical waste. These are restricted at the transfer station, not by preference.
For the items that cannot go in, there are practical options. Local household hazardous waste drop-off events handle paint and chemicals. Appliance retailers sometimes take old units. Tire shops handle tire disposal. A mixed load with prohibited items can delay pickup and may affect the quoted rate, so it is worth sorting before the container fills.
Whether a permit is required depends on whether the container sits on private property or in the public right of way. Requirements vary by address, and we confirm what applies at your specific location before delivery.
Permit requirements and responsibility depend on the municipality and the placement situation. We confirm what applies at your address before delivery, and the cost of any required permit is separate from the rental rate and explained on the call.
Skipping a required permit can result in fines from the municipality and may require the container to be moved. We confirm what applies at your address before delivery so you are not caught in that situation.
The lowboy is a low-profile container designed for dense, heavy material like concrete, brick, and asphalt. It is rated by weight capacity rather than volume, and it is the right choice when material would exceed the weight limit of a standard container before it looked full.
Concrete loads are accepted, and the lowboy is often the better fit for that material. Concrete is rated differently at the transfer station, so the rate for a heavy material load may differ from a mixed debris rental. Ask about it on the call and we will quote it accurately.
Asphalt is accepted and handled similarly to concrete in terms of weight and disposal rating. The lowboy is worth asking about for large asphalt loads. Confirm the material type on the call so the right container and rate are set from the start.
Boards can be placed under the container to distribute weight and reduce surface contact on finished concrete or asphalt. Mention it on the call before delivery and we will arrange it.
A swap-out means we haul away a full container and drop a fresh one so the job keeps moving without a break.
Arrange it by calling (614) 826-6596 during business hours.
If you know the job will need more than one container, mention it on the initial call so it can be factored into the plan.
Rental periods are flexible and confirmed on the call based on the job. Weekend projects and multi-week renovations are both handled. If the job runs longer than planned, a call before the scheduled pickup date extends the rental.
A container filled above the load line cannot be transported safely and legally. If a container arrives overfilled, material will need to be removed before pickup can proceed. We cover the fill line requirement on the call so you know the limit before you start loading.
Cul-de-sacs and tight approaches can work depending on the specific layout. Describe the access situation on the call so the placement plan accounts for any maneuvering constraints before delivery.
General demolition debris including wood, drywall, framing, roofing material, flooring, and mixed construction waste is accepted. Heavy material like concrete and brick may be better suited to the lowboy. Hazardous materials from a demo site, including anything containing asbestos, are not accepted.
No. Asbestos and materials containing it are regulated hazardous waste and cannot go in a roll-off container. Disposal of those materials must follow a regulated abatement and disposal process governed by hazardous waste rules. If your project involves suspected asbestos, handle that stream separately before the container arrives.
Real people. Real pricing. Real fast delivery.
Describe the job, give us the address, and get a size recommendation and a rate on the same call. Delivery and pickup are handled in the Galloway area, and we take pride in the work we do.

How do I estimate the right dumpster size based on the type of debris I have?
The best starting point is thinking in pickup-truck loads. Light, bulky material like furniture and household junk takes up more space than it weighs, so volume is what drives the size. Dense material like concrete and brick hits weight limits before the container looks full, which is where the lowboy comes in. Describe what you are throwing out when you call and we work through the right fit with you.
What counts as heavy debris, and when does it make sense to rent a lowboy instead of a standard container?
Heavy debris includes concrete, brick, asphalt, stone, tile, and block. These materials are dense enough that a standard container can hit its weight limit well before it appears full. The lowboy is rated by weight capacity rather than volume, and it is built specifically for that kind of load. If your project involves any significant amount of concrete or masonry, ask about the lowboy on the call.
Honest Advice on the Right Size
We help you land on the right container before delivery, not after. Describe the job on the call and we work through the size and weight allowance with you.
What is the fill line and why does it matter?
The fill line is the top edge of the container walls. Material loaded above that line cannot be transported safely or legally. If a container arrives overfilled, debris will need to be removed before pickup can proceed. We cover the fill line requirement when you book so you know the limit before loading starts.
What prohibited items cannot go in a roll-off container?
Hazardous materials are not accepted. That includes paint, solvents, motor oil, chemicals, electronics, tires, appliances containing refrigerants, and medical waste. These items are restricted at the transfer station regardless of what else is in the container. If you have a mixed load with prohibited items, it is worth sorting before the container fills to avoid a delay at pickup.
How do I handle leftover paint, chemicals, or other hazardous household materials?
Local household hazardous waste drop-off events handle paint and chemicals. Appliance retailers sometimes accept old units, and tire shops handle tire disposal. If you are not sure where a specific item goes, ask on the call and we will point you in the right direction.
Flexible Rental Periods
Jobs run long, and that is not a problem. Rental periods are confirmed on the call and can be extended with a single phone call before the scheduled pickup date.
How does the rental period work, and can I extend it if the job takes longer than expected?
Rental periods are flexible and confirmed on the call based on the scope of your project. If the job runs longer than planned, a call before the scheduled pickup date is all it takes to extend the rental. We work around the job, not the other way around.
What happens if my load goes over the weight allowance included in my rental?
The weight allowance is part of the quoted rate and is explained on the call before delivery. If the load comes in over that allowance, the overage is billed based on the per-ton rate at the transfer station. Knowing what material you are loading helps us quote the right allowance from the start, so ask about it when you call.
How does placement on a driveway or lot work, and what do I need to have ready before delivery?
The placement area needs to be clear of overhead lines, tree branches, and low overhangs before delivery. A roll-off requires vertical clearance to set down properly. For finished concrete or asphalt driveways, boards can be placed under the container to distribute weight and reduce surface contact. Mention it on the call if you want that protection and we will arrange it. Describe the access situation, including any tight approaches or narrow driveways, so the placement plan is set before we arrive.
Rate Confirmed Before the Drop-Off
The price is settled on the call before anything is scheduled. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer, including the weight allowance and how disposal fees are handled.
Can I schedule delivery and pickup at different times, or does it all happen on a fixed timeline?
Delivery and pickup are scheduled separately. Once the container is ready to go, a call is all it takes to arrange haul-away. Short-notice delivery may be possible depending on what the schedule allows when you call. If the job has a hard start date, mention it on the initial call so we can factor it in.
What does the quoted price include, and what should I ask about before I confirm the rental?
Pricing is based on container size, weight allowance, rental period, and disposal fees at the transfer station. All of it is explained on the call before anything is scheduled. Before you confirm, it is worth asking what the weight allowance covers for the size you are renting, how overages are billed, and whether the disposal fee is included in the quoted rate. Those are the numbers that matter most, and you get straight answers.
