The container that suits your job depends on the material far more than the address. Here is the full comparison.
| Size | Dimensions (L×W×H) | Holds about | Weight allowance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 12′ × 8′ × 3.5′ | 3–4 pickup loads | 1–2 tons | Bathroom remodels, small cleanouts, concrete |
| 15 Yard | 16′ × 8′ × 4′ | 5–6 pickup loads | 2–3 tons | Garage & porch clearouts, single-room renos |
| 20 Yard | 22′ × 8′ × 4.5′ | 7–8 pickup loads | 3–4 tons | Roof tear-offs, kitchen renos, big cleanouts |
| 30 Yard | 22′ × 8′ × 6′ | 10–12 pickup loads | 4–5 tons | New builds, additions, whole-home cleanouts |
Heavy material — concrete, brick, ceramic tile, stucco, wet vegetation — needs a smaller container than the volume suggests. Bulky light material like furniture, mattresses and drywall needs a bigger one. The sizing guide explains why.
How delivery works in Homer
- 1
Call and describe the job
Tell us what you're clearing and where you are. Alisha Kuhlmann or a dispatcher will size it with you in about three minutes — no forms, no waiting on an email quote.
- 2
Lock in a flat rate
You get one number that covers delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal up to your weight allowance. We tell you the overage rate up front so nothing lands on your invoice later.
- 3
We deliver and protect
Our driver calls ahead, lays boards under the rails on driveways and pavers, and sets the can exactly where you want it — doors facing the work.
- 4
Fill it, we haul it
Load to the fill line, call when you're done, and we pull it. Worth knowing: the City licenses haulers but collects no trash itself — your weekly service is a private contract, and none of it covers construction debris. That is exactly the gap a container fills.

Dumpster rental in Homer — your questions
There is a recycling drop-off in Homer?
Yes - Homer and South Homer Township jointly fund one, serviced by a private hauler. It is one of only three community drop-offs left in the county, with Ogden and Philo.
Do you handle tree work near the lake?
Regularly. There is genuine mature timber around the forest preserve. Cut the tree down before loading and tell us if there are stumps or root balls - they are dense and awkward.
How far out is Homer?
About twenty-five minutes south-east. Toward the edge of our regular radius, so give us a day or two where you can.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster to Homer?
Homer is 25 minutes south-east from our yard on Career. Same-day delivery is frequently available if you call before mid-morning, and next-day is close to guaranteed. We call ahead before the driver arrives.
What sizes do you bring to Homer?
All four — 10, 15, 20 and 30 yard. Which one suits depends far more on what you are throwing away than on where you live. Describe the material on the phone and we will size it properly.
Nearby communities we also serve
If you are on the edge of Homer or working across a boundary, we very likely cover both sides.
