How the process works

1

Schedule it

Call (510) 201-1703 or tap any button on this page. Let us know your project and preferred date — we lock in the size and placement while you're still on the phone.

2

We drop it off

We place the container exactly where you want it, boards down first, door facing the direction you asked. You don't need to be there.

3

We pick it up

Call or text once you're finished loading. We come get it and haul everything away, usually the next business day.

What you can load — and what stays out

Not sure about a particular item? Check with us before tossing it in — that way you avoid a refused load.

Allowed

General household clutter and furniture
Renovation and demolition debris
Asphalt and composition shingles
Dimensional lumber, plywood and trim boards
Gypsum board and plaster
Carpet, underlayment and floor coverings
Kitchen cabinets and countertop material
Deck boards and fence sections
Appliances that contain no freon
Packed boxes, clothing and children's items

Prohibited — never load these

Paints, wood stains and chemical solvents
Used motor oil, gasoline and diesel fuel
Compressed propane cylinders
Automobile and truck tires
Batteries, any type or size
Refrigerators and AC units containing freon
Asbestos or potentially contaminated insulation
Medical waste or biohazardous materials
Railroad ties and creosote-treated lumber
Pesticide containers and pool treatment chemicals
Note: yard debris, soil, concrete and brick are too heavy to mix with other waste and require a dedicated heavy-debris container — Call (510) 201-1703 and we'll bring the right one.

Family-run operation, not a middleman

Zachary Hoffmann has spent 13 years hauling debris across Santa Barbara — first driving for another company, now running their own. When you dial (510) 201-1703, you reach the family that owns the containers, drives the routes and picks up the phone on a Saturday morning.

A lot of dumpster websites are brokers who hand your job off to whoever is available. We are the crew that actually pulls up.

Frequently asked questions

How many days can I keep the container?
You get seven days with every size. Need extra time? Just call or text before the scheduled pickup and we'll extend it.
Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It handles a kitchen renovation or a full-house cleanout, and it's the container we deliver most often in Santa Barbara. If your project is smaller, we'll let you know and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
What materials are allowed in the dumpster?
Household clutter, furniture, renovation debris, roofing, decking, flooring and drywall. No paint, fuel, tires, batteries or freon-containing appliances. Yard debris, soil and concrete go in a separate heavy-debris container.
Is same-day delivery available?
In most cases, yes — order before 1pm on a weekday and we'll fit you into that afternoon's route. After 1pm you'll be first on the schedule the following morning.
Does Santa Barbara require a permit for a dumpster?
Not when the container sits on a private driveway. If it needs to go on a public street, Santa Barbara requires a right-of-way permit — we'll point you to the right office.
