Dumpster Rental in
Great Falls, MT
ZTERS rents roll-off dumpsters throughout Great Falls, from Country Club Boulevard out to the Sun Prairie line. Four sizes, 10 to 40 yards; a 10 yard costs $740-$815 and stays on site 10 days.
Mon–Fri 6am–6pm MT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
What you get with ZTERS: published prices instead of a callback quote, one account manager from first call to pickup, and a delivery date that holds. Nothing about that changes with the size of the job.
Great Falls sits on a grid of wide, flat blocks laid out well over a century ago, and that regularity shapes what most cleanouts look like. Downtown and Central have some of the oldest housing stock, with lath-and-plaster interiors and original wood floors that add weight to a remodel tear-out. Newer construction toward Northside tends to generate lighter, more uniform debris from drywall and modern flooring. Roofing material follows the same pattern: older homes shed heavier layers than a house built in the last few decades.
Wondering how much room the truck needs to drop a container safely? In Great Falls, that usually comes down to driveway width and overhead clearance more than anything else. A lot along Central Avenue West or near 10th Avenue South typically has enough room for a straight backup, though older alleys behind Southside homes can be narrower. Near Memorial Stadium and Benefis West, delivery crews are used to working around game-day or hospital traffic, so timing a drop outside those windows keeps things simple. Homes out toward Malmstrom AFB may fall later in a route depending on the day, so a rough delivery window is worth confirming when booking.
Dumpster Sizes in Great Falls
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Great Falls, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
Smallest of the fleet, the 10 yard takes a bathroom gut or one room's flooring without wasting driveway. $740 to $815, and it leaves space for a car beside it.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Most kitchen-plus-bath remodels land in the 20 yard, $860 to $975. It takes the cabinets, counters, subfloor and trim in one go, with the footprint of a delivery truck.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $990 to $1145, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
Cleanouts that outgrow a 10 usually land here. The 15 yard adds a third more space without a longer footprint, so a normal driveway still takes it.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
The 30 yard is the clearout size: attic, basement and garage in one container, $885 to $1000. Tall sides add capacity, not weight allowance, so concrete and dirt still price by weight.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Great Falls, MT
For homeowners
Most household jobs are cleanouts and remodels: furniture, boxes, carpet, cabinets, the layers a house builds up over years. That debris is bulky rather than heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard on a Great Falls driveway usually covers it, with room left to park beside it.
For contractors
A jobsite container earns its keep on turnaround. One account manager handles the drops and swaps, the size tracks what the phase produces, and the staging spot needs a straight approach so a loaded truck is not threading parked equipment. Heavy phases go in smaller containers loaded level.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Great Falls
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Great Falls, MT?
Dumpster rental pricing in Great Falls varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Great Falls
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $740 – $815 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $860 – $975 | $725 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $885 – $1000 | $665 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $990 – $1145 | $790 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Great Falls address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 977-9557 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Great Falls
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Great Falls dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Great Falls dumpster costs range from $740 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1145 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Your service area covers Great Falls end to end, from the older blocks of Downtown and Southside to newer growth in Northside and toward Woodland Estates. Drivers also reach Malmstrom AFB and Sun Prairie on the edges of town, where longer driveways make placement straightforward. Near Whittier Park and Carter Park, deliveries route around normal park traffic without any trouble.
The quote covers 10 days from delivery. That is enough for most single-project rentals, and the clock is not something anyone watches to the hour.
If the job runs long, call before the period ends and the rental can be extended for an additional daily fee. If you finish early, call and the container can come sooner — the pickup date moves if the truck has not been routed yet.
Benefis West sits close enough that some surrounding blocks fall under standard right-of-way rules, though that only matters if a container needs to sit in the street. On private property, a driveway or yard, Great Falls does not require a permit for a roll-off dumpster. Street placement, including stretches near Central Avenue West, requires a right-of-way permit from the city's public works department.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Great Falls comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Measure the job by its debris, not its square footage. One bathroom or a single room of flooring is a 10. A full kitchen, cabinets and counters included, fills a 20. Whole-floor gut jobs and big cleanouts run to a 30.
The larger sizes share the same footprint and only grow taller, so a bigger container does not need a bigger driveway. The exception is heavy material: shingles, tile, concrete or dirt hit the weight limit long before the container looks full, so mention them when you call and let the tonnage set the size.
A container staying on your own driveway in Great Falls needs no permit at all, but one that has to sit in the street, say along 15th Street North instead of a private lot, does. For that street placement, the application goes through the city's public works department, which issues right-of-way permits for temporary use of the street.
