Dumpster Rental in
Felton, DE
Whether the job is off South Main Street or anywhere else in Felton, ZTERS delivers roll-off dumpsters in 10 to 40 yard sizes — the 10 yard at $655-$755 for a 10-day rental.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
Look up the price, make the call, get the container. ZTERS publishes real Delaware prices, keeps the order to a single conversation, and sets the delivery date on that same call.
The oldest houses in Felton sit in a few blocks at the center of town, built back when the railroad still ran through. Work on one of those turns up plaster and heavy old framing, and that fills a container's weight limit fast. Felton Manor and Chimney Hill are newer construction, so the same kind of remodel there comes out as drywall and carpet — bulky, but light — and picking by volume works fine. Which part of town the job's in says a lot about which size makes sense.
In old Felton the lots are narrow, and where there's a driveway at all, it runs through the gap between two houses. The truck needs ten to twelve feet of width to get through, and some of those gaps don't have it, so the number to check is the narrowest point along that path, not just the mouth of the driveway. Felton Manor and Chimney Hill have modern-width driveways, so the truck has room to spare there. Outside town, properties turn rural fast, with long farm lanes that give the truck plenty of approach. Before delivery day, measure the tightest point the truck has to get through — that's the number that decides where the container can go.
Dumpster Sizes in Felton
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Felton, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
One stripped room, a shed coming down, the end of a long-postponed cleanout: the 10 yard takes it for $655 to $755 and fits where bigger containers cannot.
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.
A 20 yard holds a kitchen down to the studs and the bathroom that went with it, at $750 to $840. If the debris is mostly shingles or tile, weight decides before space does — say so when you order.
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.
The 40 yard is the largest we place, $905 to $1025. Demolition volume. Check the approach before you order one, because it needs a long straight run.
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.
The 15 yard is the same footprint as the 10 with taller walls, which suits bulky-but-light loads: furniture, carpet, a garage that filled itself over a decade.
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.
A 30 yard takes what a whole house sheds in a remodel — cabinetry, doors, carpet, framing offcuts — for $780 to $870. Same footprint as the 20; the extra capacity is all height.
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 Felton, DE
For homeowners
A garage or basement cleanout is the most common homeowner job, and it is a volume job: bulky, light, and done over a weekend. Kitchen and bath remodels add cabinets and flooring. Either way the container sits on the Felton driveway, and the rear door swings open so heavy pieces roll in instead of going over the wall.
For contractors
On a build or a gut job in Felton, the debris changes by phase — framing scrap is bulky, demolition is dense, tear-offs are heavier than they look. Matching the container to the phase beats parking one big container for the whole job, and swaps keep the site clear without a second setup.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Felton
- 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 Felton, DE?
Dumpster rental pricing in Felton 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 Felton
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $655 – $755 | $465 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $750 – $840 | $520 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $780 – $870 | $390 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $905 – $1025 | $625 | 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 Felton 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) 880-3154 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 Felton
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
Felton dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Felton dumpster costs range from $655 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1025 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.
There is no fixed answer, because the trucks work routes. A delivery lands in Felton when a truck is already headed that way with room on its schedule, so the honest window shifts week to week.
The reliable move is to call with your start date and ask what the current window looks like. Book a day or two ahead of when you want to start loading and the timing takes care of itself.
Not for a container on your own property. Felton is an incorporated town, so a container sitting in a street inside town limits is the town's to approve. The exception is US 13 at the edge of town, which is a state highway, so anything in its right-of-way goes through DelDOT instead.
Nothing, if the container stays on your own driveway. For anything sitting in a town street, start with the Felton town office; for a spot along South Dupont Highway, go to DelDOT instead, since that's the state's road.
Almost everything from a renovation or cleanout is accepted. The exceptions come from the disposal facility, not from us: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances with refrigerant still in them.
Heavy masonry, concrete and dirt are allowed but priced by weight, which is worth mentioning at booking instead of discovering at the scale. Unsure about something? Ask before it goes in.
Start with what is leaving the building. A 10 covers one bathroom or one room of flooring. A 20 handles a kitchen. Several rooms at once, or an outbuilding full of old storage, is where the 30 earns its keep.
Roofing throws off the usual math because shingles are dense, and the load hits its tonnage cap while the container still looks half empty. The same goes for concrete, brick and dirt. Say so at booking and the right size follows. If you are stuck between two sizes, the price gap is smaller than the cost of a second haul.
Felton Manor, Felton Heights, Chimney Hill and Lake Forest Mobile Home Est are all served, along with the older blocks downtown and the rural addresses out toward Killens Pond State Park. The subdivisions have modern streets and are easy driving. In the mobile home community the internal lanes are tighter, and the driver will want the container placed somewhere it doesn't block one. On the rural lots, the only real question is where on the property you want it.
