When you need a roll-off dumpster rental in Jeffersontown, you want more than just a metal box dropped in your driveway; you want a partner who understands your project, respects your property, and delivers on time without the runaround. That’s exactly what we’ve been doing since 2011.
We’re Derby City Junk Removal, a family-owned waste management company built on honest service and local know-how. For over 13 years, we’ve served homeowners, contractors, and businesses throughout Jefferson County with reliable dumpster rentals, transparent pricing, and same-day delivery when you need it most. Whether you’re tackling a garage cleanout, managing a multi-home construction site, or handling an estate sale, we have the right-sized container and the experience to make your project run smoothly.
We’re not a national chain with call centers in another state. We live here, work here, and take pride in being Jeffersontown’s go-to dumpster rental service. When you call us, you’ll talk to someone who knows the area, understands local regulations, and genuinely cares about helping you get the job done right.
Derby City Junk Removal started in 2011 when our founder, a third-generation Jeffersontown resident, got fed up with the lack of reliable, honest waste removal options in Jefferson County. After watching too many neighbors and small contractors get burned by hidden fees, late deliveries, and poor customer service, he decided to do something about it.
What began as a single truck and two dumpsters has grown into one of the most trusted names in residential and commercial dumpster rental across Kentucky. We’ve expanded our fleet, added more container sizes, and built a team that shares our commitment to punctuality, fair pricing, and treating every customer’s property like our own.
But even as we’ve grown, we’ve stayed true to our roots. We’re still locally owned, still answering our own phones, and still operating with the same principle that started it all: do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it, at the price you quoted. It’s a simple philosophy, but it’s made all the difference for thousands of satisfied customers across Jefferson County.
No matter the size or scope of your project, we have a waste management solution that fits. From weekend garage cleanouts to year-long construction contracts, we handle it all with the same level of professionalism and attention to detail.
Homeowners choose us because we make the process simple and stress-free. We know you’re juggling enough already; the last thing you need is to worry about waste removal logistics. Here’s how we help:
Contractors and property managers trust us because we’re consistent, flexible, and always available. When your schedule shifts or your project scope expands, we adapt. Our commercial dumpster rental services include:
One of the most common questions we get is: “What size dumpster do I need?” It’s a great question, and we’re always happy to help you figure it out. Here’s a breakdown of our sizes and what they’re best suited for.
10 Yard Dumpster – Perfect for small cleanouts, garage organization, or minor bathroom renovations. This compact size fits in tight spaces and handles about 3-4 pickup truck loads of debris.
12 Yard Dumpster – Ideal for carpet removal, small deck teardowns, or medium-sized cleanout projects. Slightly more capacity without taking up much more room.
15 Yard Dumpster – Great for flooring replacement projects, estate cleanouts, or single-room renovations. Our most popular choice for residential customers tackling one big project.
20 Yard Dumpster – This is our most versatile size and the go-to for whole-home cleanouts, roof replacements, and large renovations. It holds roughly 8 pickup truck loads and handles construction debris, furniture disposal, and mixed household waste with ease. If you’re unsure, this is usually the safe bet.
30 Yard Dumpster – Built for major renovation projects, new construction, and large-scale demolition work. This heavy debris dumpster rental is what contractors order when they need serious capacity.
40 Yard Dumpster – Our largest container, designed for commercial projects, multi-property cleanouts, and bulk waste removal. Long-term contractor rentals often use this size for ongoing job sites.
10 Yard Lowboy – A specialty low-profile container perfect for roofing jobs or situations where you need easy loading access. Same capacity as a standard 10-yarder, just easier to toss material into from ground level.
Still not sure? Call us. We’ll ask a few questions about your project and recommend the right size; no sales pitch, just honest advice.
We know that sometimes projects don’t wait. A contractor cancels, weather clears up unexpectedly, or you finally get motivated on a Saturday morning to tackle that mess. When you need a dumpster fast, we’re ready.
We offer same-day and next-day dumpster delivery throughout Jeffersontown and Jefferson County. If you call us before noon, there’s a good chance we can have a container on your property that afternoon. Emergency dumpster rental situations; like storm damage or urgent property cleanouts; get priority placement.
Our drivers are experienced professionals who know how to protect your driveway, navigate tight spaces, and place dumpsters exactly where you need them. We carry plywood boards to distribute weight and prevent surface damage, and we’ll work with you to find the best placement spot.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all rental periods. Your timeline is your timeline, and we work around it.
And here’s the thing: we don’t charge hidden fees for reasonable rental periods. If you need an extra day or two, we’re not going to nickel-and-dime you. We’ll work it out.
This might sound small, but it matters: our dumpsters are clean. We maintain our equipment, inspect it regularly, and make sure what shows up on your property doesn’t look like it’s been through a war zone.
We’ve heard too many stories from customers about other companies delivering rusty, leaking containers that smell and look terrible. That’s not how we operate. Our roll-off containers are well-maintained, professionally painted, and as presentable as a dumpster can be. Because even though it’s temporary, it’s sitting on your property; and we respect that.
Let’s talk money. Dumpster rental pricing can feel like a mystery with some companies, but not with us. We believe in upfront, straightforward pricing that includes everything you need to know before you commit.
Here’s what’s included in our all-inclusive rates:
No surprise charges. No hidden fees. If there’s an extra cost; like if you go over the weight limit or need to dispose of special materials; we’ll tell you about it upfront, not after the fact.
We offer competitive rates without compromising on quality or service. We’re not the cheapest option out there (we’ll be honest about that), but we’re absolutely the best value. When you factor in reliability, customer service, and the peace of mind that comes with a company that does what it says, the choice is clear.
Contractors and repeat customers also benefit from volume discounts. If you’re running multiple projects or need ongoing service, let’s talk about a rate that works for both of us.
Just because we’re in the waste business doesn’t mean we’re careless about where that waste ends up. We partner with local recycling facilities and transfer stations throughout Kentucky to divert as much material as possible from landfills.
When you rent a dumpster from us, here’s what happens behind the scenes:
We’re committed to responsible waste management that complies with Jefferson County regulations while doing our part for the environment. It’s not just good business; it’s the right thing to do.

We’ve streamlined the rental process to make it as simple as possible. Here’s how it works:
Use our size guide above, or just give us a call and describe your project. We’ll recommend the right container based on your needs. If you’re between sizes, we’ll help you decide; and if we get it wrong, we’ll swap it out.
Pick your delivery date (same-day is often available if you call early enough). Let us know where you want it placed; driveway, street, yard, construction site; and we’ll make it happen. We’ll also confirm your rental period and answer any questions about what you can and can’t put in the dumpster.
Load the dumpster at your own pace. No rush, no pressure. When you’re ready for pickup, give us a call or we’ll come on the scheduled date. We handle all the disposal and recycling. You’re done.

We’re based right here in Jeffersontown, Kentucky, and we’re proud to serve our neighbors throughout Jefferson County and beyond. Our service area includes all of Jeffersontown’s residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and surrounding communities.
Because we’re local, we offer fast delivery times and flexible scheduling that national companies just can’t match. We understand Jefferson County’s regulations, permit requirements, and the unique characteristics of different neighborhoods. Whether you’re in an older residential area with narrow driveways or managing a new construction site on the outskirts of town, we know how to navigate it.
If you’re anywhere in Jefferson County or the greater Kentucky area and need a dumpster, give us a call. We’ll let you know if we can help; and if we’re outside our service range, we’ll do our best to point you toward a reputable provider.
Prices vary based on dumpster size, rental period, and the type of debris you’re disposing of. Our rates are all-inclusive (delivery, rental period, pickup, and disposal) with no hidden fees. For an exact quote tailored to your project, give us a call. We’ll walk you through the pricing and answer any questions upfront.
Yes! If you call before noon, we can usually deliver the same day, depending on availability. Emergency situations; like storm damage; get priority. Next-day delivery is almost always available for non-urgent requests.
For most whole-home renovations, a 20-yard dumpster is the sweet spot. It handles kitchen tearouts, bathroom remodels, flooring removal, and general construction debris without being oversized. For smaller projects (single room), a 15-yard works great. For major gut jobs, you might need a 30-yard. When in doubt, call us; we’ll help you choose based on the specifics of your project.
Our standard rental periods are 7-14 days, which works for most projects. Need it longer? No problem. We offer flexible extensions; just let us know. Short-term weekend rentals are also available if you’re knocking out a quick project. We’ll never rush you, and we’ll communicate clearly about any costs associated with longer rental periods.
You can dispose of most common materials: household junk, construction debris, furniture, appliances, yard waste, shingles, wood, drywall, flooring, and general renovation waste. We cannot accept hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, asbestos), tires, batteries, propane tanks, or certain electronics. If you’re unsure about a specific item, just ask; we’re happy to clarify before delivery.
Generally, if the dumpster is placed on your own property (driveway, yard), you don’t need a permit. If you need to place it on the street or public right-of-way, you may need a permit from the city. We can guide you through the process and let you know what’s required based on your specific situation. Jefferson County and Jeffersontown have clear guidelines, and we’re familiar with them.
We take property protection seriously. Our drivers use plywood boards under the dumpster’s wheels to distribute weight and prevent surface damage. We also carefully position containers to avoid landscaping, sprinkler systems, and other obstacles. While we can’t guarantee zero impact (these are heavy containers), we do everything possible to protect your property.
Absolutely. We work with contractors, builders, property managers, and commercial clients throughout Jefferson County. We offer volume discounts, long-term rental agreements, and flexible scheduling to keep your projects moving. Many of our contractor clients have been with us for years because we’re consistent, reliable, and easy to work with.

| Common Customer Concern | Our Answer |
|---|---|
| How do I select the correct dumpster size? | Start by estimating the volume of debris you'll generate. As a general rule: 10-yard for small cleanouts, 20-yard for most home projects, and 30-40-yard for large construction or demolition. Not sure? Call us! We'll ask a few quick questions about your project and recommend the most cost-effective size. We'd rather help you get it right the first time than have you pay for space you don't need-or run out of room halfway through. |
| What happens if I overload the dumpster? | Every dumpster has a clearly marked fill line on the inside. Please keep all debris below this line-it's a safety requirement for transport. If you exceed the weight limit (tonnage included with your rental), additional fees may apply. We'll always let you know upfront what's included, and if you think you'll have heavy materials like concrete or soil, just mention it when you book so we can help you avoid overage charges. |
| What items are prohibited? | We cannot accept hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, tires, certain appliances with refrigerants, medical waste, or flammable liquids. Most household junk, construction debris, furniture, yard waste, and general trash are perfectly fine. If you're unsure about a specific item, just ask-we're happy to clarify before delivery. |
| Do I need a permit to place a dumpster? | If the dumpster will be placed on your private property (driveway, yard, or parking lot), no permit is usually required. However, if it needs to go on a public street or right-of-way, you may need a permit from your local municipality. We can guide you through the process and let you know what's required in your area. When in doubt, we'll help you figure it out. |
| Where should I place the dumpster? | Choose a flat, stable surface with enough clearance for our delivery truck (typically 60+ feet of straight-line access and at least 14 feet of vertical clearance for overhead wires or branches). Driveways are ideal, but we can also place dumpsters on grass or gravel if needed. We recommend using plywood under the container to protect softer surfaces. Our drivers are experienced and will work with you to find the best spot. |
| How long can I keep the dumpster? | Our standard rental period is 7 days, but we offer flexible options including weekend-only, weekly, monthly, and long-term rentals. Need more time? Just let us know-we're happy to extend your rental. Need it picked up early? We can do that too. We build our scheduling around your project timeline, not the other way around. |
| How quickly can you deliver? | We offer same-day delivery in most cases when you call or book online early in the day. Our fast and reliable delivery service means you won't be left waiting. We know that time matters on your project, whether you're a contractor on a tight deadline or a homeowner ready to get started. We'll give you a clear delivery window and stick to it. |
| Will the dumpster damage my driveway or property? | We take every precaution to protect your property. Our experienced drivers place dumpsters carefully, and we recommend using wooden boards under the container if you're concerned about softer surfaces like asphalt or stamped concrete. The weight of the loaded dumpster can cause impressions on certain surfaces, so plan accordingly. If you have specific concerns, let us know when you book and we'll advise on the best placement strategy. |
| What's included in the rental price? | Our transparent pricing includes delivery, pickup, disposal fees, and your rental period-all in one flat rate. The included tonnage varies by dumpster size (listed above). There are no hidden fees, and we'll explain everything upfront so you know exactly what you're paying. If you go over the weight limit or need an extended rental, we'll let you know the cost before any additional charges apply. |
| How do I schedule pickup? | Just give us a call or send us a message when you're ready for pickup. We offer flexible scheduling and can usually arrange next-day or even same-day pickup depending on availability. You don't need to be present for pickup-just make sure the area around the dumpster is clear and accessible for our truck. |
