How to read the Ankeny list
One has a yard in Ankeny; the remaining 12 cover it from somewhere else. Dumpster King is both the best-rated and the most-reviewed of them, at 5.0 across 227 Google reviews. Four of the 13 publish a rate on their own site; the rest quote by phone. That split is typical, and it is why the medians here are worth having.
How much does a dumpster cost in Ankeny, IA?
Updated regularly. Based on 16 published prices from 4 of the 13 companies serving Ankeny.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $293 | $280 to $300 | 1.25 tons | 8.5 days | 4 |
| 20 yard | $340 | $325 to $380 | 1.25 tons | 8.5 days | 4 |
| 30 yard | $440 | $440 to $455 | ask | 10 days | 3 |
Weight and days are the local medians among companies publishing those terms; "ask" means fewer than two local companies state it. Over the allowance bills per ton, so the weight column is the one that separates two similar prices.
These are rates each company publishes on its own website, collected by our crawler and not confirmed with the owner. They're a starting price for the container and the haul. Weight over the included allowance, permits, and extra rental days are billed on top, so the number you pay is usually higher than the number you see here. Call to get the all-in figure.
