How to read the Rochester list

Five have a yard in Rochester; the remaining 3 cover it from somewhere else. On rating alone it is Gateway Dumpsters at 5.0; on weight of evidence it is Oaks Dumpster Rental, with 378 reviews. Two of the 8 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 Rochester, NY?

Updated regularly. Only 2 of the 8 companies serving Rochester publish a rate, too few to quote a local median, so the figures below are statewide.

Across New York, a 20-yard dumpster runs a median of $500, with most quotes between $410 and $550 (27 companies). Rochester should land near that unless it's far from a landfill, which pushes prices up.
