How this ranking works. Ordered by Index Score, out of 100: review volume 35, rating 25, published pricing 25, contactability 15. Publishing your rates moves you up, and that is the only way up. We don't sell placement. Distances are from each company's listed address, and service areas aren't confirmed with owners, so call to check they cover you. Full method.
How to read the Durham list
The list splits Two in town and 20 travelling in. On rating alone it is Peak Disposal at 5.0; on weight of evidence it is Count Junkula Junk Removal, with 1,256 reviews. Seven of the 22 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 Durham, NC?
Updated regularly. Based on 19 published prices from 7 of the 22 companies serving Durham.
| Size | Median price | Range | Included weight | Included days | Companies |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | $270 | $240 to $345 | 1.5 tons | 7 days | 3 |
| 15 yard | $325 | $260 to $375 | 1.75 tons | 8.5 days | 5 |
| 20 yard | $375 | $295 to $425 | 2 tons | 7 days | 5 |
| 30 yard | $498 | $395 to $550 | 1.25 tons | 10.5 days | 4 |
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. A published rate covers the container and the haul and little else. Overage, permits and extra days are billed separately, so treat these as a floor, not a quote.
What dumpster sizes can you rent in Durham?

Drawn to scale against each other. Note that a 20, 30 and 40 take up the same floor space and differ only in how tall the walls are, so if a 20 fits your driveway a 40 will too.

| 10–15 yard | Household cleanout, single-room remodel, small yard job |
| 20 yard | Roofing tear-off, whole-home cleanout, small construction |

You can price 7 of these 22 companies without picking up the phone. The rest quote on the call, so have your size and your dates ready.
A 20-yard here runs $375 at the middle of the market, which is level with North Carolina as a whole.

- What dumpster sizes can I get in Durham?
- Companies serving Durham list 6, 10, 13, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 40 yard containers. Match the container to the job: a 10 for a single room or dense debris, a 20 for a roof or remodel, a 30 or 40 for a clearance or a build.
- How do Durham dumpster prices compare to the rest of North Carolina?
- The median published 20-yard price in Durham is $375, essentially the same as the $375 median across North Carolina. Tipping fees are set by the landfill, not the hauler, so prices can step up sharply across a county line for no visible reason.
- What are dumpster prices by size in Durham?
- In Durham: a 10-yard runs a median of $270 (3 companies), a 15-yard runs a median of $325 (5 companies), a 30-yard runs a median of $498 (4 companies). The gap in price between sizes is smaller than the gap in what they hold, so the larger container is usually the better value per yard.
- How many days do you get with a dumpster in Durham?
- The most common listed rental period among Durham companies is 7 days, from the 7 that publish one. Extra days are usually billed at a daily rate. Most companies will collect early at no extra charge, so book the shorter period and call when you finish.

- 2 of the 22 companies we list are based in Durham itself; the rest are within 25 miles and typically serve it. Staying local can buy you same-day delivery and an easier callback when the job overruns, which is worth more on a tight schedule than a small difference in the base rate.
