How to read the Philadelphia list
Ten of the 55 are based in Philadelphia itself and the other 45 run out to it from nearby towns. On rating alone it is Mauriello Disposal Inc at 5.0; on weight of evidence it is Junk Rescue & Dumpster Rentals, with 4,251 reviews. 11 of the 55 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.

Philadelphia is in Philadelphia County, PA.
What the Philadelphia dumpster market looks like
The 20-yard quotes here run from $350 at D & D Disposal up to $590 at Wicked Waste, Inc.. That is $240 of daylight between two companies covering the same town. 10 of the 55 are based in Philadelphia itself. The others run in from as far as 25 straight-line miles out, which is fine for a drop but tells you who is closest when a swap-out goes sideways. Junk Rescue & Dumpster Rentals is the most reviewed company serving Philadelphia, with 4,251 of the 10,979 reviews on this page and a 4.9 rating.
11 of the 55 publish a price you can read without calling. That is 20% of the Philadelphia market, and the quiet ones are not automatically dearer. A 20-yard runs $520 in the middle here against $475 across Pennsylvania, so Philadelphia prices 9% above the state. Tipping fees and haul distance are usually what is behind a gap like that. The sizes this town actually stocks are the 10-yard, the 15-yard, the 20-yard, the 30-yard, and the 40-yard, with 23 of the 55 carrying the 10-yard. Anything outside that is a special order somebody has to drive in.
Ratings here run from 5.0 down to 3.6. Mauriello Disposal Inc is the one at the top, on 785 reviews rather than a handful. The usual rental window quoted around Philadelphia is 7 days. Roll-Off Dumpster Direct publishes a longer one, which matters if the job slips a week. Included tonnage around Philadelphia lands near 1.5 tons, read off 13 published rates. Going over is where a cheap quote stops being cheap, so weigh the job honestly.
54 of the 55 run a website you can check before calling. The other one takes the job over the phone, which is common for the smaller yards and says nothing about the work: between them the 55 hold 10,979 reviews. The cheapest published anything in Philadelphia is a 10-yard at $250, from D & D Disposal. That is the floor on this page, not the price of the size you probably need.
What Philadelphia houses are made of
Philadelphia has 739,725 housing units with a median build year of 1949, 52% of them owner-occupied. Older stock is the harder kind to size for, because plaster and cast iron weigh far more per cubic yard than anything built since. Weight will cap the load before volume does.
What the weather adds to a Philadelphia dumpster bill
Philadelphia gets 48.5 inches of rain in a normal year, plus 15 inches of snow. An open container catches all of it, and the weight goes on the scale ticket with the rest of the load. 65 days a year drop below freezing, and a wet load that freezes is heavier and harder to tip. Tell the hauler if the container has frozen to the driveway before they send a truck. Ask for a tarp if it is going to stand through a wet week. NOAA 1991–2020 normals, from a station 1.5 miles out.

Common questions about dumpster rental in Philadelphia, PA
- How much does a 20-yard dumpster cost in Philadelphia?
- Companies serving Philadelphia that publish a price list a median of $520 for a 20-yard, against $475 across Pennsylvania. That is a starting price. Weight over the included allowance is billed separately.
- How cheap can a dumpster rental in Philadelphia get?
- The lowest published starting price among companies serving Philadelphia is $250. Check what the rate covers before booking on it. A low base price on a three-day period costs more than a higher one on fourteen if the work runs long.
- Which dumpster company should I use in Philadelphia?
- Wicked Waste, Inc. ranks first in Philadelphia on our Index Score, at 99 out of 100 on review volume, rating, published pricing and reachability, weighted. Mauriello Disposal Inc holds the highest Google rating among companies serving Philadelphia, at 5.0 across 785 reviews. Junk Rescue & Dumpster Rentals has the most reviews, 4,251 at 4.9. D & D Disposal lists the lowest published starting price at $250. Ratings settle as review counts climb, so a 5.0 from a dozen reviews carries less weight here than a 4.7 from three hundred.
- How many dumpster rental companies are in Philadelphia?
- We list 55 independently owned companies serving Philadelphia, 10 of them based in town. National carriers and brokers are not included.
- What size dumpster can you rent in Philadelphia?
- Companies serving Philadelphia list 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 20, 25, 30, 40 yard containers. Most household jobs here end up in a 20; a 10 is the answer for concrete or a small cleanout, and construction debris takes a 30 or 40.
- Why do dumpsters cost what they do in Philadelphia?
- The median published 20-yard price in Philadelphia is $520, 9% above the $475 median across Pennsylvania. Local competition moves the number as much as distance does. Towns with several yards in range price tighter than towns served by one.
- What does a 10-yard dumpster cost in Philadelphia?
- In Philadelphia: a 10-yard runs a median of $423 (6 companies), a 15-yard runs a median of $475 (7 companies), a 30-yard runs a median of $507 (6 companies), a 40-yard runs a median of $600 (3 companies). Most of what you buy stepping up a size is extra included weight, and a heavy load runs out of weight before it runs out of room.
- How long can you keep a dumpster in Philadelphia?
- The most common listed rental period among Philadelphia companies is 7 days, from the 23 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.
- Which dumpster companies are based in Philadelphia?
- 10 of the 55 companies we list are based in Philadelphia itself; the rest are within 25 miles and typically serve it. Being based in town often means a shorter haul and a cheaper quote, but not always, since what matters is the distance from their yard to the landfill, not the distance to you. Call one of each and compare.
