Call (507) 516-5784Sizing for an Elgin job
The container that suits your job depends on the material far more than the address. Here is the full comparison.
| Size | Dimensions (L×W×H) | Holds about | Weight allowance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 12′ × 8′ × 3.5′ | 3–4 pickup loads | 1–2 tons | Bathroom remodels, small cleanouts, concrete |
| 15 Yard | 16′ × 8′ × 4′ | 5–6 pickup loads | 2–3 tons | Garage & porch clearouts, single-room renos |
| 20 Yard | 22′ × 8′ × 4.5′ | 7–8 pickup loads | 3–4 tons | Roof tear-offs, kitchen renos, big cleanouts |
| 30 Yard | 22′ × 8′ × 6′ | 10–12 pickup loads | 4–5 tons | New builds, additions, whole-home cleanouts |
Heavy material — concrete, brick, ceramic tile, stucco, wet vegetation — needs a smaller container than the volume suggests. Bulky light material like furniture, mattresses and drywall needs a bigger one. The sizing guide explains why.
How delivery works in Elgin
- 1
Call and describe the job
Tell us what you're clearing and where you are. Lena Gerhardt or a dispatcher will size it with you in about three minutes — no forms, no waiting on an email quote.
- 2
Lock in a flat rate
You get one number that covers delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal up to your weight allowance. We tell you the overage rate up front so nothing lands on your invoice later.
- 3
We deliver and protect
Our driver calls ahead, lays boards under the rails on driveways and pavers, and sets the can exactly where you want it — doors facing the work.
- 4
Fill it, we haul it
Load to the fill line, call when you're done, and we pull it. Worth knowing: waste that starts in Olmsted County is not permitted to leave it — and most of what we collect is burned for energy rather than buried. That changes what fits, and who may carry it.

Dumpster rental in Elgin — your questions
Which county is Elgin in?
Wabasha County. Olmsted County's designation requirement applies to waste that originates in Olmsted County, so a different set of arrangements applies here. We serve both and will confirm which is yours.
Do you handle farm clearances?
Regularly. They need sorting before loading — fuel, motor oil, agricultural chemicals, batteries and tires all have to come out first, and the scrap metal is worth separating both for value and because it is not accepted at the burner.
Will you come out for a small job?
Yes. A day or two of notice helps us batch the north-eastern run, but a small container to a small town is a normal day's work.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster to Elgin?
Elgin is 25 minutes north-east from our yard on Marion Road. Same-day delivery is frequently available if you call before mid-morning, and next-day is close to guaranteed. We call ahead before the driver arrives.
What sizes do you bring to Elgin?
All four — 10, 15, 20 and 30 yard. Which one suits depends far more on what you are throwing away than on where you live. Describe the material on the phone and we will size it properly.

If you are on the edge of Elgin or working across a boundary, we very likely cover both sides.
