Dumpster Rental in
Bellevue, WA
Whether the job is off Northeast 8th Street or anywhere else in Bellevue, ZTERS delivers roll-off dumpsters in 10 to 40 yard sizes — the 10 yard at $855-$1070 for a 10-day rental.
Mon–Fri 5am–5pm PT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
The price for every size is printed on this page, the order happens in one phone call, and the container arrives on the date you set. That is the arrangement, whether it is a weekend cleanout or a job site on its third container.
Bellevue runs from tech-adjacent condos and townhomes in the Spring District to established single-family blocks in Woodridge and Lake Hills. A downtown condo remodel usually means a smaller container and mostly light material — drywall, cabinetry, flooring — while the older homes further out generate real construction debris from additions and full kitchen tear-outs. Bigger lots on the east side can also mean a whole-yard cleanup on top of the renovation itself, which changes the size math.
Downtown near Bellevue Way Northeast, most drops go into parking structures or loading areas rather than a driveway, and access there is about clearance more than distance. Out in Crossroads and Woodridge, ordinary residential driveways are the norm, and the truck's straight-approach requirement is the bigger factor. Near Robinswood Pond, tree cover runs heavier than in the newer subdivisions, so overhead clearance is worth checking before delivery day. Stand where you want the container and look straight up — a low branch is the most common thing that stops a drop that looked fine on paper.

- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
For jobs that sound small and weigh a lot — tile, plaster, a concrete stoop — the 10 yard is the right call at $855 to $1070. Dense debris hits the weight allowance before it ever needs the space.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
The 20 yard runs $975 to $1190: room for a whole floor's recarpeting, a roof tear-off within its weight allowance, or the accumulated half of a basement.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
Commercial jobs and full demolitions book the 40 yard, $1135 to $1400. If the approach bends or slopes, ask about running two smaller containers instead.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard is the same footprint as the 10 with taller walls, which suits bulky-but-light loads: furniture, carpet, a garage that filled itself over a decade.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
The 30 yard is the clearout size: attic, basement and garage in one container, $1045 to $1225. Tall sides add capacity, not weight allowance, so concrete and dirt still price by weight.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Bellevue, WA
For homeowners
Most household jobs are cleanouts and remodels: furniture, boxes, carpet, cabinets, the layers a house builds up over years. That debris is bulky rather than heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard on a Bellevue driveway usually covers it, with room left to park beside it.
For contractors
Jobsite loads run heavier than household ones. Shingles, plaster and tile reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty, so crews often run a smaller container and swap it out rather than overload one. Stage it where the truck gets a straight shot in and the swaps stay quick.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Bellevue
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Bellevue, WA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Bellevue varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Bellevue
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $855 – $1070 | $240 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $975 – $1190 | $195 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $1045 – $1225 | $165 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1135 – $1400 | $250 | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Bellevue address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (877) 588-7412 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Bellevue
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bellevue dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Bellevue dumpster costs range from $855 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1400 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
Usually quickly, but it depends on the week. Deliveries are grouped by direction, so how soon a container reaches Bellevue comes down to what is already on the schedule for that part of the map.
If the project has a firm start date, call a couple of days ahead of it. Same-week drops happen all the time; counting on one without asking first is how people end up waiting.
Three things before the truck arrives. Surface: a level spot on pavement or packed gravel, long enough for the container plus a straight run in behind it. Clearance: nothing overhead, because the bed tilts higher than the container stands and a low limb or service line stops the drop cold. Access: move vehicles off the drive the night before and unlock any gate the driver would need.
Plywood under the rails keeps a soft or freshly sealed driveway from marking. Mark the spot if you will not be home. A blocked drop usually turns into a trip charge and a rescheduled delivery, which is the one avoidable cost in the whole rental.
Street placement isn't the norm in Bellevue — most containers go on a driveway or private lot, and putting one on the street or right-of-way instead requires its own permit, plus reflective markings after dark. In dense pockets like Midlakes or Belridge where driveways are short, that's sometimes the only option, but a driveway avoids the extra step entirely when there's room for one.
A permit is only needed when the dumpster sits on a public street or right-of-way — on your own driveway or property, none is required. The City of Bellevue's permit services division issues street permits when one's needed, and it's worth checking early for tight lots near Eastgate Public Health Center where a driveway might not fit the container at all.
ZTERS delivers all over Bellevue, from Sammamish Heights and Salishan through Morningside Estates and out to Windsong at Coal Creek. Near Bellevue College and Larsen Lake, drivers handle a mix of campus-adjacent apartments and quiet residential streets; toward Redmond and Kirkland, lots tend to run larger with more room to stage the truck.
