Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about renting a dumpster from Junk Box — if you don’t see your question here, call or text us at (253) 344-0337.

How much weight is included?

Every size comes with weight included — a half ton on the 10 yard, a full ton on the 20, 22, and 32 yard. Go over and it’s $210/ton, prorated, so a little over won’t wreck your bill.

How long do I get to keep the dumpster?

3 days on the 10 yard, 5 days on the 20, 22, and 32 yard. Need more time? It’s $35/day past that.

What can’t go in the dumpster?

The following items are not accepted: paints, stains, varnishes, and paint thinners; all chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, pool chemicals, solvents, acids, bleach, automotive fluids, antifreeze, brake fluid, fuel); fluorescent bulbs and tubes; motor, cooking, and other oils; ammunition or explosives; garden chemicals; propane tanks; batteries (automotive, lithium-ion, rechargeable); tires; asbestos-containing materials; medical or biohazardous waste.

What about appliances with Freon?

Appliances containing Freon (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, water coolers, dehumidifiers, ice makers, beverage/wine coolers) are accepted for an additional disposal fee. If you’re unsure whether an item is allowed, contact us before loading — we’re happy to help you avoid extra charges.

How much does it cost?

10 Yard: $490 · 20 Yard: $625 · 22 Yard: $675 · 32 Yard: $700. All prices apply within 25 miles of Tacoma; outside that radius it’s $3.50/mile one way. See the full pricing page for details. Gig Harbor deliveries also include a $16 Narrows Bridge toll fee.

What areas do you serve?

Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, University Place, Fircrest, Steilacoom, Federal Way, Spanaway, Auburn, Gig Harbor, and Olympia.

Will it damage my driveway?

Just ask and we’ll place boards under the wheels before the dumpster goes down — available on request for any delivery.

Is there a delivery or pickup fee?

No. Delivery and pickup are included in the flat price anywhere within 25 miles of Tacoma. Past 25 miles it is $3.50 per mile one way, and Gig Harbor adds a $16 Narrows Bridge toll.

When do I pay?

The rental price is due on delivery day. Any weight overage ($210 per ton, prorated) or extra days ($35 per day) are billed after pickup, once we have the dump scale ticket.

How can I pay?

Credit or debit card, cash, Zelle or Cash App.

Is sales tax included in your prices?

No. Our prices are before Washington sales tax, which is charged at the rate for your delivery address. In Tacoma that is 10.5% for 2026, so a 20 yard is $625 + $65.63 tax = $690.63.
