Mini Containers

We offer three types of mini containers: metal, plastic, and cardboard. Mini containers are perfect for job sites with limited space or for contractors who need a smaller, more maneuverable waste solution. They are easy to place and move around the site, making them a great fit for tight urban areas, high-rise buildings, or projects with limited access.

• Metal minis are perfect for disposing of debris in places where a full dumpster cannot reach, so you won’t have to carry every piece of scrap out to the dumpster by hand.
• Plastic minis are similar to metal minis, but they’re perfect for finished interior projects and the drywall phase of your projects because they won’t cause damage the way metal can.
• Cardboard boxes are a perfect option for LEED projects that require you to separate materials at the source and transport them separately to the recycling facility.

We typically reserve our mini containers for contractors. They are designed to meet the specific needs of construction, renovation, and demolition professionals who require compact, efficient debris management solutions on-site.

Homeowners don’t typically need them because there are more cost effective options for most home projects and smaller renovation jobs. We will be happy to help you evaluate your situation and make the best decision for your project.

Mini containers come in a range of sizes, and while they are more compact than traditional roll-off dumpsters, they still hold a significant amount of debris.

Yes! Our cardboard boxes are specifically designed for source-separating materials for recycling. However, all of our mini containers can be used for that purpose. We will service all mini containers set aside for recycling with a box truck that will transport each load back to our facility fully-separated. See more about our recycling initiatives here.

There are a few options for servicing your mini containers depending on your needs.

• Metal and plastic mini containers can be emptied into our packer trucks. We will then transport your debris back to our facility and leave the empty mini containers onsite for you to use again.
• Cardboard boxes are designed to be picked up by our box trucks and taken back to our facility for recycling. These boxes are for separating material types on site. We can also transport metal and plastic mini containers this way if you prefer to use them. If you need more, we can deliver new containers with the empty box truck when we arrive.
• Metal and plastic mini containers can also be emptied into a larger dumpster by your team if you prefer. Some choose to empty debris from the minis off of a loading dock and into a dumpster below.
