Three steps, one phone call

1

Reserve it

Dial (619) 332-4237 or tap any button on this page. Let us know the project and the date — we lock in the size and the placement while you're still on the phone.

2

We drop it off

We place the container exactly where you want it, boards underneath, door oriented the way you requested. You don't need to be there.

3

We pick it up

Give us a call or send a text once you're finished. We come get it and haul everything off, typically the next business day.

Six reasons El Cajon trusts us

Correct size on the first delivery

Describe your project and we'll recommend the right container, including when a smaller one will handle it.

Licensed and fully insured

Covered for both residential and commercial jobs throughout CA. We send certificates on request.

Family run, never a middleman

You speak directly with the people who own the trucks — not a dispatch center in another state.

A full week on every rental

Seven days on site is included with every container, and scheduling pickup takes one text.

Everything handled in one call

Give us the project and the date. We lock in the size and the placement before you hang up.

Same-day delivery for early orders

Call before 1pm and we can typically have a container at your property that same afternoon.

What you can load in the container

If you have a question about a particular item, check with us before tossing it in — it prevents a rejected haul.

Allowed

General household junk and furniture
Renovation and demolition debris
Asphalt and composition shingles
Lumber, sheets of plywood and trim pieces
Drywall, plaster and stucco
Carpet, underlayment and flooring materials
Old cabinets and countertop sections
Deck boards and fence panels

Note: yard waste, soil, concrete and brick are too heavy for a mixed load and require a dedicated heavy-debris container — Call (619) 332-4237 and we'll bring the right one.

Family run, never a middleman

Dominique Ashford has spent 20 years hauling debris across El Cajon — starting on someone else's crew, now running their own. When you dial (619) 332-4237, you reach the family that owns the containers, drives the routes and picks up the phone on a Saturday morning.

A lot of dumpster websites are brokers who hand your job off to whoever is available. We are the crew that actually shows up.

Frequently asked questions

Which size do most homeowners go with?
The 20 yard. It covers a kitchen renovation or a full-home cleanout, and it is the container we deliver most often in El Cajon. If your project is smaller, we will let you know and bring the 10 or 15 instead.
Will I need a permit in El Cajon?
Not if the container sits on a private driveway. If it needs to go on a public street, El Cajon requires a right-of-way permit — we will point you to the exact office to contact.
Where exactly do you place the container?
Wherever our truck can safely reach — your driveway, side yard, or the street if you have a permit. Let us know which direction you want the door to face and we will set it up that way.
How many days can I keep the container?
Seven days is included with every size. Need more time? Call or text us before the scheduled pickup and we will extend it.
Is same-day dumpster delivery possible?
In most cases, yes — place your order before 1pm on a weekday and we will fit you into that afternoon's route. Orders after 1pm go out on the first run the following morning.
