Our story started in 2005 when our founder, a fourth-generation Iowa City native, noticed a frustrating gap in the local waste management industry. Too many residents and small contractors were stuck dealing with unreliable service, confusing pricing, and dumpster companies that treated customers like just another number. Armed with a single truck, two roll-off dumpsters, and a promise to do things differently, Dusty’s Disposal & Dumpster Rental was born.
What began as a small operation focused on residential cleanouts quickly grew as word spread throughout Johnson County. We listened to our customers, expanded our fleet, and added commercial construction services to meet the needs of local contractors and property managers. Today, we’re proud to be a family-owned business with deep roots in Iowa City; and we still operate with the same values that guided us from day one.
Our mission is simple: make junk removal and debris disposal as stress-free as possible. With our team’s combined decades of experience in waste services, we know exactly what it takes to deliver exceptional service on every single job. Whether you’re a first-time renter or a repeat commercial client, you’ll experience the difference that comes from working with a local company that truly cares.
What sets us apart from the competition:
We’re proud to serve Iowa City and the surrounding Johnson County communities. When you work with us, you’re not just renting a dumpster; you’re partnering with neighbors who are invested in keeping our community clean, safe, and thriving.
Whether you need a small dumpster rental for a garage cleanout or a large commercial container for construction debris, we have the perfect size roll-off dumpster for your needs. Choosing the right size saves you money and ensures your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
10 Yard Dumpster Rental
Our 10-yard dumpster is ideal for smaller projects around the house. Perfect for bathroom remodels, garage cleanouts, or minor landscaping work, this compact container holds approximately 3-4 pickup truck loads of debris. It’s also our most popular choice for homeowners with limited driveway space who still need professional waste removal.
15 Yard Dumpster Rental
Step up to our 15-yard dumpster for medium-sized projects like basement cleanouts, deck removal, or renovation work. With a capacity of roughly 4-6 pickup truck loads, this size is a popular choice for estate cleanouts and whole-room remodeling projects. It strikes the perfect balance between capacity and footprint.
20 Yard Dumpster Rental
Our 20-yard dumpster is our most popular residential size for good reason. It’s perfect for whole-home cleanouts, roofing projects, flooring removal, and larger renovation work. Holding approximately 6-8 pickup truck loads, this versatile container handles most residential projects with ease while still fitting comfortably in standard driveways.
30 Yard Dumpster Rental
When your project demands serious capacity, our 30-yard dumpster delivers. Ideal for large renovation projects, commercial property cleanouts, and new construction sites, this container holds approximately 9-12 pickup truck loads. Contractors and property managers throughout Johnson County rely on this size for its excellent balance of capacity and manageability.
40 Yard Dumpster Rental
Our largest option, the 40-yard dumpster, is built for maximum capacity on major projects. Whether you’re handling a complete demolition, large-scale construction, or commercial property cleanout, this container holds approximately 12-16 pickup truck loads. When you need the biggest we offer, this is it.
10 Yard Lowboy Dumpster
We also offer a 10-yard lowboy dumpster; a lower-profile container that’s easier to load by hand. This is perfect for heavy materials like concrete, brick, or dirt, where throwing debris over high walls isn’t practical. It’s a favorite among landscapers and renovation crews working with dense materials.
