We’ve been serving Downey and all of Los Angeles County since 2011, and in that time, we’ve built our reputation one dumpster delivery at a time. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a garage cleanout, a contractor managing a demolition project, or a property manager preparing a foreclosure for resale, we’re here to make waste removal simple, affordable, and stress-free.
Our mission is straightforward: deliver the right dumpster at the right time for the right price. We offer same-day delivery across Downey and surrounding communities, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and a full range of roll-off dumpster sizes to fit any project. From 10-yard containers perfect for spring cleaning to 40-yard dumpsters built for major construction jobs, we’ve got you covered. And because we’re locally owned and operated, you’ll always work with people who understand the unique needs of California projects and take pride in serving our neighbors.
Gerard’s Hauling and Demo started in 2011 when our founder, Gerard, saw a gap in the Downey area for reliable, customer-focused waste removal services. After years of working in construction and demolition, he knew firsthand how frustrating it could be to deal with unreliable dumpster companies; late deliveries, surprise fees, and equipment that looked like it hadn’t been maintained in years. He wanted to do things differently.
So he bought his first two roll-off dumpsters, a truck, and started taking calls from his kitchen table. What began as a one-person operation has grown into one of the most trusted names in dumpster rental across Los Angeles County. Today, we operate a full fleet of well-maintained roll-off containers in every size, and we’ve helped thousands of residential and commercial clients complete their projects on time and on budget.
Our mission hasn’t changed: we make debris removal easy. Whether you need a small 10-yard dumpster for a weekend decluttering project or a 40-yard container for a full-scale demolition, we help you choose the right size, deliver it when you need it, and pick it up the moment you’re done. We treat every customer like a neighbor; because in Downey and throughout Los Angeles County, that’s exactly what you are.
We work with homeowners, general contractors, roofers, landscapers, property managers, real estate agents, and everyone in between. From residential home cleanouts to commercial construction sites, our team understands the unique challenges of waste management in California. And because we’re local, we’re never more than a phone call away when you need support, have questions, or want to extend your rental period.
Choosing the right dumpster size can feel overwhelming if you’ve never rented one before. That’s why we take the time to walk you through your options and recommend the container that fits your project perfectly. Here’s a breakdown of what we offer:
Our 10-yard dumpster is ideal for small home cleanouts, garage decluttering, minor landscaping projects, or single-room renovations. It holds roughly 3 to 4 pickup truck loads of debris, making it perfect for weekend warriors tackling attic cleanouts or clearing out years of accumulated junk from the basement. It’s compact, easy to place in tight driveways, and affordable for smaller budgets.
We also offer a 10-yard lowboy dumpster, which sits lower to the ground and makes it easier to load heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles without needing a ramp.
A 15-yard roll-off container is a step up and works well for medium home projects like basement or attic cleanouts, flooring removal, or small bathroom remodels. It’s also a great choice for yard waste from larger landscaping jobs or furniture disposal during a move.
This is our most popular size for residential customers. A 20-yard dumpster is perfect for kitchen or bathroom remodels, deck removal, carpet disposal, or whole-garage cleanouts. If you’re renovating a room or two and generating a mix of construction debris and household junk, this is usually the sweet spot.
When you’re tackling a whole house cleanout, a large renovation project, or a roofing job, a 30-yard dumpster gives you the capacity you need without going overboard. Contractors love this size for multi-room demolition work, estate cleanouts, or jobs that will generate several tons of construction debris over the course of a week or more.
Our largest option, the 40-yard roll-off dumpster, is built for major construction debris, full-scale demolition projects, and commercial cleanouts. If you’re tearing down walls, removing an entire roof, or clearing out a commercial property, this is the container that can handle the volume. It’s the workhorse of the dumpster world and the go-to choice for general contractors managing big jobs across Los Angeles County.
We know that projects don’t always start on schedule. Maybe your contractor showed up early, or you finally got the permit you’ve been waiting on for weeks. Whatever the reason, when you need a dumpster fast, we’ve got your back. We offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Downey and Los Angeles County, and we’re available seven days a week; including weekends and holidays.
Our standard rental period is 7 days, which gives you plenty of time to fill the container at your own pace. Need it longer? No problem. We offer flexible weekly extensions for ongoing projects, and if you’re managing a long-term construction site, we can set up a regular pickup and swap schedule that keeps your job site clean and compliant.
When you’re ready for pickup, just give us a call. We’ll come grab the dumpster on your schedule; no hassle, no delays. And if you’re placing the container in the street or a public right-of-way, we can advise you on whether you’ll need a permit from the city of Downey or your local municipality. Most of the time, if it’s going in your driveway or on private property, you’re good to go.
Our drop-off service is designed to be easy and safe. We’ll place the dumpster exactly where you need it, make sure it’s stable and accessible, and provide any guidance you need on weight limits or prohibited items. When the job is done, we handle all the heavy lifting; literally.
Homeowners across Downey and Los Angeles County trust us for all kinds of residential projects. We’ve delivered dumpsters for garage cleanouts, basement decluttering, attic purges, and whole-house estate cleanouts. Whether you’re finally tackling that spring cleaning project you’ve been putting off for years or preparing a home for sale, we make junk removal simple.
We also work with families going through major life transitions; moving to a new home, clearing out a loved one’s estate, or downsizing after retirement. Our team treats every project with care and respect, and we’re always happy to offer advice on what can be recycled, donated, or disposed of responsibly.
Common residential projects we support include:
General contractors, roofers, framers, plumbers, electricians, and demolition crews have relied on us for over a decade to keep their job sites clean and compliant. We understand the demands of construction work in California; tight timelines, changing schedules, and the need for dependable service that doesn’t slow you down.
Whether you’re working on a single-family remodel or a multi-unit commercial build, we offer flexible rental terms, reliable delivery, and dumpsters that can handle everything from drywall scraps to concrete rubble. We also provide long-term rental options for contractors managing projects that span weeks or months.
Common contractor projects we serve:
Property managers, real estate agents, and estate executors face unique challenges when it comes to waste removal. We’ve supported countless foreclosure cleanouts, rental property turnovers, hoarder cleanouts, and estate preparations across Los Angeles County. Our approach is always discreet, compassionate, and professional.
We understand that these situations can be sensitive, and we work quickly and respectfully to help you prepare a property for resale, rental, or transfer. Whether it’s clearing decades of belongings from a family home or hauling away years of accumulated debris from a neglected rental, we’re here to help.
We’ve streamlined the rental process so you can get back to your project as quickly as possible.
Step 1: Call Us or Request a Quote Online
Tell us about your project; what you’re throwing away, how much debris you expect, and when you need the dumpster delivered. We’ll recommend the right size and give you an upfront, all-inclusive price quote with no hidden fees.
Step 2: Schedule Your Delivery
Pick a delivery date and time that works for you. We offer same-day delivery across Downey and most of Los Angeles County, and we’ll confirm your appointment so you know exactly when to expect us.
Step 3: We Deliver, You Fill, We Haul
We’ll drop off a clean, well-maintained dumpster right where you need it. Fill it up at your own pace during your rental period, then give us a call when you’re ready for pickup. We’ll handle the rest; hauling it away and disposing of your debris responsibly.
One of the biggest frustrations we hear from customers is surprise fees; charges that magically appear after the dumpster is delivered. Weight overages. Environmental fees. “Fuel surcharges.” Mystery line items that were never discussed upfront.
We don’t do business that way. When we give you a quote, it includes everything: delivery, pickup, your rental period, disposal fees, and all applicable taxes. The price we quote is the price you pay. No games. No fine print.
Our rates are competitive across Los Angeles County, and we’re proud to offer some of the best value in the dumpster rental industry. Whether you’re a homeowner working on a tight budget or a contractor managing multiple jobs, we’ll work with you to find a solution that fits.
Getting a quote is easy. You can call us anytime; we’re available 24/7; or fill out a quick online form and we’ll get back to you within minutes. We’ll ask a few questions about your project, recommend the right dumpster size, and provide a clear, itemized quote that breaks down exactly what you’re paying for.
We also offer discounts for repeat customers, contractors with ongoing projects, and select seasonal promotions. Ask us about current deals when you call.
We take our environmental responsibility seriously. While not every item that goes into our dumpsters can be recycled, we partner with local waste management facilities across California to ensure that recyclable materials; like metal, cardboard, and certain plastics; are diverted from landfills whenever possible.
We also work with donation centers and salvage yards to give usable items a second life. Furniture in good condition, working appliances, and building materials that can be reused don’t need to end up in a landfill, and we’re happy to help connect you with organizations that can put them to good use.
Our disposal practices comply with all Los Angeles County and California waste regulations, and we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint while still providing fast, reliable service.
We’ve been doing this for over 13 years, and in that time, we’ve learned what really matters to customers. Here’s what sets us apart:
Pricing depends on the size of the dumpster, your rental period, and the type of debris you’re disposing of. A 10-yard container for a weekend home cleanout will cost less than a 30-yard dumpster for a two-week roofing project. The best way to get an accurate price is to call us for a free quote. We’ll ask a few questions about your project and give you an upfront, all-inclusive price with no hidden fees.
For small projects like a garage or single-room cleanout, a 10 or 15-yard dumpster is usually plenty. For most home renovations; like a kitchen remodel or bathroom tear-out; a 20-yard container is the sweet spot. If you’re doing a whole-house cleanout or a major renovation, you’ll likely need a 30 or 40-yard dumpster. Not sure? Just call us. We’ll help you figure it out based on the scope of your project.
Yes! We offer same-day delivery throughout Downey and most of Los Angeles County, seven days a week. Just give us a call as early in the day as possible, and we’ll do our best to get a dumpster to you the same day. If same-day isn’t available, we can almost always deliver next-day.
Our standard rental period is 7 days, which gives you plenty of time to complete most projects. If you need it longer, we offer flexible weekly extensions. Just let us know, and we’ll adjust your rental period; no problem. For long-term construction projects, we can also set up a regular swap schedule to keep your site clean.
You can dispose of most household junk, construction debris, yard waste, furniture, appliances, flooring, drywall, wood, metal, shingles, concrete, and general trash. We do have some restrictions: no hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, asbestos), tires, batteries, propane tanks, or electronics. If you’re not sure whether something is allowed, just ask; we’re happy to help.
If the dumpster is going in your driveway or on private property, you typically don’t need a permit. If you need to place it in the street or on a public right-of-way, you may need a permit from the city of Downey or your local municipality. We can advise you on the requirements and point you in the right direction.
A 20-yard dumpster holds about 20 cubic yards of debris; roughly equivalent to 8 pickup truck loads. It’s perfect for medium-sized projects like single-room renovations or moderate cleanouts. A 30-yard dumpster holds 50% more and is better suited for larger jobs like whole-house cleanouts, multi-room demolitions, or roofing projects. If you’re on the fence, we can help you decide based on the amount of debris you expect to generate.
It’s easy. Just call us or fill out our online quote form. We’ll ask a few questions about your project, recommend the right dumpster size, and schedule a delivery time that works for you. We’ll drop it off, you fill it up, and when you’re done, we’ll come pick it up. Simple as that.

Not sure which size fits your project? We're here to help. Give us a call and describe your project-whether it's a kitchen remodel, full-home cleanout, or construction job. Our team will recommend the perfect size based on your needs. Remember, it's better to go slightly larger than risk needing a second pickup. We offer free consultations to ensure you get it right the first time.
For safety and legal transport, waste must not exceed the top rim (fill line) of the dumpster. Overfilled containers cannot be picked up. If you exceed your included tonnage, additional weight fees apply-but we'll always notify you upfront with transparent pricing. If you're getting close to full, just call us. We can deliver an additional dumpster or swap you into a larger size quickly.
We cannot accept hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, asbestos), electronics, batteries, tires, medical waste, or flammable liquids. Most household junk, construction debris, furniture, appliances, and yard waste are perfectly fine. Unsure about a specific item? Just ask-we're happy to guide you on proper disposal. We're committed to eco-friendly disposal practices and can recommend recycling options for restricted materials.
If placing the dumpster on your private property (driveway, yard), you typically don't need a permit in Downey. However, if you need street or public property placement, a permit from the City of Downey may be required. We're familiar with local regulations and happy to walk you through the permit process if needed.
Choose a flat, solid surface like a driveway, parking lot, or street (with permit). Ensure there's clearance for delivery truck access-at least 60 feet of overhead clearance (for power lines) and 10 feet of width. Avoid soft ground, grass, or sloped areas. We provide protective boards upon request to prevent driveway damage. Our experienced drivers will help position the dumpster safely.
Our standard rental period is 7 days, but we offer flexible scheduling including weekend rentals, extended weekly rentals, and monthly terms. Need more time? Extensions are easy-just give us a call. There's no rush. Work at your own pace, and we'll pick up when you're ready.
We offer same-day delivery throughout Downey and Los Angeles County when you call before noon. Next-day delivery is also available. Pickup is scheduled at your convenience-simply call when your dumpster is full or your project is complete. Our drivers are punctual, professional, and respectful of your property.
We take every precaution to protect your property. Upon request, we provide wooden boards to place under the dumpster to distribute weight and prevent surface damage. Our drivers are trained in careful, precise placement. Since 2011, we've served thousands of Downey properties with an excellent track record of damage-free service.
