Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size dumpster is best for a small renovation?

    A 15-yard dumpster is ideal for small to mid-size renovations, including bathroom remodels, kitchen updates, and single-room projects. It handles construction debris without taking up excessive driveway or jobsite space. At SouthBay Services, we focus exclusively on this size to ensure reliable availability and efficient placement across Mobile-area homes and worksites.
  • How long can I keep a roll-off dumpster?

    Rental periods vary based on project needs, from short-term weekend cleanouts to long-term multi-week or multi-month projects. SouthBay Services offers flexible scheduling for both quick turnarounds and extended renovations or phased construction. Clear rental terms help contractors and homeowners plan around project timelines without surprise fees.
  • What's the difference between short-term and long-term dumpster rentals?

    Short-term rentals suit quick projects like weekend cleanouts or fast remodels, with efficient drop-off and pickup. Long-term rentals support ongoing renovations, phased construction, or managed properties needing consistent debris removal over weeks or months. Both options use the same 15-yard container size for predictable capacity and placement.
  • Can a 15-yard dumpster fit in a residential driveway?

    Yes, a 15-yard roll-off dumpster is compact enough for most residential driveways and urban spaces. Its manageable footprint reduces the risk of blocking access or damaging landscaping. At SouthBay Services, our local team understands Mobile-area placement logistics and jobsite access limitations to ensure smooth delivery.
  • What can I put in a construction dumpster rental?

    Construction dumpsters typically accept remodeling debris, drywall, lumber, flooring, roofing materials, and general jobsite waste. Hazardous materials, liquids, and certain electronics are usually prohibited. SouthBay Services' 15-yard containers are sized for light to mid-size construction projects, helping crews keep jobsites safe and organized throughout Mobile and nearby communities.
  • How does dumpster delivery work for property managers?

    Delivery is scheduled based on turnover timelines, with the 15-yard container placed at apartment complexes or managed residential sites. SouthBay Services provides reliable scheduling to support tight unit cleanout and maintenance deadlines. Our local team is familiar with multi-property logistics across Mobile, Daphne, and Fairhope.
  • Why do contractors prefer 15-yard dumpsters?

    Contractors value the 15-yard size for its balance of capacity and compact footprint, making it suitable for roofing, remodeling, and repair projects. It reduces jobsite clutter without requiring excessive space or permits. SouthBay Services offers clear rental terms and easy delivery, helping crews across Mobile stay on schedule and maintain professional worksites.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make when renting a dumpster?

    Many customers choose the wrong size—too large wastes money, while too small requires a second rental. A 15-yard dumpster fits most residential cleanouts, small remodels, and light construction projects efficiently. At SouthBay Services, we help Mobile-area customers match container size to project scope, avoiding overage fees and delays.
  • Are roll-off dumpsters available for same-day delivery in Mobile?

    Availability depends on scheduling and demand, but locally operated providers often accommodate urgent needs.

  • How do real estate agents use dumpster rentals?

    Agents rent dumpsters for estate cleanouts, pre-listing renovations, and property prep to improve home presentation before sale. A 15-yard container handles furniture, debris, and household materials efficiently. SouthBay Services supports real estate professionals across Mobile, Fairhope, and Spanish Fort with prompt delivery and straightforward scheduling to meet tight listing timelines.
  • Can I use a dumpster for old fencing and posts?

    Yes, 15-yard dumpsters are well-suited for fencing removal projects, including old wood, vinyl, chain link, and metal posts. The compact size works well on residential and roadside sites without blocking access. SouthBay Services helps fencing crews across Mobile maintain clean, professional job locations throughout installation and removal projects.
  • What affects the cost of a dumpster rental?

    Cost factors include rental duration, debris type, weight, and delivery distance. Flat-rate pricing often covers a set period and weight limit, with fees for overages or extended time.
