Matching a Container to the Job
What the job produces decides the size, not the size of the property. Typical Fairfield County jobs and what they cost:
- Garage, attic or basement clearout: 10 or 12 yard at $579 to $919, one ton covers most household loads
- Kitchen or bathroom remodel: 15 yard at $579 to $919, cabinets, tile and subfloor fill it quickly
- Roof tear-off: 20 yard at $579 to $919. One square of asphalt shingles weighs roughly 250 lbs, so a 20-square roof runs about 2.5 tons
- Whole-house renovation: 30 yard at $579 to $919, plaster and lath push the weight up faster than volume suggests
- New construction or demolition: 40 yard on scheduled swap-outs so framing offcuts never stop the crew
- Concrete, brick or soil: a dedicated 10 yard heavy-debris container, because 10 cubic yards of concrete weighs around 20 tons

Delivery and Placement in Fairfield County
A roll-off truck needs a clear approach to set a container down. Before delivery, check the spot has:
- 10ft of width for the container and the truck body
- 23ft of straight-line length so the box can roll off the bed
- 14ft of overhead clearance, which rules out low branches, carport roofs and some utility lines
Fill to the top rail and no higher. A container loaded above the rim cannot legally be tarped or hauled, so an overfilled box means a return trip. On block paving or fresh asphalt we lay boards under the rails at no charge.
What You Can Put In
Accepted in Fairfield County: household junk, construction and demolition debris, timber, drywall, metal, furniture, non-refrigerant appliances, roofing shingles and yard waste. Not accepted: hazardous liquids, tyres, asbestos, and appliances containing refrigerant. Concrete, brick, block and soil are accepted but must go in a dedicated heavy-debris container rather than a mixed load. The full list is in our accepted materials guide.
Permits in Fairfield County
No permit is needed for a container on private property anywhere in Fairfield County, driveways included. Street placement is set by the individual municipality rather than the county, so the rule depends on where you are: Bethel, Botsford, Bridgeport, Brookfield and Cos Cob each set their own right-of-way rules and processing times. Confirm with the local office before your delivery date and we will position the container to whatever they specify.
