Dumpster Rental in
Alexandria, NH
ZTERS serves Alexandria and its neighbors across Grafton County with roll-off dumpsters from 10 to 40 yards. A 10 yard runs $861-$1020, and the rental includes 10 days to load it.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
No quote-chasing: the numbers for New Hampshire are on the page. One call books the container, one account manager owns the order until pickup, and the delivery date you set is the one the truck works to.
A 10-yard dumpster takes a bathroom tear-down or kitchen remodel. The 20-yard steps up for whole-room cleanouts. Roofing jobs run heavy and dense, so a smaller size fills faster—check the weight limit before committing to the small container if you're stripping asphalt shingles.
Alexandria is tucked in Grafton County where Summer Street and Pleasant Street wind through both residential areas and older rural properties. Driveways vary from wide level yards to tight pulls along tree-lined roads. Before scheduling, make sure your intended spot is on level ground and clear of power lines overhead. A 12-foot straight shot to the container location is ideal—if your drive is tight, we can work around it, but planning ahead prevents setups from taking longer than the delivery window.
Dumpster Sizes in Alexandria
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Alexandria, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
The 10 yard runs $861 to $1020 and is the pick when debris is dense: tile, plaster and shingles reach the weight limit long before a bigger container would look full.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
The 20 yard runs $975 to $1190: room for a whole floor's recarpeting, a roof tear-off within its weight allowance, or the accumulated half of a basement.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
The 40 yard at $1235 to $1390 holds bulk, not weight: the walls run eight feet, so loading means a ramp, a ladder or the rear door, and dense material hits the truck's legal limit long before the rim.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
The 15 yard carries the awkward loads: couches, cabinets, forty bags from an attic. Taller than the 10, no longer, so the truck places it anywhere a 10 goes.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
The 30 yard runs $1085 to $1200 and has tall walls, so it earns its price on bulk rather than weight: siding, framing, a whole-house clearout.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Residential and Construction Dumpster Rental in Alexandria, NH
For homeowners
Cleanouts, moves, remodels, a yard that got away — homeowner debris is mostly light and bulky, and a 10 or 20 yard handles it from the driveway. If the job includes tile, plaster or concrete, say so when you book: dense material changes which size is right.
For contractors
Jobsite loads run heavier than household ones. Shingles, plaster and tile reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half empty, so crews often run a smaller container and swap it out rather than overload one. Stage it where the truck gets a straight shot in and the swaps stay quick.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Alexandria
- Call for a quote. Describe the debris, the address, and the dates. One account manager takes the order and stays on it.
- Pick the size and the spot. Clear a straight run for the truck and check for low branches or wires over the drop point.
- Load it. Keep everything level with or below the top rail, and keep heavy material in a low, even layer.
- Call for pickup. Ring the same number when you are done, or at the end of the rental period.
How Much Does a Dumpster Rental Cost in Alexandria, NH?
Dumpster rental pricing in Alexandria varies with disposal costs, debris weight, rental length, and delivery distance. The ranges below reflect recent local pricing rather than a fixed quote — the final number depends on the size you pick and what goes in it.
Estimated Dumpster Rental Costs in Alexandria
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $861 – $1020 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $975 – $1190 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $1085 – $1200 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1235 – $1390 | — | Up to 10 days | 5–8 tons |
* Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance from the yard, fuel, and how easy the drop spot is to reach. Where it shows as included, it is already inside the range.
** Each rental carries a base weight allowance. Debris over that allowance is billed as an adjustment at pickup.
Why Is There a Price Range?
Five things move the number inside that range:
- Debris type. Clean wood and household junk dispose cheaply. Shingles, plaster, tile, dirt and concrete are billed by weight and hit the allowance early.
- Weight. A container can reach its tonnage cap while it still looks half empty, which is the single most common surprise on a first rental.
- Rental length. The quote covers 10 days. Longer rentals are extended for an additional fee.
- Delivery distance. How far the truck runs from the yard to your address, and whether it can make a straight approach.
- Local disposal rates. Landfill and transfer-station fees are set locally and are the largest single input to the price.
What Is Included in the Base Rental?
- Delivery to your Alexandria address on the date you book
- A 10-day rental period
- Pickup and haul-away when you call
- Disposal up to the size's included tonnage
- One account manager handling the order from quote through pickup
Charged separately: weight over the included allowance, days past the rental period, and any load containing prohibited material.
How to Get an Exact Quote
Have these ready and the quote takes a couple of minutes:
- What the debris is — remodel, roof tear-off, cleanout, yard waste, concrete
- Roughly how much of it there is
- The delivery address and where the container should sit
- The date you want it dropped
Call (888) 915-4150 and describe the job. If two sizes both look plausible, say so — the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
What You Can Put in a Dumpster in Alexandria
Most of what comes out of a house or a job site is fine. The restricted list is set by the disposal facility, not by us, and it is short.
Accepted
- Household junk, furniture, and general trash
- Renovation debris — drywall, lumber, trim, cabinets
- Flooring, carpet, tile, and countertops
- Roofing shingles and underlayment
- Yard waste, brush, and branches
- Appliances with the refrigerant already removed
- Concrete, brick, dirt, and asphalt — mention these when you book, because they are priced by weight
Not accepted
- Paint, solvents, and other liquids
- Motor oil, fuel, and antifreeze
- Batteries and propane tanks
- Tires
- Asbestos and other hazardous material
- Medical or biological waste
- Appliances still holding refrigerant
Everything has to sit level with or below the top rail — an overfilled container cannot be tarped, so the driver has to leave it until the load comes down. If you are not sure about an item, ask before it goes over the side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alexandria dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Alexandria dumpster costs range from $861 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1390 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and a 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery is quoted separately and moves with distance, size, and access. The full breakdown by size, including the delivery estimate and the included tonnage, is in the pricing section above.
Yes, a permit is required if the dumpster sits on town roads or public right-of-way. Private property does not require a permit. Check with the Alexandria Selectmen's Office about your specific location.
It depends where the trucks already are that week. Containers run routes, so a drop gets grouped with other stops heading the same direction, and how quickly one reaches Alexandria moves with how full the schedule already is.
Call with the dates you have in mind and ask for the current window. Ordering a day or two before you actually want to start loading is the habit that saves people a scramble.
Street placement depends on the town's parking and obstruction rules. Public roads in Alexandria generally don't allow extended obstructions. Contact the Selectmen's Office first to confirm your street's regulations and whether a permit is available for your specific address.
Work from what is coming out, not from the size of the house. A single bathroom or one room of flooring fills a 10. A kitchen with cabinets and counters wants the 20. Gut work across several rooms, or a barn with decades of storage in it, is 30 yard territory.
Roofing is its own case. Shingles are heavy for the space they take, so the tonnage allowance runs out long before the walls do. If concrete, brick or dirt is going in, say so when you call, because that changes the answer completely.
When two sizes both look plausible, the gap between them is usually smaller than the cost of a second haul.
Give the driver a level spot, pavement or packed gravel, with a straight approach behind it and nothing overhead. The bed tilts higher than the container stands, so a low branch or a service line can stop the whole drop.
Move cars the night before, unlock any gate on the route in, and mark the spot if you will be out. Plywood under the rails protects a soft or newly sealed driveway. A drop the truck cannot make becomes a trip charge and a new delivery date, which is the outcome all of this avoids.
Contact the Alexandria Selectmen's Office directly. They'll ask for your project address and timeline. Have your street address and the dates you'll need the dumpster ready. Permit turnaround is typically a few business days.
