Dumpster Rental in
Wanaque, NJ
ZTERS rents roll-off dumpsters throughout Wanaque, from I 287 out to the Newark line. Four sizes, 10 to 40 yards; a 10 yard costs $835-$990 and stays on site 10 days.
Mon–Fri 8am–8pm ET
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
No quote-chasing: the numbers for New Jersey 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.
Your Wanaque property might be newer, but much of the borough was built around its lakes — bungalows around Rainbow Lake and Fountain Spring Lake, hillside houses, and older Wanaque-Midvale homes with additions layered on. That mix shows in the debris: plaster, tile, and concrete from a bath or basement redo weigh more than the pile looks, so a heavy tear-out usually fits a 10 or 20, while furniture, drywall, and cabinets from a full cleanout call for a 30.
Haskell is the commercial, southern end of Wanaque, where Paterson-Hamburg Turnpike runs through the borough and the ground is mostly level. The drop that needs thinking about is the hillside house up off Ramapo Valley Road: long gravel drives, tight turnaround, and a slope that makes you pick the spot carefully, because a loaded container has to sit level and on firm ground. Before delivery day, walk where you want it and check for a straight approach of about 60 feet plus a level, hard spot for the rails. Then look up: the truck tilts its bed high, so a low limb or wire over the drive matters even when it clears a pickup.
Dumpster Sizes in Wanaque
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Wanaque, 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 $835 to $990 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.
A 20 yard holds a kitchen down to the studs and the bathroom that went with it, at $925 to $1154. If the debris is mostly shingles or tile, weight decides before space does — say so when you order.
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.
A 40 yard is for jobs that would otherwise take two containers: a full gut-and-remodel, storm cleanup across a property, a commercial refit. $1085 to $1315, the tallest container we place — same footprint as the 20 and 30, with eight-foot walls.
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 adds height without adding length, so it still fits a normal drive. Good for a garage cleanout plus whatever came off the walls with it.
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 is the clearout size: attic, basement and garage in one container, $975 to $1170. Tall sides add capacity, not weight allowance, so concrete and dirt still price by weight.
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 Wanaque, NJ
For homeowners
Most household jobs are cleanouts and remodels: furniture, boxes, carpet, cabinets, the layers a house builds up over years. That debris is bulky rather than heavy, so a 10 or 20 yard on a Wanaque driveway usually covers it, with room left to park beside it.
For contractors
Jobsite debris runs heavier. Shingles, plaster, tile and the mortar bed under it reach the weight allowance while the container still looks half full. Crews on longer builds often run a smaller size and swap it more than once rather than push one load past its allowance, and they stage it where the truck can make a straight approach.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Wanaque
- 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 Wanaque, NJ?
Dumpster rental pricing in Wanaque 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 Wanaque
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $835 – $990 | — | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $925 – $1154 | — | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $975 – $1170 | — | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1085 – $1315 | — | 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 Wanaque 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) 915-4198 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 Wanaque
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
Wanaque dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Wanaque dumpster costs range from $835 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1315 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.
Most Wanaque lots sit up off the street — hillside drives, lake roads, narrow frontage — and that usually means the container can stay on private property, where no permit is required. Only a placement on the street or right-of-way calls for one, and it comes from the Borough of Wanaque's construction department.
If your remodel, cleanout, or roof tear-off is anywhere in Wanaque, ZTERS covers it — Haskell, Wanaque-Midvale, and the lake neighborhoods around Rainbow Lake, Fountain Spring Lake, and Addice Park. A driver in Haskell meets busier commercial streets and tighter parking; in Wanaque-Midvale, expect hillside houses and older driveways; around the lakes, expect narrow drives and trees that need a careful look before the drop.
No permit application is needed in most cases — the container sits on your driveway and stays off public ground. If your placement requires one, you apply through the Borough of Wanaque's construction or building department; the office will tell you what forms and fees apply for a street or right-of-way placement. Have your address, the placement spot, and your dates ready when you call.
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.
Three things before the truck arrives. Surface: a level spot on pavement or packed gravel, long enough for the container plus a straight run in behind it. Clearance: nothing overhead, because the bed tilts higher than the container stands and a low limb or service line stops the drop cold. Access: move vehicles off the drive the night before and unlock any gate the driver would need.
Plywood under the rails keeps a soft or freshly sealed driveway from marking. Mark the spot if you will not be home. A blocked drop usually turns into a trip charge and a rescheduled delivery, which is the one avoidable cost in the whole rental.
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 Wanaque 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.
