Dumpster rental in Gaithersburg and the rest of Montgomery County runs $449 to $649 with us, for a 10 to 30 yard roll-off with 1 to 3 tons, 12 days, and free delivery included.

Items we cannot take in a roll-off
Some of those can go to Montgomery County special drop-offs, not in the dumpster.
On your own driveway or other private property in unincorporated Montgomery County, you do not need a county dumpster permit. If the dumpster will sit on a public street or in the county right-of-way, you need a Montgomery County DPS Special Use and Roadway Occupancy dumpster permit. The published fee is $267.40 for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Confirm the current fee with DPS before you apply. Typical issuance takes about 1 to 2 weeks, and a site plan plus warning devices are required. For City of Gaithersburg, City of Rockville, or state roads, get that jurisdiction’s permit, not the county’s. In Rockville, dumpsters may go in the city right-of-way only if Public Works agrees private placement is unsafe, and a Public Works permit is required. HOA and condo rules may still apply. Not sure about placement? Call (301) 929-1111 and we’ll help with placement and permit questions.
Why local renters call us: prices posted online, 12 days standard, same-day delivery when available, and drivers who fit a container into a tight driveway without touching the mailbox. You usually don't need to be home for drop-off or pickup.
How to pick a size. Think weight, not just volume. Shingles, tile, concrete, and wet yard waste get heavy fast, so a smaller container can beat a bigger one that runs overweight. Furniture, carpet, and cleanout junk need volume more than weight. Stuck between two? The 20 yard is our most popular for multi-room renovations.
• Published price per size. A real number before you call, or quote-only?
• Included weight and overweight cost. What's included and what each extra ton costs.
• Rental days. A weekend rental and a 12-day rental are very different deals.
• Delivery fees and fuel surcharges. Some quotes look low until those get added.
• Speed and driveway fit. Same-day matters when a contractor is waiting, and careful drivers protect pavement and landscaping.
• Reviews. Real customer reviews tell you more than any ad.
Dumpster or junk removal? Doing the work yourself over a week or two? A dumpster is usually the better value. Want a pile gone today without lifting anything? Junk removal makes more sense. We offer both.

A few recent Google reviews:
"Needed a last minute dumpster delivered and it was done so in an hour and picked up just as fast" (Alejandro B., Aug 2026)
"Buddy was one of the best drivers I've ever had here. He should teach "Newer" adult drivers how to back up. I have a tight driveway. Dude swung er in, missed everything by feet not inches. Didn't need a ground guide or anything. Will definitely use Action in the future." (Flexhaug P., Jul 2026)
"We've had a great experience working with Action dumpsters. They're consistently reliable, respond quickly when we need swaps or scheduling changes, and they follow site instructions accurately (placement, access, timing, and special requests). Solid service and great communication." (Juan M., Jan 2026)

Common questions Gaithersburg renters ask before they book.
Our published prices run from $449 for a 10 yard to $649 for a 30 yard. Each includes free delivery, 12 days, and 1 to 3 tons depending on size. Extra weight is $125 per ton.
A 10 or 15 yard covers a bathroom, small remodel, or yard cleanup. A 20 yard handles most home cleanouts and multi-room renovations. Go 25 or 30 yard for demolition, big decks, or construction cleanup.
Weight included ranges from 1 ton (10 yard) to 3 tons (30 yard). Anything over is $125 per extra ton. Heavy materials like shingles, tile, and concrete fill tonnage faster than volume.
