About Big Dumps
What is Big Dumps Disposal?
Big Dumps Disposal is a locally-owned, affordable dumpster rental company serving Winter Haven, Lakeland, Lake Wales, Auburndale, Mulberry, and the rest of Polk County, Florida. We drop off a roll-off dumpster at your home or job site, you fill it on your own schedule, and we haul it away when you’re done. Big Dumps Disposal is a DBA of PG Ventures.
How Is Big Dumps Different from a Junk Removal Company?
With a junk removal service, a crew shows up, loads everything for you, and charges a premium for the labor. With Big Dumps, you get an affordable dumpster rental that gives you the flexibility to load on your own schedule, without the higher cost of full-service junk removal. If you’ve got the time and want to save money, a roll-off dumpster is almost always the cheaper option.
Are You the Same as The City Trash Pickup or Waste Management
No, Big Dumps Disposal is a private dumpster rental company, not a municipal trash service. We’re not affiliated with Waste Management, your city’s curbside pickup, or any HOA contract. If your weekly trash didn’t get picked up, you’ll need to contact your local hauler. If you’ve got a one-time cleanup, renovation, or project that needs more space than your normal bin, that’s exactly what we’re here for.

Sizes & What You Need
What Size Dumpster Do I Need?
It depends on the project. As a quick guide: |
A 15 Yard is great for a small garage cleanout, a single-room remodel, or a roof on a smaller home.
A 20 Yard handles most mid-sized cleanouts, deck tear-offs, and medium remodels.
A 30 Yard is the right call for full-house cleanouts, larger renovations, or new home construction debris. If you’re not sure, tell us what you’re tackling and we’ll point you to the right size, you’ll never get talked into a bigger dumpster than you actually need.
What Size Roll Off Dumpster Service Is Best for Home Cleanups?
For most small home projects, garage clean-outs, a single-room remodel, a basement purge, a 15 Yard roll-off dumpster is the right choice. It holds roughly the volume of three to four standard pickup-truck loads, fits on a typical driveway, and is the most affordable option in our lineup.
What Sizes Do You Offer?
We offer 15-yard, 20-yard, and 30-yard roll-off dumpsters. Each size handles a different scale of project, from a single-room cleanout up to full-home renovation debris. Our pricing and dimensions are HERE.
Can I Rent a Dumpster for A Roof Replacement?
Are Roll-Off Dumpsters Good for New Home Construction or Remodels
Yes. A roll-off dumpster is the simplest way to manage ongoing construction debris from framing through finishing, drywall, lumber scraps, packaging, flooring offcuts, the works. We can also swap a full dumpster for an empty one as the project moves through phases.

Pricing, Rental Period & Permits

How Long Is the Rental Period?
A standard rental is 7-10 days from the day we drop off. If you need it longer, just let us know, we offer extension days at a flat per-day rate. No surprises.
What if I Need to Keep the Dumpster Longer?
Do I Need a Permit for A Dumpster Rental?
If we’re placing the dumpster on your private driveway or property, no permit is needed. If the only spot is on a public street or right-of-way, your city or county may require a permit, the rules vary between Winter Haven, Lakeland, Lake Wales, and unincorporated Polk County. We’ll let you know what to check before delivery, and in most cases the homeowner pulls the permit since they’re the property owner.
Is There a Weight Limit?
The 15-yard and 20-yard include 2 tons, 30 yd includes 3 tons. There are no determined limits or weight allowance. Heavy loads like concrete, dirt, or roofing tile fill up weight fast, if that’s your project, mention it when you book and we’ll size it right.
How Does Billing Work?
We charge a flat rate up front that covers delivery, pickup, your rental period, and your included weight. Extension days and weight overages (if any) are billed when we pick up. We accept all major cards and online payment.
