Dumpster Rental in
Abbeville, LA
Four container sizes cover most jobs in Abbeville: 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards. The 10 yard runs $715-$825 for 10 days; the bigger sizes take full remodels and tear-offs.
Mon–Fri 7am–7pm CT
Fair. Simple. Reliable.
ZTERS keeps the rental simple. You see the price before you call, you talk to one person instead of a queue, and the container lands on the day you booked. The same goes for homeowners, storefronts and crews.
Roof tear-offs and plaster-and-lath demolition are the jobs that decide the container here. Many of the older homes in the Abbeville Residential Historic District still have heavy plaster-and-lath walls, so a remodel that looks modest can fill a 20-yard with dense wall debris. Up and down the Abbeville Commercial Historic District, storefront renovations throw out drywall, carpet, and shelving that runs lighter but takes volume. For those, a 30-yard often saves a second haul. Mixed household cleanouts in between usually fit a 10 or 15.
The land around Abbeville is flat and the streets downtown run in a practical grid, but the delivery is decided by what is beside the street. In the historic districts, mature oaks and low service lines hang over many of the driveways, and the truck tilts its bed high to set a container down, so a spot that looks clear from the ground can be too low halfway back. On the wider commercial streets like Veterans Memorial Drive, the same drop is usually straightforward. The one thing worth doing is standing where the container will go and looking up before delivery day, plus making sure the truck has a straight run in — a few older blocks have parking on both sides.
Dumpster Sizes in Abbeville
ZTERS rents five dumpster sizes in Abbeville, from single-room cleanouts to demolition-scale jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- Flat pricing, quoted up front
A 10 yard holds about three pickup-truck loads. That covers a closet-by-closet cleanout, a deck teardown, or the tile and mortar from one bathroom. $715 to $825.
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.
Most kitchen-plus-bath remodels land in the 20 yard, $805 to $925. It takes the cabinets, counters, subfloor and trim in one go, with the footprint of a delivery truck.
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.
Nothing bigger goes on a truck. The 40 yard runs $1005 to $1145 and suits light, high-volume debris; loaded with anything dense it hits the road-weight limit half full.
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.
Estate clearances and gut renovations across several rooms fill a 30 yard, priced $855 to $940. The walls are tall, so big pieces go over the rail instead of through a door.
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 Abbeville, LA
For homeowners
House projects throw out more shapes than pounds — mattresses, shelving, bagged clothes, torn-out cabinets. A 10 or 20 yard takes most of them. The exception is tile or plaster work, which runs heavy for its size; mention it when you order and the right container follows.
For contractors
On a build or a gut job in Abbeville, the debris changes by phase — framing scrap is bulky, demolition is dense, tear-offs are heavier than they look. Matching the container to the phase beats parking one big container for the whole job, and swaps keep the site clear without a second setup.
The Dumpster Rental Process in Abbeville
- 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 Abbeville, LA?
Dumpster rental pricing in Abbeville 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 Abbeville
| Dumpster Size | Estimated Price Range | Delivery Estimate* | Rental Period | Included Tonnage** |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $715 – $825 | $545 | Up to 10 days | 1–2 tons |
| 20 Yard | $805 – $925 | $570 | Up to 10 days | 2–4 tons |
| 30 Yard | $855 – $940 | $550 | Up to 10 days | 4–6 tons |
| 40 Yard | $1005 – $1145 | $735 | 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 Abbeville 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) 880-5024 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 Abbeville
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
Abbeville dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill fees, fuel prices, and any required permits. Abbeville dumpster costs range from $715 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $1145 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.
A 20-yard dumpster is usually fine on private property, but the moment it sits in the street or public right-of-way, the City of Abbeville requires a permit. That applies to every size ZTERS delivers.
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 Abbeville 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.
From the orderly sidewalks of the Abbeville Commercial Historic District to the tree-lined blocks of the Abbeville Residential Historic District, ZTERS covers the whole city — Magdalen Square, Parker Hebert Park, and Mouton Park included. Downtown deliveries are usually a short pull from the curb, while the residential side is where old trees and parked cars make the drop slower. Coverage also reaches out to nearby Erath and Kaplan, so a job on the edge of town is still a local delivery.
Almost everything from a renovation or cleanout is accepted. The exceptions come from the disposal facility, not from us: paint and liquids, motor oil, fuel, antifreeze, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, medical waste, and appliances with refrigerant still in them.
Heavy masonry, concrete and dirt are allowed but priced by weight, which is worth mentioning at booking instead of discovering at the scale. Unsure about something? Ask before it goes in.
A 30-yard container that has to sit in the street means a public right-of-way permit, and you apply for that with the City of Abbeville. The permitting office can tell you over the phone whether your address qualifies and what information to have ready.
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.
