The 20-yard container sits between the 15-yard ($650) and the 30-yard ($795) in the size lineup. A single-bathroom gut job or a garage cleanout in Park Circle typically fills a 15-yard bin. A full kitchen-plus-two-bathrooms remodel, a whole-house junk removal before a listing, or a roof tear-off on a 1,500-square-foot ranch off Ashley Phosphate Road typically fills a 20-yard. If the project runs longer than expected and the bin fills early, a swap-out can be arranged, that is a better outcome than renting a 30-yard at $795 and returning it half-empty. The decision rule: estimate your debris in pickup-truck loads; 5, 7 loads fits a 15-yard, 8, 10 loads fits a 20-yard, anything over 10 loads points to the 30-yard.
North Charleston's mix of post-war ranch homes in Waylyn and Dorchester Terrace, infill construction near the former Navy Yard, and older bungalows in Liberty Hill and Accabee means most debris loads are a combination of wood framing, drywall, roofing material, and legacy household items, exactly what a 20-yard handles without overflow. Driveways on the Remount Road Corridor and in Pepperhill are often narrower than those in newer subdivisions; the 20-yard's footprint (roughly 22 feet long) fits a standard two-car driveway with room to walk around the container. If the only placement option is a public street, a City of North Charleston right-of-way permit may be required, confirm with Charleston County or the city's Public Works office before scheduling, since permit timelines vary.
The $695 price is flat and all-in for standard residential debris loads within North Charleston. There is no separate dump fee added at the end, no fuel surcharge, and no per-ton overage charge layered onto the base rate, the quoted number is the final number. That structure matters because the alternative, a base rate with a per-ton overage, can push a seemingly cheaper quote $100, $200 higher once the bin is weighed at the landfill. Roofing shingles are dense; a full square of architectural shingles weighs roughly 350 pounds, and a typical ranch roof tear-off in Elms of Charleston or Wando Woods generates 2, 3 tons of material. Under a per-ton billing model, that weight alone can add $150, $300 to a low sticker price. The flat $695 removes that variable entirely.
Scheduling works in three steps. 1. Call (854) 248-1834 with the drop address, the preferred delivery date, and where on the property the bin should land. 2. Confirm the flat $695 rate and any placement constraints (low-hanging utility lines, soft ground, tight gates). 3. The driver drops the container in the agreed spot; when the project is done, call back to schedule pickup, the bin is hauled away and disposed of, with no further charges. Rental periods are typically 7 days for residential jobs; extensions are available if the project runs long.
