Hankins Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal was founded in 2002 by the Hankins family right here in Little Elm. What started as a single truck and a commitment to helping neighbors manage their waste has grown into one of the most trusted names in Denton County for roll-off dumpster rentals.
We chose Little Elm because it’s home. We’ve watched this community grow and thrive, and we’ve been honored to grow right alongside it; helping families declutter their homes, supporting local contractors as they build new neighborhoods, and assisting property managers with everything from storm cleanup to routine maintenance.
Over the years, we’ve built strong relationships with local waste management facilities and recycling centers throughout Denton County.

Choosing the right dumpster size makes all the difference. Too small, and you’ll need a second container. Too large, and you’re paying for space you don’t need. That’s why we offer a complete range of roll-off container sizes and help you select the perfect fit for your project.
10-yard dumpsters: Perfect for small cleanouts, minor renovations, and garage organization projects. This compact size fits easily in most driveways and holds about 3-4 pickup truck loads of debris.
10-yard lowboy dumpsters: Our low-profile option makes loading heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles much easier. Ideal when you’re shoveling or wheelbarrowing debris.
15-yard dumpsters: Great for medium cleanouts, deck removal, and flooring projects. This is a popular choice for bathroom remodels and basement clear-outs.
20-yard dumpsters: Our most popular size for home renovations and estate cleanouts. It strikes the perfect balance between capacity and footprint, holding about 8 pickup truck loads.

| Common Question or Concern | What You Need to Know |
|---|---|
|
How do I select the correct dumpster size?
|
Think about the scope of your project and the type of materials you're disposing of. For small cleanouts, a 10 or 12-yard works great. Home renovations usually need a 15 or 20-yard. Large construction or demolition projects require 30 or 40-yard dumpsters. Not sure? Just call us; we'll help you choose the most cost-effective size based on your specific needs. With our Flexible Scheduling, you can always upgrade or add another dumpster if needed. |
|
What happens if I overload the dumpster?
|
Every dumpster has a fill line (usually marked on the inside). Debris should never exceed this line, as overloaded containers can't be safely transported. If you exceed the included tonnage, additional fees apply; but we'll always communicate this clearly. Our Transparent Pricing means no surprise charges. If you're approaching the weight limit, just give us a call and we'll discuss options like upgrading to a larger size or scheduling an early pickup.
Pro Tip: Heavy materials like concrete, dirt, and brick add up quickly. Consider a lowboy or ask about weight-only pricing for these materials.
|
|
What items are prohibited or not allowed?
|
We accept most household junk, construction debris, furniture, appliances, yard waste, wood, drywall, metal, and more. However, hazardous materials are never allowed. This includes: paint, chemicals, solvents, pesticides, oils, batteries, asbestos, medical waste, tires, propane tanks, and electronics containing mercury.
Important: Disposing of prohibited items can result in fines and safety hazards. Always ask if you're unsure; we're happy to guide you on proper disposal options for special materials.
Our Eco-Friendly Disposal Practices ensure that recyclable materials are diverted from landfills whenever possible, so we sort and process your debris responsibly.
|
|
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster?
|
If the dumpster goes on your private property (driveway, yard, etc.), you typically don't need a permit. However, if it must be placed on a public street or right-of-way, you'll likely need a permit from the City of Little Elm. Permit requirements vary by location, and we're here to help guide you through the process. Contact your local city hall or let us know; we've helped countless customers navigate this smoothly. |
|
Where should I place the dumpster on my property?
|
Choose a flat, stable surface like a driveway, parking area, or yard. Make sure there's enough clearance for delivery (at least 60 feet of straight access and 23 feet of vertical clearance for tree branches and power lines). Avoid placing dumpsters on grass if possible, as they're heavy and can damage lawns. We can provide plywood boards to protect your driveway from scratches or marks. Always keep the area around the dumpster clear for safe loading and eventual pickup.
Pro Tip: Place the dumpster close to your work area to minimize carrying debris long distances, but ensure it doesn't block driveways, sidewalks, or emergency access routes.
|
|
How long can I keep the dumpster?
|
Our standard rental period is 7 days, which works perfectly for most projects. Need more time? We offer flexible rental extensions at fair daily or weekly rates. Just let us know and we'll adjust your rental period; no hassle, no penalties for reasonable extensions. We understand that projects don't always go according to plan. Whether you need a 3-day rental for a quick cleanout or a monthly rental for ongoing construction, our Flexible Scheduling adapts to your timeline. |
|
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster?
|
We offer same-day delivery when you order before noon (subject to availability) and next-day delivery for most orders placed later in the day. Our Fast and Reliable Delivery covers all of Little Elm and Denton County. Need a dumpster for an urgent project, storm cleanup, or last-minute deadline? Just call us and we'll do everything possible to get you set up quickly. As a locally owned company, we pride ourselves on responsive service. |
|
How do I schedule pickup when I'm done?
|
Simply call us or submit a pickup request online when your dumpster is full or your project is complete. We'll schedule a convenient pickup time; usually within 24 hours. Make sure the area around the dumpster is clear so our driver can safely access it. You don't need to level the debris or clean out the container; just let us know you're ready and we'll handle the rest professionally and efficiently. |
|
Will the dumpster damage my driveway or property?
|
Our dumpsters are heavy, especially when loaded, so some minor surface marking is possible. To protect your driveway, we recommend placing plywood boards under the dumpster; we're happy to provide these upon request. Avoid placing dumpsters on soft ground, newly paved asphalt, or decorative surfaces whenever possible. Our experienced drivers are trained to place containers carefully to minimize any impact. If you have concerns about a specific surface, just let us know and we'll work with you on the best placement strategy. |
|
What are your pricing and payment terms?
|
We believe in Transparent Pricing with no hidden fees. Our quoted price includes delivery, the rental period (typically 7 days), pickup, disposal, and the stated tonnage allowance. If you exceed the weight limit or rental period, additional charges apply; but we'll always communicate costs clearly upfront. We accept multiple payment methods for your convenience. Request a free quote anytime and we'll provide an honest, straightforward estimate with no pressure or obligation. |
