Before you dial
A container you fill yourself, not a trash pickup
A roll-off dumpster is an open-top steel box that a truck slides off onto your driveway or the curb. You load it at your own pace, then the company hauls it away and empties it. Homeowners in Roanoke rent them for garage purges, kitchen gut jobs, old shingles, storm limbs and the last week before a move.
This number won't reach the city. If your cart was missed or you want a couch taken from the curb, call City of Roanoke Solid Waste at 540-853-2000, option 1. The city picks up brush and up to three bulky items a week on your trash day; the rules are on its bulk and brush page.
Hosting a crowd outdoors or losing your only bathroom to a remodel? There is one page on porta potty rental in Roanoke as well.

Placement
Older streets, steep driveways and the curb
Plenty of Roanoke houses sit on hillside lots with short or sloped driveways. Before you call, pace out the spot you have in mind and look up for wires and branches. A 20-yard roll-off is usually around 22 feet long, and the truck needs more room than that to set it down.
If the only room is in the street, the container needs a City of Roanoke right-of-way permit, which the dumpster company applies for. One permit covers up to 30 days in a row. The permit guide explains how it works here and in the neighboring localities.

Quick answers
Common questions from Roanoke callers
Who actually brings the dumpster?
An independent local rental company. Dumpster Roanoke only connects the call; the company owns the containers and trucks and quotes the job.
When can I call?
Mon–Sat 8 a.m.–8 p.m. · Sun 8 a.m.–1 p.m. ET. Calls outside those hours may not reach anyone.
Do I need to be home when it's dropped off?
Usually not, as long as the spot is marked and clear. Ask the company how it handles drop-offs when nobody is home.
Can it go on my lawn?
Many companies avoid soft ground because the truck and the loaded box can sink and rut it. Ask before you plan on the yard.
