FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to tow the trailer?+
A vehicle with enough towing capacity, a compatible hitch, and a valid driver's license. If you'd rather not tow it yourself, we offer delivery and pick-up within the service area.
How does the security deposit work?+
It's charged together with the rental when you book and is fully refundable. We return it within 3 business days after inspecting the trailer, as long as there's no damage or excess weight.
What happens if I return the trailer late?+
A $50.00/day fee applies for late returns. If you need more time, contact us before the return date to extend the rental.
How does delivery work?+
We cover 50 miles around Des Moines, IA. For hourly and daily rentals, choose "Delivery, pickup & dump" at booking: we drop the trailer off, you fill it, and we come back to pick it up and dump it for you — a flat $400.00 that replaces the rental price. Weekly and monthly rentals are self pick-up only.
How do I pay?+
Payment is made entirely online by card through Stripe when you book. It's secure and your reservation is confirmed instantly.
Do you serve West Des Moines, Ankeny, Waukee, or other nearby cities?+
Yes — we cover Des Moines and everywhere within 50 miles, including West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Waukee, Clive, Johnston, Altoona, Norwalk, Grimes, and Indianola. Not sure if you're in range? Call us and we'll confirm.
What's the difference between a dump trailer rental and a dumpster rental?+
A dumpster stays parked at your property until a truck picks it up on the company's schedule. A dump trailer is towed, so you control it directly — fill it at your own pace, and if you don't need delivery, you can take it straight to the dump yourself instead of waiting on a pickup. It's a flexible alternative for junk removal, debris removal, and waste removal projects in Des Moines.
What can I put in the dump trailer?+
Household junk, furniture, construction and remodeling debris, roofing shingles, yard waste, and general waste removal jobs — as long as it's within the trailer's weight limit. Hazardous, flammable, or materials prohibited by law aren't allowed.
How much does it cost to rent a dump trailer in Des Moines?+
Rates start at $100.00 for up to 6 hours and $150.00 for a full day, with weekly and monthly options available. The price you see is what you pay, plus a fully refundable $150.00 deposit — no hidden fees.
Do I need a permit to rent a dump trailer?+
In most cases, no — if you're keeping the trailer on your own property. If you need to park it on a public street, check with your city about permit requirements. Call us and we're happy to help you figure out what applies to your project.
