Dumpster delivery in Olean is one phone call away: (833) 748-4153. We bring 10 to 40 yard roll off dumpsters to homes and job sites across the city. Olean is the largest city in Cattaraugus County and the commercial center of the Enchanted Mountains region, sitting on the Allegheny River in New York's Southern Tier. It is a small city with a walkable downtown, a hospital and university presence nearby at St. Bonaventure, and neighborhoods of older homes that have stood for generations. The housing stock runs from pre war homes near downtown to post war ranches farther out, and all of it is at the age where kitchens, baths, and roofs come due.
The renovation work in Olean is steady and residential. Homeowners are remodeling kitchens and baths in older homes, tearing off worn roofs, and emptying basements and attics that have held decades of belongings. Estate cleanouts are common in a city with this much history, and a whole house cleanout can fill a 20 or 30 yard container fast once the attic and basement are emptied. The university and hospital nearby keep rental turnover moving, with cleanouts between tenants all year long.
Olean sits in the Allegheny River valley, and the hills around the city make for some steep driveways and winding streets. Tell us about your driveway when you book so we can plan the placement. Winter brings heavy snow to the Southern Tier, so winter bookings take a little planning: keep the driveway clear for the truck and cover the container between loads. Spring is the busiest season, when yard cleanups and exterior projects pile on top of the indoor renovation work.
Olean jobs divide by terrain as much as by project. The homes near downtown sit on flatter lots where a bigger box fits easily, while the homes in the hills around the Allegheny River valley have steep driveways and winding streets that favor a smaller container. So the size choice starts with the driveway, then the debris. Heavy material such as concrete and shingles goes in a smaller box in any case. The table below shows all five sizes we deliver in Olean, with typical dimensions and the projects each one suits best.
| Size | Typical dimensions | Holds about | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 yard | 14 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 3.5 ft tall | About 3 pickup loads | Small cleanout, half bath remodel, garage junk, concrete and dirt |
| 15 yard | 16 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 4.5 ft tall | About 4 to 5 pickup loads | Basement finish, deck removal, downsizing cleanout |
| 20 yard | 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 4.5 ft tall | About 6 to 8 pickup loads | Whole room remodel, roofing tear off, full house cleanout |
| 30 yard | 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 6 ft tall | About 9 to 12 pickup loads | Whole home renovation, estate cleanout, large construction |
| 40 yard | 22 ft long, 7.5 ft wide, 8 ft tall | About 12 pickup loads | Full demolition, commercial cleanout, multi unit renovation |
The 20 yard is the standard for most Olean homes: a whole room remodel, a full house cleanout, or a roofing tear off on a typical pre war or post war home. On a steep driveway, a 10 or 15 yard is often the smarter pick, because it sits level and stable where a larger box will not. A whole home renovation or an estate cleanout steps up to the 30 yard, and the 40 yard is for full demolition and large commercial work. Landlord turnovers near St. Bonaventure University usually fit a 15 or 20 yard, depending on how much furniture is coming out.
The right dumpster depends on the work, not just the volume. These are the services we run in Olean, each with its own guide.
A dumpster on your own property generally needs no permit in Olean. Driveway, yard, or private lot, if the container sits entirely on private land, you can book delivery and be done. That covers most residential jobs in the city and the surrounding Southern Tier.
A dumpster on a public street or in the right of way is the case that usually needs a municipal permit, and the rules are set by the city. Downtown properties and hillside homes without a usable driveway are the ones that most often need street placement. Permit rules vary by municipality and we do not publish specifics we have not verified, so call us before you book a street placement and we will point you toward the right city office for guidance on your address.
Dig Safely New York: call 811 before any ground disturbance. It is state law, it is free, and it protects you from hitting a buried utility line.
Most Olean projects load the same mix: household junk, furniture, mattresses, carpet, drywall, wood, siding, roofing material, concrete, and yard waste. Storm debris and fallen limbs after heavy snow and high wind events go in too, and so does the brush and yard waste from a spring cleanup. Heavy material such as concrete, brick, and dirt belongs in a smaller container. What stays out is the banned list below, including material that may contain asbestos, which needs licensed abatement and must never go in a roll off container.
New York law keeps some materials out of landfills, and some items are simply unsafe to haul in an open container. Do not load any of these:

Olean sits in the Allegheny River valley, and the hills around the city make for some steep driveways and winding streets. Tell us about your driveway when you book so we can plan the placement: the driver looks for the flattest, firmest spot, and a smaller box may be the right call on a steep grade. The truck needs about 60 feet of clear space to drop the container and roughly 23 to 25 feet of vertical clearance, so low wires and tight turns are worth mentioning too.
Winter brings heavy snow to the Southern Tier, so keep the driveway clear for the truck and cover the container between loads. The standard rental period is 7 days, and longer rentals are available. When the container is full or the job is done, call us and we will pick it up, and if the project needs a second container we can arrange a swap.
Call (833) 748-4153 and describe your project. We help you choose the right dumpster size and set a delivery day that works for you.
The driver places the dumpster where you want it, driveway, yard, or job site. You need about 60 feet of clear space and enough overhead clearance for the truck.
Load it at your own pace during your rental period. When it is full or you are finished, call us and we pick it up and handle disposal.
Every rental includes delivery, pickup, and disposal handling, with a standard 7 day rental period. Longer rentals are available.
Often yes. The driver looks for the flattest, firmest spot on the property, and a smaller 10 or 15 yard box fits grades that a large container cannot. If the slope is too steep for a safe drop, a street side placement may work instead. Call (833) 748-4153 and describe your driveway and we will plan the placement with you.
A dumpster placed entirely on your driveway or private property generally needs no permit. A dumpster placed on a public street usually needs a municipal permit, and the rules vary by municipality. Call us before you book a street placement and we will point you toward the right city office.
A 20 yard dumpster covers most full house cleanouts and whole room remodels. A garage cleanout, a deck removal, or a single room project usually fits a 10 or 15 yard. On a steep driveway, the smaller box is often the smarter pick because it sits level and stable.
The standard rental period is 7 days, and longer rentals are available. Call (833) 748-4153 to arrange the schedule that fits your project, and call us when you are done and we will pick it up.
Yes. Landlords turning over rentals near St. Bonaventure University book dumpsters for furniture, mattresses, carpet, and leftover belongings between tenants. A 15 or 20 yard usually covers a turnover. Call (833) 748-4153 to set a delivery day around the move out.
Yes. Shingles are heavy, so the container size should match the roof. A 20 yard suits most residential tear offs. Tell us the roof size and the number of layers when you book and we will size the box to the weight.
