Residential Dumpster Rental in Shreveport, LA

Knight & Sons Dumpster Rental Shreveport helps homeowners across the Ark-La-Tex handle garage purges, attic cleanouts, and backyard overhauls without dealing with a broker. We're headquartered on W Kirby Plz in the Highland/Stoner Hill neighborhood just south of downtown, and every container that shows up at your house comes off one of our own trucks — driven by our own crew.

Pricing is flat-rate: delivery, the rental period, a tonnage allowance, and pickup are all built into the number we quote you, and nothing gets tacked on later for fuel or an "environmental fee." Our 10 yard dumpster is priced at $350–$550 depending on your project, and every other size is quoted on the call once we know what you're clearing out and where the container needs to sit.

We deliver residential dumpsters throughout Shreveport, Bossier City, Blanchard, Greenwood, Keithville, Haughton, Benton, Minden, and the rest of Caddo, Bossier, and Webster parishes. Most homeowners keep their container for 3–7 days, plenty of time to work through a room-by-room cleanout or a weekend remodel push.

What Homeowners Use a Residential Dumpster For

Most residential rentals in Shreveport start with a project that's outgrown the household trash can: a garage that hasn't been sorted in a decade, a basement or attic purge before a move, a kitchen or bath remodel tear-out, or a yard that needs brush, fencing, and old decking hauled off. A roll-off container lets you fill it at your own pace over a weekend instead of making a dozen trips to the transfer station.

We also see a lot of estate cleanouts and downsizing jobs, where a family is clearing a house room by room. For those, a 15 or 20 yard container usually beats renting a 10 yard twice — it's one delivery, one pickup, and one flat price instead of coordinating a second swap.

Sizing & Cost for a Home Project

The 10 yard dumpster is our most popular residential size and the only one with a published range — $350–$550 depending on what you're loading and how long you need it. It holds roughly three pickup-truck loads and 1–2 tons, which covers a garage cleanout or a stack of roofing shingles without much left over.

Bigger jobs — a full remodel, a whole-house cleanout, or a yard overhaul with heavy debris — usually call for a 15 or 20 yard container instead. Since every job is different, we quote those sizes over the phone once we know what's coming out of the house; check the full size guide for dimensions before you call if you want a head start.

What Can & Can't Go In a Residential Dumpster

Household junk, furniture, appliances (once refrigerants are evacuated), carpet, drywall, lumber, roofing debris, and general yard waste are all fine. If you're not sure whether something belongs, our full breakdown at what can go in a dumpster covers it in more detail.

We can't take paint, fuel or motor oil, chemicals and solvents, asbestos, batteries, tires, or hazardous and medical waste, and appliances that still hold refrigerant need to be evacuated first. Louisiana disposal rules treat those materials differently than regular debris, so keep them out of the container and we'll help you figure out where they need to go instead.

Driveway Placement & HOA Requirements

Most residential containers sit right on the driveway, which keeps them off the grass and off the street. We just need about 60 ft of clear approach for the truck to back in and roughly 25 ft of overhead clearance — watch for low tree limbs or power lines near the pad you have in mind.

If your neighborhood has an HOA that wants proof of coverage before a container shows up, just ask — we're licensed and insured and can provide a certificate of insurance. And if there's no room on your property and the dumpster has to sit in the street or right-of-way, you'll need a permit from the City of Shreveport's Engineering Permits department (or the parish office if you're outside city limits); we can tell you what we need on our end, but confirm current fees and process directly with the city.
