When you need a dumpster in New Orleans, you need more than just a container; you need a partner who understands your project, respects your timeline, and delivers exactly what you need, when you need it. That’s what we’ve been doing at Pete’s Disposal since 2001.
We’re your local, family-owned roll-off dumpster rental company serving homeowners, contractors, and businesses throughout Orleans Parish and across Louisiana. Whether you’re tackling a weekend garage cleanout, managing a major construction site, or handling an emergency demolition project, we offer same-day delivery, transparent pricing, and dumpsters in every size from 10 to 40 yards.
Our commitment is simple: reliable waste management solutions without the runaround. No hidden fees. No delays. Just honest service from people who’ve been part of this community for more than two decades. If you’re looking to rent a dumpster today, we’re ready to help you get started.
Pete’s Disposal was founded in 2001 by Pete Melancon, a lifelong New Orleans resident who saw firsthand how frustrating it could be to find a dependable dumpster rental company. After years working in construction and property management across Orleans Parish, Pete noticed the same problems cropping up again and again: late deliveries, confusing pricing, and companies that didn’t show up when they said they would.
He knew the community deserved better. So, with one truck, three dumpsters, and a commitment to do things the right way, Pete’s Disposal was born.
Over the past 20+ years, we’ve grown from that single truck operation into one of the most trusted names in waste removal across Louisiana. We’ve weathered hurricanes, helped rebuild neighborhoods, supported countless construction projects, and assisted families through some of their toughest times; estate cleanouts, major renovations, and storm recovery.
What hasn’t changed? Our dedication to treating every customer like a neighbor. Because in New Orleans, that’s exactly what you are. We’re not some out-of-state corporation; we live here, work here, and take pride in keeping our city clean and our customers happy. Making waste removal simple and stress-free isn’t just our business; it’s how we serve the community we love.
No two projects are the same, which is why we offer comprehensive dumpster rental services designed to meet you exactly where you are ; whether you’re a homeowner cleaning out your attic or a contractor managing a multi-phase commercial build.
Home projects can be overwhelming, but getting rid of the debris doesn’t have to be. We specialize in residential dumpster rentals for all kinds of household needs:
Contractors, builders, and business owners depend on us to keep their job sites clean and their projects on schedule. Our commercial and construction dumpster rental services include:
Some projects require a little extra attention. That’s why we also offer:
Not sure what size dumpster you need? Don’t worry; we help customers figure this out every single day. The right size depends on the scope of your project, the type of materials you’re disposing of, and how much space you have for placement. When you call us, we’ll walk you through your options and recommend the best fit. Here’s a quick overview of what we offer:
10-Yard Dumpsters
Perfect for small cleanouts, minor home renovations, or garage decluttering projects. A 10-yard dumpster holds about three pickup truck loads of debris; ideal when you don’t need a massive container but want something more efficient than multiple trips to the dump.
10-Yard Lowboy Dumpsters
Our lowboy option offers the same 10-yard capacity but with a lower profile, making it easier to load heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles without the need for ramps or high lifting.
15-Yard Dumpsters
A step up in size, our 15-yard dumpsters are great for medium residential projects like kitchen remodels, basement cleanouts, or removing a small deck. This size handles roughly four to five pickup truck loads.
20-Yard Dumpsters
This is our most popular size; and for good reason. A 20-yard dumpster strikes the perfect balance between capacity and footprint. It’s ideal for whole-home cleanouts, medium construction projects, roofing jobs, and flooring removal. If you’re not sure what size to get, this is often the safest bet.
30-Yard Dumpsters
When your project is larger in scale; think full home renovations, new construction, or major demolition work; a 30-yard dumpster gives you the space you need without requiring multiple hauls. It holds about nine pickup truck loads.
40-Yard Dumpsters
Our largest option, the 40-yard dumpster, is designed for commercial construction sites, large-scale demolition projects, or significant estate cleanouts where volume is king. This is the container contractors turn to when they need serious capacity.
Still not sure? Give us a call. We’ll talk through your project and make sure you get the right size the first time; saving you money and hassle.
You’ve got options when it comes to renting a dumpster. So why do so many people across Orleans Parish choose us? Here’s what sets Pete’s Disposal apart:
When you need a dumpster, you usually need it now; not next week. That’s why we offer same-day dumpster delivery for customers with urgent projects. Whether it’s an unexpected demolition job, a last-minute cleanout before a home sale, or storm debris that can’t wait, we move fast.
We also deliver on weekends; yes, that includes Saturday and Sunday; because we know your project doesn’t stop just because it’s not a weekday. If you need a dumpster available today, give us a call. We’ll do everything we can to get it to you.
One of the biggest complaints we hear about other dumpster companies? Hidden fees that show up after the fact. That’s not how we do business.
When you request a quote from Pete’s Disposal, we give you clear, upfront pricing that includes delivery, pickup, disposal, and your rental period. No surprises. No fine print. Just honest pricing you can count on. We offer competitive rates for all dumpster sizes, and we’re confident our value can’t be beaten. If you’re looking for an affordable dumpster rental without sacrificing quality or service, you’ve found the right company.
Most projects need a dumpster for about a week, and that’s our standard rental period. But we understand that construction timelines shift, renovations take longer than expected, and sometimes life just happens.
That’s why we offer flexible rental options. Need the dumpster for just a few days? No problem. Working on a long-term project that’ll take a month or more? We’ve got weekly rental options and can extend your rental period as needed. Just let us know what works for you, and we’ll make it happen.
Let’s be honest; nobody gets excited about renting a dumpster. But that doesn’t mean it should be an unpleasant experience. All of our dumpsters are clean, well-maintained, and delivered in professional condition. We take pride in how our equipment looks because we know it reflects on your property and your project.
Whether we’re dropping off a dumpster at your home or a commercial job site, you can expect it to arrive on time, in good shape, and ready to work.
We care about New Orleans and the environment we all share. That’s why we’re committed to responsible waste disposal and recycling whenever possible. After we pick up your dumpster, we sort through materials to identify items that can be recycled or repurposed rather than sent to the landfill.
We partner with local recycling facilities across Louisiana to ensure metals, cardboard, certain plastics, and other recyclable materials are processed properly. It’s one more way we do our part to reduce waste and protect the community we call home.
We’re not new to this. After more than 20 years serving Orleans Parish, we know this city inside and out; from narrow streets in the French Quarter to sprawling developments in New Orleans East. We understand local regulations, permit requirements, and the logistics of getting a dumpster exactly where you need it, even in tricky locations.
Our drivers are experienced, courteous, and familiar with the neighborhoods they serve. They know how to navigate tight driveways, avoid overhead power lines, and place your dumpster without damaging your property. That kind of local knowledge makes all the difference.
We’re proud of the reputation we’ve built in New Orleans over the past two decades, and nothing makes us happier than hearing from satisfied customers.
From contractors who’ve worked with us on dozens of jobs to homeowners who called us during a stressful time, the feedback is consistent: we’re reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. Customers tell us they appreciate our 24/7 availability, our willingness to answer questions, and the fact that we always follow through on our commitments. Whether someone is renting their first dumpster or their fiftieth, we treat every project ; and every person; with the same level of care. That’s the Pete’s Disposal difference, and it’s what keeps customers coming back.
Pete’s Disposal is based right here in New Orleans, and we’re proud to serve every corner of Orleans Parish. From Uptown to the Lower Ninth Ward, Gentilly to Lakeview, Algiers to the Marigny; if you’re in our parish, we’ve got you covered.
But our service doesn’t stop at the parish line. We also work with customers throughout Louisiana who need dependable dumpster rental for projects big and small. Whether you’re managing a construction site in Metairie, handling a home renovation in Kenner, or coordinating a commercial project elsewhere in the state, we bring the same commitment to quality and customer service no matter where the job takes us.

| How do I choose the right size? | Not sure which dumpster fits your project? We're happy to help! Describe your project and we'll recommend the right size. It's better to go slightly larger if you're unsure; overfilling can lead to extra fees or safety issues. Call us for a free consultation. |
| What happens if I overfill the dumpster? | Each dumpster has a fill line marked inside. Do not load debris above this line, as it creates safety hazards during transport. If you exceed the included tonnage, overage fees apply per ton. We'll explain weight limits upfront so there are no surprises. |
| What items are prohibited? | We cannot accept hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, tires (in most cases), appliances with Freon, or electronics. These require special disposal. We'll point you toward proper recycling or disposal resources for prohibited items. |
| Do I need a permit? | If the dumpster sits on your private property (driveway, yard, parking lot), usually no permit is needed. Street placement typically requires a permit from your city or parish. We can help you understand local requirements and assist with permit applications. |
| Where should I place the dumpster? | Choose a flat, solid surface like a driveway, parking lot, or stable ground. Avoid grass (can cause ruts) and ensure clear overhead access (no low-hanging wires or tree branches). Leave space for our truck to deliver and pick up; about 60 feet of straight access. We'll place boards under the dumpster to protect your driveway if requested. |
| What are the rental terms? | Our standard rental period works for most projects, with flexible extensions available if you need more time. Just call before your scheduled pickup. All pricing is transparent and includes delivery, rental period, pickup, disposal, and weight allowance; no hidden fees. |
| How quickly can you deliver? | We offer same-day delivery when you order before our cutoff time. Next-day delivery is standard. Weekend and early morning deliveries available. We're committed to fast, reliable service that works around your schedule. |
| How do I schedule pickup? | Call us when you're finished filling the dumpster, or we'll pick it up on your pre-scheduled date. Flexible scheduling means you control the timeline. Need it picked up urgently? We respond quickly. |
| Will the dumpster damage my property? | We take care to protect your property. Our professional drivers place dumpsters carefully. For driveways, we can put protective boards underneath. Avoid placing dumpsters on soft ground or freshly paved surfaces. We'll discuss the best placement during scheduling to prevent any damage. |
| What happens to my waste? | We're committed to eco-friendly disposal practices. Materials are sorted at local facilities, and we recycle whenever possible; including metal, concrete, wood, and cardboard. Our responsible waste management minimizes landfill impact and supports environmental sustainability. |
