Since 2009, we’ve been the go-to name for reliable roll-off dumpster rental services in Altadena and throughout Los Angeles County. What started as a father-and-son operation with a single truck and two dumpsters has grown into one of California’s most trusted waste management partners; but we’ve never forgotten our roots or the community that helped us get here.
We built Junk Heroes on a simple promise: deliver clean dumpsters fast, price them fairly, and treat every customer like family. Whether you’re a homeowner tackling a garage cleanout or a contractor managing a multi-site demolition, we’re here with same-day delivery, transparent pricing, and the kind of service that keeps our customers coming back project after project.
Licensed, insured, and locally owned, we understand what matters most to Altadena residents and businesses: dependability, honesty, and getting the job done right the first time.
Back in 2009, our founder was working construction in Los Angeles County when he saw a gap in the market. Too many dumpster companies showed up late, nickel-and-dimed customers with hidden fees, or dropped off beat-up equipment that looked like it belonged in a junkyard itself. He knew there had to be a better way.
So he bought his first roll-off dumpster, painted “Junk Heroes” on the side, and made a commitment: always show up on time, always be upfront about pricing, and always leave the job site cleaner than we found it. Fifteen years later, that philosophy still drives everything we do.
Today, we serve residential customers, commercial contractors, property managers, and everyone in between across Altadena and Los Angeles County. From single-family home renovations to large-scale construction projects, we’ve handled thousands of jobs and built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
Our values haven’t changed since day one: reliability, environmental responsibility, and world-class customer service. We’re not a faceless corporation; we’re your neighbors, and we take pride in serving this community.
We understand that home projects come with enough stress without worrying about where all that debris is going. That’s why we make residential dumpster rental as simple as possible.
Whether you’re finally tackling that long-overdue garage cleanout, clearing out a basement or attic full of years of accumulated items, preparing for a big move, or handling the difficult task of an estate cleanout, we’ve got you covered. Our residential services include home renovation and remodeling projects, yard waste removal and landscaping cleanup, and furniture and appliance disposal.
We know these projects are personal. We treat your property with respect, protect your driveway during placement, and work around your schedule; not the other way around.
Contractors and builders across Los Angeles County trust us to keep their job sites clean and compliant. We deliver on time, pick up on schedule, and never leave you waiting for a dumpster when you need it most.
Our construction services handle everything from general construction debris removal to full demolition projects. We’re equipped for roofing projects and shingle disposal; one of our most popular contractor services; as well as kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring removal, and concrete disposal. When you’ve got a deadline and a crew waiting, we don’t let you down.
Property managers, business owners, and facility operators count on us for flexible, professional waste solutions. We handle retail renovations, office cleanouts, and ongoing commercial waste needs with the same care and reliability we bring to every job.
Our commercial capabilities also extend to foreclosure cleanouts and hoarding cleanup services, where discretion, efficiency, and compassion matter most.
Not all projects are created equal, and neither are our dumpsters. We offer six different sizes so you only pay for what you actually need; no more, no less.
10 Yard Dumpster Rental – Perfect for small cleanouts, minor home renovations, and garage or shed cleanups. Think of it as the size of about three pickup truck loads.
10 Yard Lowboy Dumpster – Our specialty low-profile option for tight spaces or weight-sensitive driveways. Easier to load, same capacity.
15 Yard Dumpster Rental – Ideal for larger residential projects like basement cleanouts or small construction jobs. Great for moderate remodeling work.
20 Yard Dumpster Rental – Our most popular size. Handles full home renovations, roofing tear-offs, and medium-sized construction projects with ease.
30 Yard Dumpster Rental – Built for major construction, large demolitions, and whole-house estate cleanouts. Serious capacity for serious projects.
40 Yard Dumpster Rental – The biggest we offer. Perfect for commercial projects, complete home demolitions, and large-scale construction that generates heavy debris loads.
Not sure which size is right for your project? Give us a call; we’ll ask a few questions about what you’re doing and recommend the perfect fit. We’d rather get it right the first time than have you pay for a second delivery.
When you need a dumpster, you usually need it now; not next week. That’s why we offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Altadena and Los Angeles County.
Got an unexpected project that just popped up? Emergency demolition? Contractor called in sick and you need to reschedule the whole job? We handle urgent and immediate rental situations every single day. Just call us before noon and we’ll do everything possible to get a dumpster to your site the same day.
We also offer flexible scheduling for less time-sensitive projects. Need it delivered on a weekend? No problem. One-day rental for a quick cleanout? We can do that. Weekly rentals for ongoing construction? Absolutely. Short-term and temporary options? You got it.
Our promise is simple: we deliver when we say we will, and if something changes, we communicate immediately. No surprises, no excuses.
We believe you should know exactly what you’re paying before we ever drop off a dumpster. That’s why our pricing is transparent, all-inclusive, and free of the hidden fees that plague this industry.
When we quote you a price, it includes delivery, pickup, your rental period, and disposal fees for the agreed-upon tonnage. No fuel surcharges that magically appear later. No “environmental fees” we forgot to mention. No fine print surprises.
We offer free quotes and estimates; call us, tell us about your project, and we’ll give you an honest number on the spot. We’re competitive with any legitimate dumpster company in Los Angeles County, and we stand behind every quote we give.
Need to keep the dumpster an extra few days? We’ll extend your rental period at a fair daily rate. Go over tonnage because the project ended up bigger than expected? We’ll only charge you for the actual overage, clearly explained before pickup.
Want to compare our prices? Please do. We’re confident you’ll find we offer the best combination of quality equipment, reliable service, and fair pricing in Altadena.

Renting a dumpster shouldn’t be complicated. Here’s exactly how it works:
That’s it. No hidden steps, no complicated paperwork, no runaround. Just straightforward service from people who do what they say they’re going to do.
We’re not just based in Altadena; we’re part of this community. Our families live here. Our kids go to school here. We shop at the same stores, hike the same trails, and face the same challenges you do.
That local connection matters. It means we understand California’s disposal regulations inside and out. It means we know how to navigate Los Angeles County permit requirements. And it means when you call us, you’re supporting a local business that reinvests in this community, not sending your money to some out-of-state corporate office.
We’ve watched Altadena grow and change over the past 15 years, and we’re honored to have played a small part in so many home improvements, new constructions, and community projects along the way.
Responsible waste management isn’t just about hauling junk away; it’s about doing it in a way that protects our environment and community for the long term.
We partner with certified recycling facilities throughout California to divert as much material as possible from landfills. Construction debris like metal, wood, concrete, and cardboard often gets sorted and recycled rather than buried. When we handle yard waste, we work with composting facilities whenever feasible.
We can’t recycle everything; some materials simply have to go to a landfill; but we’re committed to minimizing waste wherever possible. It’s better for Altadena, better for Los Angeles County, and better for California’s future.
Whether you’re starting a home renovation tomorrow or planning a major construction project next month, we’re here to make the waste management part easy.
Call us now for a free quote and let’s talk about your project. We’ll recommend the right dumpster size, schedule delivery at a time that works for you, and answer any questions you have about the process. Same-day delivery is available when you need it fast.
We’re standing by 24/7 because we know projects don’t always happen between 9 and 5. When you’re ready to move forward, Junk Heroes is ready to help. Let’s get that dumpster delivered and your project moving.
Need help choosing the right dumpster? We offer fast and reliable delivery with transparent pricing on all sizes. Our team will help you select the perfect container for your project; whether it's a small garage cleanout or a major construction job.

| Common Questions & Helpful Answers | |
| How do I choose the right size? |
Not sure which dumpster you need? Here's a simple guide:
|
| How do I avoid overloading the dumpster? |
Every dumpster has a fill line marked clearly on the inside. Keep debris level with or below this line; never pile materials above it. Overloaded dumpsters can't be safely transported and may result in extra fees. Also watch the weight limit. Each size includes a specific tonnage allowance. Heavy materials like concrete, brick, and dirt can max out the weight quickly, even if the dumpster looks half-full. If you exceed the included weight, overage fees apply (typically charged per ton). |
| What items are NOT allowed in the dumpster? |
For safety and environmental reasons, we cannot accept:
|
| Do I need a permit to place a dumpster? |
On private property (driveway, yard): Usually no permit needed. On public property (street, sidewalk): You'll likely need a permit from your city or county. Permit requirements vary by location. We recommend checking with your local municipality before scheduling delivery. Need help? We can point you in the right direction or provide documentation you may need for the permit application. |
| Where should I place the dumpster? |
Choose a flat, stable surface with enough clearance for delivery (at least 60 feet of overhead space for the truck's arm). The dumpster should be:
|
| How long can I keep the dumpster? | Our standard rental period is 7-14 days, which works for most residential and small commercial projects. Need it longer? No problem; we offer flexible weekly and monthly rentals for construction sites and ongoing jobs. Just let us know your timeline when you book, and we'll set up a rental period that fits your schedule. Extensions are easy; just give us a call. |
| How quickly can you deliver? | We offer same-day delivery when you call before noon (subject to availability). Next-day delivery is almost always available. We also schedule deliveries in advance if you're planning ahead. Our fast and reliable delivery service means you get your dumpster when you need it; not when it's convenient for us. Weekend deliveries? We've got you covered. |
| How does pickup work? | When you're finished filling the dumpster, simply give us a call or use our online scheduling tool. We'll arrange pickup at your convenience; usually within 24-48 hours. Make sure the area around the dumpster is clear so our truck can safely remove it. We handle all the hauling and disposal, including eco-friendly recycling of materials whenever possible. |
| Will the dumpster damage my driveway or property? | We take property protection seriously. Our team uses protective boards under the dumpster's wheels to distribute weight and prevent damage to asphalt, concrete, or pavers. We also place the container carefully to avoid landscaping, sprinkler heads, and other obstacles. That said, extremely heavy loads (especially on older or cracked driveways) can sometimes cause stress. We'll assess your property during delivery and recommend the best placement. |
| What's included in the rental price? |
Our transparent pricing includes everything you need:
