Oakwood will rent you a dumpster itself

Oakwood does this its own way. The city owns dumpsters and rents them to people who live there.

To set up a delivery, call Public Works at 937-298-0777. The office is at 210 Shafor Boulevard.

The dumpsters hold about 12 cubic yards. You can keep one for up to two business days, so have your pile ready before it shows up.

It's only for work you're doing yourself. If you hired a contractor, their debris can't go in. Hazardous stuff can't go in either.

What does it cost?

The base fee is $115. For a mixed load you also pay a per-ton dumping charge from the county transfer station. Ask Public Works what that rate is right now.

Is your load only dirt, sod, logs, asphalt or concrete? Then it's simpler. You pay the $115 plus a flat $76, which comes to $191.

Don't overload it

Too heavy? That's on you. You'll have to order a second dumpster, pay for it, and move enough out of the first one to fix the problem.

When this won't work for you

Need it longer than two days? Got a contractor doing the job? Then you want a regular dumpster company. Use the form and we'll get you prices.
