Local anchors: DR BinZ (15 yd from $385 incl. 2 tons; 20 yd from $425 incl. 2.5 tons; overage $100/ton) and redbox+ Richmond (20 yd $420–$455 incl. 3 tons, up to 10 days). The 10-yard figure is a Virginia-wide broker starting price, not a Richmond quote. No published Richmond prices exist for 30/40 yard — shown as such rather than estimated. Your exact quote depends on debris type, how long you keep the bin, and how far the truck drives.

What makes the price move

Weight overages. Go over the included tonnage and most haulers charge roughly $50–$100 per extra ton. Heavy debris (concrete, dirt, shingles) hits the limit fast — that's what the smaller 10-yard "heavy debris" bins exist for.

Extra days. The standard rental is 7 days. Extra days typically run $10–$25 per day, or a flat fee per week. Ask before you book, not after.

Debris type. Clean construction debris is cheapest. Mixed household junk is mid-range. Tires, mattresses, appliances with refrigerant, paint and anything hazardous cost extra or are refused outright.

Do you need a permit in Richmond?

Driveway or private property: no permit. On a street or sidewalk you need a Work-in-Street Permit (WISP) from the City of Richmond — the city's own FAQ confirms the permit covers storage containers (including roll-offs) in the public right-of-way. The city does not publish the container fee; confirm with Public Works when you apply.

How to pay less

Book the size you're sure about, not the size you hope for — one 20-yard bin is cheaper than two 10-yard swaps. Keep the rental inside 7 days. Load heavy material evenly and don't fill past the rim; an overloaded bin gets refused and you pay a trip fee anyway. If your project is flexible, ask about weekday delivery pricing — some haulers discount off-peak drops.
