Our story started the way a lot of good businesses do; out of necessity and a little bit of frustration.
Back in 2010, our founder was helping a friend renovate a historic home in New Haven’s Wooster Square neighborhood. They needed a dumpster, and what should have been a straightforward rental turned into a nightmare of hidden fees, missed deliveries, and zero customer service. That experience planted a seed: there has to be a better way.
So we started Good Guys Hauling & Junk Removal with one truck, one dumpster, and a simple promise; treat people right, show up when you say you will, and never surprise customers with hidden charges.
Fast-forward to today, and we’re proud to be one of New Haven County’s most trusted names in dumpster rental and waste management. We’ve grown our fleet, expanded our service area across Connecticut, and built lasting relationships with thousands of residential and commercial customers who know they can count on us; whether it’s a last-minute emergency cleanout or a months-long construction project.
We’re still locally owned, still family-operated, and still driven by that same commitment: reliable service, fair pricing, and doing right by our community.
No two projects are the same, and that’s why we offer a full range of roll-off dumpster sizes and flexible rental options designed to fit your exact needs.
10-Yard Dumpsters
Perfect for small cleanouts, garage decluttering, minor landscaping debris, or compact home improvement projects. Great for homeowners who need something manageable without taking up too much driveway space.
10-Yard Lowboy Dumpsters
Our lowboy dumpster features a lower profile for easy loading; ideal when you’re tossing heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles and don’t want to lift debris over high sides.
15-Yard Dumpsters
A popular choice for medium-sized renovation projects, flooring removal, deck tear-outs, and roofing jobs. This size strikes the perfect balance between capacity and footprint.
20-Yard Dumpsters
Our most requested size. Whether you’re remodeling multiple rooms, cleaning out an entire estate, or hauling away construction debris from a residential build, the 20-yard dumpster handles it all with room to spare.
30-Yard Dumpsters
Built for larger renovation projects, multi-room demolitions, whole-house cleanouts, and commercial waste removal. Contractors love this size for its generous capacity and versatility.
40-Yard Dumpsters
The heavy hitter. If you’re managing a major construction site, large-scale demolition, commercial teardown, or multi-property cleanout, this is the dumpster you need.
Not sure which size is right for your project? Just give us a call; we’ll walk you through it based on what you’re hauling and help you choose the most cost-effective option.
We know construction timelines shift, cleanouts take longer than expected, and emergencies don’t work on a 9-to-5 schedule. That’s why we offer:

| Common Customer Questions & Helpful Guidance | ||||
| How do I choose the right dumpster size? | Not sure what you need? We're here to help. Just describe your project; whether it's a basement cleanout, roof replacement, or construction job; and we'll recommend the perfect size. When in doubt, it's often better to go slightly larger to avoid overage fees. Our team has over a decade of experience helping New Haven customers pick the right fit. | |||
| What happens if I overload the dumpster? | Each dumpster has a fill line clearly marked on the inside. Keep debris below this line to avoid overage charges. We include a set tonnage with each rental, and any weight beyond that is billed per ton. Heavy materials like concrete or dirt fill up weight limits faster than bulky items like furniture. Need help estimating? Just ask; we want you to stay within budget. | |||
| What items are prohibited? | We cannot accept hazardous materials including paint, chemicals, batteries, propane tanks, tires, asbestos, or medical waste. Most household junk, construction debris, and yard waste is perfectly fine. Our eco-friendly disposal practices mean we recycle and properly dispose of materials whenever possible. Unsure about something? Give us a call before loading it. | |||
| Do I need a permit? | If the dumpster goes on your private property (driveway, yard), you typically don't need a permit. If it needs to be placed on a public street or sidewalk in New Haven, you may need a permit from the city. We'll walk you through the requirements and can provide guidance on obtaining permits if needed. Planning ahead? We offer flexible scheduling to coordinate with permit approvals. | |||
| Where should I place the dumpster? | Choose a flat, stable surface with enough overhead clearance for delivery (watch for low-hanging wires or branches). Driveways work great for most residential projects. Make sure the spot is accessible and won't block traffic or emergency access. Our drivers can also place plywood under the dumpster to protect your driveway from scratches or damage; just let us know if you'd like that. | |||
| How long can I keep the dumpster? | Our standard rental is 7 days, but we're completely flexible. Need it for a quick weekend? No problem. Working on a month-long renovation? We've got daily, weekly, and monthly rates. If your project timeline changes, just give us a call. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no surprise fees for reasonable extensions. | |||
| How quickly can you deliver? | We offer same-day delivery when you call before noon, and next-day delivery is available for most orders. Been serving New Haven County since 2010, we understand that projects don't always go according to plan. Our fast and reliable delivery keeps your job on track. Pickup is just as quick; call when you're ready, and we'll come haul it away. | |||
| Will the dumpster damage my property? | We take great care during delivery and pickup. Our professional drivers are trained to place dumpsters gently and accurately. For extra protection, we can place boards under the dumpster on paved surfaces. Avoid placing dumpsters on grass during wet conditions, as the weight can create ruts. We've delivered thousands of dumpsters across New Haven without incident; your property is safe with us. | |||
