Why people call us back
Dumpster rental that fits the job, not the other way round
Most people call us in the middle of something stressful — a basement that finally has to be dealt with, a remodel that starts Monday, a parent's house that needs clearing, storm debris piling up after a rough summer system rolls through. The last thing you need is a pricing puzzle or a container that turns up two days late.
So we keep it simple. You tell us roughly what you're getting rid of and where it needs to sit. We size it right, quote a flat rate that covers everything, and tell you exactly when our own truck will be there. Then we show up.
Our yard sits at 1270 Mission Lane in Alexandria — close enough to Old Town's narrow, permit-parked rowhouse blocks that our drivers know the tight streets by heart, and close enough to the wider driveways spreading out across the rest of Northern Virginia that a fair share of what we haul in any given week comes from well outside a typical in-town lot. From here we run across Alexandria and into the neighboring Northern Virginia jurisdictions, from Arlington and Fairfax closest by, out to Kingstowne and Springfield further southwest. Our drivers know which in-town blocks need a careful approach, which longer driveways need extra care, and how a summer thunderstorm or a winter nor'easter changes a delivery plan compared to a standard suburban cleanout.
- Right-sized advice. We'd rather put you in a 15 than have you pay for air in a 30.
- Honest weight allowances. Stated in tons on the quote, not buried in terms.
- Flexible rental periods. Standard is seven days; keep it longer if the job runs on.
- Proper disposal. Sorted and diverted where possible, Virginia DEQ solid waste rules respected on every load.

The process
How it works
Four steps, one phone call, no online forms to fight with.
- 1
Call and describe the job
Tell us what you're clearing and where it will sit. We ask a few questions about weight and access, then quote the right container and a flat rate on the spot at (571) 321-5672.
- 2
We deliver fast
Call before noon and we can usually deliver the same day; otherwise it's on the ground the next morning. Our own driver lays boards under the rails and sets it exactly where you want it — you don't even need to be home, just keep the spot clear.
- 3
Fill it at your own pace
Standard rental is seven days, and it's easy to extend. Load heavy material flat on the floor, keep everything level with the top rail, and keep banned items out.
- 4
One call and it's gone
Ring us when you're done and we'll send a driver out. We collect, weigh, sort what can be diverted and dispose of the rest properly ourselves. No chasing, no paperwork.
Reviews
What our neighbors say
A sample of the feedback we've had from customers around Alexandria and the rest of Northern Virginia.
Our house is two blocks off King Street and parking on our block is permit-only most days. They figured out a placement that never blocked the sidewalk and it sat there through five weeks of a full kitchen tear-out.
Denise M.Old Town — Rowhouse Kitchen Remodel
Our driveway isn't huge and the street curves right at our house. Their driver knew exactly how to set the container without blocking the cul-de-sac. Showed up when they said they would, both times.
Paul R.Kingstowne — Basement Cleanout
We used them clearing out my father's house before selling. Same driver both pickups, flat rate held the whole way through, and nobody had to explain the gate code twice.

The difference
Why Alexandria keeps calling JJ Dumpster Rental
We answer the phone
You get one of our own people who actually knows the schedule, not a call center reading from a script. Most quotes take under four minutes.
One flat rate, all in
Delivery, pickup, a stated weight allowance, disposal and tax are quoted together up front. If the number changes, it's because you asked for something extra.
Same-day when you need it
Call before noon on a weekday and there's a good chance we can have a container in your driveway or on your lot the same afternoon. Next morning at the latest.
Your driveway is protected
Boards go down under the rails on every residential drop, whether it's a tight Old Town street or a long driveway out toward Kingstowne, at no charge.
Disposed of properly
We sort and divert what we can and follow Virginia DEQ solid waste rules to the letter, so nothing you hand over turns into someone else's problem.
Mid-Atlantic weather doesn't slow us down
A summer thunderstorm line, a landfalling tropical system, or a fall/winter nor'easter are all part of running trucks around Northern Virginia, and our drivers plan around them instead of quietly disappearing when the forecast turns.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you get a dumpster delivered in Alexandria?
If you call before about noon on a weekday we can usually deliver the same afternoon, and next-morning is standard the rest of the time. A fast-moving summer storm system can occasionally slow a route through Northern Virginia, and we'd rather build in an honest extra half-day during a rough weather stretch than promise something our trucks can't deliver safely. Outside of that there's no real seasonal lull — spring and fall keep us busy with remodels and storm cleanup, and the summer and winter months bring their own steady mix of renovation and cleanout work. If your project has a fixed start date it's worth booking a few days ahead.
What does your flat rate actually include?
Delivery, a standard seven-day rental, pickup, a stated weight allowance in tons, disposal at a permitted facility, and state and local taxes. There's nothing hidden underneath it. The only things that would change your number are keeping the container past the rental period, going over the weight allowance, needing it relocated on site, or putting banned material in it.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Alexandria?
Not if it sits on your own driveway or private property, which covers the large majority of our residential drops — no permit is required anywhere we deliver for a container on private land. If the container has to sit on a public street instead, City of Alexandria, VA is the office to confirm a temporary right-of-way permit with for an address inside Alexandria's city limits. Outside Alexandria, each Northern Virginia jurisdiction we serve handles its own right-of-way permitting directly — see our service area page for the right link per location.
Will the truck damage my driveway?
We lay protective boards under the container rails on every residential delivery at no charge, and our drivers know how to spread the load rather than pivot-turn — that matters just as much on a tight Old Town block as it does on a wider driveway out in Kingstowne or Springfield. Tell us about the surface and grade and we'll pick a placement that works.
Can you deliver to tight spots like Old Town or out to the suburbs?
Regularly. The brick-paved blocks around Old Town and Del Ray have narrower streets and permit-only parking that's tighter than a lot of the newer, wider subdivisions we cover, and a delivery to a longer driveway toward Kingstowne or Springfield is a normal part of our week. Our drivers know to slow down and place the container carefully rather than force a spot that doesn't work. Tell us the neighborhood when you call and we'll factor it into the delivery.
What happens to dumpster service in bad weather?
We keep running it, as safely as the roads allow. Northern Virginia gets real Mid-Atlantic weather — summer thunderstorms and the occasional tropical system remnant, and coastal nor'easters in the fall and winter — and either can occasionally push a delivery back half a day. We'd rather call and reschedule a morning early than have a driver out in unsafe conditions. Outside of active severe weather, JJ Dumpster Rental doesn't slow down — we run year-round across Northern Virginia, straight through the hottest summer stretch and the coldest winter one.
What can't I put in the dumpster?
Virginia restricts a number of materials from ordinary landfill disposal — paint, solvents and oils, tires, batteries, hazardous chemicals, propane tanks and gas cylinders, and medical waste among them. Call us and we'll tell you exactly where each of those should go instead, or point you to Virginia Dept. of Environmental Quality - Land & Waste for the full rules.
How long do I get to keep it?
Seven days comes standard with every rental, which is comfortable for most home cleanouts and single-trade jobs. If you need longer, just say so when you book — extension is easy and we'd far rather extend you than have you rush. Contractors on longer builds usually run a standing swap-out schedule instead.
Do you serve towns outside Alexandria?
Yes. We regularly deliver across Arlington, Falls Church, Fairfax, Mount Vernon, Belle Haven, Groveton, Huntington, Franconia, Kingstowne, Springfield, plus the roads and neighborhoods in between. If you're near the edge of that circle, ring us — we usually make it work.
Can I get a dumpster for concrete, brick or dirt?
Yes, but it needs to be a dedicated clean load in a smaller container — usually a 10 or 15 yard, since heavy material like concrete, brick and fill dirt hits the weight limit long before it fills the box. That comes up constantly here with rowhouse renovation work around Old Town and foundation work out toward Kingstowne and Springfield — poured footings, block debris and excavated fill dirt are a routine part of the workload. Keeping it separate from mixed debris also means it can go to a recycler rather than the landfill. Never mix concrete with household junk or wood.
