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 tear-off that starts Monday, a parent's house that needs clearing. 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 are getting rid of and where it needs to sit. We tell you the size that actually suits, the flat rate that covers everything, and when the truck will be there. Then we show up.
We have been doing this from a yard on the south side of Janesville since 2012. Our drivers know which streets in the Janesville core are too tight for a 30 yard, which subdivisions have covenants worth checking, and what the ground does out on the county roads after the spring thaw.
- Right-sized advice. We would rather sell you 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 for a small daily rate.
- Proper disposal. Sorted and diverted where possible, Wisconsin landfill bans respected.

How it works
Four steps, one phone call, no online forms to fight with.

We deliver and protect
The driver texts ahead, lays boards under the rails and sets the container exactly where you want it. Doors face the way you need them to.
- 3
Fill it at your own pace
Standard rental is seven days. Load heavy material flat on the floor, keep everything level with the top rail, and keep banned items out.

Ring us when you are done. We collect, weigh, sort what can be diverted and dispose of the rest properly. No chasing, no paperwork.
Reviews
What our neighbours say
A sample of the feedback we have had from customers around Janesville, Rock County and the nearby towns.
We booked a 20 yard on a Tuesday morning and it was sitting in the driveway before lunch. Jared walked me through what would and wouldn't fit before I paid a cent, and the plywood under the wheels meant our new concrete came out of it without a mark. Price was exactly what he quoted.
Danielle R.Fourth Ward, Janesville — Home Cleanout
I run three to five tear-offs a week in season and Little J's is the only outfit around here that consistently hits the delivery window. If I call for a swap by 3pm I have an empty on site the next morning. That reliability is worth more to me than a few dollars a load.
Mike S.Milton — Roofing Contractor
Clearing my mother's house was the hardest month of our lives. They let us keep the container an extra week without any nonsense, and the driver actually helped my husband wrestle a sleeper sofa over the rail. Genuinely kind people at a time when that mattered.

The difference
Why Janesville keeps calling Little J's
We answer the phone
You get a person who knows the trucks and the schedule, not a call centre three states away reading from a script. Most quotes take under four minutes.
One flat rate, all in
Delivery, pickup, a generous weight allowance, disposal and tax are quoted together up front. If the number changes, it is because you asked for something extra.
Same-day when you need it
Call before noon on a weekday and there is a good chance we can have a container on your driveway the same afternoon. Next morning at the latest.
Your driveway is protected
Boards go down under the rails on every residential drop, at no charge. Our drivers grew up on these streets and treat your property like their own.
Disposed of properly
We sort and divert what we can and follow Wisconsin's landfill bans to the letter, so nothing you hand us turns into a problem later.
Local, not a franchise
Founded in Janesville in 2012 and still family run. When something goes sideways you talk to the owner, usually the same day.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster in Janesville?
If you call before about noon on a weekday we can usually deliver the same afternoon, and next-morning delivery is standard the rest of the time. Spring and early summer are our busiest stretch in Rock County, so if your project has a fixed start date it is worth booking three or four days ahead. Emergency and storm clean-up calls get moved to the front of the queue where we can.
What does your flat rate actually include?
Delivery, a standard seven-day rental, pickup, a stated weight allowance in tons, disposal at the landfill and state and local taxes. There is 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 Janesville?
Not if it sits on your own driveway or private property, which covers the large majority of our residential drops. If the container has to sit on a public street, terrace or alley you will generally need a right-of-way or obstruction permit from the City of Janesville. Rules vary in Milton, Edgerton, Beloit and the smaller villages, so always confirm with that municipality first.
Will the truck damage my driveway?
We lay protective boards under the container rails on every residential delivery at no charge, and our drivers are trained to spread the load and avoid pivot turns on soft surfaces. That handles the ordinary risk. A driveway with an already-failing base, fresh sealcoat, or saturated ground during the March–April thaw is a different conversation — tell us and we will suggest a placement that works.
What can't I put in the dumpster?
Wisconsin bans a specific list from landfills: electronics such as TVs, monitors and computers, appliances containing refrigerant, tires, lead-acid batteries, used oil and filters, yard waste, and fluorescent or mercury-containing devices. On top of that we cannot take liquids, wet paint, propane tanks, asbestos-containing material or hazardous chemicals. Call us and we will tell you exactly where each of those should go instead.
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 — extra days are charged at a modest daily rate and we would 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 Janesville?
Yes. We regularly run to Milton, Beloit, Edgerton, Evansville, Clinton, Orfordville, Footville, Brodhead, Whitewater, Fort Atkinson, Delavan, Elkhorn, Stoughton, Oregon, Monroe, Lake Geneva and Darien, plus the rural townships in between. If you are near the edge of that circle, ring us — south-central Wisconsin is a small place and 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 low-side container — usually a 10 yard. Heavy inert material hits the weight limit long before it fills the box, and keeping it separate from mixed debris means it can go to a recycler rather than the landfill, which keeps your cost down. Never mix concrete with household junk or wood.
