Sizes & pricing

Three bins. Flat rates. Printed right here.

"Cubic yards" is just how much space the bin holds. One cubic yard is roughly a washing machine's worth of stuff, or half a pickup-truck bed.

Why Rowdy Raccoon

Built for tight lots and short patience.

01

Fits tight spaces

Our bins start at 8 feet long — short enough for a German Village driveway, an alley pad, or a shared drive without blocking your neighbor in.

02

Instant online booking

Pick a size, pick a date, see your price, done. You never have to call anyone for a quote — the price on the screen is the price you pay.

03

Same-week delivery

Most bins land within two days of booking, next-day when the calendar allows. You'll get a two-hour delivery window the night before.

04

Flat rate, no surprises

Delivery, pickup, disposal and taxes are all in the one number. Weight overages are the only extra, and we tell you the limit up front.

How it works

Three steps. One of them is yours.

1 · Pick size and date

Answer four questions online. Your address confirms we cover you, and the price shows before you pay.

2 · We drop it in the driveway

Protective boards down, bin placed where you asked, driveway exactly how we found it.

3 · We haul it away

Seven days included. Tap "pick up" in your confirmation email whenever you're done — sooner is fine.

Three sizes, three attitudes

How it works

Four steps, and you only have to do one of them.

1

Choose your bin and your date

The booking form asks for four things: your delivery address, the bin you want, the date you want it, and what you're throwing out. That's it. Your address confirms coverage before you spend any time on the rest, and the project type just helps us send the right truck setup.

Pricing is calculated on the spot from bin size, delivery date and your part of town. Delivery, pickup, disposal up to the weight limit and taxes are all inside the number you see. Nothing is quoted later.

2

We deliver to your driveway

The night before, you'll get a two-hour arrival window by text. You don't need to be home — but you do need the spot clear: cars moved, gate unlocked if the bin is going out back, and a note in your booking if you want it left of the garage, at the alley pad, or tight to the house.

Our bins ride on a hoist-equipped pickup rather than a full roll-off truck, so nothing heavy has to swing wide across your lawn or curb strip. We set protective boards under the rails on concrete, asphalt and pavers alike.

The question everybody asks

"Will it damage my driveway?"

Short answer: no, and that's the whole reason these bins are small. A loaded 4-yard bin spreads far less weight than a standard 20-yard roll-off, we place it with a hoist instead of dragging it off a tilt bed, and we put plywood boards under the contact rails on every delivery. If your drive is aging concrete or decorative pavers, say so in the booking notes and we'll double-board it. If we ever mark your surface, we fix it.

3

Fill it up

Yes: household junk, furniture, carpet, drywall, lumber, cabinetry, roofing, yard waste, and general renovation debris. Load level with the top rail — anything mounded above it has to come off before we can legally haul it.

No: paint and solvents, oil, propane tanks, tires, batteries, appliances with refrigerant, asbestos, and anything else hazardous. Mattresses and electronics are fine but carry a small per-item disposal fee we'll show you at booking.

Weight limits included: The Kit 1 ton · The Bandit 2 tons · The Alpha 3 tons. Over that it's $85 per additional ton, billed from the scale ticket. Heavy material — concrete, brick, dirt, shingles — fills a weight limit long before it fills the bin, so ask us before you load it.

4

We haul it away

Every rental includes seven days. When you're done, tap the pickup link in your confirmation email or text us — most pickups happen within one business day. Finishing early costs nothing and we'll come get it.

Need longer? Extensions are $12 a day, added automatically if you keep the bin past day seven. No paperwork, no penalty rate.

Where we haul.

We started in the neighborhoods where big roll-offs don't fit. If your street was platted before 1930, you're exactly who we built this for.

Tight-lot specialty neighborhoods

Narrow driveways, alley-only access, brick streets and historic-district placement rules. This is our home turf and our shortest bins were sized for it.

Don't see your neighborhood?

We add coverage as the routes fill in. Tell us where you are and we'll say yes or no the same day — no runaround.

Why small bins matter here

A standard 20-yard roll-off needs about 60 feet of straight approach and 23 feet of drop space. Most German Village drives don't have half that, and a lot of Clintonville homes only have alley access behind the garage. Our longest bin is 14 feet and rides in on a pickup, so we can back down a single-width drive, place it square, and leave without touching your tree lawn or your neighbor's fence.
Realtors & property managers

Fast cleanouts for listings, staging, and tenant turnover.

Photos are Thursday, the bin needs to be gone Wednesday, and the volume is whatever the last tenant left behind. We schedule around your closing dates, not our route sheet.

Priority scheduling

Partner accounts get first call on next-day slots, including the Friday-before-photos scramble.

Repeat-volume pricing

Rates step down once you're booking regularly. Same flat structure, no per-job negotiation.

One point of contact

You text one number and get the owner, not a call center queue and a ticket number.

Invoicing, not checkout

Net-30 terms available for established accounts, with per-property references on every invoice.

Why partner with the small-bin company

→Your tightest listings — the century homes with the 9-foot drive — are the ones we're built for. Larger operators either decline them or park in the street and pull a permit.
→A 4-yard bin on the drive photographs far better than a 20-yard roll-off across the front of the house during a showing week.
→Occupied-building turnovers stay quiet: pickup-truck delivery, no tilt-bed banging at 7am, no blocked alley for your other tenants.
→Driveway-safe placement is in writing, which matters when the surface belongs to the seller and not to you.

About

Five bins, one truck, and a very specific problem.

How this started

A friend was gutting a bathroom in a 1904 house off Third Street. Three dumpster companies came out, looked at the driveway, and said the same thing: we can't get in there, park it in the street and pull a permit. The job took two extra weekends and eleven trips to the transfer station in a borrowed pickup.

The bins that fit these driveways exist. Nobody in Columbus was renting them to homeowners. So we bought five, put a hoist on a pickup, and started answering the phone — then built a website so you'd never have to use it.

Why a raccoon

Because we're not going to pretend a dumpster company is glamorous. Raccoons are native to Ohio, professionally interested in other people's garbage, and famously capable of fitting into spaces they have no business fitting into. That's the entire business model with a tail on it.

The mascot is the fun part. The scheduling, the boarded driveways and the flat rate are the serious part, and we'd rather be memorable about the first and boring about the second.
