When you need a reliable dumpster rental in Lansing, we’re the team you can count on. At J & M Hauling, we’ve been serving homeowners, contractors, and businesses across Ingham County since 2002 with fast, affordable roll-off dumpster solutions. Whether you’re tackling a home renovation, managing a construction site, or cleaning out years of clutter, we offer dumpster sizes ranging from compact 10-yard containers to large 40-yard roll-offs. Our commitment is simple: same-day delivery when you need it, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and eco-friendly disposal practices that protect our Michigan communities. We’re locally owned, fully licensed and insured, and we treat every customer like a neighbor; because in Lansing, that’s exactly what you are.
We proudly serve two distinct audiences: homeowners working on personal projects and commercial clients managing large-scale operations. Whether you’re a property manager coordinating a multi-unit cleanout, a contractor overseeing a demolition job, or a homeowner finally clearing out that packed garage, we have the right dumpster rental solution for you. Our versatility comes from decades of experience in waste management and debris removal across every type of project imaginable. Unlike national chains that treat you like a number, we’re a local Ingham County business that understands the unique needs of our community. When you call us, you’ll speak with knowledgeable team members who can guide you to the perfect dumpster size, answer questions about local regulations, and ensure your rental experience is smooth from start to finish.
J & M Hauling started in 2002 when brothers Jim and Mike decided Lansing needed a different kind of dumpster rental company; one that actually cared about customer service. What began with a single truck and two roll-off dumpsters has grown into one of Ingham County’s most trusted waste hauling operations, but we’ve never forgotten our roots. We’re still family-owned and operated, and that means every customer gets our personal attention. Our growth has been fueled entirely by word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business from satisfied customers who know they can count on us. From our first rental to a homeowner cleaning out their basement to major commercial contracts with Michigan construction firms, we’ve built our reputation one job at a time. We’re not just a business in Lansing; we’re part of this community, and we’re committed to staying locally owned and operated for decades to come.
No two projects are exactly alike, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of dumpster sizes and rental options tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re dealing with a small garage cleanout or coordinating debris removal for a multi-story demolition, we have the equipment and expertise to handle it. Our team will help you choose the right solution, navigate any permit requirements, and ensure your project stays on schedule.
Choosing the right dumpster size can feel overwhelming, but we make it easy. Here’s what we offer:
10-Yard Dumpsters: Perfect for small renovation projects, garage cleanouts, and yard waste removal. These compact containers fit easily in tight spaces while still handling substantial debris loads.
10-Yard Lowboy Dumpsters: Our lowboy dumpsters feature a lower profile for easier loading of heavy materials like concrete, dirt, and roofing shingles. Ideal when you need convenient access without a ramp.
15-Yard Dumpsters: Great for medium-sized home cleanouts, deck removal projects, and roofing jobs. This is our most popular residential size for basement and attic cleanouts.
20-Yard Dumpsters: The go-to choice for whole-home cleanouts, large renovation projects, and estate cleanups. Handles significant volumes of household debris and construction waste.
30-Yard Dumpsters: Designed for major construction debris, demolition projects, and commercial property cleanouts. This size tackles serious waste removal needs.
40-Yard Dumpsters: Our largest option for large-scale construction, commercial demolition, and multi-unit property projects. When you’re moving serious volumes of debris, this is your solution.
Not sure which size you need? Just give us a call; we’ll ask a few questions about your project and recommend the perfect fit. Getting the size right the first time saves you money and hassle.

| Common Customer Concerns & Important Guidelines | |
|---|---|
| Question / Concern | Answer / Guideline |
| How do I select the correct dumpster size for my project? | Consider the scope of your project and volume of debris. Our team can help you estimate based on project type. As a general rule: small cleanouts need 10-15 yards, full renovations need 20-30 yards, and major construction or demolition requires 30-40 yards. When in doubt, it's often better to go slightly larger to avoid overfilling. |
| What happens if I overload the dumpster or exceed the weight limit? | Each dumpster has a fill line marked on the inside; debris should not exceed this line. Overloading can create safety hazards during transport and may result in additional fees. If you exceed the included tonnage, overage charges apply (typically charged per ton). We'll always communicate weight limits upfront with our Transparent Pricing policy. |
| What items are prohibited? Can I dispose of hazardous waste? | Prohibited items include: hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, solvents, oil, asbestos), tires, batteries, propane tanks, medical waste, electronics in some areas, and certain appliances containing refrigerants. We practice Eco-Friendly Disposal, which means properly sorting and recycling acceptable materials. Always ask if you're unsure about a specific item. |
| Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on my property? | If the dumpster is placed on private property (your driveway, yard, parking lot), you typically do not need a permit. If it must be placed on a public street or right-of-way, a permit from your local municipality is usually required. We can guide you through local regulations and help you understand permit requirements in your area. |
| Where should I place the dumpster to avoid damage to my property? | Choose a flat, stable surface like a driveway or parking lot. Avoid soft ground, grass, or areas near septic systems or underground utilities. Consider placing plywood boards under the dumpster to protect asphalt or concrete from weight and scratching. Ensure there's clearance overhead (watch for low-hanging power lines, tree branches) and enough space for delivery and pickup (typically 60+ feet of clearance for the truck). |
| What are the standard rental terms and how long can I keep the dumpster? | Our standard rental period is 7 days, which is included in the base price. Need it longer? We offer Flexible Scheduling with daily, weekly, and monthly rental options. Extended rentals incur additional fees, but we work with your timeline. Let us know your project duration upfront, and we'll structure the rental accordingly. |
| How quickly can you deliver and pick up the dumpster? | We offer Fast and Reliable Delivery with same-day service available (based on availability and order time). Most orders placed by early afternoon can be delivered the same day. Next-day delivery is guaranteed for most requests. Pickup is typically scheduled within 24 hours of your call. We understand projects move quickly, so we move quickly too. |
| How can I prevent damage during delivery and pickup? | Our experienced drivers take care during placement, but you can help by: clearing the delivery path of vehicles, toys, and obstacles; marking any sensitive areas (sprinkler heads, decorative pavers); communicating any concerns about your property upfront. Using protective boards under the dumpster minimizes surface contact. We're licensed and insured, and we treat every property with respect. |
