Demolition dumpster rental in Amarillo, TX
Demo projects generate a lot of debris in a short time. Whether you’re tearing down a shed, pulling up a deck, or knocking out an old garage, you need a container in place before the first wall comes down. We deliver same-day in Amarillo when you call before noon. Flat rate pricing, no hidden fees. What we quote is what you pay.
What Size Do You Need?
For sheds, small outbuildings, and standard decks, a 20-yard or 30-yard works. A single-car detached garage typically fills a 20-yard. A two-car garage or large deck with heavy framing usually calls for a 30-yard.
For pools, concrete structures, or multi-bay garages, go with a 30-yard or 40-yard. Call us with the dimensions and we’ll help you size it right before the job starts.
Keep in mind that demo debris is often heavier than it looks. Concrete pads, block walls, and thick framing lumber add weight faster than expected. Upsizing once is cheaper than running overweight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to demolish a shed or garage in Amarillo?
In most cases, yes. The City of Amarillo requires a demolition permit for structures over a certain size. Check with the City’s Development Services Department before you start. The permit process is straightforward for residential outbuildings.
How heavy is typical demolition debris?
Heavier than most people expect. A 12x12 wood-frame shed fills a 10-yard and can push close to the weight limit. A concrete slab under a shed adds significant weight. Describe the structure to us when you call and we’ll recommend the right size.
What if there are old appliances inside the structure being demolished?
Refrigerators, freezers, and window AC units contain freon and must be removed before the structure goes in the dumpster. Call an appliance recycler to pick them up first, or the City of Amarillo may offer bulky waste pickup for large appliances.
Can I put a concrete slab in the same container as framing lumber?
Yes, within weight limits. Load the concrete first, then add lighter debris on top. The combined weight still must stay within the container’s limit. If the slab is large, it may need to go in a separate concrete-only load. Call us and we’ll work it out.
