The container comes sized to the job you described, not the biggest can on the lot. You hear the rental period, the weight that is included and what a ton over it costs before a truck leaves the yard. It is set where your association and the village allow it, on boards if the driveway is pavers, and hauled when you say it is full, whether that is a garage in Binks Forest or a twelve-stall barn in the Equestrian Preserve.

Six boxes, about thirty seconds. You pick when to be called back, and that is when the phone rings.
Or call (728) 226-7144A container that fits the job, a price that does not change at pickup, and a driver who knows which gate to use and where the HOA wants it parked.
A room count, a square footage or a stall count sets the container. A can that is too big wastes rental money; one too small means a second haul.
The rental period, the tons included and the per-ton rate over that are said before the truck is booked, not discovered on the final invoice.
Gated communities, guard gates and HOA rules get asked about first. Boards go under the rails on pavers and on soft ground.
From the Mall at Wellington Green out to the horse farms along South Shore Boulevard and the subdivisions off Big Blue Trace. Written around this village's code, not a franchise template.
There is nothing to fill in. The work is quoted before any of it starts.
Rooms, truckloads, stalls or squares of roof. Name the material plainly, because tile and drywall weigh several times what furniture does.
Driveway, side yard or a pad by the barn. The container goes where the truck can back in straight, clear of wires, sprinkler heads and the septic field.
Delivery date, rental days, included tons and the rate per ton over that, said before booking. When the can is full, the haul gets scheduled.

Four things move the cost of a dumpster in Wellington. All four are settled before the truck leaves the yard.
Roll-off loads are weighed at the county scale and charged by the ton. A small can of roof tile can cost more to dump than a big can of furniture.
The county charges a mixed load at its highest category. Keeping manure, vegetation and construction debris in separate loads keeps each at its own rate.
Rentals are priced for a set number of days. A remodel that stalls waiting on an inspection runs into extra days at a daily rate.
Concrete and roofing cannot go to the transfer station in Royal Palm Beach, so those loads run to the landfill complex on Jog Road. Distance counts.
Most Wellington jobs look like one of these four. Each links to the page that covers it properly.
Thirty years of furniture, a garage full of boxes, a pool table nobody wants. Bulk day takes a few cubic yards a week, which empties a full house in about a season. A single roll-off sized from a room count, set on the driveway for a week, clears it in a weekend and leaves before the listing photos are due.
Cabinets, drywall, old tile and roofing are heavy and fill a container by weight long before they fill it by volume. Concrete roof tile is the heaviest of all. The right size depends on square footage and material, and the weight allowance matters more here than on any other job, because the county charges for every ton that crosses its scale.
Broken fence boards, worn stall mats, moldy hay, a collapsed run-in shed and a tack room full of torn blankets. That is construction and bulky debris, and it goes in a roll-off. Manure and soiled bedding are a different waste with different rules in Wellington, and mixing the two in one container causes trouble at the scale house.
After a named storm the county's debris crews make several passes, and the first can take weeks. A roll-off set early in the yard keeps wet drywall, carpet and broken screen enclosures off the swale and off the HOA's violation list. Fallen trees on private property are the owner's or the association's to clear, not the village's.

Wellington's construction and demolition debris page limits curbside collection of that debris to 2 cubic yards a week, requires loose drywall and floor tile to be containerized in units weighing under 50 pounds, and does not collect concrete, rock, fencing or shipping pallets. Residents with a construction or demolition project, or who expect a large amount of refuse, are told to rent a roll-off container from a hauler permitted in Wellington. The village's bulk collection page separately allows up to 4 cubic yards of minor home-repair debris and excess garbage on bulk day.
Why it matters: A remodel, a roof or an estate cleanout outgrows the curb in a day. Whether the hauler is permitted to work inside the village is the first thing to confirm, before size or price, because a container from anyone else invites a call from code compliance or the HOA.

The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County tipping fee schedule effective October 1, 2026 charges $95 per ton for construction debris and large vegetation, $42 for garbage and trash, $35 for yard vegetation and $35 for livestock waste, and states that dump trucks and open-top roll-off containers are generally charged the construction debris rate. Mixed loads are charged the higher category. The transfer stations, including Royal Palm Beach at 9743 Weisman Way, cannot accept concrete, block, tile, roofing material, construction lumber, fencing or dirt.
Why it matters: Every overage on a Wellington dumpster bill traces back to that scale. Heavy remodel debris and mixed loads cost the most, and a load of tile or roofing has to ride to the North County landfill complex on Jog Road rather than the nearest transfer station.
Wellington Land Development Code Section 30-153 sets minimum standards for storing and hauling livestock waste. Each livestock facility needs an approved storage area, and roll-off or dumpster containers holding manure must sit on a concrete or asphalt pad with a lip around it, at least 5 feet from any roof overhang, 50 feet from a public drainage conveyance or inlet, 100 feet from any water body and 150 feet from a potable well. Rules adopted by the Village Council in 2013 also require manure haulers to register with the village and keep records that Wellington staff can audit.
Why it matters: A barn cleanout is two jobs. Fencing, mats and shed debris belong in a roll-off; manure and soiled bedding belong in a compliant bin and with a registered hauler, delivered to the one county facility that takes livestock waste.

After Hurricane Irma, Wellington crews and contractors gathered and hauled away 168,602 cubic yards of vegetative debris between September 18 and October 17, 2017, and FEMA later agreed to reimburse the village $1,892,200 for collection, reduction and disposal. About half the village lives in gated communities, FEMA requires each association's approval before debris crews can enter, and delays in those approvals slowed the Irma cleanup.
Why it matters: Public storm cleanup clears roads first and reaches gated streets later, in several passes over weeks. A roll-off set in the yard takes the wet drywall, carpet and broken screen enclosures that a curb pile was never meant to hold.

Only a small amount. The village's construction and demolition page limits curbside collection of that kind of debris to 2 cubic yards a week, and loose drywall and floor tile have to be boxed or bagged in containers under 50 pounds each. Concrete, rock, fencing and shipping pallets are not collected at all. The same page tells residents with a construction or demolition project, or anyone expecting a large amount of refuse, to rent a roll-off from a hauler permitted in Wellington. That last part matters. A container from an operator without village permission can be the reason an association or a code officer asks for it to be removed, so confirm the hauler is permitted to work inside the village before the truck is booked.
In Palm Beach County it crosses a Solid Waste Authority scale or goes to an SWA-permitted private recycler. The authority's tipping fee schedule effective October 1, 2026 says open-top roll-off containers are generally charged at the construction debris and large vegetation rate, $95 a ton, against $42 a ton for household garbage, and a mixed load is charged at the higher category. The county's transfer stations, including the one on Weisman Way in Royal Palm Beach, cannot take concrete, roofing material, tile, construction lumber, fencing or dirt, so those loads ride to the North County landfill complex on Jog Road. That is why the weight allowance, and what you put in the can, both move the final bill.
Not mixed in with construction debris, and not just anywhere on the property. Wellington's Land Development Code, Section 30-153, sets the standards for storing and hauling livestock waste. A roll-off or dumpster used to hold manure must sit on a concrete or asphalt pad with a lip around it, at least 5 feet from any roof overhang, 50 feet from a public drainage inlet or conveyance, 100 feet from any water body and 150 feet from a potable well. The Solid Waste Authority takes livestock waste, meaning excrement plus the bedding and feed mixed with it, at its own rate of $35 a ton, but only at Renewable Energy Facility No. 2 on Jog Road. A barn cleanout that keeps the fence boards and mats apart from the bedding pays the right rate for each.
Get a roll-off sized to what is actually going in it, a rental period and weight allowance stated before delivery, and a container placed where the village and your association allow. If the debris is from a storm, separate vegetation from construction debris now and keep both piles off the road.
