Six boxes, about thirty seconds. You pick when to be called back, and that is when the phone rings.
Or call (728) 226-7144A cleanout is the lightest kind of dumpster job by weight and the bulkiest by volume. Sofas, mattresses, dressers, boxed books, patio furniture, a treadmill and the contents of a garage take up a lot of room without weighing much per cubic yard, so the container is chosen by space rather than tonnage. The usual mistakes are guessing small and paying for a second haul, or guessing huge and paying to rent air.
Wellington's curbside bulk collection is real and useful. On your bulk day the village's hauler takes up to 4 cubic yards of furniture, appliances, carpet cut into 4-foot lengths and wood cut under 6 feet, set out no more than 24 hours ahead. For one room that is plenty. For a house where a parent lived for thirty years, or a rental a tenant left full, 4 cubic yards a week means months of piles at the curb, and many associations have their own rules about how bulk is set out and for how long. A roll-off clears it in a weekend.
Nobody thinks in cubic yards, so the conversation starts with rooms. A one-car garage or a single bedroom set is a small container. A full garage plus a spare room is the middle size. An entire house with the furniture usually means one of the larger cans, and a hoarding situation or a property with a packed outbuilding may mean two hauls on purpose rather than one overfilled can. Describe what is in the house, room by room, and the size follows, with the weight allowance confirmed for the job.
Most cleanouts sit on the driveway. In Wellington that often means pavers, which crack under a loaded container's rails unless boards spread the load, and an apron that crosses the grass swale along the street. The driver needs a straight run to back in, overhead room clear of oak limbs and power lines, and enough length for the container plus the truck. In gated neighborhoods such as Olympia or Versailles, the guard gate needs to expect a large truck, and some associations want a form or a set number of days. Find that out first; it is the most common reason a delivery slips.
Paint, pool chemicals, gasoline, propane cylinders, motor oil and car batteries are household hazardous waste and go to the county's drop-off program, not into a roll-off. Tires carry their own rate at the county scale. Refrigerators and freezers need the doors off and the refrigerant dealt with before disposal. Electronics have a separate collection through the village and the county. Food waste should be bagged and kept out entirely, because a container sitting for a week in South Florida heat draws flies and raccoons.
Cleanouts usually run against a date: a closing, a lease end, an estate sale or a listing photographer. Book the container for the day the sorting is done, not the day it starts, so the rental days are spent filling rather than waiting. Keep anything headed to donation, consignment or family in a separate room until the container leaves, because once it goes in, it does not come back out. A container that is full on day three can be hauled early; a rental that runs long because the sorting did costs a daily rate.
Most household contents are light, but a few items are not. A slate pool table, a piano, a gun safe, a concrete birdbath or a roll of wet carpet from a leaking water heater can each add a surprising share of the weight allowance. Mention them when the container is sized. Heavy single pieces also need to go in first, against the front wall of the container, so the load stays balanced for the lift.
Price is set by the container size, the rental days and the tons included. Cleanouts rarely go over on weight unless one of those heavy items is in the mix. The pricing page lists published ranges from roll-off companies serving Palm Beach County, and the Solid Waste Authority rate behind them, so the number you hear can be checked against the market.

Call (728) 226-7144Wellington'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.
