Sweet Dumps Junk has been serving Hawthorne and the South Bay since 2021, and we built this business around one idea: make dumpster rental simple for everyone. Whether you are a homeowner clearing out a garage or a contractor running a busy job site, we show up on time, drop the right size container, and haul it away when you are done. We are family-owned and operated, and we take that seriously. Same-day and next-day delivery are available, flat-rate pricing keeps the math easy, and your first call comes with a free quote. Every size in stock. Every day available. Every budget welcome.
Scheduling a delivery is simple. Call us early in the day and we can often have a dumpster at your property before the afternoon. Next-day delivery is almost always available, and we will work around your schedule to get the container placed when you need it.
We handle placement carefully. For driveways, we use protective boards to keep your concrete and asphalt in good shape. If your project requires street placement in Hawthorne, we can walk you through what the city typically requires so there are no surprises on delivery day.
Give us a call and we'll handle the rest.
Size matters, and we'll help you get it right. Choosing the wrong container wastes money or leaves you short on space mid-project. The guide below is built to help homeowners, contractors, and property managers find the right fit before the dumpster hits the driveway.
The 10-yard is a solid choice for small cleanouts, single-room remodels, and attic or garage purges. It holds the equivalent of 4 pickup truck loads of debris, making it a practical option when the job is contained and the load is manageable.
Bathroom remodels, flooring removal, and moderate household junk removal are where the 12-yard earns its place. At 6 pickup truck loads of capacity, it gives you a little more room without jumping to a larger container you may not need.
Kitchen remodels, mid-size home renovations, and roofing tear-offs on smaller structures fit well in a 15-yard container. It handles 8 pickup truck loads and works for projects where the debris volume is real but not overwhelming.
Whole-home cleanouts, deck removals, and mid-size construction debris are a natural match for the 20-yard. With room for 9 pickup truck loads, it covers a wide range of residential and light commercial work without going oversized.
Large renovation projects, estate cleanouts, and commercial office or retail cleanouts often call for a 30-yard container. It holds 12 pickup truck loads and gives crews the space to work through a big job without stopping to swap containers.
The 40-yard is built for the biggest jobs on the site. Major demolition, warehouse cleanouts, and new construction debris all fit the profile. At 16 pickup truck loads of capacity, this is the container you want when the volume is serious and downtime is not an option.
We'll find the right fit for your job.
Tackling a big project? A roll-off dumpster keeps the work moving. Instead of making repeated trips to the transfer station or watching debris pile up on the curb, you load everything in one place and we take it from there.
We have built the kind of service customers pass along by word of mouth, and that means showing up prepared for whatever the project looks like. Call today and let's get started.
Your time matters, so we keep things simple. Our pricing is flat-rate. You get a clear number upfront, and that number does not change when the truck shows up. There are no surprise fees at pickup and no confusion about what you agreed to.
We offer free, no-obligation dumpster quotes on every call. The price you receive depends on the container size, the rental period, the type of debris, and the estimated weight. We walk through all of that with you before you commit to anything.
Rental periods are flexible. Most customers keep a dumpster for a few days, but we also accommodate longer timelines for bigger projects. If you need an extension, just call us and we will work it out.
The person who answers the phone often drives the roll-off truck. That means you are talking to someone who knows the equipment, knows the area, and can give you a straight answer without putting you on hold.
We make it that simple.
We know how projects can shift, and sometimes the debris you end up with is not exactly what you planned for. We sort and process loads responsibly, and where materials can be diverted from the landfill at the transfer station, we make that happen.
That said, there are materials we cannot accept in a roll-off container. California regulations restrict certain items, and accepting them creates problems for everyone involved. Common prohibited or restricted materials include:
If you are not sure whether something is allowed, ask when you call for a quote. We would rather answer that question upfront than have it slow down your project.
We are based in Hawthorne and work throughout the surrounding South Bay communities every day. Our service area includes Lawndale, Gardena, Inglewood, El Segundo, Torrance, and Lennox, along with other neighborhoods across this part of Los Angeles County.
If your job is nearby, chances are we can get a container to you quickly. Call us and we will confirm availability for your specific address.
A 12-yard or 15-yard container is usually the right call for a bathroom remodel. Kitchen renovations tend to generate more debris and often fit better in a 15-yard or 20-yard. When you call, describe the scope of the work and we will point you to the right size.
The 20-yard is one of our most versatile containers, holding roughly 9 pickup truck loads of debris. It handles whole-home cleanouts, larger remodeling projects, flooring removal, and roofing tear-offs on mid-size homes. Contractors and homeowners both reach for this size regularly because it covers a wide range of project types without going oversized.
The 40-yard is built for high-volume jobs: major demolition, warehouse cleanouts, large commercial projects, and new construction cleanup. It holds 16 pickup truck loads, so it is the right call when the debris volume is serious and you cannot afford to stop and swap containers mid-project.
Roofing debris is heavy, and shingle weight adds up fast. A single-layer tear-off on an average-sized home often fits in a 15-yard or 20-yard container. Multiple layers of shingles increase the weight significantly, and you may need to consider weight limits even if the volume looks manageable. Call us and describe the roof size and number of layers and we will help you find the right fit.
You can include some heavy material in a standard container, but weight limits apply to every rental. Dense materials like concrete, dirt, and brick reach those limits faster than mixed household debris. If your project is primarily heavy material, ask us about the lowboy option, which is rated for that kind of load.
The lowboy is a separate container variant designed for dense, heavy debris like concrete, brick, asphalt, dirt, and rock. It sits lower to the ground for easier loading and is rated for weight that standard containers are not built to handle. If your project is focused on heavy material rather than volume, the lowboy may be the better fit.
Loads that exceed the fill line cannot be transported safely or legally. If a container is overfilled when we arrive for pickup, we will contact you to remove the excess material before we can haul it. We explain fill line requirements when you book so there are no surprises on pickup day.
No. Tires are a prohibited item and cannot go in any of our containers. California has specific regulations around tire disposal, and we follow them. If you have tires to dispose of, we can point you toward the right disposal option when you call.
California law prohibits hazardous materials from being disposed of in roll-off containers because of the risk they pose at transfer stations and landfills. Items like chemicals, solvents, paint, batteries, and asbestos require separate handling through regulated disposal channels. We are upfront about this so you can plan accordingly before the container is delivered.
Dried latex paint in small quantities is generally acceptable. Liquid paint of any kind, including latex, is not. Oil-based paint is prohibited regardless of its state. If you have paint cans to dispose of, let us know when you call and we will help you figure out the right approach.
Yes. Yard waste, tree trimmings, brush, and landscaping debris are all acceptable in a standard roll-off container. If your load is primarily green debris, mention that when you call so we can confirm the right container size and discuss any applicable weight considerations.
We use protective boards during delivery to reduce the risk of surface damage on driveways. Stamped concrete, pavers, and sealcoated surfaces can be more vulnerable to pressure and weight, so let us know what you are working with when you call. We will discuss placement options and take extra care to protect the surface.
Call today. Schedule for tomorrow. Done by the weekend.

The table below covers every size we carry, from compact 10-yard containers for small cleanouts to 40-yard roll-offs built for major construction sites.

How do I know which dumpster size is right for my project?
The best starting point is describing your project to us when you call. As a general guide, small cleanouts and single-room jobs fit well in a 10 or 12-yard container, mid-size renovations usually call for a 15 or 20-yard, and large construction or multi-room demolition projects typically need a 30 or 40-yard. We ask a few quick questions about debris type and volume, and we will point you to the right size before you commit.
What is the fill line, and why does it matter?
Every container has a fill line marked near the top of the side wall. Debris must stay at or below that line before we can legally haul the container on public roads. Overfilled loads cannot be transported safely and will need to be leveled before pickup, which can delay your project. Load your heaviest and flattest items first, and keep an eye on that line as you fill.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing
We quote you a firm price before delivery, and that price covers everything through pickup. What we tell you on the phone is what you pay.
What items are not allowed in the dumpster?
We cannot accept hazardous materials, including paint, solvents, motor oil, batteries, asbestos, and chemicals of any kind. Tires, propane tanks, and electronics are also prohibited. If you are unsure whether a specific item is acceptable, call us before you load it and we will give you a straight answer.
Do I need a permit to place the dumpster on the street in Hawthorne?
If the container will sit on private property, such as your driveway, no permit is needed. If you need to place it on a public street or in a public right-of-way, a permit from the city is typically required. We can walk you through what that process looks like in Hawthorne when you call to schedule delivery.
How should I prepare my driveway for delivery?
Clear the drop area of vehicles, bikes, and any obstacles before we arrive. If you are concerned about surface damage, plywood boards placed under the container can help distribute the weight and protect concrete or pavers. The person who answers the phone often drives the roll-off truck, so when you call, ask us about the best placement approach for your specific driveway and we will give you honest advice.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery
We keep containers in stock and routes flexible so we can get a dumpster to you quickly. Call early and we will do our best to make same-day happen.
What is included in the flat-rate price?
Our flat-rate pricing covers delivery to your location, the standard rental period, pickup when you are done, and disposal fees up to the included weight allowance. There are no hidden fees added at pickup. If your debris is heavier than the allowance, we explain the overage rate clearly before you book so you can plan accordingly.
How does same-day or next-day delivery work?
For same-day delivery, call us as early in the day as possible and we will confirm availability for your location. Next-day delivery is almost always available with a quick call the day before. We do our best to work around your schedule, and we will give you a realistic delivery window when you book.
What happens if my dumpster fills up before the project is done?
Call us and we will arrange a swap-out. We haul away the full container and drop an empty one in its place. We will go over the pricing for the additional container during that call so there are no surprises when the bill comes.
Free No-Obligation Quotes
Every quote is free, and you are never pressured to book. Describe your project, get a price, and decide when you are ready.
Do I need to be home when the dumpster is delivered or picked up?
You do not need to be present as long as we have clear instructions on where to place the container and the area is accessible. It helps to discuss placement details when you book so the driver can position it correctly without needing to reach you. For pickup, just call us when you are ready and we will schedule it.
When is a lowboy the right choice instead of a standard container?
A lowboy is built for heavy, dense materials like concrete, dirt, asphalt, and brick. These materials weigh far more per cubic yard than household debris, and a standard container can reach its weight limit long before it looks full. If your project involves a significant amount of any of those materials, a lowboy is usually the smarter and more cost-effective choice. Call us and we will help you figure out which option fits your debris type.
