Local knowledge
Getting our bearings in Floodwood
Knowing a city properly is the difference between covering it and showing up with the right box.
- County solid waste area — St. Louis County manages garbage and recycling everywhere in the county except Duluth and the surrounding WLSSD area.
- Land use permits — “The City of Floodwood requires land use permits for all work”; the fee schedule is on the City's Zoning page. City Hall: 218-476-2751.
- Highways — the zoning ordinance refers to U.S. Highway 2 and State Highway 73.
- Before a tear-down — St. Louis County says unacceptable wastes, including asbestos, thermostats and appliances, come out first.
- County HHW — permanent facilities at the Regional Landfill in Virginia and the Hibbing Transfer Station, plus summer mobile collections.
What comes out of Floodwood properties
Farm and estate clean-outs in 30s, roofing in 10s and 20s, remodels in 20s, garage clean-outs and flooring in 15s, and a 10 or 15 for concrete and dirt — heavy material usually only goes in the smaller boxes. St. Louis County notes treated wood is not accepted as demolition material and goes in the garbage. Minnesota keeps these out of the trash and out of landfills: tires (Minn. Stat. 115A.904); major appliances such as fridges, washers, dryers, stoves, water heaters and air conditioners (115A.9561); TVs and monitors with picture tubes (115A.9565); lead-acid car batteries (115A.915); motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze and other vehicle fluids (115A.916); yard waste mixed with trash (115A.931); mercury items such as thermostats and fluorescent tubes (115A.932); and rechargeable batteries and devices with built-in rechargeables (115A.9157). Tell us if a load is yard waste, and before you load an appliance. No paint, solvents, oils, hazardous chemicals, gas cylinders, propane tanks, batteries, medical waste or asbestos.

Sizes
Choosing a container size in Floodwood
Weight is what usually decides the size, not how much room the pile takes up.
| Size | Dimensions | Capacity | Weight included | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard Dumpster | about 14 ft long × 7.5 ft wide × 3.5 ft high | about 3 pickup truck loads | 1–2 tons | Small kitchen and bathroom remodels, roofing tear-offs, garage and single-room cleanouts, and concrete, tile, asphalt and brick within the weight limit. |

Permits, placement and who may haul in Floodwood
Who may haul — the rule that matters: “Anyone who collects or transports Solid Waste within the St. Louis County Solid Waste Management Area must have a license from the county” (St. Louis County Ordinance No. 45, Art. VII § 2). The County's 2026 hauler application says vehicles hauling mixed solid waste need a licence, while vehicles used solely to haul cardboard, recycling or demolition material “do not need to be licensed at this time.” Licensed haulers may not collect from homes before 6 a.m. or after 9 p.m. (§ 2.2.4). Floodwood's own code isn't online, so this page states no City rule. We're licensed and insured.
Placement: we found no City street or right-of-way permit, so this page claims none either way. A driveway is the simple spot — give us clear placement instructions and you don't need to be home. Ask City Hall, 218-476-2751, before using a street, and about the land use permit for the work itself.
State highways: MnDOT has no permit for setting a private container on trunk-highway right-of-way, and Minnesota law makes it a misdemeanor to obstruct a highway or place any object within its limits (Minn. Stat. 160.2715). Beside a state highway the container goes on private property, never in the right-of-way. We check the exact address.
Covered loads: Minnesota bars driving a load that can drop, sift, leak or blow out (Minn. Stat. 169.81, subd. 5). Keep debris level with the top rim — overfilled containers can't be legally transported.
Remodel or tear-down: Minnesota requires appliances, tires, mercury items, batteries, oils, electronics and household hazardous waste to be taken out before renovation or demolition starts (Minn. R. 7035.0805). Demolition debris means concrete, brick, asphalt, untreated wood, masonry, glass and similar building parts — never asbestos (Minn. R. 7035.0300, subp. 30). Asbestos work needs an MDH-licensed contractor, who notifies the Minnesota Department of Health at least 5 calendar days ahead (Minn. Stat. 326.74); a homeowner working in their own single-family home is exempt from the licence (326.72). For many demolitions — commercial buildings and larger residential buildings — the MPCA must be notified 10 working days ahead. Asbestos never goes in our containers; tell us if you find any.

How it works
Booking a dumpster in Floodwood
Booking a container here takes one phone call and about five minutes.
Step 1: Call and tell us the job
One short conversation. We ask the address, what you are clearing — a cleanout, a renovation, a roof, a yard, a job site — roughly how much there is, and how much room the driveway or lot gives us.
Step 2: We size it and quote it flat
You get a flat-rate quote whenever possible that covers delivery, pickup, disposal, the standard rental period and an included weight allowance. If a smaller box does the job we will say so. If it is concrete, shingles or dirt, we say up front that weight decides the size.
Step 3: Delivered where you want it
The driver sets the container on the driveway, lot or job site where you asked, on a flat, solid surface rather than the lawn. Often same-day or next-day, when scheduling allows. You do not need to be home.
Step 4: Load it at your pace
Keep it level with or below the top rim and keep the problem items out — paint and solvents, oil and fuel, chemicals, tires, batteries, propane tanks and gas cylinders, medical waste, asbestos, TVs and computers, and fridges, washers, stoves and other major appliances. Need more time or a swap mid-job? One call.
Step 5: We haul it and dispose of it right
The load is secured for the road and goes to a facility permitted to take it, with metal, concrete and yard debris diverted from landfills whenever possible. You get your driveway back the way you left it.

A two-minute call gets the size right, a straight answer on price and a delivery window.
