Action Waste Services started in 2010 when our founder, a lifelong Albany resident and former construction foreman, saw a gap in the local market. Too many contractors and homeowners were dealing with unreliable service, hidden fees, and dumpsters that showed up days late; or not at all. He knew Albany deserved better.
What began as a small operation with just three trucks has grown into one of the most trusted waste management providers in Albany County. We’ve stayed family-owned and locally operated because we believe that personal accountability matters. When you call us, you’re talking to people who live and work right here in New York, who know the neighborhoods, the regulations, and what it takes to get debris removed quickly and responsibly.
Our core values haven’t changed since day one: reliability, transparency, and exceptional customer service. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will, charging exactly what we quoted, and treating every customer’s project; big or small; with the same level of care and professionalism.
Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of Albany homeowners, contractors, and businesses complete their projects on time and on budget. From estate cleanouts to major commercial demolitions, we’ve seen it all; and we’re ready to help you next.
No two projects are the same, which is why we offer a full range of dumpster sizes and rental options to match your specific needs. Whether you’re clearing out a single room or demolishing an entire building, we have the right solution.
10-Yard Dumpster Rental Perfect for small cleanouts, garage organization, or minor bathroom renovations. This compact size fits easily in tight driveways and can handle up to 3-4 pickup truck loads of debris. Great for spring cleaning projects or clearing out an attic.
10-Yard Lowboy Dumpster Our lowboy model sits closer to the ground, making it ideal for heavy materials like dirt, concrete, or roofing shingles. The low sidewalls also make it easier to load by hand without needing to lift debris over high walls.
15-Yard Dumpster Rental A popular choice for medium-sized projects like flooring removal, basement cleanouts, or deck tear-downs. This size strikes the perfect balance between capacity and footprint, holding roughly 5-6 pickup truck loads.
20-Yard Dumpster Rental Our most requested size; ideal for kitchen remodels, whole-room renovations, or estate cleanouts. With room for about 8 pickup truck loads, this dumpster handles most residential and light commercial projects with ease.
30-Yard Dumpster Rental Built for larger renovation projects, whole-home cleanouts, and new construction debris. This commercial-grade dumpster can hold approximately 12 pickup truck loads, making it perfect for contractors managing multi-room remodels or demolition work.
40-Yard Dumpster Rental Our largest option, designed for major commercial projects, warehouse cleanouts, and large-scale demolitions. With the capacity of about 16 pickup truck loads, this is the go-to choice for serious debris removal.

Not sure which dumpster fits your project? We're happy to help! Describe your project, and we'll recommend the perfect size. When in doubt, it's usually better to go one size larger to avoid overage fees. Our transparent pricing means no surprises.
Every dumpster has a clearly marked fill line. Never load debris past this line; it's unsafe and illegal to transport. Each size includes a specific tonnage allowance. Exceed it, and standard overage fees apply, calculated by the ton.
Cannot accept: Paint, chemicals, asbestos, batteries, tires, appliances with Freon, electronics, propane tanks, medical waste, or any hazardous materials. We'll provide a complete prohibited items list when you book. Violating this may result in fines or special disposal fees.
If the dumpster sits on private property (your driveway or yard), no permit is required. If it must go on the street or public right-of-way, contact your local municipality for a permit. We can guide you through this process and answer questions.
Choose a flat, stable surface with easy access for our delivery truck. Clear overhead obstructions like power lines or tree branches (minimum 23' clearance). We provide free plywood boards to protect driveways and surfaces from damage.
Our rental periods are flexible and clearly explained upfront. Standard rentals include a set number of days. Need more time? Extensions are easy; just call us before your rental expires. Daily, weekly, and monthly rates available to fit any timeline.
We offer same-day delivery when you order early, plus weekend and after-hours options for your convenience. Schedule your pickup in advance or call when you're ready. We pride ourselves on fast and reliable delivery; always on time.
Our drivers are experienced professionals who treat your property with care. We use plywood protection boards at no charge. Ensure the delivery area is clear of vehicles, equipment, and debris. Notify us of any sprinkler systems or underground utilities in the placement area.
Load heavy items first and distribute weight evenly across the container floor. Break down large items to maximize space. Don't compact debris by driving over it or using heavy equipment; this voids warranties and creates safety hazards.
We partner with local recycling facilities to divert materials from landfills whenever possible. Construction debris, metals, cardboard, and certain materials are sorted and recycled as part of our eco-friendly disposal practices. Doing our part for the environment.
We accept all major credit cards, checks, and offer invoicing for commercial accounts and contractors. Payment is typically due upon delivery or pickup, depending on your agreement. Ask about volume discounts for multiple rentals or long-term projects.
Our friendly team is here to help! Whether you're a homeowner renting for the first time or a contractor managing multiple sites, we'll walk you through every step. Call us today for personalized guidance and a free, no-obligation quote.
