Most orders in Lakewood can be arranged through a single point of contact, with support available for residential renovations, commercial construction, and cleanouts of every scale. ZTERS works with local hauler partners across Ocean County, so customers can expect transparent pricing, prompt scheduling, and reliable on-time delivery whether the job is a tight downtown driveway or a loading dock in the Lakewood Industrial Park.
Lakewood Township is home to roughly 142,000 residents and one of the fastest-growing housing markets in New Jersey, so demand for dependable waste removal runs high year-round.

Types of Dumpsters for Rent in Lakewood
ZTERS offers 9 dumpster sizes for Lakewood projects, from small cleanouts to large construction jobs.
- Dedicated account manager
- Best-in-class customer service
- No hidden fees — transparent flat pricing
ZTERS' smallest standard. A go-to for heavy debris (dirt, brick, concrete, shingles) and small mixed Lakewood cleanouts that fit a single driveway.
Holds about 3 pickup truck loads or 50–70 trash bags. Footprint roughly one standard parking space. Heavy-debris configs can carry up to 10 tons.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits small bath remodels and garage cleanouts.
Our most-requested size for Lakewood home renos. Low side walls let DIYers walk debris in and toss over the side.
Holds 8–10 pickup truck loads or about 120 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-house decluttering, mid-size garage and attic cleanouts, mid-size landscaping, and roof replacements on smaller homes.
Largest standard roll-off. New construction, major demolition, full home siding replacements, and commercial-scale cleanouts in the Lakewood Industrial Park.
Holds about 12 pickup truck loads or 230–250 trash bags. The 8-ft walls make rear-door loading essential for bulky items.
Best for new construction, major demos, full kitchen-and-bath gut renos, and large commercial cleanouts. Note: dense debris (concrete, shingles) needs a heavy-debris bin instead.
Heavy-debris workhorse. Built for dirt, brick, concrete, and roof-tear-off shingles where weight matters more than volume.
Holds 4–5 pickup truck loads or 60–85 trash bags. Generous weight allowance — heavy materials hit the weight cap long before they fill the volume.
Best for dirt and soil removal, brick and masonry, concrete demo, and asphalt shingles. Also fits single-room renos and basement cleanouts.
Bridges heavy-debris bins and mid-size cleanouts. Good fit for Lakewood multi-room remodels and garage cleanouts with bulky items.
Holds about 4.5 pickup truck loads or 80–100 trash bags. Roughly the volume of 15 standard washing machines.
Best for multi-room remodels, flooring removal, garage cleanouts, light demo, larger landscaping, and deck builds. Heavy materials need a smaller heavy-debris bin.
Taller profile (6 ft walls) is ideal for bulky debris. Common for larger Lakewood home renovations and partial roof replacements.
Holds about 6 pickup truck loads or 80+ trash bags. The 6-ft walls mean heavy or bulky items load best through the rear swing door.
Best for larger home renovations, partial roof replacements, mid-sized construction, and hybrid residential and light-commercial jobs.
More vertical capacity than the 20-yard with a similar footprint. Built for office cleanouts, commercial remodels, and bulky debris.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads. A meaningful step up from the 20-yard for projects that have more bulk than weight.
Best for residential renovations with bulky debris, office and commercial remodels, and large estate cleanouts.
Built for large Lakewood jobs — full home renovations, estate cleanups, active construction sites, and commercial mixed debris.
Holds about 9 pickup truck loads or 170–190 trash bags. Footprint roughly two parking spaces end-to-end.
Best for whole-house cleanouts, large home demos, active construction, and commercial mixed debris. Note: cannot accept dirt, concrete, brick, or shingles.
Niche size between 30 and 40 yard — when 30 will overflow but you don't want to pay for a 40 you won't fill.
Holds about 10–11 pickup truck loads or 200+ trash bags.
Best for large home cleanouts where furniture and appliance volume drives the need, mid-to-large construction, and whole-house remodels with significant bulky debris.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, no. If the dumpster sits entirely on private property, such as a driveway, yard, or private parking lot, Lakewood Township does not require a permit. This covers the majority of residential rentals, including kitchen remodels, garage cleanouts, and roof tear-offs.
A permit is required when any portion of the container occupies public space, including the street, curb, or sidewalk. In that situation the Lakewood Township Department of Public Works treats it as work within the public right-of-way and requires authorization in advance, since Township ordinance prohibits obstructing streets and sidewalks without approval. As a general best practice, an approved street placement should be marked with cones, reflective tape, or barricades and kept clear of fire hydrants, storm drains, driveways, intersections, and bus stops.
The Lakewood Township Department of Public Works is located at One America Avenue, Lakewood, NJ 08701 and can be reached at (732) 905-3405. Fees and required documents are set by the Township and can change, so confirm current requirements with the office or let ZTERS coordinate it for you. If your project's placement is unclear, contact your ZTERS representative before scheduling and we can confirm what is required.
Lakewood dumpster costs can be impacted by dumpster size, local landfill and transfer-station fees, fuel prices, and other factors. Lakewood dumpster costs range from $452 for a 10 yard dumpster up to $758 for a 40 yard dumpster.
Each dumpster size includes a maximum allowable tonnage and 10-day rental period. If you need the dumpster longer, you can extend your rental period for an additional fee. Delivery costs average about $160 depending on distance, dumpster size, and current fuel prices. Here is an estimate of ZTERS Lakewood dumpster prices by size:
| Dumpster Size | Low Estimate | High Estimate | Rental Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | $452 | $668 | 10 days |
| 20 Yard | $379 | $571 | 10 days |
| 30 Yard | $402 | $598 | 10 days |
| 40 Yard | $552 | $758 | 10 days |
For most renters, the most efficient approach is to have your dumpster company handle the permit. If your placement requires authorization because the bin will sit on a street, curb, or sidewalk, ZTERS can coordinate the right-of-way request, include the cost in your rental, and align approval with your delivery date.
Property owners who prefer to file directly apply through the Lakewood Township Department of Public Works, which administers road-opening and right-of-way permits for work in the public way. The office is located at One America Avenue, Lakewood, NJ 08701, and can be reached at (732) 905-3405. Because the Township sets its own fees and required documents and these can change, confirm the current application steps, deposit, and any insurance or restoration requirements directly with the Public Works office before you submit. Plan for a few business days of processing, and apply before scheduling delivery so the approval is in hand when the container arrives.
If you are unsure which permit applies to your project, contact your ZTERS representative before scheduling. A brief consultation can confirm the requirements and, in many cases, allow the permit to be handled at booking.
Yes, with a permit. Any time a roll-off occupies public space, including the street, curb, or sidewalk, Lakewood Township requires advance authorization through the Department of Public Works under the Township's streets and sidewalks ordinance. The requirement exists so the container does not impede traffic, emergency vehicles, or pedestrian access. Submit the request before you schedule delivery, since approval can take a few business days.
As a general best practice, an approved street placement should be marked with reflective tape, cones, or barricades for visibility, kept clear of intersections so driver sight lines are preserved, and positioned away from fire hydrants, storm drains, driveways, and bus stops. Because many Lakewood lots are narrow with limited frontage, most renters keep the dumpster on the driveway whenever possible to avoid the right-of-way process entirely. For specifics on street placement, deposits, or restoration requirements, the Lakewood Township Department of Public Works can be reached at (732) 905-3405 or at One America Avenue, Lakewood, NJ 08701.
For most renters, the most efficient option is to have ZTERS or your hauler coordinate the permit at booking. The cost is included in the rental, and approval is timed to delivery.
ZTERS provides service throughout Lakewood Township and the surrounding Ocean County area. Coverage includes the downtown core along Clifton Avenue and the U.S. Route 9 corridor, the Lakewood Industrial Park and the Cedarbridge Avenue commercial district, and residential areas around Madison Avenue, Pine Park, Westgate, the Albert and Chestnut sections, and the Leisure Village and Leisure Knoll communities. We also deliver to job sites near Georgian Court University and throughout the township's newer housing developments.
If your address falls within a Lakewood or broader Ocean County zip code, ZTERS can almost certainly arrange delivery — including the neighboring communities of Brick, Howell, Jackson, Toms River, and Lakehurst. For sites at the edge of the township or in newly developed subdivisions, a brief call with a ZTERS representative will confirm coverage and pricing.
Delivery timing depends on when the order is placed and the current capacity of local haulers. Same-day delivery is generally possible when an order is placed early in the morning and the customer is flexible on size. Next-day delivery is more typical for orders placed later in the day. For routine planning, 2 to 3 business days is the safer estimate. During peak remodeling and roofing seasons (spring through early fall) and after major coastal storms come through Ocean County, 3 to 5 days of lead time is more realistic given high demand.
The general guideline is to schedule as far in advance as possible. Booking three to four days ahead provides the most flexibility on size, time window, and placement. Same-day requests are subject to remaining route capacity, which may require accepting a different size, paying a rush fee, or rescheduling for the following day. ZTERS accommodates last-minute requests whenever feasible but cannot guarantee them. For unexpected situations such as storm cleanup or an accelerated contractor schedule, contact ZTERS directly and we will find the fastest available option.
The right size depends on the scope of the project and the density of the debris. A single bathroom remodel typically fits in a 10 or 15 yard dumpster, with the 10 yard preferred when significant tile or concrete backer board is being removed, since dense materials hit the weight cap before they fill the bin. Master bathroom gut renovations and multi-bathroom jobs generally require a 20 yard. A full kitchen remodel, including cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, drywall, and appliances, also typically calls for a 20 yard. Multi-room renovations and additions move up to a 25 or 30 yard, and whole-house renovations or major demolitions fall in the 30 to 40 yard range. For roof tear-offs, a 20 yard handles roughly 2,500 to 3,000 square feet of single-layer asphalt shingles, which covers most Lakewood homes. Larger homes, multiple shingle layers, or architectural shingles usually require a 30 yard, while a smaller cape or ranch around 1,500 square feet with a single layer can be served by a 10 yard heavy-debris bin.
A few Lakewood-specific factors are worth considering. Many of the township's older sections and dense new subdivisions have tight lot lines and short driveways, so confirm the bin's footprint before delivery and keep street placement to a minimum to avoid the right-of-way process. Heavy materials common to local tear-offs — old asphalt shingles, plaster, tile — hit the weight cap quickly, so a smaller heavy-debris bin often beats a larger general-debris one for those loads. Because Ocean County sees real rainfall and the occasional coastal storm, keep debris below the rim of the bin to prevent standing water from adding weight and pushing you over the limit. When choosing between two sizes, sizing up is usually the better value: the price difference between a 20 and 30 yard is typically far smaller than the cost of a second haul, and renovation projects often generate more debris than initially expected.
