The first step is the easiest — pick up the phone and call us at (740) 253-8389. When you call, you'll talk to a real local person who knows Chillicothe and the Scioto Valley, not a national call center. We'll ask you a few quick questions about your project to make sure we set you up with exactly the right container at the right price.

Here's what to have ready when you call:

• What type of project you're doing — cleanout, renovation, roofing, demo, yard work, etc.
• How many rooms or how much space you're clearing out
• What types of materials you'll be disposing of
• Your delivery address in Chillicothe or surrounding area
• When you need the dumpster delivered

Based on what you tell us about your project, we'll recommend the right size roll-off dumpster from our available fleet. You don't have to guess — we do this every day and we know from experience exactly which size fits which type of project in the Chillicothe area.

Once you've confirmed the size and price, we'll schedule your delivery. Scioto Valley Dumpsters offers same-day and next-day delivery throughout Chillicothe, Ross County, and all surrounding Scioto Valley communities. As a locally owned and operated company, we can move much faster than national chains with rigid scheduling systems.

Before your dumpster arrives, here's how to prep your drop spot:

• ✓
  Clear the area. Make sure the delivery zone is free of vehicles, equipment, and debris so our driver can position the container exactly where you need it.
• ✓
  Check overhead clearance. Make sure there are no low-hanging branches, power lines, or overhangs above the drop spot that could interfere with delivery.
• ✓
  Use plywood to protect your driveway. If you have a newer driveway surface, lay down boards under where the dumpster feet will sit to distribute the weight and prevent any surface marks.
• ✓
  Choose private property over the street. Placing your dumpster on your own property means no permit required in most Ohio municipalities. Street placement may require a local permit.

Once your roll-off dumpster is in place, it's all yours for the duration of your rental period. Load it at your own pace — morning, evening, weekend, whenever works for your schedule. Our flexible rental periods mean you're never rushing to finish before a crew shows up to haul it away.

Load it smart to maximize space:

• Flat items on the bottom — doors, furniture, plywood, mattresses
• Break down large items before tossing them in
• Fill gaps with bags and small loose debris
• Heavy materials like concrete and tile go on the bottom
• Never load above the fill line — it's a safety requirement for transport

What you CAN put in: Household junk, furniture, appliances, mattresses, construction debris, drywall, lumber, flooring, roofing shingles, concrete, brick, yard waste, and general cleanout materials.

What you CANNOT put in: Hazardous liquids, paint, batteries, tires, propane tanks, asbestos, and medical waste. If you're unsure about an item, call us before you toss it.

When your project is complete and your dumpster is loaded, give us a call at (740) 253-8389 to schedule pickup. We'll come out, hook the container back onto our truck, and haul everything away to a licensed disposal facility. You don't need to be home — just make sure the dumpster is accessible and not blocked in by vehicles.

Need a little more time? No problem. Call us before your rental period ends and we'll extend it. We'd rather give you the time you need than have you feel rushed to finish your project.
