Dump Trailer Rentals · a straight comparison
For most jobs from Davenport out across Central Florida it comes down to three picks: a 14-yard dump trailer for a single-car garage or a small remodel, a 16-yard for a two-car garage or a whole move-out, and no trailer at all if you'd rather the crew lift it. Both trailers come with 3 days and 2 tons. Shingles and tile push weight, not volume, so check that row first.

| Time you spend | A weekend, or three evenings | The same three days with more trips to the tailgate | A walkthrough and a phone call |
Pick the 14 when the pile is one room's worth. A single-car garage, the cabinets and drywall from a small kitchen, or the boards off a modest deck all land inside it with room to walk. It's $350 for 3 days and 2 tons, and it tows behind a pickup, so it backs into a normal driveway. If you're loading alone over a weekend, this is the trailer that doesn't feel like a second job.
Go to the 16 when you're guessing. Two-car garages, a whole apartment or house move-out, and the first sweep through a house being emptied for sale all outgrow the 14 before you're done. The 16 is $400, same 3 days and 2 tons, same spot in the driveway. Fifty dollars more is cheaper than watching a second trailer pull up because the first one topped out. Rob will say so on the phone if your photos look borderline.
Skip the rental when the stuff is already sitting there and you don't want to carry it. A crew-loaded half trailer is $350 and a full is $700, all in, and you're done in a morning instead of three days. It also wins when the job includes things you can't lift safely: a fridge, a sleeper sofa, a stack of wet drywall.
Kitchen remodel: cabinets, countertops, a sink and the drywall behind them fill a 14-yard on a small galley and a 16-yard on a big open kitchen. Tile rides but carries an extra dump fee and it's heavy, so ask Rob before you load a whole floor.
Roof tear-off: shingles hit 2 tons before they hit the rail. Pick the size by the roof, then plan on the weight line: 2 tons included, $70 a ton past that, settled on the card Rob keeps on file. A small ranch fits the 14. A typical three-bedroom belongs in the 16 and may still run two loads.
Garage: one car, 14. Two cars, 16. Paint cans never go in either trailer; Polk residents can drop them free at the county site in Winter Haven.
Yard cleanup: brush, palm fronds and storm debris are light and bulky, so it's all volume. A 14 handles a normal lot. A 16 handles a corner lot or a fence line that came down. Dirt never rides.
Whole house: start with a 16 and expect a swap. Rob hauls the full one and brings it back empty, or the crew loads it and you never touch a thing.
One worked example
Against the criteria above, with the review evidence, verbatim.
Here's how Big Rob's runs it. Both trailers are dump trailers, so the size question is about yards and weight, not whether a roll-off truck can reach your house. Rob drops the trailer himself, often the same day, and hauls it when you call. Both prices are published on his booking page: $350 for the 14, $400 for the 16.
If you get the size wrong, it's not a disaster. Call when it's full and he'll tip it and bring it back, or send the crew to finish the pile. The reviews below cover both ends: a homeowner who rented and loaded, and a contractor who rented and got help.
I rented a dump trailer from these fine folks a few weeks ago to deal with a junk clean out at my family's home in Pine Hills. The owner was the one who dropped the trailer, somehow backing it through a narrow gate, down a heavily wooded…

Dude. Rob and Roy are awesome! I had an… emergency 😂 I showed up to a jobsite and realized we would have way more refuse than I expected. Rob was able to get me a dumpster out same-day AND helped me load it. Super nice. On time. Knows what he's doing. Didn't give me a hard time when I filled the pa…

Questions
Usually, if you're on the fence. The extra two yards cost less than a second drop, and the trailer takes up the same spot in the driveway. Pick the 14 only when you can see the whole pile and it's clearly one room's worth.
Figure six or seven pickup beds for the 14 and seven or eight for the 16. That's a rough guide; a pickup bed holds about two to two and a half yards depending on how you stack it.
Both trailers include 2 tons. Past that it's $70 a ton, settled on the card Rob keeps on file. Shingles get there fast. Tile rides but carries an extra dump fee. Concrete and dirt don't go in the trailers at all; Rob quotes those through partner dump trucks.
Call before noon and it's usually gone today. Or text a photo of the pile and Rob sends back a flat quote.
