Dumpster Rental in Gilmer, TX
Flat-rate roll-off containers delivered across Gilmer — the Upshur County seat and Yamboree town. Same phone number, same drivers, same boards under the rails as everywhere else we serve.
Serving Gilmer from our Longview yard
Gilmer is the seat of Upshur County, twenty-five minutes north-west of us, and it is best known regionally for the East Texas Yamboree — a sweet potato festival that has run since the 1930s and still takes over the courthouse square every October.
What we know about working in Gilmer
The work here follows the usual county-seat pattern: a historic core with compact lots and older buildings, conventional residential around it, and a wide rural county beyond. The older property is dense-material work and gets sized by weight.
Upshur County is heavily wooded, and the rural drives reflect it — long, often gravel, and with real tree cover overhead. Both matter to us. Tell us about low branches when you book, because raising the truck bed to roll a container off needs roughly twenty-two feet of clear height and there is no way around that.
Quick facts. Gilmer sits in Upshur County, covering ZIP codes 75644, 75645. Population is roughly around 5,000. Typical drive time from our yard is 25 minutes north-west.

The container that suits your job depends on the material far more than the address. Here is the full comparison.
| Size | Dimensions (L×W×H) | Holds about | Weight allowance | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 12′ × 8′ × 3.5′ | 3–4 pickup loads | 1–2 tons | Bathroom remodels, small cleanouts, concrete |
| 15 Yard | 16′ × 8′ × 4′ | 5–6 pickup loads | 2–3 tons | Garage & porch clearouts, single-room renos |
| 20 Yard | 22′ × 8′ × 4.5′ | 7–8 pickup loads | 3–4 tons | Roof tear-offs, kitchen renos, big cleanouts |
| 30 Yard | 22′ × 8′ × 6′ | 10–12 pickup loads | 4–5 tons | New builds, additions, whole-home cleanouts |
Heavy material — concrete, brick, ceramic tile, plaster, wet vegetation — needs a smaller container than the volume suggests. Bulky light material like furniture, mattresses and drywall needs a bigger one. The sizing guide explains why.
How delivery works in Gilmer
- 1
Call and describe the job
Tell us what you're clearing and where you are. Shanice Odom or a dispatcher will size it with you in about three minutes — no forms, no waiting on an email quote.
- 2
Lock in a flat rate
You get one number that covers delivery, the rental period, pickup, and disposal up to your weight allowance. We tell you the overage rate up front so nothing lands on your invoice later.
- 3
We deliver and protect
Our driver calls ahead, lays boards under the rails on driveways and pavers, and sets the can exactly where you want it — doors facing the work.
- 4
Fill it, we haul it
Load to the fill line, call when you're done, and we pull it. Most loads run to the Pine Hill Landfill on the edge of town, and every load leaves here tarped — that is state law, not a preference.

Dumpster rental in Gilmer — your questions
Low branches over a wooded drive — will that stop you?
It can. We need about twenty-two feet of clear height to raise the truck bed. Mention it when you book and we will plan where the container goes, usually further out where the canopy opens.
Do you serve rural Upshur County?
Yes. Acreage, outbuildings and property clearances out this way are regular work for us at around twenty-five minutes.
Can you deliver to the courthouse square?
Yes, though downtown placement sometimes means the street rather than a lot, which needs a permit from the City of Gilmer. Call us and we will help you work out which it is.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster to Gilmer?
Gilmer is 25 minutes north-west from our yard on East Loop 281. Same-day delivery is frequently available if you call before mid-morning, and next-day is close to guaranteed. We call ahead before the driver arrives.
What sizes do you bring to Gilmer?
All four — 10, 15, 20 and 30 yard. Which one suits depends far more on what you are throwing away than on where you live. Describe the material on the phone and we will size it properly.
