Roll-off dumpster rental across the Southside

Reilly & Sons Dumpster Rental runs out of a yard on 912 W Little Creek Rd, minutes from Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. The company started after seeing the same pattern too often — missed drop-offs, confusing pricing, or poor communication right when someone needed help the most. So we do the opposite. One number that covers the job. A delivery window we actually hit. A person on the phone rather than a form on a website.

Norfolk sits at a genuinely unusual point on the map worth knowing: Virginia's independent-city system means Norfolk has no overlying county government at all, and neither does a single one of its neighbors — Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News and Poquoson are all their own independent cities too. So we group by the real, everyday Hampton Roads terms locals actually use instead: the Southside — Norfolk and its own neighborhoods, plus Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Portsmouth, all south of the harbor — and the Peninsula — Hampton, Newport News and Poquoson, reached across the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel or the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge-Tunnel. Norfolk itself is a genuine mix — the working Navy waterfront and older, walkable neighborhoods like Ghent and Larchmont near the harbor, alongside quieter, more suburban stretches farther out — so what changes neighborhood to neighborhood is access, density and distance from the water, not one uniform shape. A tight lot behind an older Ghent building on a narrow street is a different job than an open new-construction lot out in Chesapeake, and real coastal Virginia weather — Atlantic hurricane season on one end and the everyday reality of tidal, nuisance flooding along Norfolk's low-lying streets on the other — brings down limbs and pushes water into different places in different ways. Knowing which is which before the truck arrives is most of the job.

Whatever you are clearing — flood or storm debris, a family home, a new-construction site or a storm-damaged roof — the container exists for it. Call (757) 290-7723 and describe it in a sentence.

How it works

Four steps, one phone call

Most bookings take under four minutes.

  1. 1

    Call and tell us the job

    One short conversation. We ask what you are clearing, where the box needs to sit and when you need it, and how much room the driveway or lot gives us. No forms, no waiting on an email.

  2. 2

    We size it and quote it flat

    You get one number covering delivery, the rental period, pickup, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance. If a smaller box does the job we will say so.

  3. 3

    Delivered where you want it

    The driver walks the spot with you and sets the container square on the driveway, lot or jobsite. If the surface needs protection we will say so before we set it down.

  4. 4

    Load at your own pace

    Keep it level with the top rail and keep the banned items out. Need a swap mid-job or an early pickup? One call and we are on it.

  5. 5

    We haul it and sort it right

    Clean concrete, metal and yard debris get routed for recovery rather than landfilled where we can. You get your driveway or lot back the way you left it.

Local knowledge

Fifteen communities, and we know the streets

There is a difference between covering an area and knowing it. We know which Ghent and Larchmont streets narrow down to one lane, which Southside cities have their own strict right-of-way permit process, what base housing turnover looks like near Little Creek, and what harbor-crossing traffic on the HRBT or the MMMBT is doing on a given afternoon.

Our service area page lists every community we cover, grouped by Southside or Peninsula geography, and how close each one is to the yard, and each has its own page covering access, housing stock and the local rules we run into.

Why us

Why people call us back

  • You reach the yard, not a call center

    The phone rings at 912 W Little Creek Rd near Little Creek, minutes from Naval Station Norfolk and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. Whoever picks up knows the difference between a tight Ghent lot on a narrow street and a wide-open new-construction site out in Virginia Beach or Chesapeake.

  • One flat price, said out loud

    Delivery, the rental period, pickup, fuel, disposal and a stated tonnage allowance in a single number. If your load looks like it will go over, we say so before the truck leaves the yard.

  • Same-day in Norfolk, honest timing across the harbor

    Call early and most orders in Norfolk and its own neighborhoods go out the same day. Southside neighbors like Virginia Beach and Chesapeake are usually same- or next-day; Peninsula cities across the harbor are more often next-day — honestly, and in advance.

  • Driveway and lot aware

    Boards go under the rails on every driveway as standard, and the driver will tell you before delivery if a tight in-town Ghent or Larchmont lot, a base-housing turnover, or a new-construction site needs a different approach.

  • The right box, not the biggest

    Weight fills a container long before volume does. If a 10 yard is the honest answer for your concrete load, that is what we will quote you.

  • Built for real Norfolk-area weather, both seasons

    Coastal Virginia sits in a real storm path on both ends of the year — Atlantic hurricane season from June through November, and recurring tidal/nuisance flooding along Norfolk's low-lying waterfront on the other, among the most-studied in the country. We size jobs for both, from a downed-limb cleanup to a water-damage gut-out.

Credentials

What you are actually hiring

Straightforward, checkable facts about who you would be working with — no invented star ratings or reviews.

  • Licensed and insured

    Fully insured for general liability and commercial auto. A certificate of insurance goes to your property manager, general contractor or builder on request, usually the same day.

  • Several years, locally run

    Reilly & Sons is locally owned and still runs out of one yard. The number on this page reaches the Norfolk yard, not an answering service in another state.

  • All 15 area communities

    Close to the yard in Norfolk and its own neighborhoods — Ghent, Larchmont, Colonial Place, Park Place, Berkley, Ocean View, Lafayette-Winona and Willoughby — plus the Southside cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Portsmouth, and the Peninsula cities of Hampton, Newport News and Poquoson. We tell you honestly which runs are same-day and which are next-day before you book, not after.

  • Sorted for recovery, not the landfill

    Clean concrete, scrap metal and yard debris get routed for recovery rather than buried wherever the local facilities allow it — good practice, not a state mandate here.

Service area

Norfolk area communities we deliver to

We run roll-off containers out of our Little Creek Road yard to all fifteen communities we cover on the Southside and across the harbor — Norfolk itself and the neighborhoods of Ghent, Larchmont, Colonial Place, Park Place, Berkley, Ocean View, Lafayette-Winona and Willoughby, plus the Southside cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Portsmouth, and the Peninsula cities of Hampton, Newport News and Poquoson. Norfolk and its own neighborhoods are usually same-day; Southside neighbors are typically same- or next-day, and Peninsula cities across the harbor are more often next-day. If your address is not listed, call anyway. We likely still get there.

Answers

Dumpster rental in Norfolk — your questions

How much does it cost to rent a dumpster in Norfolk?

Most jobs in this part of Virginia run roughly $250 to $800, depending on the container size, how dense the debris is, how long you keep it and how far out the delivery address is — every job is genuinely different, so that is a general market range, not a quote. What matters more is how the price is built. Ours is a flat rate covering delivery, the rental period, pickup and disposal, so the figure you are quoted is the figure you pay. Call with a short description of the job and you will get a firm number on that call, not a callback.

How quickly can you deliver a dumpster in Norfolk?

Near the yard in Norfolk and its own neighborhoods — Ghent and Larchmont included — a morning call is often a same-day delivery. Southside neighbors like Virginia Beach and Chesapeake usually run same- or next-day. Peninsula cities across the harbor — Hampton, Newport News and Poquoson — more often run next-day rather than same-day. Jobsite swap-outs get priority over new deliveries, because a full container stops a crew working.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Norfolk?

It depends on where the container sits. On your own driveway, curb apron or job site — private property — no permit is required. If the container has to sit in the public right-of-way, a street or sidewalk, you may need a temporary permit from the City of Norfolk, and we can help walk you through that process. Our permit guide covers the pattern across the rest of the service area.

What can't go in a dumpster in Virginia?

Paint, solvents, oils, tires, batteries, hazardous chemicals, gas cylinders, propane tanks and medical waste are never allowed in a roll-off. That list applies everywhere we deliver — it is the material that gets pulled and charged back if it turns up in a load.

Will a dumpster damage my driveway?

A loaded roll-off is heavy, and boards go under the rails as standard on every placement to spread that weight out. Tell us if the surface is anything other than a standard concrete or asphalt driveway — a narrow Ghent side street, a shared driveway, or a newer pour — and we will talk through the right approach before the truck arrives.

Which dumpster size do I need?

Volume and weight are two separate limits and the material decides which one stops you first. Household clear-outs and construction offcuts run out of space, so size up. Concrete, brick, tile and landscape rock run out of weight with the box barely a third full, so size down and fill it part way. The 20 yard suits most whole-project jobs; the 10 yard is the right answer for anything heavy.

Do you deliver across all 15 communities, not just Norfolk itself?

Yes, all 15 communities we cover on the Southside and across the harbor — Norfolk itself and the neighborhoods of Ghent, Larchmont, Colonial Place, Park Place, Berkley, Ocean View, Lafayette-Winona and Willoughby, plus the Southside cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Portsmouth, and the Peninsula cities of Hampton, Newport News and Poquoson. Distance is real, so a Peninsula run is scheduled next-day rather than same-day and is not priced identically to a Norfolk delivery. We tell you both things on the phone before anything is booked.

When is the best time of year to book?

Coastal Virginia has two genuinely busy stretches worth planning around: Atlantic hurricane season, roughly June through November, when a tropical system can bring down trees and power lines and push tidal flooding up onto low-lying streets with very little notice, and the everyday reality of nuisance flooding along Norfolk's waterfront neighborhoods, which can show up on an ordinary high tide with no storm at all. The spring-through-fall building and renovation season, plus the steady flow of military families moving on PCS orders, runs on top of both. Outside those windows, contractors are more available and containers are easier to schedule. If your job has to run during a busy window, book as far ahead as you can.
