Delivering to Chaires is routine for this crew, roughly 22 minutes out of our Tallahassee yard on a normal day. Chaires is a rural unincorporated community east of downtown Tallahassee, part of the same Red Hills farm-and-forest country as Miccosukee and Bradfordville, with Leon County as its only local government layer.
Chaires sits east, in Leon County. From our yard in Tallahassee that is a short run, so Chaires customers get the same flat rate and the same delivery windows as anyone in Tallahassee itself. Be it a tear-off, a house clearance or a framing job, nothing about the process changes: you call, we size it, we quote it flat, we protect the drive.
What Chaires customers actually get from a local hauler
Chaires' larger rural lots and working land mean our jobs out here skew toward bigger property cleanouts and outbuilding demo alongside routine home debris.
- Local dispatch. You speak to someone in Tallahassee who can picture Chaires's streets, not a call center reading a script.
- Flat-rate quotes. Delivery, the rental window, the tonnage allowance and pickup in a single number.
- No marked-up aprons. Boards spread the load on every Chaires delivery instead of concentrating it on four small points.
- Honest sizing. If a 15 yard will do the job, we will not sell you a 30.
- Licensed and insured in Florida. Certificates on request for GCs, property managers and HOA boards.

- Lake Lafayette area to the west
Neighborhoods and districts
- Rural properties along Chaires Cross Road and Buck Lake Road

Picking the right box for a job in Chaires
Most Chaires jobs land on a 15 or 20 yard box. Heavy material is the exception — concrete, brick, tile and wet soil hit the road weight limit long before they fill a container, so those go in a 10 yard every time. Here is the full range:
| Size | Dimensions | Holds roughly | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Yard | 14 ft × 7.5 ft × 3.5 ft | About 3 pickup-truck loads | Small cleanouts, roofing shingles, concrete and dirt, garage purge |
| 15 Yard | 16 ft × 7.5 ft × 4.5 ft | About 4–5 pickup-truck loads | Kitchen or bath remodel, flooring projects, roofing tear-off, yard work |
| 20 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 4.5 ft | About 6 pickup-truck loads | Whole-house cleanout, larger remodel, roofing up to about 50 squares, landscaping |
| 30 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 6 ft | About 9 pickup-truck loads | Whole-house projects, commercial cleanouts, new-build construction |
| 40 Yard | 22 ft × 7.5 ft × 8 ft | About 12 pickup-truck loads | Major demolition, large construction sites, commercial fit-outs |
Still unsure? Read our sizing guide, or just call (850) 900-8684 and describe the job. Two minutes on the phone beats paying for a second haul.
Permits, placement and local rules in Chaires
Placement on your own driveway, yard or lot is the simple path and never involves a permit. If the container has to sit on a public street or sidewalk in Chaires, expect to need a right-of-way permit from the local authority, and allow lead time for it. Chaires is unincorporated Leon County — there is no separate town government here at all, since Tallahassee is the only incorporated municipality anywhere in the county. That makes Leon County itself (not a town office) the only local authority for a public-way placement question, entirely independent of the City of Tallahassee’s own Traffic Engineering Section permit process, which only applies inside Tallahassee’s own city limits. Florida state law applies on top no matter which town or unincorporated area you are in — Florida Statute 403.7192 makes it illegal for any resident or business in the state to discard nickel-cadmium or small sealed lead-acid rechargeable batteries in the trash, full stop, and those have to be recycled or sent to a permitted facility instead. Waste tires never go in a dumpster either — Leon County's own Solid Waste Management Facility takes those for free. Paint, fuel, oil and chemicals need a different disposal route too, and it is worth confirming any county- or town-specific detail directly with the relevant office rather than assuming every part of the service area handles it identically. There is more on each in our local permit guide and our Florida disposal rules guide.

FAQs
Dumpster rental in Chaires — your questions
Do you deliver dumpsters to Chaires?
We do — Chaires is a regular run east of downtown. It's unincorporated Leon County, so the county itself handles any local right-of-way question, not a separate town government.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster in Chaires?
Our yard is on 1533 S Bronough St in Tallahassee, roughly 22 minutes from Chaires, so most orders placed before noon on a weekday go out the same day. Anything booked a day ahead we can usually schedule to a morning or afternoon window that suits you. Call (850) 900-8684 and we will tell you honestly what is achievable today rather than promising a slot we cannot hold. See our same-day dumpster service for how it works.
Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Chaires?
If the container sits entirely on your own driveway, yard or private lot, no permit is needed — that covers the large majority of our Chaires deliveries. Placement on the public way (street or sidewalk) is what can trigger one, and the office that handles it depends on where Chaires sits: Chaires is unincorporated Leon County — there is no separate town government here at all, since Tallahassee is the only incorporated municipality anywhere in the county. That makes Leon County itself (not a town office) the only local authority for a public-way placement question, entirely independent of the City of Tallahassee’s own Traffic Engineering Section permit process, which only applies inside Tallahassee’s own city limits. Confirm the current fee and process directly with whichever office applies, and allow lead time rather than expecting same-day approval. Our Tallahassee permit guide walks through Tallahassee's own process in detail as a point of reference.
What can I put in a dumpster in Chaires?
General household junk, furniture, construction and demolition debris, roofing, flooring, drywall and clean wood are all fine. What is barred comes down to a real Florida statute rather than a company policy: Florida Statute 403.7192 makes it illegal for anyone — resident or business — to discard nickel-cadmium or small sealed lead-acid rechargeable batteries, or products containing them, in the trash. That covers the battery packs inside cordless power tools, some emergency lighting and a range of consumer electronics near Chaires; they have to be recycled or sent to a permitted facility instead of going in the container. Waste tires never go in a dumpster either — Leon County accepts those separately, free of charge. Asbestos never goes in a container. Our Florida prohibited-items guide covers the full list.
Will the dumpster damage my driveway in Chaires?
It shouldn't, as long as it's set down the right way. We put boards under the rails and rollers on every Chaires delivery so the weight spreads across a wide footprint instead of four points digging in. Older concrete and asphalt around here often has some hairline cracking or an uneven corner already, and we flag that with you before the container comes off the truck rather than leaving it to guesswork afterward. Full detail on how we protect a surface is in our placement guide.
Do you deliver dumpsters to Chaires during severe weather season?
Absolutely. Chaires sees the same real weather pattern as the rest of the Tallahassee area — the hazard that actually shapes our scheduling is hurricane season, not a windy spring day. Hurricane Hermine tracked directly through Leon County in September 2016 and remains the clearest local proof of that: about 80% of Tallahassee lost power, 145,000 customers were out countywide, and it was the first hurricane to hit the city directly since Hurricane Kate in 1985. We just need a cleared, level, safely accessible spot for the container, and we hold deliveries during an active storm warning rather than push through one. More in our severe weather delivery guide.
