Olo Hauling & Junk Removal has been serving Forest Lake and the surrounding communities of Chisago County since 2021. From day one, the goal was straightforward: show up on time, drop the right-sized container, charge a fair price, and haul everything away without drama. Whether you are clearing out a garage, tearing off a roof, or managing a full commercial demolition, we have the equipment and the experience to keep your project moving. Fast delivery. Fair pricing. Friendly service.
We started this business because Forest Lake needed a dumpster rental company that actually showed up when it said it would. Back in 2021, a lot of residents and contractors in the area were dealing with missed delivery windows, vague pricing, and customer service that felt distant and impersonal. We saw that gap and decided to fill it the right way.
This is a locally owned operation, and that means something here. When you call us, you reach a real person who lives and works in this area, someone who knows the roads, the neighborhoods, and what it takes to get a container placed safely on your property. We deliver, we haul, and we stand behind every rental. Every job we take on gets done right the first time, because our reputation in this community depends on it.
We've seen every kind of job -- and every kind of mess. Homeowners come to us for garage cleanouts, basement purges, attic hauls, and full estate cleanouts. We handle moving debris, foreclosure cleanouts, hoarding situations, and everything in between. No job is too small, and nothing is too overwhelming for our team to manage.
We take driveway placement seriously, and we treat your driveway the way we would treat our own. That means careful drop-off, proper positioning, and protection for your surface whenever possible. You should not have to worry about damage on top of an already demanding project.
Contractors and DIY remodelers count on us for roofing tear-offs, shingle disposal, concrete and heavy debris removal, drywall, flooring removal, and full kitchen or bathroom remodels. We also support larger demolition projects where volume and fast turnaround matter most.
We work with contractors on recurring jobs and multi-site accounts. If you manage several projects at once, we can coordinate deliveries and pickups to keep your schedule tight and your job sites clean. Reliable service on the first call and every call after that is how we earn long-term contractor relationships.
Some projects take a day, others take a week. Seasonal yard work, storm debris removal, land clearing, flood cleanup, and full property cleanouts all land on our schedule regularly. We have handled it all across Chisago County, and we know how to move quickly when weather or timing creates urgency.
Where materials allow, we sort and direct debris toward responsible disposal at the transfer station. Keeping waste out of landfills when there is a better option is something we take seriously. We'll walk you through what can and cannot go in the container so nothing gets held up at drop-off or pickup.
Some projects take a day, others take a week, and the right container size makes a real difference in both cases. We carry six standard roll-off sizes to match any job, from a single-room cleanout to a full commercial demolition. Not sure which one fits your project? Call us and we will help you figure it out before you commit to anything.
10-Yard Dumpster The 10-yard holds roughly 4 pickup-truck loads of debris. It is a solid choice for small cleanouts, single-room renovations, or minor yard work where you do not need a lot of capacity but still want a proper container on site.
12-Yard Dumpster At roughly 6 pickup-truck loads of debris, the 12-yard works well for mid-size garage or basement cleanouts and smaller roofing jobs. It fits in tighter spaces while still giving you meaningful capacity.
15-Yard Dumpster The 15-yard holds roughly 7 pickup-truck loads of debris. It is a popular fit for bathroom or kitchen remodels and moderate landscaping debris where the 12-yard might fall short but the 20-yard feels like more than you need.
20-Yard Dumpster Our most frequently rented size for homeowners, the 20-yard holds roughly 9 pickup-truck loads of debris. Whole-home cleanouts, flooring removal, and mid-size construction jobs all fit comfortably in this container.
30-Yard Dumpster The 30-yard holds roughly 12 pickup-truck loads of debris. It handles large renovation projects, full roofing tear-offs, and estate or foreclosure cleanouts where volume is the primary concern.
40-Yard Dumpster Our largest standard container holds roughly 16 pickup-truck loads of debris. It is reserved for major demolition work, commercial construction, and large land-clearing projects where anything smaller would require multiple pulls.
10-Yard Lowboy For dense, heavy debris like concrete, dirt, asphalt, or tile, we also offer a lowboy variant. This container is designed around weight capacity rather than volume, keeping loads legal and safe for transport. If your project involves breaking up a driveway or hauling fill material, the lowboy is worth asking about.
Renting a dumpster should not come with a bill that surprises you two weeks later. Every quote we give covers delivery, pickup, the standard weight allowance, and the rental period. You know the full number before we schedule anything, and we do not add charges after the fact for things that were never discussed.
No hidden fees. No surprises. Just honest pricing.
We offer free estimates, and we are happy to walk you through what affects the final cost, including weight overages, extended rental periods, or restricted materials. Rental periods are flexible. Short-term rentals work well for weekend projects, and long-term options are available for renovations or commercial jobs that stretch over several weeks. There are no contracts or commitments on a rental, so you are not locked into anything beyond the job itself. Pick up the phone and we'll handle the details.
Renting a dumpster shouldn't be complicated. You call, we confirm the size and placement, and we get the container to you. Same-day delivery is available when scheduling allows, and next-day delivery is our standard turnaround. We understand that project timelines do not always give you a week to plan ahead.
We are based in Forest Lake and serve the full Chisago County area, including Wyoming, Lindstrom, Chisago City, North Branch, Stacy, and Scandia. If you are nearby and need a container fast, we are the closest call you can make. We're here when you need us.
No matter the size of your project, local knowledge makes a difference. We know which roads have weight restrictions, which neighborhoods have tight driveway access, and when a street permit might be required for container placement. We can walk you through the permit process if you need a container on a public road, and we will help you choose the right spot to keep your project on schedule.
We are also straightforward about what we can and cannot haul. Hazardous materials, certain electronics, and specific chemical waste fall outside what roll-off containers can legally carry. We will tell you upfront what is restricted so there are no delays when the container arrives or when we come to pick it up. That kind of clear communication is part of how we do business in this community. We make it that simple.
Every container we deliver is inspected before it goes on your property. Clean equipment reflects how we feel about the work, and a well-maintained container also performs better, with doors that seal, walls that hold, and surfaces that do not leave residue on your driveway or job site. We take that seriously because the condition of our equipment says something about how we treat your project.
If something does not go right, we want to know about it. That might mean a delivery that missed the window, a container that was not placed where you needed it, or a pickup that ran late. We are not satisfied until the job is done to your standard, not just ours. We will make it right. That is not a formal policy written on a contract. It is just how we operate.
We have been operating in Forest Lake and across Chisago County since 2021. In that time we have worked with homeowners, contractors, property managers, and businesses on everything from small garage cleanouts to full commercial demolitions. That experience is built right here in this community.
We started because residents and contractors in the area needed a dumpster rental company that showed up on time, charged a fair price, and communicated clearly from start to finish. We saw a gap in reliable local service and decided to fill it the right way. Everything we do is built around being the kind of business we would want to hire ourselves.
We are locally owned and operated out of Forest Lake. When you call, you reach a real person who lives and works in this area and knows it well. We are personally accountable for every job we take on, and that local accountability is something we take seriously.
We answer calls during our operating hours, every day from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM. If you call during that window, you will reach someone who can give you a quote and confirm availability on the spot. For most requests, we can have a container to you the next day or sooner.
Our standard hours run every day from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM. If you have an urgent situation outside those hours, call us at (651) 299-6628 and leave a message. We do our best to respond quickly when timing is critical, and we will work with you to find a solution.
Material is taken to a transfer station where it is sorted and processed. Recyclable items are separated where possible, and we aim to divert what we can from the landfill. Responsible disposal is part of how we operate, not just an afterthought.
Yes. We are familiar with the roads, neighborhoods, and local requirements throughout Forest Lake and the surrounding area. If your container needs to be placed on a public street or right-of-way, we can walk you through the permit process so you are not caught off guard. Local knowledge is one of the practical advantages of working with a business rooted in this community.
Your flat-rate quote covers delivery, pickup, disposal, and your standard weight allowance. We do not add fees after the fact for things that were never discussed. If something could affect your final cost, such as a weight overage or extended rental period, we tell you upfront so you can plan accordingly.
We do. Contractors, remodelers, roofers, and property managers throughout Chisago County count on us for reliable delivery and pickup that fits their job schedules.

How do I know which dumpster size is right for my project?
The best way to size your rental is to think in terms of how much debris you expect to generate. A small cleanout or single-room remodel usually fits in a 10 or 12-yard container. A kitchen or bathroom renovation typically calls for a 15 or 20-yard. Large multi-room projects and construction jobs generally need a 30 or 40-yard. If you describe your project when you call, we will help you pick the right size so you are not paying for more container than you need or cramming debris into something too small.
What is the fill line and why does it matter?
Every roll-off container has a fill line marked near the top of the sidewalls. Debris must stay at or below that line before we can legally haul the container. Overfilled dumpsters create safety hazards on the road and cannot be transported. If your load is above the line when we arrive for pickup, we will ask you to remove the excess before we can haul. Loading evenly and keeping an eye on the fill line as you go is the easiest way to avoid that situation.
Transparent Flat-Rate Pricing
Your quote covers delivery, pickup, and your weight allowance with no hidden fees added later. You know the full price before we schedule anything.
What items are not accepted in a roll-off dumpster?
We accept most household junk, construction and demolition debris, yard waste, furniture, and renovation materials. We cannot accept hazardous materials, which include paint, solvents, chemicals, asbestos-containing materials, certain electronics, and similar items. These require handling through designated disposal programs. If you are not sure whether a specific item is allowed, call us before you load it. We would rather help you figure that out upfront than have a problem at pickup.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on the street in Forest Lake?
If the container is placed entirely on your private property, such as a driveway or lot, no permit is typically required. If you need to place it on a public street or right-of-way, a permit from the city may be necessary. Requirements can vary, so if street placement is your only option, we recommend checking with the City of Forest Lake before scheduling. We are happy to advise on placement options when you call.
How should I prepare my driveway for dumpster placement?
Most standard driveways handle a roll-off container without any issues. To protect your surface, we recommend placing plywood boards under the container feet if you have a newer or softer driveway. Let us know about any low-hanging branches, power lines, or tight turns when you call so the driver can plan the approach. We treat your driveway the way we would treat our own, and careful placement is part of every delivery we make.
Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery
We keep scheduling flexible so you can get a container on-site fast. Call early in the day for the best chance at same-day availability throughout the Forest Lake area.
What happens if my project runs longer than the original rental period?
Rental periods are flexible and we work with you when timelines shift. If you need more time, just call us before the scheduled pickup date and we will adjust. Any extension is discussed openly before it affects your bill. We do not add surprise fees after the fact; if there is a cost for additional days, we will tell you what it is before we make the change.
How does same-day or next-day delivery work?
We offer same-day and next-day delivery throughout Forest Lake and the surrounding Chisago County area based on availability. If you need a container the same day, calling early in the morning gives you the best chance of getting it scheduled. For most customers, next-day delivery is a reliable standard turnaround. When you call for a quote, we will confirm what is available and lock in a delivery window that works for your schedule.
What is included in the flat-rate price?
Your quoted price covers delivery to your location, the standard rental period, a built-in weight allowance, and pickup when you are done. There are no separate fuel surcharges, haul fees, or administrative charges added after the fact. If your project might push close to the weight limit, we will flag that when we quote you so you can plan accordingly. What we quote is what you pay, as long as the load stays within the agreed terms.
Free No-Obligation Quotes
Call us and we will give you a price on the spot. No waiting for a callback, no obligation to book, just a straight answer so you can make the right call for your project.
What counts as heavy debris and when should I consider a lowboy?
Heavy debris includes materials like concrete, brick, asphalt, dirt, gravel, and roofing shingles. These materials are dense enough that even a partially filled standard container can exceed legal weight limits for transport. A lowboy is built with a lower profile and a higher weight tolerance, making it the right choice when the material is heavy rather than bulky. If your project involves any of those materials, ask us about the lowboy when you call and we will help you determine whether it fits your needs.
Do I need to be home when the dumpster is delivered or picked up?
You do not need to be present as long as we have clear placement instructions. When you call to book, walk us through where you want the container, including driveway layout, gate access, and any obstacles the driver should know about. We note all of that and make sure the driver has the full picture before arriving. If anything changes before delivery, just call us and we will update the instructions.
