Masonville is a census-designated place in south-central Daviess County, about 8 miles southeast of Owensboro and 17 miles northwest of Hartford. US 231 runs through the center of the community, and the William H. Natcher Parkway, now signed I-165, forms its eastern border, though no exit serves Masonville itself. Its growth over a decade is striking: the population was 1,014 in 2010 and 2,129 in 2020, more than double, with a median age of just 32.8.

That growth shapes everything about the dumpster work here. The sections below explain the roads, the typical jobs, a worked example and the sizes that fit.

Why growth changes the work

In an older town, most dumpsters are for cleanouts and teardowns. In Masonville, a large share are for the opposite: building something. New homes need a container for drywall scraps, framing off-cuts, insulation, packaging and failed materials. Young families moving into those homes finish basements, add decks, lay sod and install fences. Many of the homes are far newer than the typical Owensboro house, which means fewer plaster demolitions and more drywall, vinyl and engineered lumber. Builders working several lots often want a recurring arrangement, and the long-term and recurring service page covers that.

Getting there on US 231

From Owensboro, US 231 heads south along New Hartford Road after the Wendell H. Ford Expressway interchange, then continues to Masonville. The I-165 terminus is at the next interchange along the expressway, which is how many drivers reach the area. Because the Parkway borders the community without an exit for it, trucks use US 231 and the cross streets. New subdivisions have wider streets and standard driveways, and our drivers generally have an easy time backing in. Some neighborhoods have homeowner association rules about how long a container may stay or whether it may sit on the street, so check yours first. The HOA rules page explains common restrictions.

Projects we see in Masonville

• New-construction debris. Drywall scraps, framing off-cuts, insulation and packaging. A 20-yard or 30-yard is common for a whole house.
• Landscaping and sod removal. New owners reshaping a yard. Soil and sod are heavy, so we size carefully.
• Basement and garage finishing. Carpet, pad, construction waste and extra packaging.
• Fence, deck and patio replacement. Treated lumber, posts and broken concrete.
• Moving and downsizing. Boxes, unwanted furniture and household overflow.
• Contractor jobs. Roofers, remodelers and landscapers working in the area. See construction dumpsters.

A sample Masonville job

A family has just moved into a house on a large lot and wants to lay sod, remove a failed fence and build a deck. The sod and soil come first, then fence posts, then lumber scraps. We would suggest a 10-yard for the soil and sod so the weight stays under control and a second 10-yard or a 15-yard for the fence and deck waste. Together that is a two-container job, which is often cheaper and safer than one oversized container loaded with dirt. Prices are $250 to $350 for each 10-yard and $300 to $450 for a 15-yard.

Three jobs, three sizes

Finishing a new house. A new home that is nearly done still produces waste: spare drywall, packaging from windows and appliances, wire and pipe cut-offs, and the last of the framing scraps. A 20-yard at $400 to $550 is the standard choice. For a larger house where the builder is still working, a 30-yard at $500 to $650 is more realistic.

A new homeowner’s first spring. Sod rolls, rock, edging, a failed fence and extra moving boxes. A 10-yard for the soil and a 15-yard for the rest is a sensible pairing. Keep soil and rock separate from the lighter material so you stay inside the weight allowance.

A builder with five active lots. Instead of renting a container per lot, the builder arranges a recurring swap schedule, with a full container picked up and replaced on a regular cycle. That keeps job sites tidy and avoids fines from HOAs. Ask about it on the recurring rental page.

Materials in new construction

New houses generate a different mix than old ones: oriented-strand board, engineered lumber, vinyl siding off-cuts, drywall, insulation and a lot of cardboard and plastic wrap. These are bulky but usually light, so a large container fills before it reaches the weight allowance. The exception is concrete, brick and stone from driveways and patios, which are heavy, and tile and roofing shingles, which add up quickly. For those, use a smaller container or a dedicated heavy-debris dumpster.

Planning around construction schedules

Order a container for the start of drywall, not for the foundation. Foundation work produces little waste, and a container sitting idle for weeks is a rental you are paying for. Framing off-cuts accumulate mostly in the framing phase, drywall scraps and packaging in the finishing phase, and landscaping waste at the end. If you are a homeowner acting as your own contractor, ask us how a rental period is counted so you do not pay for more days than necessary.

Do you take shingles from new roofs?

Yes. Asphalt shingles from a roof tear-off in Masonville are accepted, and they are heavy, so a 20-yard ($400–$550) is common for a typical roof. The roof tear-off guide explains sizes and weights; ask for the weight limit before delivery.

Can a dumpster sit on a new driveway?

It can, but new concrete may not be fully cured. Ask your contractor, and let us know so we can place boards or choose a different spot.

Sizes and costs

New builds usually need a 20-yard ($400 to $550) or a 30-yard ($500 to $650). Landscaping and small remodels fit a 10-yard ($250 to $350). The pricing guide explains how rental terms and weight affect the final bill, and the renovation debris guide helps contractors plan.

Questions from Masonville customers

Do I need HOA approval?

If your neighborhood has an HOA, check its rules before booking. Many allow a container on the driveway for a limited time.

Is Masonville close enough for same-day delivery?

It is one of our easier deliveries at about 8 miles, so same-day service is sometimes possible when a truck is free. See same-day delivery.

Can a builder set up service for several lots?

Yes. Builders can arrange repeat swaps, so a full container is exchanged for an empty one as the job proceeds.

Is soil allowed?

Clean soil is allowed, but it is heavy. Tell us how much so we can size the container for the weight.
