Frequently Asked Questions

  • What size dumpster do I need for a home remodel?

    A 15-yard dumpster works well for single-room remodels, while a 30-yard is better for whole-home projects or multi-room renovations. At M&B Contracting, we help Altus homeowners choose based on the scope and materials involved, including drywall, flooring, and fixtures.
  • How long can I keep a roll-off dumpster on site?

    M&B Contracting offers both short-term and long-term rental options to match your project timeline. Whether you need a dumpster for a weekend cleanout or a months-long construction job in Southwest Oklahoma, rental periods are flexible and can adjust as schedules change.
  • Can a dumpster be delivered to rural properties in Oklahoma?

    Yes, M&B Contracting delivers to farms, ranches, and remote sites throughout Jackson County and surrounding areas. The team is experienced with back roads and hard-to-access locations common across Altus, Hollis, Frederick, Mangum, Hobart, and Snyder.
  • What materials can go in a construction dumpster?

    Construction dumpsters handle wood, concrete, metal, drywall, roofing materials, and general job-site debris. At M&B Contracting, containers are built for heavy loads typical on residential and commercial builds across Southwest Oklahoma, keeping sites cleaner and safer.
  • What's the difference between a 15-yard and 30-yard dumpster?

    A 15-yard dumpster is ideal for smaller cleanouts, single-room projects, or light debris, while a 30-yard handles larger construction jobs, whole-home cleanouts, or heavier materials. M&B Contracting helps customers in Altus choose the right size based on volume and weight.
  • Why use a dedicated scrap metal container?

    Dedicated scrap metal containers keep metal separate for efficient recycling and prevent mixing with general waste. M&B Contracting offers durable containers designed for heavy metal loads, ideal for farms, shops, and construction sites across Southwest Oklahoma.
  • How does site preparation prevent drainage problems?

    Proper grading and leveling during site prep direct water away from structures and prevent pooling or erosion. At M&B Contracting, site preparation includes assessing regional land conditions and drainage needs to ensure stable, build-ready ground for homes, shops, and commercial projects.
  • Do gravel driveways hold up in Oklahoma weather?

    Yes, gravel driveways are durable and well-suited to Oklahoma's heat, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles when properly installed. M&B Contracting builds gravel roads and driveways designed to withstand heavy traffic and equipment common on rural properties throughout Southwest Oklahoma.
  • When should you schedule excavation for a new build?

    Excavation should happen after site layout and permits are finalized but before any foundation or utility work begins. M&B Contracting provides trenching, grading, and clearing timed to match construction schedules across Altus and surrounding communities.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make with dumpster rentals?

    Underestimating the size needed often leads to overfilled containers or extra trips. At M&B Contracting, we recommend discussing your project scope upfront so you get the right dumpster size and avoid delays or added costs on your Southwest Oklahoma job site.
