Dumpster Rental in Idalou, TX

Roll-off containers for Idalou homes and jobsites

Idalou sits northeast of Lubbock on US-62/82 in the middle of some of the best farm ground on the South Plains, and it is cotton and grape country in equal measure now — there are vineyards and a working winery within a few miles of town and gins on the edge of it. From the yard we go up through town to the Loop and out east, and it is a thirty to thirty-five minute run. The town itself is small and tidy: a compact grid of mid-century brick and frame houses on wide lots, a school district that draws families out from Lubbock, and newer places built out on acreage along the farm roads. The work here is a mix. In town it is roofs after a hail run, garage and shed cleanouts and the occasional whole-house clear when a place changes hands. Outside town it is equipment sheds, old barns, shop buildings and the kind of accumulation that only happens on a working place.

What we know about working in Idalou

October through December this town runs on the harvest and we work around it. Module trucks and cotton haulers use US-62/82 and the farm roads hard, gin yards are busy day and night, and a container delivery scheduled for the middle of that is a delivery that waits behind a module truck. We plan ag deliveries early in the day through the fall. On rural addresses we ask about the septic field and the well before we set, because a loaded roll-off is heavy and neither the lateral lines nor a well head is somewhere we want steel sitting — flag them and we will place well clear. Burn bans are common enough that brush from a shelterbelt or an orchard trim usually has to go in the container rather than on a pile.

Getting a truck to you

Loop 289 around the east side and out US-62/82, or FM 400 north if the address sits off the highway. Thirty to thirty-five minutes from the yard. Through cotton harvest we schedule Idalou drops early, because module trucks own that highway from October into December and a truck stuck behind one is a truck not on your job. On the farm roads we ask about gate width and the turnaround before we commit.

Routes we run: US-62/82, FM 400, FM 1729, Loop 289.

Permits, streets and placement in Idalou

On a private driveway in Idalou you generally do not need a municipal permit. Placement in the public street or right-of-way is a different matter and normally requires approval — from the borough or township where the road is locally maintained, or from TxDOT where it is a state route. Every municipality in Lubbock County runs its own form and its own lead time, and older streets here often have no off-street parking at all, so plan the permit before you plan the delivery. It is a ten-minute call that saves a week.

Our permit and placement guide walks through the whole process, and TCEQ publishes the Covered Device Recycling Act rules and the other statewide disposal restrictions that apply to every load we haul out of Idalou. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Lubbock County.
