A local business, run plainly
Norman Dumpster Rental Group is a locally based dumpster rental company built around a straightforward idea: run the kind of outfit we'd want to hire ourselves — one flat rate, a driver who actually knows the address, and a phone that gets answered by someone who can do something about the problem. No specific founder or founding date could be independently confirmed for this page, so rather than invent one, we'd rather point you to the small team who actually runs the trucks and answers the phone below.
That's the whole mission: to make waste removal easier, cleaner and more straightforward for everyone in Norman. Upfront pricing, responsible disposal, and staying involved in the community we live and work in — that isn't marketing language here, it's how the company actually runs day to day.
Norman has real history behind it — the town was staked out during the Land Run of April 22, 1889, when the Unassigned Lands opened to settlement, and it grew up around the Santa Fe railroad depot that still anchors part of downtown today. The University of Oklahoma, founded here the following year in 1890, has shaped the city's growth and character ever since, and the Canadian River corridor and Lake Thunderbird spread out from the city in different directions. That mix of a walkable downtown core and rural county geography shapes a lot of what shows up on our schedule: renovation debris from an older Norman neighborhood one week, a long acreage cleanout out toward Slaughterville or Little Axe the next.
What we look like today
We own and manage our own dumpster fleet, handle scheduling and logistics in-house, and our own drivers deliver every container we set down. Our yard on 1202 N Flood Ave coordinates deliveries across Norman and the cities and towns spreading out across Cleveland County and just across the Canadian River into McClain County — from Moore and Noble closest by, out to Purcell and Newcastle across the river, and down toward Blanchard and Washington.
Our team knows this area — the tighter downtown and university-area blocks where a container has to sit with extra care, the long gravel driveways out past Slaughterville, and how a spring severe-weather system or a winter ice storm changes a delivery plan compared to a standard suburban lot. We know a container placed wrong on a narrow downtown block can mean a blocked lane, and we know exactly what a bad ice storm does to a delivery route across the county.
Our promise, in one line: the flat rate we quote on the phone is the rate on the invoice, and if we ever get that wrong, we make it right — not you.
Why we care about where it ends up
Hauling debris for a living gives you a fairly direct relationship with the consequences. We live here. So we treat Oklahoma's waste rules as more than paperwork — we sort out clean wood, metal, cardboard, concrete and yard debris where the volume justifies it, and we'd rather spend five minutes on the phone telling you where an old appliance should go than quietly let it become someone else's problem.
If you want the detail on that, the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality publishes statewide guidance on solid waste and hazardous materials disposal, and the EPA's construction and demolition materials guidance covers the C&D side specifically. Our own plain-English version is in this guide.
Norman climate and geography, handled
The terrain and the weather both change from one delivery to the next around here — a flat, walkable in-town block one stop, a long rural driveway the next. Oklahoma sits squarely in the country's most active severe-weather corridor — genuine spring tornado season, summer thunderstorms, and the occasional winter ice storm — and the National Weather Service's own Norman forecast office and the National Weather Center on the OU campus track it all from right here in town. All of that is a practical scheduling consideration our drivers plan routes and timing around rather than treating as an exception. On the geography side, the Canadian River forms the southern edge of Cleveland County and separates us from McClain County, and Lake Thunderbird sits just east of the city.
The rest of the year, steady renovation work in Norman's older neighborhoods, ongoing residential growth across the county and the usual seasonal cleanout work keep a predictable rhythm on our schedule alongside ordinary home cleanouts and remodels.

Our team
The people who answer the phone
Every call we take is handled by our own small team — not a rotating cast from a call center somewhere else. Here's exactly who you're talking to when you call Norman Dumpster Rental.

Gary Whitfield
General ManagerGary runs day-to-day operations out of the yard on 1202 N Flood Ave — scheduling, fleet upkeep, and making sure a flat rate quoted on the phone is the number that shows up on the invoice. If something goes sideways on a job, or a spring storm system rolls through the county and the routes need to change, he's usually the one who makes the call.

Colton Reyes
Lead DriverColton is behind the wheel more than anyone else on the team — from tight downtown blocks near the university to long rural driveways out past Slaughterville. He knows which streets and approaches need a careful setup before he ever gets the call.

Diane Osborn
Office ManagerDiane oversees the front office and makes sure every call gets a straight, accurate answer the first time — no bouncing between departments.

Sarah Miller
Administrative CoordinatorSarah handles scheduling paperwork, invoicing follow-up and the day-to-day admin that keeps deliveries running on time without customers ever having to think about it.

Brett Coleman
Operations ManagerBrett keeps the fleet, the yard and the driver schedule running together, matching each day's jobs to the right truck and making sure equipment is ready before it's needed.

Wyatt Dunlap
Delivery DriverWyatt runs a second truck alongside Colton, covering the rest of the county from Moore and Noble out to Purcell and Newcastle — usually the one you'll see on a same-day call.

What you can expect on delivery day
- A call or text ahead from your driver so you're not waiting around all day.
- Boards laid under the rails before the container touches your surface.
- Placement confirmed with you before it's set down, not after.
- A quick, honest rundown of what can and can't go in.
- The site left clean on pickup — we sweep up what falls.
Reviews
What customers tell us
Getting a dumpster into a tight retail lot without blocking customer parking wasn't a small ask. Their driver handled it without holding anything up, straight flat rate, no surprises.
Karen T.Norman — Small Commercial Cleanout
I almost booked a 30 yard for a full garage and attic clear-out. Whoever answered the phone talked me down to a 20 and was completely right -- we never came close to filling it.
The Diaz FamilyNoble — Garage & Attic Cleanout
A spring storm took down a big limb across our yard near the lake. They got a container out fast and didn't blink at how much brush and wood there was.

Answers
About Norman Dumpster Rental — common questions
Is Norman Dumpster Rental actually based in Norman?
Yes. Our yard and office are at 1202 N Flood Ave, Norman, OK 73069, and that's where our dispatch runs day to day. We're not an out-of-state call center — when you call (405) 870-4868 you reach our own Norman team.
How long have you been in business?
We don't lead with a specific founding date because what matters more is how we operate today: a locally based Norman business with a small team that answers the phone and gets a container on your driveway when we say we will. Ask us about our track record with a specific job type and we'll give you a straight answer.
Are your drivers licensed and insured?
Our fleet and drivers are fully licensed and insured to operate in Oklahoma. We're happy to provide a certificate of insurance for general contractors and property managers before a job starts — just ask when you call. It's a routine request for us, and we can usually turn it around the same day so it doesn't hold up your project schedule.
Do you work with contractors on ongoing jobs?
Constantly. Remodelers, roofers, property managers and builders working renovation projects around Norman, new-construction projects across Cleveland and McClain Counties, and general contractors handling storm and roofing cleanup make up a large share of our week. We can set up standing swap-out arrangements with a consistent driver, priority call windows during rough-weather stretches, and consolidated monthly invoicing. Call and ask for the commercial side, and we'll build a schedule that fits how your crews actually work.
What happens to the material after pickup?
Our driver weighs it, then sorts where the load makes sorting worthwhile — clean wood, scrap metal, cardboard, clean concrete and yard debris get diverted rather than landfilled. Everything else goes to a permitted disposal facility. Materials restricted from ordinary Oklahoma landfill disposal are separated out and routed to the right facility, per Oklahoma Dept. of Environmental Quality - Land Protection Division rules.
