Franchise Deep Dive: Dumpster Dudez Franchise Costs, Fees, Profit and Data

In 2015, Dumpster Dudez was started with one truck, 10 dumpsters and a dream. Dustin Kiene, CEO and president, was running a successful hauling business at the time but wanted something more. After perfecting the business model, he decided to help other like-minded entrepreneurs succeed by offering franchise opportunities in 2019. Today, there are 15 locations throughout seven states and the brand has big plans for growth.

A minimum of 0.5 acres is required to store the dumpsters and trucks, and at least two acres are recommended for further storage support as Dumpster Dudez continues to grow. The storage location must also have crushed stone, paved or concrete foundation.

One of the benefits of Dumpster Dudez is the ability to deliver bins — ranging from 10 to 25 yards — in locations that most other companies simply cannot service. The conveniently sized compact bins can fit down narrow streets or that tight driveway where a standard 30-yard or 40-yard bin delivered on a larger truck would not. Franchisees can service both residential and commercial customers.

The primary concerns for franchisees is the availability and reliability of the supply chain. In the case of Dumpster Dudez, this issue has been addressed by the company's meticulous planning and strategic partnerships. By recognizing the significance of a robust supply chain, Dumpster Dudez ensures that franchisees have a steady and consistent stream of essential resources such as trucks and bins.

The total investment to open a Dumpster Dudez franchise studio is $88,700 to $128,500.
