Mobile Dumpster Rental Franchise Opportunities

Own a profitable territory in a fast-growing industry. Proven model, proven equipment, proven brand — ready to launch in 60 to 90 days.

Most dumpster brands sell the same heavy roll-off model that has been around for 50 years. MobileDumps is built around a fundamentally different product for a fundamentally different customer — and it is what makes our franchise opportunity unlike anything else in this industry.

Why Now

Mobile Trailers Are Taking Over the Driveway-Dumpster Market

Roll-offs are everywhere — and they are losing favor with homeowners and small contractors. Driveway-safe mobile trailers hit the same job, charge a flat rate, and skip the permits, scratched concrete, and weight surprises. MobileDumps owns this category.

Our Story

From One Trailer to 65+ Cities

2018
The Concept Begins

Cam Morrison launches MobileDumps in Richmond, Virginia with a single truck and one trailer — spotting the gap between junk-removal services and traditional roll-off dumpsters.

2019
National Vision

The brand pivots from local-only to national. New branding rolls out and the first wave of refined mobile trailers hits the road.

2020
Three Cities

MobileDumps expands to three cities — proving the driveway-safe model can scale beyond Richmond.

2022
Franchising Launches

Original Richmond franchisees come on board. MobileDumps formally opens the network to outside operators.

2023
11 Territories

Network grows to 11 active territories. Featured in Franchising News.

Today
65+ Cities Nationwide

MobileDumps now operates in 65+ cities through independent franchisees. Every territory is locally owned, locally operated, and backed by national supply, software, and marketing.

Why People Build a MobileDumps Franchise

MobileDumps was built by an operator, for operators. We launched the first trailer in Richmond in 2018, expanded to three cities by 2020, and opened the franchise network in 2022. Today, MobileDumps territories are open in 65+ cities across the country.
Every franchisee gets the same playbook we used: a proven product, a built-out marketing engine, a national booking system, and direct support from our corporate team. You bring the local hustle — we bring the rest.

Modest Start-Up Costs

Total franchise investment runs $145K to $215K. That breaks down to a $30K franchise fee, $100K to $125K for equipment, and $15K to $60K in working capital. About a third of what a roll-off operator spends on a single heavy truck.

Proven Business Model

Refined since 2018 across 65+ cities. We hand you the supplier list, the pricing structure, the SOPs, the marketing playbook, and the dispatch software so you do not invent anything from scratch.

Industry-Best Tech & Marketing

Booking software, SEO/Google Ads management, local-listings program, and inbound lead routing all included. We generate the leads — you close them.

Recession-Resilient

Cleanouts, remodels, and contractor work hold steady even when new-build construction slows. Customers cycle every 3-12 months, which makes the revenue mix less volatile than discretionary services.

Franchise FAQs

How big is a territory?

Territories are typically defined by population (200K-500K residents) or specific zip codes. Larger metros may be split into multiple territories.

How long until I break even?

Most territories break even within 12-18 months and reach steady-state profitability by year 2. Actual results depend on market and operator effort.

 

What support do I get after launch?

Ongoing marketing support (lead generation, SEO, paid ads), operational guidance, equipment maintenance partnerships, and access to our group buying power.
