Equipment and Dumpster Rentals in NH: Renting Both for Your Project
Most projects don't just need one thing. A garage cleanout needs a dumpster for the junk and maybe a skid steer to move it. A land clearing job needs an excavator and forestry mulcher to do the clearing — and a dumpster to haul away the stumps and brush. A demolition job needs both from start to finish.
Where We Serve You
NorthPoint Equipment Rentals operates from five NH locations: Colebrook, Ashland, Rumney, Tilton, and Hooksett. Four of those — Ashland, Rumney, Tilton, and Hooksett — share an address with a NorthPoint Dumpster Rentals location, making it one stop for both. Colebrook is an Equipment Rentals location only, with no Dumpster Rentals counterpart. NorthPoint Dumpster Rentals itself serves six locations total: Thornton, Rumney, Ashland, Tilton, Concord, and Hooksett.
Project Types That Need Both Equipment and a Dumpster
Tearing out flooring, cabinets, drywall, or a bathroom? A 10 or 15-yard dumpster handles the debris, while a mini skid steer like the Bobcat MT100 can help move heavier material out of tight spaces.
Full or partial demolition jobs are where these two companies work hardest together. An excavator (Kubota, Bobcat, Cat, or Takeuchi, depending on the scope) does the heavy work — including a hydraulic hammer attachment for breaking up concrete — and a 20-yard dumpster keeps debris contained until it's hauled away.
Clearing a lot or trail? Pair an excavator with a forestry mulcher attachment to clear brush and small trees, then use a dumpster for stumps, root balls, and debris that can't be mulched.
A dumpster handles what's getting thrown away; equipment like a skid steer or one of our wood chippers (4", 6" Bandit, or 12" Bandit) handles what needs to be moved, dug, or chipped. Stump grinders are also available for larger cleanup jobs involving tree removal.
Roof tear-offs generate a surprising amount of debris fast. A dumpster sized to the job keeps your yard and driveway clear while work is underway.
The Full Equipment Lineup
Beyond skid steers and excavators, NorthPoint Equipment Rentals' fleet includes attachments built for more specialized work: Harley rake attachments, skeleton buckets, auger attachments, hydraulic hammers, cold planers, a road runner grading attachment, 48" pallet forks, a hopper broom, and a rotary cutter — covering everything from grading and driveway work to pallet handling and lot cleanup, not just demolition and debris loading.

For most projects, equipment work comes first and the dumpster fills as a result — a skid steer clears brush, an excavator breaks apart a structure or slab, and the debris goes straight into the container rather than sitting in a pile waiting to be hand-loaded later. Ordering both for the same delivery window, rather than staggering them days apart, generally keeps a project moving fastest, since equipment sitting idle without a container to load into (or a container sitting empty without equipment to fill it) both waste rental days.
If your project spans several days — demolition one day, cleanup the next — it's worth discussing the sequence with both teams up front so the dumpster shows up with enough runway to actually be filled before pickup, rather than needing an extension because equipment work ran long.
Common Questions
Are NorthPoint Dumpster Rentals and NorthPoint Equipment Rentals the same company?
No — they're separate legal entities under shared family ownership, run by the same local team. Four locations (Ashland, Rumney, Tilton, Hooksett) share a physical address; Colebrook is Equipment Rentals only, and Concord and Thornton are Dumpster Rentals only.
Do I get one combined bill if I rent both?
No — each company bills separately. The benefit of using both is coordination and convenience, not a combined invoice or bundled discount.
Can I rent equipment without also renting a dumpster?
Yes — Equipment Rentals operates independently. This guide exists for the projects that need both, not to suggest you can't use one without the other.
Who do I actually call if my project needs both?
Either team — call NorthPoint Dumpster Rentals or NorthPoint Equipment Rentals directly and mention your project needs both. You don't need to figure out the "right" order to call them in.
Should equipment and the dumpster arrive on the same day?
For most projects, yes — that keeps equipment work feeding directly into the container rather than creating a pile that needs to be hand-loaded later. Longer or multi-day projects may need a different sequence; talk to both teams about your specific timeline.
Does renting from both companies require two separate site visits or deliveries?
Yes, typically — each company delivers and picks up its own equipment or container independently. Coordinating timing between the two is something you (or your contractor) manage, though both teams will work with you on scheduling.
What happens if equipment work generates more debris than expected?
If your dumpster fills faster than planned, a swap or a second container can usually be arranged — call your NorthPoint Dumpster Rentals location as soon as you see it filling up rather than waiting until it's already full.
Is there a minimum project size for renting both together?
No — there's no minimum. Smaller projects sometimes only need a dumpster and can hand-load without equipment; larger or heavier projects benefit from both regardless of overall size. Describe your project to either team for an honest read on what you actually need.
