What is the most popular dumpster size?
+
The 20-yard. At 22 ft long, 8 ft wide and 4 ft high, it holds about 6 to 8 pickup-truck loads, which covers most kitchen, flooring and whole-room projects and still fits in a typical driveway.
How much does a 15-yard dumpster hold?
+
About 5 to 6 pickup-truck loads. The 15-yard is our smallest container, and it is the right choice for heavy debris like concrete, brick, dirt and roofing, where weight fills a container before volume does.
What is the difference between a 30 and a 40-yard dumpster?
+
Wall height. Both are 22 ft by 8 ft; the 30-yard has 5 ft walls and the 40-yard has 6 ft walls. The 40-yard adds roughly four more pickup loads of capacity for bulky, lighter material.
What happens if I pick a dumpster that is too small?
+
You will need a swap before the job is done, and overfilled containers cannot be hauled safely. If you are between two sizes, the larger one usually costs less than a second haul.
Is there a weight limit?
+
Yes, every size has a weight allowance, and heavy material reaches it before the container looks full. Tell dispatch what is going in and we will match the size to the weight. Call (817) 368-4210.
