The size of your dumpster is one of the most important decisions that you will make before renting it. What size dumpster do you need? How can you avoid paying extra for space that you don’t use? What amount of debris can we expect to see in our kitchen and complete home renovations?
Our specialists will help you navigate the rental process. We will ask you about the type of construction you are working on and then use our expertise to help you choose the right size.
We know what works for customers and can accurately estimate dumpster sizes.
It’s nice to be able to see what’s out there. These are the most common dumpster sizes, and how they are used.
15 YARD DUMPSTERS
For homeowners and small commercial contractors, a 15-yard dumpster is very popular. This dumpster is a “jack-of-all-trades” type of dumpster and can be easily inserted into your front yard or backyard to ensure that your project runs smoothly. This little guy can fit in a small driveway or parking space. On larger projects, such as in dense downtown areas, we’ve seen 15-yard dumpsters being used. To keep your project moving smoothly, you can empty the dumpster more often for larger projects.
Perfect for:
-Renovation debris for smaller projects
-Garbage, trash, and junk removal (like spring cleaning)
-Homeowner garage cleanouts
-Asphalt shingle re-roofing
-Smaller commercial construction sites
General waste collection and disposal
-Situations and properties where you cannot fit a larger dumpster
20 YARD DUMPSTERS
Our customers prefer a 20-yard dumpster. It is large enough to handle most renovations and can hold enough junk to complete any spring cleaning. It is much smaller than the 30-yard containers that are used mostly on commercial construction sites. It can be delivered to most residential areas (it will fit one-half of an average driveway). Contractors love to rent construction dumpsters on demolition sites.
Perfect for:
-Demolition debris
Garbage, trash, and junk removal
Larger house cleanouts
Larger residential renovations
-Commercial construction sites
General waste collection and disposal
Flat roof tear-offs
General trash and garbage collection
30 YARD DUMPSTERS
A 30-yard dumpster is almost exclusively used for commercial construction sites. This dumpster is not necessary unless a homeowner is undergoing a multi-room remodel. For delivery and pickup of 30 cubic yard dumpsters, a tandem axle truck is required. It can also be difficult to place the dumpster in some residential spaces. Many of our customers are amazed at how easily the dumpster fits in a lot or property.
Perfect for:
Placement bins that can be used for permanent placement in commercial or industrial establishments
High-volume demolition and renovation projects
High-volume junk removal jobs
Flat roofing for commercial use
-Industrialized Construction and Civil Projects
General waste collection and disposal
Recycle wood and pallets
