Arranging a dumpster rental can make decluttering a house before putting it on the market or disposing of home remodeling debris a snap. Instead of wasting time and gas making repeated trips to the dump, you simply toss everything into a roll-off dumpster, and we haul it away when it’s full.
You’re here reading this because you’ve
already decided a dumpster rental is a smart idea, but you’re wondering how
much you can fit in a roll-off dumpster, and what size dumpster you should get.
Hopefully, this blog will help you make your decision.
Roll-Off Dumpster Sizes
How much you can fit in a roll-off dumpster
depends on what size you get. We have 3 dumpster sizes available:
Size |
Dimensions |
Weight Limit |
10 cubic yards |
12’ Long x 8’ Wide x 3.5’ Tall |
2-3 tons (4,000-6,000 lbs) |
15 cubic yards |
14’ Long x 8’ Wide x 4’ Tall |
2-3 tons (4,000-6,000 lbs) |
20 cubic yards |
14’ Long x 8’ Wide x 5.5’ Tall
|
2-4 tons (4,000-8,000 lbs) |
All of our roll-off dumpsters have doors at
one end that you can open and walk things in. You can also toss things in over
the side once the heavier and larger items have already been loaded. Pay attention to the weight limits. This can
really come into play if you’re getting rid of heavy materials like concrete or
wet carpeting.
Now let’s get into the specifics of what
will fit in each size.
What Will Fit in a 10-Yard Dumpster?
This is the smallest size dumpster we
offer, and it can be the ideal size for smaller projects like clearing out your
garage, basement, or attic. To put it into literal terms, a dumpster this size
can typically hold 50-60 33-gallon size trash bags. These are the extra-large
trash bags you might put lawn debris in. This size will fit debris from a
bathroom remodel or small kitchen renovation.
What Will Fit in a 15-Yard Dumpster?
This dumpster is popular for a lot of home
improvement projects, including roofing jobs, landscaping and hardscaping
projects, and home cleanouts. It can hold the equivalent of 70-90 33-gallon
trash bags.
What Will Fit in a 20-Yard Dumpster?
This is the largest size we offer. Since
it’s taller, than the 15-yard dumpster, it will fit even more. This size
dumpster can hold 100-120 33-gallon size trash bags. It holds the equivalent of
about 10 pickup truck loads of debris. It will fit debris from larger renovation
projects, including replacing carpeting.
Whichever size roll-off dumpster you
choose, be careful not to fill it above the top, because that will result in
overage fees, or prevent us from hauling it away. In addition, if it’s going to
rain, cover your dumpster with tarps or plastic sheeting to keep water out. It
can increase the weight of upholstered furniture or carpeting that you’re
getting rid of.
