TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE

When in Doubt, Size Up

It's better to have a little extra space than to run out of room. Ordering a second dumpster costs more than going one size larger.

Consider Weight, Not Just Volume

Heavy materials like concrete, brick, and dirt fill up weight limits quickly. For these, a 10-yard is often the best choice.

Think About Access

Make sure you have enough space in your driveway or yard. A 20-yard dumpster is about 22 feet long.
