Most dumpsters are large and heavy steel containers. When you specify where it should be set down on your property, avoid areas that could be damaged, such as wet soil or edges/corners of concrete driveways or pads.
There is no quick and easy way to determine what size dumpster you’ll need. Different materials of the same volume may have significantly different weights, impacting dumpster size. The provider will need to know the type and volume of materials you’ll be disposing of to help you choose the right fit.
A 10-yard dumpster comes in different sizes but is typically 14 feet long and 3.5 feet high. It can hold two to three tons of materials.
You can rent a dumpster for as long as needed, whether that’s a week or six months.
The smallest dumpster size you can rent is two cubic yards for trash. The smallest roll-off dumpster you can rent is 10 cubic yards.
