How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size

The best dumpster size depends on the amount and type of material you need to remove. A small cleanout may need a smaller container, while a renovation or construction project may require more capacity.

If you’re between two sizes, consider both the volume of your debris and whether the material is especially heavy. When you’re unsure, tell us what you’re working on and ask for a size recommendation before booking.

Match Size to Project

Which Dumpster Size Fits Your Project?

These examples are general starting points. Your actual size should be based on the amount and type of debris you expect to generate.

Home Cleanouts & Garage Clearouts

Start by considering a 10 or 15 yard option for smaller cleanouts. Larger projects may need more capacity.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels

A 20 yard option may be suitable for many remodeling projects, depending on the amount of cabinets, flooring, drywall, and other debris.

Roofing Projects

Roofing debris can be heavy, so weight allowances matter as much as container volume. Ask about applicable weight limits before booking.

Construction & Demolition

Larger projects may need 30 or 40 yard containers, depending on the volume and type of material being removed.

Commercial Cleanouts

The right size depends heavily on the amount and type of material. Share your project details for a more useful recommendation.

Heavy Materials

Concrete, dirt, tile, shingles, and similar materials can reach weight limits quickly. Ask about weight allowances before choosing a size.

Before Delivery

Will a Dumpster Fit in My Driveway?

Placement space matters when choosing and scheduling a dumpster. Make sure the delivery area is accessible and clear of vehicles, branches, wires, gates, and other obstacles that could interfere with delivery.

Check Your Delivery Area

Keep enough clear space for the truck and container to be delivered safely. If you’re unsure whether your driveway or property has enough room, mention it when requesting your quote and ask about placement requirements.

Still Deciding?

Choosing Between Two Dumpster Sizes

If you’re deciding between two sizes, look at both volume and the type of material you’re disposing of. Bulky, lighter debris is mainly a volume question, while concrete, dirt, tile, and shingles require closer attention to weight limits.

When the project details are unclear, don’t guess. Tell us what you’re removing and ask for a suitable size recommendation.

Many residential remodeling projects can fit a 20 yard dumpster, but the correct size depends on the amount of cabinets, flooring, drywall, fixtures, and other debris involved.
