Weight Limits and Materials

Heavier materials like dirt, concrete, and roofing shingles take up less space but weigh more. For these items, you might need a smaller dumpster than you think. Our team can advise on the best size for your specific materials.
Common Materials and Sizing Tips
- Household junk: Often bulky but not heavy – size up
- Yard waste: Lightweight but takes up space – medium to large size
- Concrete/brick: Very heavy – smaller dumpster with higher weight limit

- Mixed construction debris: Varies – discuss with our experts

Dumpster Sizes FAQs
How do I know what size dumpster I need?
Consider the scope of your project and amount of waste you expect to generate. For small home cleanouts, a 10 yard dumpster usually works, while major renovations might require a 30 or 40 yard container.
How much can I fit in a 20 yard dumpster?
A 20 yard dumpster can hold approximately 6-7 pickup truck loads of material or about 100-120 contractor bags of waste. This is typically enough for a medium kitchen renovation or a large room remodel.
Can I put concrete in my dumpster?
Yes, you can put concrete in our dumpsters, but there are special weight considerations. Heavy materials like concrete may require a smaller dumpster with a higher weight allowance rather than a larger size.
