Types of Dumpsters for Rent

We carry a full range of roll-off dumpster sizes so you only pay for what you actually need. Here's a quick breakdown of what each size handles best.

Size Best For Typical Use Approx. Capacity
10 Yard Small cleanouts, single-room remodels Garage cleanout, light demo ~3 pickup truck loads
15 Yard Mid-size home projects Bathroom gut, flooring removal ~4.5 pickup truck loads
20 Yard Home renovations, roofing Full remodeling projects, shingles, drywall ~6 pickup truck loads
30 Yard Large builds, commercial New construction, big demo ~9 pickup truck loads
40 Yard Major commercial, demolition Whole-home demo, large sites ~12 pickup truck loads

10 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

A 10 yard dumpster is the right pick for small home projects, single-room remodels or light yard waste removal. It holds roughly 3 pickup truck loads of debris and fits easily in most driveways.

Best for: Bathroom remodels, small home cleanouts, garage purges

12 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

The 12 yard sits between our smallest and mid-range options, giving you a little extra room without taking up too much space. It's a great fit for modest renovation projects or multi-room cleanouts.

Best for: Kitchen updates, small deck teardowns, light construction debris

15 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

The 15 yard dumpster is one of our most popular residential sizes. It can comfortably handle a full bathroom gut-out, a furniture removal, and some old appliances. If you're wondering whether a couch fits in a 15 yard dumpster, the answer is yes.

Best for: Mid-size home remodeling, furniture disposal, flooring removal

18 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

Need more room, but not ready for a 20 yard? The 18 yard bridges that gap well. You get plenty of capacity for projects with mixed debris types.

Best for: Multi-room renovations, roofing tear-offs on smaller homes, mixed junk removal

20 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

The 20 yard dumpster is the workhorse of roll-off rentals. It holds roughly 6 pickup truck loads and handles most residential renovations or mid-size construction projects.

Best for: Home renovation, roofing projects, drywall removal, landscaping

25 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

When a 20 yard isn't quite enough, the 25 yard gives you extra buffer without jumping to a full-size container. Great for larger remodels with multiple debris types.

Best for: Major home remodels, shingles removal, large cleanouts

30 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

The 30 yard is the go-to size for new construction and large renovation projects. It holds the equivalent of about 9 pickup truck loads and can handle heavy materials like concrete, brick, and shingles.

Best for: New construction, commercial cleanouts, large roofing jobs

35 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

For projects with a large volume of debris, the 35 yard keeps things moving without constant swap-outs. It's a smart pick when you want fewer pickups and more efficiency.

Best for: Large commercial projects, demolition debris, estate cleanouts

40 Yard Roll-Off Dumpster

Our largest container, the 40 yard roll-off dumpster, is built for big jobs. Think whole-home demolitions, major commercial construction or multi-site cleanups. This is maximum capacity for maximum projects.

Best for: Major construction sites, commercial demolition, large-scale debris removal

4 Tips For Renting a Dumpster

Getting a dumpster rental right comes down to a few basics. Follow these tips and you'll avoid the most common mistakes.

Pick the right size. When in doubt, go one size up. A slightly bigger dumpster is almost always less expensive than a second delivery.

Know what can't go in. Hazardous waste, medical waste, and asbestos are never allowed. We'll cover the full list below.

Check your placement options. A flat, accessible surface works best. We'll walk you through local dumpster permit requirements if you want it on a street.

Plan your rental period. Standard rental periods run 7 to 14 days. If your project runs long, just call us and we'll extend it.

Loading Your Dumpster

Load heavier items first and keep things spread evenly. That makes transport safer and helps you fit more in without going over the weight limit.

Disposing of Bulky Items

Big items like furniture, appliances, and mattresses should go in first. Cut up your mattress into large pieces, if possible, to maximize space and avoid wasted capacity.

Dumpster Safety

Keep debris at or below the fill line. Overfilled containers are a safety and transport issue and may result in your pickup being delayed until the load is reduced.

Avoiding Additional Dumpster Rental Fees

The two most common sources of extra fees are exceeding the weight limit and keeping the dumpster beyond your rental period. Both are easy to avoid with a little upfront planning. Your account manager will give you the specifics when you book.

Dumpster Rental FAQs

You call or request a quote online, we confirm your size and delivery date, and a driver drops the container at your location. Fill it up during your rental period. When you're ready, we pick it up and handle disposal. It's that simple.

It depends on your project. Small cleanouts and single-room remodels usually fit a 10 or 15 yard. Full home renovations and roofing jobs typically need a 20 to 30 yard. Not sure? Call us at 888-251-2660 and we'll help you figure it out fast.

Hazardous waste, medical waste, asbestos, paint, chemicals, batteries, tires and propane tanks aren’t allowed in roll-off dumpsters. These materials require specialized handling and waste disposal channels. If you're not sure whether something qualifies as hazardous, ask your account manager before loading.

In many cities and towns, you can place a dumpster on a public street, but you may need a permit from your local municipality. Requirements vary by location. We can help walk you through what's typically needed in your area when you call to book.

In most service areas, same-day or next-day delivery is available. Call 888-251-2660 to confirm availability in your area and schedule your dumpster delivery.

Plan for at least 10 feet of width and 22 feet of length for a standard roll-off placement. Overhead clearance of about 18 feet is needed for the delivery truck. A standard driveway usually works well.

If you go over the included weight limit, an additional fee is charged for the overage. The rate is based on the excess weight. Choosing the right size upfront and being mindful of heavy materials like concrete or shingles helps keep costs in check.
