Heavy-duty front-load dumpsters are built to withstand the wear and tear of commercial garbage collection. A 2 yard dumpster typically measures 6-foot long by 3-foot wide by 3-foot tall. There may be slight variations on these dimensions depending on location. The capacity of a 2 yard front load is two cubic yards. Most 2 yard front loads have a commercial-grade plastic hinged lid. Flat top and slant top lids are available. Dumpster lock-bars are available in most locations on request.
