Sizing

What size dumpster do you need?

Short answer: the 20 yard is right for most jobs, and the 25 is for bulky material that runs out of room before it runs out of weight. If you came here searching for a 10, 15, 30 or 40 yard, the table below translates — including the one case where we tell you to call somebody else.

Container sizes are not standard between companies. Here is what each number usually means and what we would actually put on your driveway.

10 yardHeavy, dense material — concrete, dirt, a small roofThe 20, quoted for the material. You hit the weight limit first either way.
15 yardA single-room remodel or a garageThe 20. Same footprint as a 15, more room, no second haul.
20 yardThe do-most-jobs sizeThe 20. This is the one.

Both our containers share one footprint — 17'1" long by 8'4" wide. Compare the 20 and the 25

By The Job

Or just find your project.

Nine jobs that cover most of what goes in our containers.

Garage or attic cleanout

20 yard. Boxes, furniture and years of nobody throwing anything away. Light enough that you fill the space before the tonnage.

Kitchen or bath remodel

20 yard. Cabinets, countertop, tile and old fixtures. Tile and plaster are heavier than they look, so tell us what is going in.

Whole-house cleanout

25 yard, or a 20 with a swap. An estate or a move-out usually produces more volume than weight.

Roof tear-off

20 yard, quoted separately. Shingles are dense and dispose at a different rate. A square of asphalt runs 250 to 400 pounds.

Flooring or carpet

20 yard. Carpet and pad from a whole house is 500 to 900 pounds. Wet is far worse — keep it covered if rain is coming.

Deck or fence demo

25 yard. Boards and posts are bulky and awkward and fill a container fast without weighing much.

Concrete, brick or dirt

20 yard, quoted separately. A single cubic yard of concrete is about two tons. These are weight jobs, not volume jobs.

Moving or downsizing

20 yard. What the donation truck will not take and the curb will not hold.

New construction

25 yard, usually on a swap schedule. Framing scrap and packaging are all volume. Ask about a builder account.

The Mistake

Most people run out of weight, not room.

  • A ton is 2,000 lbs — less material than it sounds like
  • Wet debris can weigh twice what the same pile weighs dry
  • Concrete, dirt and shingles hit the limit at knee height
  • Both our containers include 2 tons and a 5-day window

Questions

Sizes we get asked about.

No, and for most of the jobs people want one for you would not want it anyway. A 10 is normally chosen for heavy, dense material — concrete, dirt, a small roof tear-off — where you hit the weight limit long before the container looks full. We quote those loads on the 20 with the weight priced for the material, so you get the same job done without paying for walls you will never reach.
No. The thing worth knowing is that a 15 and a 20 sit on the same footprint — about 17 feet by 8 feet either way — so the smaller one takes up exactly as much of your driveway. The only thing you gain by going smaller is a slightly lower price, and the thing you risk is a second haul. We run the 20 instead.
Not today. For a job that genuinely needs 30 yards we can usually run the 25 with a swap partway through, which often costs about the same and means you are never waiting on a full container. If you need a true 40 — sustained commercial demolition, a full structure coming down — we are not the right company for it and we would rather tell you now than on delivery day.
The 20. It is the right answer for most remodels, cleanouts and tear-outs, which is why it is the one we built the fleet around. The 25 is for bulky, light material — deck boards, fencing, framing, furniture — where you run out of room before you run out of weight.
No. Both are 17'1" long and 8'4" wide; only the wall height changes, 5'6" on the 20 and 6'10" on the 25. If one fits your drive, the other does. Size the box to the job, not to the space.
Call or text before it is full and we will sort it out — dump and return the same container, or swap in an empty. It costs less than you would think and far less than a second rental. Guessing high is cheaper than guessing low.
Still Not Sure?

Text us a photo of the pile.

We have seen the job before and we will tell you which container fits — including when the smaller one is plenty. Or enter your address and see the price for both.
