Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what size dumpster I need?
Consider your project scope: 10-yard for small cleanouts, 20-yard for renovations, 30-yard for large projects, and 40-yard for commercial or construction sites. Our calculator can help you choose.
What happens if I choose the wrong size?
If you fill up your dumpster, we can swap it for an empty one (swap fee applies). If you overload it, there may be additional charges for safe transport.
Can I put different types of debris in the same dumpster?
Yes, you can mix most types of accepted debris. However, some materials like concrete or dirt may need separate containers due to weight limits.
How much weight can I put in a dumpster?
Weight limits vary by size: 10-yard (2-3 tons), 20-yard (3-4 tons), 30-yard (4-5 tons), 40-yard (5-6 tons). Heavy materials like concrete have lower volume limits.
