So how can you make a decision on the right container size for your waste removal job? Below are the most well-known jobs that dumpster rentals are used for and the normal sizes that are suitable to handle them.

Below are just a few of the typical jobs customers have used our dumpsters for and the sizes that might be right for your own project:

Remodeling or Waste Removal: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is perfect for remodeling a single room in your home, or performing a basic cleanup. This size dumpster can hold around six truckloads of trash, which is generally sufficient, but you may need a larger one for rooms with numerous cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Multi-Room Contracting Jobs: When remodeling several rooms in your house or having contracting work carried out a 30 cubic yard dumpster is normally an ideal option. This size will make sure you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but instead it would only take one trip.

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: Cleaning up unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more room or space in your home. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is excellent. If you have sizeable items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Cleaning Out a Full Home: If you’re undertaking a home cleanup and are removing furniture items, then you’ll most likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the average sized home. Much larger homes, however, could benefit from employing a 30 cubic yard dumpster to deal with all the unwanted items you’re removing.

Yard or Landscaping Work: Landscaping, yard or gardening work normally only produce a small amount of waste that will not take up a substantial amount of space in a dumpster. Because of this, these sorts of projects usually only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it involves a large amount of tree branches.

Construction Projects: For large renovation, home improvement or construction initiatives a large dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. Anytime you count on a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a larger sized dumpster is the safest bet. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will need a special heavy-duty dumpster.
