The following are the most frequent projects our customers need a dumpster for and the recommended sizes to rent:

Basic Remodeling or General Trash Removal: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is ideal for remodeling a single room in your home, or performing a basic cleanup. This size dumpster can carry around six truckloads of trash, which is ordinarily more than enough, but you may need a bigger one for rooms with many cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Multi-Room Remodeling Projects: When remodeling numerous rooms in your house or having contracting work performed a 30 cubic yard dumpster is typically an ideal option. This allows for a greater volume of trash to be easily disposed of and will guarantee you don’t need numerous trips to dispose of it.

One Room Storage Area Cleanout: It’s a great idea to clear out excess items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. The standard sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. If you have big items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Full Home Cleanup Projects: For items such as furniture or large appliances that you’re cleaning out of your home, a 15-20 cubic yard dumpster would be ideal for the standard house. For bigger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a more beneficial choice since it would amount to around 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Landscaping or Yard Work: Landscaping, yard or gardening work generally only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a large amount of space in a dumpster. Therefore, the typical yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are preparing for disposing of a lot of tree branches or full shrubbery.

Contracting Work: The best dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard option. Anytime you expect a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a larger sized dumpster is the best bet. Keep in mind, if you will be disposing of very heavy objects such as concrete or bricks, you’ll need a specially designed dumpster to handle that.
