When renting a dumpster you’ll want to first give some thought to how much trash you’ll be producing and which sized dumpster would be ideal. In general, it’s a good idea to ensure you have a little room left over in your dumpster so you aren’t caught requiring it to be emptied and returned to you again. It’s also important to understand that dumpsters not only have space limitations, but also weight limitations. Normally, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the typical trash removal tasks that a person will be performing, which will give you an idea of what you expect when you’re working on your own project.

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

Remodeling or Waste Removal: In general, a 20 cubic yard dumpster is ideal for remodeling a single room in your residence, or performing a general cleanup. This size dumpster can hold around six truckloads of trash, which is normally more than enough, but you may need a larger one for rooms with a lot of cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Home Remodeling: If you have more than a single room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a great idea to upgrade to a 30 cubic yard dumpster size. This size will ensure you don’t have to worry about the dumpster having to be unloaded and returned, but instead it would only take just one trip.

Garage, Attic or Basement Cleanouts: Sorting through unwanted items or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more room in your home. The typical sized home storage area can be cleaned out using a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster. If you have large items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Complete Home Cleanout 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. Much bigger homes, however, could benefit from working with a 30 cubic yard dumpster to take care of all the unwanted items you’re getting rid of.

Yard Work or Landscaping: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs typically only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a sizeable amount of space in a dumpster. Because of this, these types of projects typically only require a 10-15 cubic yard dumpster unless it consists of a large amount of tree branches.

Construction Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction projects a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. If you have a big renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be a whole lot of waste to dispose of. Keep in mind, if you will be disposing of very heavy objects such as concrete or bricks, you’ll require a specially designed dumpster to handle that.

Despite the fact that these are just standard guidelines for the most popular projects that require a dumpster, they will give you an idea of the size you’ll need when performing them. The best way to determine the size you’ll need is to call Discount Dumpster Rental Berkeley at (844) 923-1888 and simply tell us a bit about your needs and we’ll get you set up right away.
