Gaining an understanding of dumpster rental sizes and their proportions can go a long way towards assisting you to make the correct choice for your waste removal task. Estimating the volume of your waste materials can be challenging, as it usually takes up more space than you’d imagine at first. There are a range of numerous dumpster sizes that are suitable to match any waste removal demands for your projects. Explaining your project to your dumpster rental representative is a great way to get an idea as to the size you’ll want, but there are also some common projects that dictate certain sized dumpster to give you an idea of what to expect.

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

Basic Remodeling or General Waste Removal: Each person’s task is unique, but in general a 20 cubic yard dumpster is sufficient for a single room remodel or cleanup. This size dumpster can carry around six truckloads of trash, which is normally more than enough, but you may need a larger one for rooms with many cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

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

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: It’s a great idea to clear out excess items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. The common 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: If you’re carrying out a home cleanup and are doing away with furniture items, then you’ll likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the average sized home. For larger sized homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a better choice since it would amount to about 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Yard Work or Landscaping: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs generally 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.

Contracting Work: For large renovation, home improvement or construction tasks a large dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be ideal. 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 want a specially designed dumpster to handle that.
