In order to make the best, most educated decision for your waste removal efforts it’s necessary to have a general idea of the sizes available. However, it can be tough to estimate the precise quantity of waste that a specific job will generate. There are a range of numerous dumpster sizes that are suitable to match any junk removal needs for your tasks. Although it’s always a good idea to describe your project in depth when renting a dumpster so we can help you select a suitable size, below are some good examples of typical jobs and the average sized dumpster you’ll need to rent.

Typical Projects and Dumpster Sizes Needed to Finish Them

Remodeling or Garbage Removal: Each person’s project is different, 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 typically more than enough, but you may need a larger one for rooms with many cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Multi-Room Remodeling: When remodeling numerous rooms in your residence or having contracting work carried out a 30 cubic yard dumpster is usually an ideal option. 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.

One Room Storage Area Cleanout: Cleaning out unwanted objects or debris from your storage areas is a great way to free up more space in your home. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is perfect. If you have large items, such as appliances, you may want a 20 yarder just to be on the safe side.

Complete Home Cleanout: If you’re performing a home cleanup and are removing furniture items, then you’ll most likely want a 15 to 20 cubic yard dumpster rental for the regular sized home. For much larger homes, however, a 30 cubic yard dumpster would be a more beneficial choice since it would amount to about 9 regular truckloads of waste.

Landscaping or Yard Work: Landscaping, yard or gardening jobs usually only produce a small amount of waste materials that will not take up a large 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: The very best dumpster rental solution for contracting work or large scale projects would be the 40 cubic yard option. Anytime you count on a large amount of debris to be produced by your job, having a greater sized dumpster is the best bet. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will need a specific heavy-duty dumpster.

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