These dumpsters are most often used for smaller projects such as garage/basement clean outs, small bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, small roof replacements up to 1500 sq ft or a small deck removal up to 500 sq ft.

20 Yard Dumpster

20 yard roll off dumpsters hold approximately 8 pick-up trucks of waste material. They’re often used for projects like flooring or carpet removal for a large house, roof replacements up to 3,000 sq ft, deck removal up to 400 sq ft, or large garage/basement clean outs.

30 Yard Dumpster

30 yard roll off dumpsters hold about 12 pick up trucks of waste material. They are most often used for projects like new home constructions, large home additions, siding or window replacements for a small to medium sized house, or garage/basement demolition.

40 Yard Dumpster

Renting the appropriate sized dumpster for your junk removal job is the most important decision you’ll make during the rental process. In general, it’s a good idea to be sure you have a little room left over in your dumpster so you aren’t stuck requiring it to be emptied and returned to you again. Understanding the weight limits of each dumpster is a pivotal fact as well, especially if you’re getting rid of heavy materials like asphalt or roofing. Normally, there are certain dumpster sizes that will match the regular trash removal jobs that a person will be executing, which will give you an idea of what you expect when you’re working on your own project.

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

Basic Remodeling or General Garbage Removal: Each person’s job 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 ordinarily sufficient, but you may need a bigger one for rooms with a lot of cabinets or appliances to dispose of.

Multi-Room Remodeling Projects: If you have more than a single room you’re going to be working on, then it’s a good idea to upgrade to a 30 cubic yard dumpster size. 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 a single trip.

Cleaning Out Your Basement, Attic or Garage: It’s a good idea to clear out unwanted items from your home’s storage areas to free up more space. For the average home storage area, a simple 10 or 15 cubic yard dumpster is perfect. However, if you are getting rid of large items or appliances, then a 20 cubic yard dumpster rental option would be significantly better.

Full Home Cleanup Projects: If you’re doing 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. Much bigger homes, however, could benefit from utilizing a 30 cubic yard dumpster to take care of all the unwanted items you’re removing.

Yard or Landscaping Work: In general, yard work and landscaping waste materials won’t require a huge amount of dumpster volume. Therefore, the typical yard project will only require a 10 to 15 cubic yard dumpster, unless you are preparing for disposing of numerous tree branches or full shrubbery.

Construction Projects: For large renovation, home improvement or construction tasks a big dumpster size, such as a 40 cubic yard option, would be perfect. If you have a large renovation project ahead of you, then you can bet they’ll be lots of waste materials to dispose of. Heavy waste objects, such as concrete or asphalt, will need a special heavy-duty dumpster.

Although these are just basic 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.

Should I Apply for a Permit in Santa Cruz for a Dumpster Rental?

In many cases you won’t need to worry about getting a permit as long as you’re placing the dumpster on your own private property, with a customer’s driveway being the most prevalent location.

The easiest way to avoid acquiring a permit is to simply rent a dumpster that is a size appropriate for your driveway or property. This way you can have complete control over the dumpster’s position and won’t have to worry about permits in most cases. When in doubt you can also visit the Santa Cruz Public Works Department. As long as the dumpster doesn’t get in the way of public access most locations won’t require a permit for placement. However, if you do need a permit, applying for one is as straightforward as visiting the Santa Cruz Public Works website and filling out the required information.
