FAQs

In terms of the smallest commercial dumpster size that you can rent, what is it? In general, 2 yard containers are the smallest size of commercial dumpsters that can be rented.

How big is the largest dumpster that you can rent? There are several different types of work that can be done with a 40 yard dumpster, but it is usually the largest size roll off container you can rent in most areas.

It is common to find roll off dumpsters in sizes of 12 yards, 15 yards, and 20 yards.

It is ideal to use a 6 cubic yard dumpster for two or three pieces of furniture. In some cases, it may be possible to fit more items depending on the size of the items. 10 cubic yard dumpsters work well for four to five items and are slightly taller than the six cubic yard dumpster as well.

It depends on your scope of work and the types of materials you are tossing that determines the size of your roll off dumpster. I would recommend a 10 yard dumpster for a small attic or garage cleanout, or for heavy debris removal from a house or business, while a 40 yard container would be ideal for a full remodel of a home or business.
