Whether you run a printing business or a coffee shop, your store will produce its fair share of trash. Dumpsters are essential for managing your company’s waste removal needs, but how can you know which size you should rent? Finding a good match will have a direct impact on the cleanliness of your property and your yearly waste disposal expenses. Here’s a closer look at how you can find the right fit for your property.

Small Producers

Not all businesses produce very much trash. As such, they don’t need to worry about using larger dumpsters. A two-cubic-yard dumpster is a great option for offices smaller than 2,500 square feet. Though they may look small, they can hold up to 400 pounds of waste.

For somewhat busier facilities and small restaurants, a four- or six-cubic-yard dumpster may be the better choice. Six-yard dumpsters are especially common behind shopping plazas and office parks, where multiple small businesses use the same waste container.

Big Businesses

The bigger the business, the larger size dumpster you’ll need to handle your waste. Even if you don’t think your facility produces much waste, larger stores and warehouses have significant disposal needs. 

Buildings greater than 25,000 square feet typically need an eight-cubic-yard dumpster at a minimum. Restaurants with high waste volume (such as fast food locations, larger restaurants, and sports bars) should also consider these larger dumpsters. Larger roll-off containers will likely be needed for manufacturing facilities or exceptionally busy restaurants.
