If you're planning a major construction, cleaning, or landscaping project, roll-off dumpster rentals are a convenient means of garbage collection and waste removal. When procuring a dumpster rental, you'll be asked to choose a size. While larger roll-off dumpster rentals might be less convenient to move and place, a smaller dumpster rental may not be big enough to hold all the materials you need to throw away. To avoid any unnecessary hassle and ultimately save money, it's important you choose the right size commercial waste disposal receptacle based on the magnitude of your project. Here are some guidelines for choosing dumpster rentals that align with your needs.

10 Cubic Yards

This dumpster measures 12'x8'x3', which comes out to slightly over 10 cubic yards of space. It's the best size for use in tight spaces, and can hold materials from one renovation or clean-out project, like small roof repairs, siding replacement, or emptying a basement. Just make sure the materials you want to dispose of are allowed to go in your dumpster rental. Most roll-off dumpster rental companies forbid the disposal of hazardous products, like old paint and combustibles, in garbage collection containers around this size.

20 Cubic Yards

At 22'x8'x4' or 20 cubic yards, this size dumpster is both longer and deeper than the aforementioned garbage collection receptacle. The height on each of the dumpster’s sides are low enough for easy loading by hand, but also tall and durable enough to handle heavy equipment. This dumpster is ideal for larger projects, like re-roofing renovations, tree stump removal, or a small construction project.

30 Cubic Yards

Though this size dumpster rental has the same footprint as 20-yard models, at 22'x8'x6' or 30 cubic yards, it’s significantly deeper. This size roll-off dumpster rental is a good option for large construction or renovation projects as well as major demolition jobs, because it can handle heavy concrete and other construction materials.
