Get the Right Dumpster Size to Avoid Common Fees
Tell Us What You’re Tossing
Some dumpsters can only accept specific material types. For example, heavy debris containers only accept materials like concrete while bulky items like furniture aren’t allowed in front load bins. We’ll go over prohibited items with you when you set up your rental, but you can always give us a call with questions.
Stay Within Your Weight Limit
We’ll make sure you get the right size bin to accommodate all of your trash in order to avoid going over the dumpster’s weight limit. If you have a lot to toss, consider going up a size or scheduling an extra pickup to avoid an overage fee. If you’re renting a roll off, use our weight calculators to select a container with the appropriate capacity.
Keep Debris Inside the Bin
When you rent a dumpster size that matches your garbage, you won’t have to worry about trash sticking over the top of the bin. Stay below the fill line and avoid overloading fees by getting the right size container, renting multiple bins or asking for additional pickups.
Dumpster Sizes FAQ
What is the average size of a dumpster?
There are multiple dumpster sizes and types. Our most popular roll off size is the 20 yard dumpster. This container is typically 22 feet long, 7.5 feet wide and 4.5 feet high, making it the ideal fit for a wide variety of projects, including residential cleanouts and construction work. For commercial trash service, our 4 yard container suits many mid-size business trash flows and is on average 6 feet long, 4.5 feet wide and 4 feet high.
How tall is a standard dumpster?
A dumpster's height differs depending on the size and type of container you rent. The smallest roll off bin available in most markets is a 10 yard that stands 3.5 feet in height. Our tallest dumpster in most locations is the 40 yard, which stands at 8 feet tall. Our dumpsters include a swinging door for easy trash disposal despite the high walls. For commercial front load bins, our dumpsters typically range from 2 to 8 yards and measure between 3-8 feet tall. Keep in mind that while a dumpster's dimensions may vary by manufacturer, the total volume will remain the same.
