Dumpster dimensions

There are 15 yard, 20 yard, 30 yard, and 40 yard dumpsters, specific dimension sizes are listed in the chart below. Keep in mind however, the width, height, and length in the illustration below are common, but dumpster proportions are not consistent, and they can vary for each location.

15 Yard

20 Yard

30 Yard

40 Yard

15 Yard Dumpsters

Mostly used for smaller projects.

If you are doing something such as a home remodeling project, a 15-yard dumpster will usually be best suited for the job. They take up the least amount of space on a site and are rented out commonly for things such as basement or garage debris clean-out, smaller deck removal projects, small roofing projects, or remodeling jobs. However, if you live in a larger home a size up might be a better choice for you.

20 Yard Dumpsters

Perfect dumpsters for handling debris of a large home remodeling project or projects like shed renovation.

It is a nice sized dumpster ideal for those who don’t have a lot of space to work with at their site. They are most commonly rented out to residential projects for things such as carpet and flooring removal for a larger home, work being done on the roof of one’s home, attic or basement cleanup and also deck removals. 20 yard dumpsters are also rented out for commercial projects that are looking for roll-off dumpsters that are not so large that they can’t be loaded easily, but they are large enough to handle most needs that they can have for their dumpster.

30 Yard Dumpsters

Commonly rented out for demolition or construction jobs.

These can handle around nine pick-up truck loads. If you are taking on a major construction or demolition project, or have a commercial cleanup project; 30 yard dumpsters will handle your debris the best.

40 Yard Dumpsters

Used to hold EXTREME amounts of waste.

These are ideal for commercial cleanups, industrial applications, and large residential projects. 40 yard dumpsters are also our most commonly rented out dumpster, so be sure to call us 2 days in advance so that we can be sure to get one out to you at your desired date & location site that it is needed for!

*NOTE
that each project and every person’s needs are different. There are certain circumstances that come into play and factor into what dumpster size you will need for your upcoming project. Keep in mind of what materials are potentially going into the dumpster that you will be renting; lot size also comes into play in your decision. DUMPSTERS THAT ARE RENTED OUT MUST NOT HAVE TRASH GO ABOVE THE FILL LINE and there are certain materials that are not allowed to be thrown in a dumpster as it will damage the dumpsters.

*Things that can NOT be put into a dumpster are:
any type of hazardous materials, wet cement, wet paint, oil (other liquids), asbestos, sealed tanks/drums, electronics (e-waste), tires and some types of furniture.
