Residential Dumpster Rental FAQs
Our Residential FAQ section provides important details about our residential dumpster rental services, answering common questions and offering guidance for renting a dumpster.
Q.What is the ideal dumpster size for a residential cleanout?
A.The ideal dumpster size for a residential clean-out depends on the volume of waste.
A 10-yard roll off dumpster can hold 10 cubic yards of debris, which is about 50 to 70 large 33-gallon trash bags or eight pickup truck loads. This makes the 10-yard container a great waste removal option for small home projects, like a bathroom remodel, or light demolition projects.
A 15-yard dumpster has a capacity of 15 cubic yards, meaning it can hold about 80 to 100 contractor trash bags or ten pickup truckloads of debris. That’s why our 15-yard dumpster size is the right choice when you’re clearing your home before moving or tearing out a small porch.
A 20 yard roll off dumpster holds 20 cubic yards of waste, which is about sixteen pickup truck loads. If you are measuring in trash bags, this container holds about 110 to 130 large 33-gallon trash bags. This makes our 20-yard bin a perfect fit for tossing furniture from a full-home cleanout or removing yard debris during a large landscaping project. If you need a 40-yard dumpster we can deliver two 20-yard dumpsters.
A 30-yard roll off dumpster is our largest dumpster size, with a capacity of 30 cubic yards. That’s equivalent to 170 to 190 contractor trash bags or twenty-four pickup truck loads, making it a top choice for projects with large amounts of debris. Use it to toss waste when replacing drywall or to clean out several homes at once.
