If you’re going to be removing a lot of junk from your home, you’ll want to rent a dumpster. If you have a dumpster on hand, it’ll be easy for you to dispose of everything. However, it can be hard for people to figure out how much a dumpster actually holds.
Dumpster Rental Sizes
The dumpster rental size you choose depends on the size of your project and the amount of debris you anticipate to have. Some dumpster sizes Action Dumpsters provides include:
10-Yard Dumpsters
This size of dumpster is ideal for small to medium projects. It can hold 10 cubic yards of material. That’s about three times as much as what you would be able to fit in the back of a pick-up truck. A dumpster of this size is great if you don’t have a lot of yard space. A dumpster like this won’t take up much room at all.
That said, it isn’t ideal for bigger projects. Although it may sound like you have a lot of space, your dumpster will fill up very quickly.
15-Yard Dumpsters
If you want something a little bit bigger than a 10-yard dumpster but don’t have room for something too large, this kind of dumpster is the perfect compromise. Those five extra yards can really make a big difference. A dumpster like this can carry around 4 and a half pickup loads’ worth of debris.
20-Yard Dumpsters
This dumpster size is one of the most popular rentals. It’s great for medium-sized projects. If you’re doing home renovations, this kind of dumpster should be able to handle most of your junk.
This dumpster can hold about twice as much as a 10-yard dumpster can — six pickup loads of debris. It will take up a fair amount of space in a yard, so make sure you have enough room for it before you rent it. These dumpsters are usually about 14 feet long.
25-Yard Dumpsters
A 25-yard dumpster is ideal for many residential and commercial users. It can hold the same amount of weight as 10 trucks. It’s often longer and shorter and can contain a range of waste, including concrete, wood, and everything in between.
30-Yard Dumpsters
If you’re handling a larger home improvement project, like a roof renovation, you’re going to need a dumpster that is big enough for all of the debris. A dumpster this large will be able to hold all of your waste. These dumpsters are about 20 feet long, which means that they won’t work in every kind of yard. However, if you have the room for it, it can hold about 9 pickup truck beds worth of debris. You’ll be able to dispose of everything you need without an issue.
