What Size Dumpster Do I Need?

When choosing a roll-off dumpster, you can consider factors like the size of your project, the type of waste, the space available, and your budget

  • Project size
    A 10-yard dumpster is good for small cleanouts, while a 40-yard dumpster is better for major construction projects. 
  • Waste type
    If you’re getting rid of heavy materials like concrete or brick, you might need a special heavy debris dumpster. 
  • Space available
    If space is limited, you might need a smaller dumpster or consider a swap-out service.

While some of the most common placements for dumpster rentals are at homes and businesses, we truly have seen it all. If you need to move items out of the way and into a safe, confined space, then renting a dumpster is a smart choice – logistically and financially.

Citywide Disposal places heavy emphasis on clean equipment, respectful staff, and accommodating service to help your projects move forward without a hassle. We also recycle more than 70 percent of what we pick up in dumpsters.
