How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size
Choosing the correct dumpster size is easier with help from our experienced team. We consider:
- Type of debris – Heavy materials like concrete or shingles usually require smaller dumpsters.
- Project scope – Estimate how many pickup truck loads you expect. One pickup load is about two cubic yards.
- Placement space – Most roll-off dumpsters need about 20 to 22 feet of clear space.
Our team will help you select the right dumpster the first time, avoiding wasted space and extra costs.
