How to Size Your Project for the Right Dumpster

When someone calls unsure, here's the question we ask them: if you hauled it yourself, how many pickup truck loads would it take? Three or four loads is the 10-yard dumpster. Six is the 15-yard. Eight or more is the 20-yard. It works because people can picture a truck bed a lot easier than they can picture cubic yards.

Weight can override this. Dense debris like flooring, plaster, and shingles hits the tonnage limit before the dumpster fills up, so call (919) 524-4456 if your load is a heavy one.

One more tip: when a project sits between two sizes, weight decides. Dense debris like flooring, plaster, and shingles hits the ton limit before the rim; bulky-but-light loads want wall height instead. Call or text (919) 524-4456 and describe the pile, and we'll land it together in about a minute.
