How the Three Sizes Differ

Size up when the project has substantially more bulky material or when a second haul would be likely. Dense debris requires a weight conversation instead of simply choosing the biggest box.

Size finder FAQ

Before You Choose

Is the dumpster size recommendation guaranteed?

No. It is a practical starting point based on the project, scale and material you select. Debris weight, access and loading details can change the right choice, so call or text if you want confirmation.

Why does debris weight matter?

A container can reach its safe or included weight before it looks full when the load contains dense material. The 15 yard includes one ton, the 20 yard includes two tons and the 30 yard includes three tons.

Can I use the finder for concrete, dirt, rock or shingles?

Heavy materials - roofing shingles, concrete, drywall/sheetrock, tile, rock, soil and dirt - require prior approval. Contact us before loading so we can confirm the appropriate container and weight requirements.
