Dumpster Rentals 101
Dumpster rentals are versatile – they can be used for large outdoor events, construction projects, home renovations, large-scale cleanouts, demolitions, roofing projects and more.
Dumpsters are used to collect and dispose of materials generated from these sites like wood, metal, glass, brick, drywall, and cardboard. Dumpsters come in many sizes, depending on your specific need.

Dumpster Weight Limits
The weight limit for dumpster rentals varies based on the size and type of dumpster as well as the rental company’s policy. These are a general guideline of dumpster weight limits based on size:
- 10-yard dumpsters: 2,000 – 4,000 pounds
- 20-yard dumpsters: 4,000 – 8,000 pounds
- 30-yard or 40-yard dumpsters: 10,000-12,000 pounds
These limits are in place to ensure safe transport and to comply with local regulations regarding waste disposal. Remember to check with your rental partner to confirm their policies.
3 Tips For Easy & Effective Dumpster Rental
Give yourself enough lead time and plan ahead. Do your research and schedule your dumpster rental well in advance, especially during peak seasons like summer.
Communicate your needs clearly with your rental service partner. Provide instructions and let them know of any specific needs or constraints.
Adhere to pre-established conditions. Avoid overage fees by keeping in line with weight limits, prohibited items, and rental duration as established in your rental agreement.

Step 4: Use your dumpster rental

Our dumpster rentals accept household materials like carpeting, flooring, appliances, electronics, furniture, and yard waste. For construction sites, they can hold wood, drywall, roofing, concrete, dirt, gravel and more.
Remember to keep your included weight limit in mind to prevent overage fees. As long as you stay under the weight limit, your costs will remain within the flat quoted rate.
Step 5: Schedule your dumpster pick-up
To ensure pickup and avoid a trip fee, your dumpster must be accessible and only contain approved debris piled no higher than the sidewalls. Keep weight limit in mind to prevent overage fees.
