Top Tips To Choose The Right Dumpster

Are you doing a major cleanout (garage, attic, basement, etc.)? Embarking on a large-scale home project (building an addition, demolishing a toolshed, etc.)? You need to consider the dumpster size you need

So, you’re starting a project and you’ve decided to rent a dumpster to help with the cleanup. That’s a great idea! Do you know what size you want? They come in many sizes. Determining which dumpster size you need is the next step, right after deciding to rent one.

But what size is going to be perfect for the job at hand? A lot of factors weigh in. Pricing may be an issue. How much debris are you going to have? What kind of debris will it be? All of these things matter. Let’s take a look at what goes into the decision-making process where dumpster size is concerned.

The Lesser the Load the Smaller the Dumpster

If you’re only getting rid of a little bit of junk or a small mess, you don’t need to go with a big 50 cubic yard dumpster. The bigger the job, the larger the dumpster should be. Because there are many sizes, you don’t have to go right to the biggest one if you have a medium-size load. But err on the side of caution and go a little bit bigger, just in case. You don’t want to get caught short with a full dumpster and debris still left over.

Measurements, as evidenced above, are noted in cubic yards. It refers to how much volume the dumpster will hold. Here’s how cubic measurements go: 3′ x 3′ x 3′ equals one cubic yard which equals 27 feet.

Ordinarily, the smallest dumpster size available is 10 cubic yards. These are usually perfect for interior renovations, concrete/dirt removals, attic cleanouts, general household cleanouts, basement cleanouts, and garage cleanouts. Let’s look at some other dumpster types.

50 cubic yard dumpsters and 40 cubic yard dumpsters are good for the following:

  • Huge amounts of cardboard, paper, or trash

Weight Is Another Factor

In the decision-making process, remember that how much your materials weighs is an important factor in choosing the right size dumpster. When all else fails and you’re just not sure, speak to a representative from the dumpster rental company. They do this stuff every day!
