Work out the volume first, then the weight, then whether the truck can reach the spot. We run 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 yard containers.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the dense-load size. Slab concrete, tile, paver stone and soil belong in it, because heavy material reaches the weight limit long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, a single bathroom strip or a small tear-off, and it is the easiest size to fit on a narrow drive beside a parked trailer.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the one most Davie households land on. It takes a full-house cleanout or a renovation running across several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a barn or outbuilding teardown, or new home construction with a lot of framing offcuts and packaging.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest and it handles commercial demolition, warehouse clearing and big land-clearing jobs.
On an acre lot, two smaller containers sometimes beat one large one, because the truck can place them where the work actually is. Your account manager will talk that through with you.
