Picking a size is mostly about density. We carry 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 yard containers in Lee's Summit.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right call for heavy, compact loads. Concrete, brick, mortar, and soil all hit a weight ceiling well before they fill the walls, so the smallest container keeps those jobs cheapest.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a basement cleared out, a small tear-off, or carpet and tile lifted from several rooms. It is a useful middle step when a 10 looks tight and a 20 looks wasteful.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice for Lee's Summit homes. A full-house cleanout or a kitchen and two bathrooms together will usually fit, and it still sits on a normal driveway.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles additions, new residential builds, and larger demolition work that produces mixed debris at volume rather than by weight.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest container on our Lee's Summit list. Commercial demolition, warehouse clearing, and multi-building projects are where it earns its place.
Tell your account manager the job and the heaviest material in it, and they will size it so you are not paying for air or for overage.
