Start with how much room the debris takes up, then check whether it's heavy enough to hit the weight limit first. We run five sizes.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is short enough for a narrow Valley Stream driveway and it's the right pick for anything dense. Broken concrete, roof tile, soil, and brick all reach their weight allowance while the container still looks half empty.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a bathroom gut, a basement cleanout, or a single-layer roof tear-off. It's the usual step up when a 10 yard looks tight but a 20 yard looks like overkill.
The 20-Yard Dumpster takes a full kitchen remodel, a whole-house cleanout, or a deck and siding job. Most homeowners here land on this one.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits an addition, a dormer, or a commercial fit-out that runs for weeks. Mixed debris adds up quickly once walls start coming down.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our biggest container, meant for demolition, large commercial work, and industrial cleanouts with steady daily volume.
If two sizes seem possible, describe the job to your account manager and they'll steer you to the one that costs less overall.
