To make your next project go as smoothly as possible, it's important that you're using the right dumpster size.

When renovating or cleaning your home, moving debris yourself can be time-consuming and stressful. It won't take long for your property to be littered with debris and trash. When transporting grubby, sharp, and bulky waste materials to the dump, remember that an appropriately-sized dumpster can save you time and money.

Dumpster Dudez is always the right company to provide you with satisfactory dumpster rental services. We have provided tips in this article to help homeowners choose the right dumpster size for their renovation or home improvement projects.

Available Sizes

Dumpster Dudez has 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-cubic yard dumpsters for rent. There's a dumpster rental option for every project! Choosing the right size dumpster for your project will save money since you won't pay for unused space. A dumpster that's too small for your project will cost more to replace.

To properly understand the dumpster, here is a mini-analysis of how to determine the correct size:

  • A 10-yard dumpster can hold approximately three truckloads of debris or 10 cubic yards of materials. It's best for homeowners embarking on basement, garage, and general household cleanups. It can also be used for small concrete removals and interior renovations.
  • 15-20 yard dumpsters are equivalent to six truckloads and are the right choice for big landscaping jobs, floor removals, roofing jobs, concrete removals, and bathroom remodels.
  • The 25-yard dumpster is the largest we provide at Dumpster Dudez. Whether you are undertaking a small demolition, a new home construction, a large pool removal, or concrete removal, it is the perfect solution for homeowners and businesses. It is equivalent to approximately eight truckloads.

We can handle a variety of types, including perishable and degradable materials. Visit our acceptable items page to learn more about what you can put in our dumpsters.

Consider the Weight

When hiring a dumpster, you should also consider the weight. Nonprofessionals only consider debris volume when it's just as important to consider its weight as well. For every dumpster size, there is a maximum weight that it can carry, and bricks and concrete may not be able to fill it completely. To handle heavier debris, you need a larger dumpster.

Why Dumpster Dudez Stands Out

Continuous dumpster service is most popular among commercial customers because it offers discounts and other benefits. However, if you call Dumpster Dudez, you will get any service you need, as we have a variety of plans available.

Dumpster Dudez has the right equipment with convenient drop-off and pick-up times that can be customized according to your schedule and a competitive dumpster rental rate. For reliable dumpster rental services, request your free instant quote today.

    The dumpster was a last minute decision, and they were able to deliver the next day. I needed time to get the permit first thing in the morning, so Joan helped get us set up for the last delivery. There were no hidden costs, and everything was easy from drop off to pick up.

    I have used this company 3 times now and have had no problems. Owner and staff are friendly and helpful. Delivery and pick up are quick and prompt. I also appreciate the length they go to, to preserve the area where the dumpster is placed. Would highly recommend!

    Dropped off on time, hauled away on time, dumpster was clean and easy to load. Pretty much all you could ask for. I don’t use a lot of dumpsters but at least now I know who to call.

    I was honestly blown away by this company’s service. My basement flooded and I called them in a time sensitive emergency to deliver a dumpster so that I could clear out everything that was ruined in my basement. Not only did they deliver it the same day I called (when they already had a full schedule), but they also managed to come and pick it up just a few days later on Friday afternoon since my son’s birthday party was the following day. Their service was exceptional from the woman I spoke to on the phone operating their desk to the owner himself who delivered the dumpster. 10 out of 10 recommend. I will be switching to their weekly residential trash services!

    I am a referral from a previous customer. Honestly, service could not have been better. I arranged for the rental online. They delivered next day. The gentleman that dropped it off was beyond polite to my wife and took care that it was where we wanted it. Pickup went smoothly. Communication was superb. Will definitely recommend.

    I bought a 7 unit and had to clean it out. I went through 3 big dumpsters and I told Dustin I had lots of old appliances and he said, just keep them on the side and I will pick them up for you. Everyone is so nice to work with. Very fair prices
