Dumpster Sizes
Construction

It can be difficult picking the right dumpster size for your demolition or construction project in Cincinnati, OH.

When you rent a smaller dumpster, you'll have to wait longer to get rid of everything, and if you rent a bigger dumpster, it'll cost more.

If you don't get rid of the junk, the junk will inevitably pile up on your driveway or surroundings, causing domestic accidents. Therefore, you should use the right-sized dumpster to eliminate the debris as quickly as possible.

Understanding dumpster characteristics will help you pick the right one. Projects can generate a lot of debris, so don't underestimate it. You should get a 10-yard dumpster if your small project has an estimated debris volume of 8 yards.

Getting Rid of Debris Will Cost You

Deliveries, mileage, and disposal should be included in debris dumpster services, and you should aim to do it right. To reduce trips to the landfill and avoid overage charges, you might need to overestimate or higher the amount of debris your project will generate. You can get dumpsters in different sizesand with varying limits of weight.

Dumpster Dudez has tackled a few small residential demolitions and construction projects, and we've got the perfect dumpster recommendation for you.

Demolition Projects in Your Home

If your bathroom needs to be upgraded to a full bath, the dumpster you'd need for such a project would be ten yards in size, with dimensions of 10 feet by 8 feet by 4 feet and a capacity of three to two tons.

Ten yarders are also suitable for these projects:

  • Removing fences
  • Removing your floor or carpet
  • Removing interior walls
  • Deck removal
  • Demolition of sheds, patios, and walkways
  • Full bath removal for medium to large homes

You'll need a 15 to 20-yard dumpster if you're doing DIY or to contract complete bath removal (10 ft. x 10 ft.). Make sure the dumpster is big enough to handle all the demolition waste.

Types of Debris

It's important to know what kind of debris you'll be removing during your project so you can hire the right size dumpster. Weight limits apply to each size of waste, as I mentioned earlier. Bricks, drywall, concrete, carpet, and drywall require a larger dumpster.

The good news is that Dumpster Dudez can help you figure out the percentage of different types of debris to recommend the right dumpster for your demolition project if you don't know how to estimate the amount of waste generated in your demolition project in Cincinnati, OH.

    Overall great experience. Great communication, delivery and pickup were exactly on time, delivery team took great care to put down wood and not damage the driveway. I was surprised to see that I was 1.09 tons over the 2 ton rate I paid for and charged an additional $100, but it did include a large amount of thick travertine tile. Their overage rates are a bit confusing though – Household debris is supposed to be $109 per ton, while Construction debris is $75. Mine was Construction Debris according to their description, and I seem to have been charged $90 per ton – maybe some combination of both?

    I ordered a 25 yard dumpster for a home clean out. The dumpster arrived as scheduled. The company was quick to reply to any of my questions via text and phone. Overall, it made a tedious job a bit easier. The pricing was reasonable.

    Good service. Reasonable price. Very nice equipment. Be careful going over on tonnage though because they will ding you for it.

    Great experience with Dumpster Dudez. I called on a Thursday, hoping to get a dumpster for the weekend. Joe answered right away and told me for my location he could have it there on Friday! I asked that they place it in the driveway for easier access. The delivery driver called (I was not there) because he was worried about blocking in a car......the car wasn't going to be used anytime soon, but the call showed he wanted to make sure BEFORE he placed the dumpster. The dumpster was clean and easy to open/close. I don't have much experience renting a dumpster, but my expectations are now pretty high.....I'll call Dumpster Dudez whenever I need a dumpster!

    I called around quite a few dumpsters places and ended up calling Dumpster Dudez and I’m so happy that I did! the service is top-notch. It’s almost like they’re open 24 hours. You text them and they’ll answer you no matter what time it is. I highly highly recommend them and also the price was cheaper than anyone and that’s taxes and all included.! thank you guys. Our job was done in a few days. I had originally got quoted for six because I was not confident of how long it would take to clean this old house out but it all worked out and I made a text message and the next day they were there to pick it up.!! I honestly cannot recommend this company enough !

    Joe at Dumpster Dudez of Northeast Cincinnati was quick to respond and went out of his way to help me with a home cleanout project. His business was professional, reasonably priced, and accomplished exactly what I needed. I appreciate how clean the dumpster appeared on the outside, (my clients don’t want a nasty looking dumpster sitting in their nice driveway) and the care Joe used when placing the dumpster exactly where I needed it. I will definitely use Dumpster Dudez in the future.
