Dumpster Sizes
Construction

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

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 Murfreesboro, TN.

    I've used Dumpster Dudez for over 7 years and ordered at least that many dumpsters. The service has always been great, from the ease of ordering on their website to actually being able to talk to someone on the phone if I have any questions. Every time I remodel something on my house they are the 1st people I call!

    This my third time using dumpster dudez and I will never call anyone else as long as they are in business. The professional and friendly staff from drivers to dispatch are second to none. The communication and ease of booking a delivery and pickup even if you have to extend it for a few days is excellent. I use them for yard clean up and purging unwanted items and my wife and I love it when we have their dumpster here🤣 Honesty, quality, value and professionalism are just a few words I would use to describe their service.👍👍!

    Amazing experience from the start to finish. Great communicating and updating as far as delivery details great service and good pricing. I was skeptical at first trying to even rent a dumpster noticed my neighbor few doors down had rented from them a few days prior so gave it a shot. The whole experience was a breeze and I will definitely recommend them to anyone decluttering their home or just looking for a dumpster rental.

    Dumpster Dudz texted me when the drop off would be and when the pickup would be. I was surprised how quiet their truck was, I didn’t even hear it back up my driveway and I live in the woods where it is quiet. The driver, Guy, was very nice and personable. I won’t even think of using another dumpster company and I have a family member that is associated with one but won’t use them.
