What Size Dumpster Do You Need for a Construction Job
Use these starting sizes. For concrete, brick, block, or dirt, choose by weight, since heavy material hits the limit long before the dumpster looks full.

|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete, brick, or block; deck or shed removal | 10 yard | $390 | 2 tons |
| Siding, window, or door replacement | 15 yard | $450 | 3 tons |
| Addition, garage build, or interior demolition | 20 yard | $520 | 4 tons |

Concrete, Brick, and Other Heavy Debris
Our 10 yard dumpster is a favorite of masons. Its low 3.5-foot walls make heavy material easy to load, and its 2-ton allowance is matched to dense debris like concrete, brick, and block. Weight over the included tonnage is billed at $75 per ton.

New Construction
Framing scraps, drywall offcuts, packaging, and pallets pile up quickly on a new build. A 30 yard dumpster keeps the site clear through framing and drywall, and the 2-week rental fits the pace of most build phases.
Additions and Garage Builds
Additions mix demolition with new construction: tearing out an exterior wall, then framing, sheathing, and finishing. A 20 yard dumpster handles most additions and detached garage builds.
Demolition
From tearing out a deck or shed to gutting a building's interior, demolition debris is heavy and bulky at the same time. Use a 10 yard for decks, sheds, and concrete, and a 20 or 30 yard for interior and larger demolition.
Siding, Windows, and Exterior Work
Old siding, trim, windows, and doors are bulky but fairly light. A 15 yard dumpster covers most whole-house siding or window replacement jobs.

Job Site Placement Tips
- Pick a spot on firm, level ground that a roll-off truck can reach in a straight line.
- Check for overhead wires and low branches above the placement spot.
- Put plywood under the wheels on driveways or finished surfaces.
- Keep debris level with the top of the dumpster; overloaded containers can't be hauled safely.
- If the dumpster has to sit on the street, check with your village about a permit first.
