How to choose the right roll-off size for your project.

Choosing the right dumpster size is crucial to keep your project on track and avoid unnecessary costs. A dumpster that’s too small might lead to multiple hauls, while an oversized one could mean paying for unused space. Start by estimating the amount and type of debris you’ll generate. Smaller cleanout jobs or minor remodels typically require a 9-yard or 15-yard dumpster, while larger renovations and construction work may need 20-yard dumpsters.

Different types of debris also impact sizing decisions. Heavier materials like concrete or roofing shingles may hit weight limits before filling the dumpster, requiring a smaller size to stay within safe transport parameters. On the other hand, bulky yet lightweight items like furniture or drywall are better suited for larger dumpsters. Our team can guide you through this decision based on your project details.

When in doubt, always ask your dumpster rental provider for advice. We regularly help homeowners, contractors, and business owners pick the perfect size to balance convenience and cost. By choosing the right roll-off dumpster, you ensure smooth disposal, avoid unnecessary fees, and keep your work site organized and efficient.
