Find the right size for your project
Not sure what size you need? You are in the right place. The quickest way is to count the job in pickup truck loads — about 3 for a 10 yard, 4–5 for a 15, 6 for a 20, 9 for a 30, 12 for a 40 — and then check the weight: concrete, tile, roofing and soil fill a container's tonnage allowance long before it looks full, so heavy material is usually limited to a 10 or 15. Everything else is a question of driveway length.
Your quote covers delivery, the rental period, pickup and disposal up to the included weight, and it is given before you book.

Why size matters
Choosing the right size is about money, not just room. A container that is too small means a second haul; one that is too big means paying for air. The usual mistakes are under-counting the pile by about a third and forgetting that dense material hits the weight limit first. When you are between two sizes and the material is light, go up; when it is heavy, go to a 10 loaded level or plan a swap.
If your street, HOA or driveway has tight access, say so when you call, and we will tell you before delivery whether the size you picked will fit and where it can sit.
Answers
Dumpster sizes — common questions
Not covered here? Call (475) 256-5131 and ask.
What is the most popular dumpster size?
The 20 yard is one of the most popular sizes: big enough for major cleanups and renovations while still fitting in most residential driveways.
How do I measure how much debris I have?
Count it in pickup truck loads and add a third. If the number lands between two sizes, go up.
What size do I need for concrete?
Heavy materials like concrete are usually limited to the smaller containers, such as the 10 or 15 yard, because of weight limits and transport safety. Tell us the material when you call.
How much space does the truck need?
Each size page lists the space needed for that container. Tell us about the driveway, any slope, overhead wires or tight turns when you call, and we will confirm before delivery.
