Dumpster Sizing Guide

What size dumpster is right for your project? It depends on the size of the project you are working on and the footprint you have available to place the dumpster. We’ve broken down each roll-off dumpster size by dimensions, common uses, and their capacity equivalent in full-size pick-up trucks to help you decide which one is right for you. We have a strict 10 ton weight limit on all of our containers.  If they containers exceed 10 tons we are not able to safely lift them.
