Planning a home cleanout, renovation, or big home improvement project? One of the first questions you may find yourself asking is "What size dumpster do I actually need?"
Choosing the right dumpster size can make your project easier, more organized, and more efficient. Here at Delmolino & Sons, we decided to compile some information that may be helpful in figuring out what roll off size you'll need!
Available Roll Off Rental Sizes
We offer 10YD, 15YD, 20YD, & 30YD roll off rental dumpsters to accommodate everything from smaller home cleanouts to major renovation projects!
Start by Thinking About Your Project
Before choosing your dumpster size, consider these things:
How much material will you be getting rid of?
What type of material will you be disposing of?
How much space do you have available for the dumpster to be located in?
10-Yard Dumpster: Great for Smaller Projects
A 10YD dumpster holds about 3 to 4 pickup truck loads worth of trash. These are ideal for smaller projects that have a bit more waste than your regular trash service can handle.
Consider a 10-yard dumpster for:
Small garage/basement cleanout
Decluttering projects
Small bathroom renovations
15-Yard Dumpster: A Little More Room
Needing something between a small cleanout and a larger renovation? A 15YD roll off can provide that extra room without jumping all the way up to a larger container as it holds about 6 pickup truck loads.
Consider a 15-yard dumpster for:
Flooring removal
Furniture/Household cleanouts
Projects involving several rooms
20-Yard Dumpster: A Popular Choice for Home Renovations
For many homeowners or contractors, a 20YD dumpster is a practical choice for medium-sized projects as it offers enough space (7 or 8 pickup truck loads) for a significant amount of debris without taking up as much width space.
Consider a 20-yard dumpster for:
Multi-room cleanouts
Kitchen/Bathroom renovations
Roofing projects
30-Yard Dumpster: For the Big Jobs
A 30YD dumpster holds about 12 pickup truck loads worth of debris and are ideal for large home additions, or major demolition projects.
Consider a 30-yard dumpster for:
Large construction projects
Major property cleanouts
Major home renovations
Don't Forget About Weight
An important factor to keep in mind is how much your material/trash will weigh and what roll off dumpster would be the best option without having to deal with additional charges.
The type of debris you're throwing away matters just as much as the amount.
Before ordering your dumpster, let us know what materials you'll be putting inside. We can help you determine which option makes the most sense for your project.
Consider Placement of the Roll Off
You'll want to think about where the dumpster will be placed that best fits your project needs as well as how the truck & driver can safely get deliver and remove the box. Most homeowners choose a driveway or other easily accessible area.
Ensure there aren't any obstacles or potential hazards from where the roll off will be placed such as:
Overhead wires or branches
Nearby vehicles
Gates/fences or other access restrictions
How soft the surface is where you'd like the dumpster to be placed on
Planning the placement ahead of time can help make delivery and removal more efficient and safe.
Choosing the right dumpster shouldn't be another thing you have to worry about during your home project. Leave the waste to us and get back to the work that matters!
