Posted on March 24th, 2010 09:11:45 AM

When renting a dumpster for the first time it may be difficult to figure out what size you'll need. You may be asking yourself, is a 20 yard dumpster is too small? or what is equivalent to a 30 yard dumpster? If you are deciding to rent a dumpster for the first time here are some helpful hints in helping you figure out what size container is best for you:

(Refer to pick-up trucks and washer machines for visual examples)

• 20 Yard Dumpster Container 8' W x 14' L x 5' H

This is equivalent to 10 pick-up truck loads or 20 washer machines

• 25 Yard Dumpster Container 8' W x 15' L x 6' H

This is equivalent to 12 1/2 pick-up truck loads or 25 washer machines

• 30 Yard Dumpster Container 8' W x 22' L x 5' H

This is equivalent to 15 pick-up truck loads or 20 washer machines

* Just note that these sizes refer to the larger roll-off containers. They are mainly used to haul items or an abundance of items that usually weigh in tons. (1 ton=2,000 pds)
