- Small kitchen or bathroom remodels
- Roof tear-offs up to approximately 30 squares

- Small deck removals or fencing
- Yard waste and tree trimming
This size typically holds the equivalent of four to five pickup truck loads.

With up to six tons of capacity, this is the preferred option for contractors and developers handling large projects.
How to Choose the Right Dumpster Size
Selecting the right dumpster size is not guesswork. Our team helps you make the correct choice by considering:
- Type of debris: Heavy materials such as concrete or shingles require smaller dumpsters due to weight limits.
- Project scope: Estimating how many pickup truck loads you will generate helps determine volume.
- Placement space: Most roll-off dumpsters require approximately 20 to 22 feet of length clearance.
Our specialists help you choose the right size the first time, avoiding unnecessary costs or delays.
