Some home improvement projects can generate a lot of waste. Roof replacements, kitchen remodels, and even estate clean-outs are major projects that are likely to produce far more trash than can be handled by your weekly pick-up service.
Dumpster rentals offer a convenient solution that allows you to easily dispose of a large quantity of trash. With a dumpster rental, you won’t need to worry about loading up a pick-up truck and making several trips to the dump. You can simply throw your trash into a dumpster and have it hauled away. Dumpsters help you work more efficiently while maintaining a clean and safe working area.
Dumpsters come in many different sizes and the size you choose matters. We’ll share information on the dumpster sizes available to rent from CFB Outdoors, so you can make the best decision for your project.
Dumpster Rental Sizes Available
CFB Outdoors offers three dumpster sizes, and here is a quick breakdown of each:
- 10-Yard Dumpsters
10-yard dumpsters are the smallest you can find, and they’re perfect for small bathroom remodels, estate clean-outs, landscaping projects, or even a small roof replacement. This size can hold somewhere between 4,000 and 6,000 pounds or roughly 60 bags of trash. A 10-yard dumpster is about equal to four pick-up truckloads. At about 14′ x 7.5′ x 3.5′, they can fit nicely in a small driveway. - 20-Yard Dumpsters
This mid-size dumpster can hold up to 3 tons of waste, which is the equivalent of 6 to 8 pick-up truck loads. If you’re working on a large bathroom or small kitchen remodel, standard roof replacement, or a large estate clean-out, this option might be right for your project. Most 20-yard dumpsters are about 22 feet long. - 30-Yard Dumpsters
The largest dumpsters offered by CFB Outdoors are ideal for large kitchen remodels that involve heavy appliances or new home or commercial construction. They can hold up to 5 tons of waste or the equivalent of 12 standard truckloads. Most 30-yard dumpsters are also around 22 feet long but are usually deeper and wider than the 20-yard cans.
Factors To Consider When Choosing A Dumpster Size
Choosing a dumpster size can be challenging, and the right choice comes down to the specific details of your project. If you’re struggling to choose a size for your dumpster rental, here are some questions to ask yourself.
- How Long Will My Project Take?
If you’re renting a dumpster for a long-term project, you might want to consider renting a size up. Estimating the amount of waste generated from a longer-term project is more difficult, especially if you expect it to go on for several months. Also, you probably won’t want to worry about emptying the dumpster’s contents during your project. - What Type Of Waste Will I Need To Dispose Of?
Make sure to consider what you’re going to be throwing away. It’s not just the quantity of materials, but also the size of the materials. If you’re dealing with large, bulky items such as cabinets, appliances, or furniture, you may want to go with a larger dumpster size. Smaller items, like roofing materials, aren’t as likely to take up as much space. - Where Will I Place The Dumpster?
You’ll need to make sure you have adequate the dumpster before renting it. If you have a small driveway or yard, a larger dumpster might not fit on your property. Take some time to scope out where you’re going to put it. You’ll need somewhere between 15′ and 20′ of overhead clearance and at least 5′ on all sides.
Remember, you can only fill your dumpster to the limit line; otherwise, your rental company won’t be able to haul it away. Items will need to be evenly spread throughout the can, and no trash can be sticking out from the top. Therefore, if you’re on the fence about the right dumpster size, we usually recommend going one size up to ensure you have enough room. This can be especially helpful if your project generates more waste than expected.
