Dimensions are approximate and vary by container. Weight allowances are typical; heavy material (concrete, dirt, shingles) should go in a 10 or 15-yard.

Which dumpster size do I need?

Rule of thumb: pick by weight for dirt, concrete and shingles; pick by volume for everything else. Still unsure? Read our sizing guide or just call.
