Capacity

Rental Period
7 days standard
The 12-yard dumpster gives you a little more capacity than the 10-yard without a bigger footprint. It stands about 4 feet tall and still slides into a standard driveway. It's the sweet spot for projects that generate slightly more debris than a basic cleanout.
It holds roughly 12 cubic yards: about three and a half pickup truck loads, or the contents of two to three average rooms. Think a small kitchen-cabinet swap, a deck teardown, a single-room remodel with flooring and drywall, or a bigger garage or basement cleanout.
Low walls keep loading easy: toss items over the side or roll a wheelbarrow up without a ramp. One flat, all-inclusive price covers delivery, your rental period, pickup, and disposal.
Real projects the 12-yard handles every day.
Old cabinets, countertops, and flooring from a small kitchen refresh.
Tear out a small deck or patio and contain all the lumber and debris.
Clear years of clutter, boxes, and old equipment in a weekend.
Old carpet, padding, laminate, and tile from a room or two.
Old shrubs, small trees, sod, and landscape rock for a fresh start.
Clear stored items, old insulation, and seasonal clutter.
Most everyday debris is welcome. A few things, by law, can't go in.
*Rules vary by location. Not sure about an item? Just ask. We'll tell you exactly what's allowed in your area.
Every 12-yard rental includes a 1-ton (2,000 lb) weight allowance, plenty for mixed household and remodeling debris. Planning to toss something heavier like concrete, brick, dirt, or shingles? Just let us know when you order and we'll be happy to set you up with the right amount of weight. No surprises, no stress.

Everything you need to know before renting a 12 yard dumpster.
Pricing depends on your location and the type of debris, but you always get one flat, all-inclusive price covering delivery, a 7-day rental, pickup, and disposal of your 1-ton allowance. Enter your ZIP or call us for an exact quote in minutes, with no hidden fees.
The 12-yard is about 6 inches taller (4 ft vs 3.5 ft), giving you roughly 20% more capacity for a modest price bump. Both fit standard driveways. If your project is borderline for a 10-yard, the 12-yard gives you breathing room.
Every 12-yard rental includes a 1-ton (2,000 lb) weight allowance, plenty for household and remodeling debris. Tossing heavier material like concrete or shingles? Just let us know when you book and we'll set you up with more weight.
Yes, in almost all cases. It's about 12 ft long, 8 ft wide, and 4 ft tall, roughly the footprint of a parking space, and usually leaves room for a vehicle in a two-car driveway.
About 12 cubic yards: roughly 3.5 pickup truck loads, 65-80 trash bags, or the contents of 2-3 average rooms. Bulky furniture fills it faster, so size up for a whole-home clearout.
Most household junk, furniture, mattresses, carpet and flooring, drywall and remodeling debris, deck lumber, yard waste, and non-refrigerant appliances. Hazardous materials, tires, batteries, refrigerants, and wet paint aren't allowed. Just ask if you're unsure.
The standard rental period is 7 days, plenty for most small projects. Need it longer? Extensions are available. Just ask when you book.
Same-day delivery is available in most areas when you order before noon local time; otherwise next-day is standard. Tell us your ZIP and we'll confirm the soonest drop-off.
If the dumpster sits on your private driveway, usually no. If it needs to go on a public street, your city may require a permit. Just ask when you order and we'll walk you through it.
