Not sure which dumpster size you need? Answer three quick questions about your project and we will recommend the best size, plus show you how it compares to all available options.
Select the option that best describes your project. This helps us estimate the type and volume of debris.
Our calculator uses data from thousands of completed dumpster rentals to match your project to the right container. We factor in three things: the type of project you are doing, the estimated volume of debris, and whether you have any heavy materials like concrete or dirt.
Heavy materials take up less space but add significant weight. A 10-yard dumpster full of concrete can weigh over 10 tons, well above the 1-2 tons of weight included with smaller containers. That is why our calculator recommends a larger size when heavy materials are involved, giving you more capacity while staying within weight limits.
Keep in mind that this is a starting recommendation. If you are between sizes or your project scope changes, our team can help you adjust. You can also use our Weight Estimator for a more detailed weight analysis, or our Cost Calculator to see estimated pricing.
